Classless

I beg to differ and there have been other teams complain to the Pickett county coaching staff and school officials of the harassment on the bench to no avail. And I defiantly disagree with York cussing the plates on the floor. There is at all times at least 2 sponsors with the pep club. I know them personally and they would not put up with cursing.

I can understand your frustration and concern. I do disagree with you, in that several student sections get out of control whether behind the opposing teams bench or not. For example, when PC's boys were in front of York's student section, they were repeatedly cussed and harassed. The only difference is PC players held their composure and didn't haul off and throw a punch. The young man on York's bench who threw the punch should have had more composure. Just because someone calls you a name, etc does not give anyone the right to start a fight. Being a former player myself, i was yelled out and called names, but I was there to compete and play ball. I ignored it. Again, I am not condoning what happened, but this is a problem for several schools.

And at what time was Pickett County in front of York's student section. They set on the opposite side of the gym. And as far as Pickett county players not being being envolved I'm sure that has something to do with the pep club punching kids sitting on the bench. This is ridiculous. And as far as my state representative not staying and supporting the kids from both schools he supposed to represent. I will make sure to lobby every person I find to show him our displeasure come the next election. The kids from fentress county are just as important as his grand kid.

Coach Wheaton?

 

No he is not the one that is being told around town.

You know exactly what was political influence I was referencing. You know who all went down with Pickett county as well as I do. Trust me the

blame lies with the adults that should have been supervising that student

section. They get out of hand and you know it. Out of the whole thing York has been screwed. If Pickett just got a slap on the hand then some of the

punishment that York received should be lifted as well.

I don't know what political influence went so please share. I may need to rethink my voting.

Not sure that it has. From all the talk it will be filled by an existing teacher/coach, due to budget cuts.

Ridiculous!!!!

Ridiculous!!!!

It's no where near like it used to be. I don't think it would be a problem with the kids. Some of the older generation would stroke out

Didn't say he didn't just stating it wasn't a team he built.

Dickie Brown

If I'm not wrong this is with a team he inherited. This was his first yr at YAI

It gets funding due to agreement made with a war hero. The county will have no choice if and when it's turned over. Not sure what this has to do with coaching staff. I hate the situation for the kids many of them have played ball since they were 6 or 7 years old. And now when they get to high school they are gonna end up with a coach that doesn't want to be there. So the real ones being punished are the kids.

Sounds as if with budget cuts at the school no one will hired from outside. Sounds like we're headed back to Yorks previous coach before Dickie.

York and Clarkrange have not played for yrs due to dividing the county back in the 50's. I wish they did play now. Most of the girls went to grade school on the north end any way. I happen to know the young boy that was being poked in the back of the head. He is a great kid. I don't condone what happened but if it happened like they have said you can only take so much.

I know very little about Macon. What do they have this yr. I know in the past they have always had a hard hitting team that comes after ya.

What's your thoughts?

They looked like different team last night. Hoping they were she'll shocked that first week. Either way these young men Are working hard at getting better

Freshman QB looked good tonight the line gave him time. Hopefully will get even better when we get some injured young men back. Great job tonight!!!!!

Very proud if the young men tonight. After a tough loss and losing even more starting players in practice this week, they pull off a nice victory in East Tennessee. Was nice to get to watch a hard hitting DRAGON team again. Wish them the best the rest of the season. Keep working hard and believing in each other and your coach and the season will be a great one.
