First let me agree with Bigchief. MJCA should have never let Coach Harrison go, Coach Roberts did a great job with the players he had. I would like to make some comments on bigchief and gotfootball52 post. I too have been around MJCA for many years and have seen many improvements over the past 5 years. They've been able to accomplish this even with out big sponsors like Gaylord or Cracker-Barrel. I know they would welcome business like this to help them grow. They've been able to make these accomplishments with good Godly people that are not afraid of coming together and getting their hands dirty to get something done. Over the past 5 years they've been able to improve on the following:
1- New Bleachers for the football field
2- New sound systems for the football field
3- New soccer field
4- Two new practice fields for football Middle School and High School
5- New football locker rooms
6- New hitting facility
7- New bath rooms and concessions stands for baseball and football being built now.
I was told Coach Roberts left the school for family reasons. I completely understand that and wish him and his family the best as he pursues a new chapter in their life.
Back to you BigCheif, you seem to know alot about other peoples salary and other schools programs. I would like to ask you a question. If MJCA is a school going nowhere in the football program, why did you tour MCJA's hitting facility? Just wondering!!!!
I've seen other post where you reference 5th and 6th grades football success to bring other kids in to play. Let me give you some facts about that. The first team had 10 kids from outside the school and out of the starters 2 kids went to other schools. FCA started its program the same way allowing kids to do the same. I would like to let you know this year that same team with all the kids coming from MJCA went 8-0 in Middle School.
I also notice the comment about MJCA ever beating Webb or FCA. If you been around these teams when do you think FCA will beat Webb?
I have freind with kids in FCA,DCA, and MJCA and have the upmost respect for their program. I hope and pray that MJCA will find the right coach that will be there for a long time.
I agree with BigChief on somethings the tuition is very affordable. They do have financial assistance, and great Christian base.
I've been to Mount Juliet and Wilson Central on friday night and see alot of kids who never get a chance to see the field. Its nothing about the schools its a numbers thing.
