Maybe things will at some point turn around for the Portland program. Some of you die-hard P-town fans please correct me if I am wrong but I have been following Panther football for many years and to my knowledge this is the first year in their history they have ever had a 0-10 record. Is that right?

 

Yes, I believe so. It's also the first time Portland has played in 5A.

That's true but aren't you playing several of the same schools you have been playing for the past 4 years?

Didn't they lose to other teams that were not 5A or 6A? Station Camps 1st year in 5A. I was at PHS and MJ game and there is some talent on that team. I don't know why your coach didn't keep passing the ball on MJ. MJ couldn't stop the short passes. It looks like a lack of coaching at least from the game I seen them play. The kids looked as they were giving it their all.

This is what I've been saying the entire time. The talent just isn't there and hasn't been. These coaches are no better than the previous. My question still remains how long is the rope in Portland? The coaching wasn't the problem then, but it was the easiest to blame for bad play and a team that doesn't have the talent of the teams they are playing. The community needs to realize the program isn't what it once was and I don't know that it will return anytime soon, if ever. I believe portland just may be turning into a stepping stone for coaches in the future. Appears to me if you can have a winning season or perhaps make the playoffs, someone at a decent program will give you a shot. If you can win here, you can win anywhere!

I believe Portland threw the ball 38 times that game. Check your facts before you open your ignorant mouth. Which 1 of the 4 varsity coaches is slacking?

Yes, they played Beech, Station Camp, Greenbrier, Mt. Juliet, & White House last year. They lost to all of those teams last year and this year.

I figured that they would win at least half of those games, seeing that you got the new coaching staff. That was the problem over the last few years, right? Bad coaching? Couldn't be the lack of athletes?

 

The previous coaching staff were excellent coaches. The problem was bigger then that.

 

I guess that's really my point, but it was really easy for the community and all the "fans" to blame the coaches. They were good guys and good coaches.the problem is reality. A mule isn't going to win the Kentucky Derby...

The previous coaching staff were excellent coaches. However, how you treat players, parents, and administration is totally different. There is a reason why you had 8+ players (a lot of them being starters) parents, and community quit on the staff last year 3 games into the season.

      Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Summit22 · Posted

      Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2.

      It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
