All I can say about cloudland is Lunsford returns and power is restored I also like Hampton and they have a good coach in Lunsford jr

I haven't posted on here in quite a while,but since my name was brought up I can tell you this I've always supported cloudland even if I don't like the job the coaches have done lately.I'm not a football guru like pujo and king and theres no way I could be a coach either,but I know a good coached team when I see it and we haven't had one since mike left.I don't criticize out of dislike I just tell it as I see it,Robbie is a good guy I just don't think he was ready for coaching and it showed on the field, I don't believe it was lack of talent.I'm really tired of the whole mess that why I don't post on here anymore cause it really doesn't matter what my opinion.it is what it is.I'll still support cloudland and hopefully the new coach who ever it may be will bring some respect back to the program.I miss the good old days.

Pujo,That was one of the things I liked about Mike it didn't matter who's kid it was.Mike didn't do the senority thing if a freshman could do the job better than a senior then the job was his.It didn't matter who the parents were.One of cloudland's best freshman teams sat on the bench for three years while robbie was there.very few saw any playing time til their senior year.

Ford Baker would have been a good one for the job,look what he did with the jr. high when he was there.my guess is Matt Birchfield gets the job.

Who ever takes over they have their work cut out for them,good luck to robbie in the future.I hope the powers that be study real hard on who the replacement will be.we can't afford anymore losing seasons.

yeah king,i hope so.I just hate to see a once great program reduced to shambles.I don't blame the kids for wanting to play some where else it kills me to even watch a game anymore,I know we are better than this.

Everyone knows what the problem is so why don't they fix it.

I think everyone is disgusted with cloudland football pujo,including me.

Yeah Pujo,I could see the possibility of players transferring to a nearby school,which would probably be Hampton of course.I don't see any going to Unaka.

Its going to take alot to rebuild cloudland's program to where it was Pujo,personally I would love to see your brother back there coaching,but I don't see that happening.It would probably take a couple years even for him to rebuild but once he got reestablished I think it would be back to the good old days.I don't see Hampton letting him get away anytime soon though with all the success they have been enjoying.

I think there needs to be some serious changes at Cloudland if it means a new coach then so be it,Robbie has done his best and it just isn't working.Its not from lack of talent from the kids that we aren't winning,I think alot of people have figured that out by now.

ole tiger is just totally classless I've seen nothing but respect from the hampton folks,rockwood was the better team plain and simple,you will get a taste of the private school dominance next week.

Happy Valley is not the team we want to be facing right now coming off 2 losses,this game could have a big effect mentally on the team.if we lose this one they might just give up on the rest of the season,I hope they can turn it around this week I think if they practice hard this week and like 91 lander said cut out all the mental mistakes we could win this one,its going to take a team effort.

yeah it hurts to lose one because of a stupid penalty it was our game until that happened.

Cuda, I do agree with you. I'm not at the practices but I would hope that the coaches are trying to teach proper blocking and tackling. I also don't know what that kid was thinking when he tried to jump on that punt when nobody had touched it. Surely, our boys know more about the rules than that. When we scored that go ahead touchdown, a stupid motion penalty brought it back and that was the nail in the coffin. I will say that Matt Cole and Aaron Tolley are horses. These guys should carry the ball at all times. Morgan cannot help us until he learns to run the ball hard and quit dancing and spinning around. I think Trey should be given the opportunity to take over Morgan's role. And this is the first team I've seen up here in a long time where the running backs are more physical than the offensive line. From what I saw, the O-line just doesn't want to put forth the effort to block. I saw several plays where the line was turning around and watching the RB's dragging defenders down the field. Another thing that needs to be addressed is personal fouls. If I was the coach, any kid that drew a personal foul would sit on the bench the rest of the year. I think it makes the team look bad because the player only thought of himself and not his team. Like I said, I am not at the practices and I don't know what the coaches are trying to instill in the players. I go back many years with 3 of them and I know that they are super good guys and I don't want to say anything on here to cause hard feelings. Losing is something I am not accustomed to. I don't even get beat at tic-tac-toe. I guess I expect everyone else to be warriors too. The pride is gone up here. There is only the memory of the good days where we imposed Highlander willpower on the opposition. In order to get it back, we need to come together as a community and support our guys and let them know we are behind them. Then it comes to the players. Those guys have to be willing to be perfect and to take pride in their work. All that being said, I love Cloudland football and want to get it back to where it was. On a good note I would like to say that I think #18 tyler shell earned himself a starting position last night,what do you think?
