The issue is not the athletes, its depth, and quality depth that is. Central has some athletes, but not enough. Yes, they were in some games, but to say they should have won the games they lost is an unrealistic statement. They got beat in the second half, and why do teams get beat in the second half? Depth! Just ask the Vols! The only game they "should have won" was the Polk County game. They should not have beaten Tyner, Red Bank, Howard, and maybe even East Ridge. The coaches lost the East Ridge game. The Senior class had a chance to be very good, but when talented players do the wrong thing and get dismissed or quit the team due to not wanting to work hard, then a talented class becomes very average. Central's sophomore class is pretty good, not great and they only have a couple of juniors that are players, so anyone who thinks next year will be any different is mistaken. 411 seems to know a lot about the kids going through Central and the ones who have left. That is what Central has to do to become a good program, keep the talent on the Hwy. I doubt they can do that until the administration and coaches make an investment in the program and decide they want to win. Numerous kids over the year have went elsewhere, but if they could keep the talent, they would contend for district titles every year. Where was Jacques Smith zoned for? Central. Where was Demonte Bolden and Greg "Green Mile Smith zoned for? Where was stud running back Justin Houston from Bradley zoned for? All Central. Several stars on other team right now(Ooltewah, Baylor, Tyner, East Ham, McCallie, Signal Mountain, Bradley and others) should be at Central. Got to keep the talent that is in your back yard, I would highly recommend doing whatever you need to due to keep the stud running back from Brown at Central and not bolting for Baylor, Ooltewah, or East Ham.
