Tullahoma

[ecu]

It seems strange that a school this size would be so bad every year. They probably have not had two winning seasons in the last twenty years. Any thoughts on why.

[onpoint]

no thoughts on why for the last 20 years.

 

this year with the 4th (?) new coach in 5 years, it seems to be taking a different role. the team has been conditioning every day it has been able to since the new coach arrived (to my knowledge this has never happened with any consistancy). when the new coach came in, she made no hesitation about getting rid of seniors (minus one) who had never played. this year the tullahoma team starts 3 freshman & 2 juniors, 2 of the 3 freshman play almost every minute of the game in addition to playing all of their freshman and all of their jv games. although, the varsity team seems at times to have difficulties there are sparks that give one a glimmer of hope. the jv/freshman team (same rosters) are now 10-3 and have beat jv teams from creekwood, loretto, riverdale and cannon county to name a few. some may say, well JV does not count. I would offer that those girls playing jv ball are mostly of the same age groups of freshman and sophomores. our very YOUNG varsity this year are improving tho the win/loss column would not entertain that idea. in the last 2 games they have lost 72-60 (tullahoma girls haven't scored 60 points in any game in years!) and the last game lost 70-50. freshman girls generally have a lot to learn, and this young team will hopefully learn more and gain more knowledge as time progresses.
