Got to see 'em practice yesterday. I agree they looked good. Energetic. The boys seem to like Coach Moore. He's definitely a different style than Coach Vic. I counted 34 boys. Hopefully I missed some. And the scrimmage time has been changed to 4:00.
Just saw something on Facebook about a parent at Marion who is upset about something at the school. Don't know any of the particulars, but apparently he has been granted an interview with Channel 9.
It is correct that Webb was fired from her coaching position. She and her family threw multiple fits and acted very childishly. She then resigned her teaching position and wound up at RHMS. It was recently made known that her RHMS contract will not be renewed. It was known that a teaching position would come open in Jr. High before Webb was asked to step down from her coaching position, so there was no hanky-panky in that area. Webb could have stayed on as a teacher even with Wilson there. Ross, I think, also acted childishly. He now is gone. As far as the SPHS principal job - interviews should start in about two weeks. The BOE learned a few lessons from the Ross incident and that is why it has taken longer than most thought. At least two teachers have noted their desire to retire.
I probably should clarify that the coach shouldn't be a big surprise, but if things suddenly go in a different direction the principal will be a surprise.
Well, to be honest I DO know who the coach will be, and I'm 99% sure about the principal....but, alas, it would be unethical for me to reveal this information. I CAN reveal that there will be no big surprises.
And just to keep this thread from getting boring.....Lil Man quit baseball yesterday. Says he is having trouble with his knees and wants to get them in better shape for football at that college that signed him.
I understand the principal resumes are being reviewed, so maybe it won't be long. As far as a coach who knows. One thing is for sure spring practice is when new ideas are introduced and worked on, and if the new coach doesn't get to have a spring practice the boys could be in for a very busy summer (if we have a coach by then). What are the rules for summer practice? Are they allowed to get on the field, even if only in shorts? Are they allowed to meet in the field house and have skull sessions?
