Centennial will continue to struggle until they have a complete overhaul of their athletic programs. The school is currently 10 years old, so it is not the new kid on the block. They have had some success in girls soccer and softball but in boys sports only the baseball team and golf team have had any reasonable success. Centennial does not have a true feeder school, so kids that have a choice choose other schools like Franklin High because they win or are at least competitive in every sport. Centennial's greatest downfall is from the top/ down. The athletic director is the football coach, which has had only one winning season a 6-5 season a few years ago does not support the total sports program, you also have a principal that is so focused on academics that he is not concerned with the values taught through athletics. Brentwood High, Ravenwood, Page, and now Independence surround Centennial and all have a good balance of academics and athletics, this and the fact that a lot of Centennial's best athletes no longer want to play will be Coach Gregory's downfall. I know Coach Gregory and he is a good man and good coach but sometimes it's time to move on.
