IMDog

I don't have a dog in this other than knowing some of the girls on cloudlands team,but it sounds like sour grapes to me,I've been all over the state watching both boys and girls basketball,most students sections are brutal on the refs and opposing fans and team,im not saying its right but don't single a team out for what a lot of teams do.

I know he puts in the time,I know the family feeling remember im from the mtn,i know he works hard and he's really loves the girls but I feel like he has had quite a bit of talent though out the yrs,I like Matt known him since he was just a little guy,so im not putting him down and he is a good coach,I just think it's a little easier to coach when you have better players,which happens at all the schools

I agree Matt is a good coach but yr in yr out he has talent,most of the time the girls that come up to the high school have been taught well by youth club thur Jr high,I honestly can't remember a time that hes had a untalented team.

Consolidation,may well be on its way,but i don't see carter county high being a 5A school,maybe a 4A or 3A,cloudland barely has enough kids to keep the doors open and most of them would head over to Avery,most of Unaka would more than likely to head to E town,it's just according to where they would build the school.im sure they will continue to close the elementarys before thinking of the high school.i for one would love to see consolidation,if they do it correctly,and don't take the cheap route

There's just not that many kids up on the mtn,so you really can't afford to lose 1 or 2 starters,plus most of the people who move in are retired very few families moving in with kids,and it's not just roan mtn,it's up the creek and Hampton as well.i have to say and I hate to say it but for the past couple of years region 1 has to be the weakest in the state,there's no reason cloudland shouldn't win it every year.

Oh I totally agree no need to beat a dead horse,time to move on

Oh yeah forgot hope your girls have a great and injury free season

Sounds like the lady Landers are loaded for bear,should have a very good season,and maybe a glass house visit

Just going by what i was told,if im wrong im wrong it doesn't really matter

Im going by what a friend of the mother had told me I was under the impression that the school board,had made so changes due to so many kids from johnson co going to little Milligan,but if im wrong im wrong.

Then why did the other brother and sisters go to unaka,hunter

I would be surprised if Zac stayed too much longer at Cloudland,I think he does a great job with what he has and has done well with the younger kids,but I just don't think the interest by the boys up there.There has been so many retirees move in with no interest in the school.id love to see consolidation happen.

Pretty sure it is,just going by what some of the boys said about the QB talking crap,but I know for sure the family had to change schools

The QB from unaka was pretty well forced to go to unaka because of the district rules,not sure but one of his parents worked at Hampton,from what i understand all of their kids went to Hampton for yrs.the QB for unaka talks a lot of crap on social media,he kinda made it personal,even though his brother still got to play for hampton,the parents had to get a waiver for him to play at Hampton since he was a senior.ive never been one to say to take it easy on other team but this was a total mismatch from the word go,and i will say Hampton played on a whole other level,they pretty much bullied unaka all night but that's football

I've also noticed that like roan mtn the creek has had a ton of out of staters move in most are retired.you have to have youth club teams to be successful anymore
