The way it seems to be going on these threads, it must be easy to get them locked. All you have to do is ask the right questions to the right posters, and everyone knows who they are, and the thread will be locked. But I must say that's a good way to avoid answering questions that would show the true feelings of the posters that have been asked these questions.

Again this thread is just an example, and a small one at that, of the things that Coach Dugger and the Lady Cyclones will have to face this season. Etown you can try and sugar coat things all you want, but the facts are facts. You have a girl that left her home school for another and feelings are going to be hurt. She just as well threw her uniform in Happy Vally High School's face. You might want to get your facts straight, have you talked with any of the parents of the "original" Lady Cyclones? I have, and if you think they are all happy with the transfer, then you are kidding yourself. Have you talked to any of the players? I have, they'er not all happy. Someone is going to sit the bench that otherwise would be playing, you can't play 6 at one time. They are going through the summer knowing this and wondering "who" is going to be the one that sits. Remember, they to, gave their time and loyality to Coach Dugger and the Lady Cyclone program way before Cara did. I think Highlander is just trying to give everyone some insight to what the Lady Highlanders went through

Do you wan't the girls that quit to go back and play? Will they get your support if they do?

I hope they all chose to come back and play, for themselves, if for no other reason. IMO I think they would be supported.

It was just a guess, and for lack of better words, a bad one on my part. As you can tell I have no DOG in the fight. All of my post are from an outside view. I do think screenandroll said it best, I think later down the road these girls will come to regret not playing. I have experienced this personally and regret it still to this day, 17 years later. After all they are 16 and if they are missing being there now, imagine 10 to 15 years from now. I know you are going to say it's their decision, and it is, but they are 16, IMO it is up to the adults to guide them, not paint a false picture, life is tough, and it's only going to get tougher. As you can tell I'm not a fan of quitting. IMO, and again IMO, rangerchick, if you miss playing, go, and play. IMO, if the parents and fans supported your decision to quit, they will support your decision to play. I hope not another bad guess. Rangerchick, sorry for the assumption in my previous post.

Quit posing as a 16 year old on coachT. One user name is enough. Every reader knows you are not one of the players, just one of the parents. For the record, I was using trustworthy's quote on the all-Americans. Which brings me to ask, is your daughter going to go play for Coach Dugger?

trustworthy, what were the accusations on Coach Chambers? Please, What or who was the Lynch mob sitting across the gym?

I would guess that if Dugger is not recruiting them, then they are not all americans.

We, the posters, hope they don't quit on you also. LOL Just kidding, I couldn't help myself. I hope you form your own team and everything works out for you, the rest of the parents, and the 5 or 6 players. By the way, can you answer my question, that all the first time posters keep avoiding, "who are the people, person, or family they are talking about"? One more question, if Coach Wright ran and your husband went out behind him, was he walking or did he have to run to keep up? If he ran, he was chasing.

I don't live on the creek, so inform us. Don't be like the rest, the readers want to know.

Most of us have no knowledge of Unaka sports, so who are they? Who is the one or one's taking away their high school playing days? Not to get anything started, but this sounds more like an excuse for the players that quit than what is really going on. One of my reasons for this thought is the way your hatred for Coach Wright is most evident in your post. Secondly, you want Coach Wright out as the Coach who, after reading your post, will be after another year, and you are still not happy. If what you say holds water, should you not be getting the girls to stay or hang on for one more year? Which brings me to ask, again, who will be the one taking Coach Wright's place? Is this what you and the rest of the parents of the girls that quit want?

WOW!, Who are the"good old boy's"? Who is the daughter? Who is it that is going to take Coach Wright's place? Who is the family? Who was the deal made with? More info......PLEASE. All readers are waiting!

I agree with your post almost entirely, almost. The battle has already been lost if Coach Dugger has to manage minutes and keep everyone happy with playing time. As for slander, I was simply refering to Coach Dugger dealing with transfers. To assume intent, good or bad, will be something Coach Dugger and the Lady Cyclones will deal with all season.

Even the spot that has been taken from another player? Even Ed? I will say, ALL the bases BETTER be covered. A fake move WON'T get it done with this one. I think parents believe what they want to believe when it comes to their kids, even if it's not true. I'm sure TSSAA will stay informed through out the entire year.

I don't think Coach Wright is the problem, didn't these same parents cause problems in softball also? I don't know, that's just what I got through the grape vine. Let the Coach coach and the players play. It sounds like the house cleaning has been done, by Coach Wright. If the players quit and the parents let them to make a statement, then the school and program are both better off in the long run. I have yet to read anything that Coach Wright has done that should make the players quit. Removing the meddling parents was probably the best move for the program. I also got through the grape vine that the removal of some of these people was by request of the players. If this is true, who and why?
