I am gonna give my take on all this since I've went through it. We had a good summer and we played hard all year, correct. We did not upset anybody, wrong we were ranked at the bottom of the conference and came out 5th, and beat EHS twice this year (which they said hasn't been done in a while) granteed they were down this year from previous years, we also had conflicting calls during the HV and Central games both at home which COULD have been season changing upsets, but ya never know. We finished 2nd in the Hardee's Classic, and in recent years we haven't made in past the first round. As far as coaching goes, I think coach McClain did a great job this year he made some good decisions and some bad ones and he knows that just like eveyone else knows that. He had to dismiss some players from the team because they chose to break the rules and I think he did what he had to do to keep order and control. I know he is very interested in coaching at Hampton and I think he is going to push his players as hard as he can to get the best out of them and I think he will get better with time. I think Bulldog basketball is in the right direction now after personally going through it myself: freshman year (got beat in 1st round of regionals by Chucky Doak) (18-15), sophmore/junior years (got beat by Unicoi in pigtail game 2 years in a row) (5-22) (9-19), senior year-this year (lost 1st round of districts to Unicoi) (11-18)...all that is from since we went AA, next year we go back to A and we have some very experienced players now. To bouncepass, I don't know if "he" got offered the job or not but all I'm worried about is who is going to replace "him" where "he" is now? Got any suggestions cause I don't think "he'll" stay forever. And to rwilson679, thanks for the compliment but there were more than me out there this year but we have had much more talent the past couple of years vs this year, and I do think you have a good grasp of whats going on in Hampton, Thanks for your support.
