The lack of speed in the entire district was on full display in the West beat down of Campbell County.  The OR kids that have a chance to be fast need to run track this winter and spring that way they get weights (getting faster specific) and a lot of competition and fast running.

Brandon Bonds huge improvement is a great example of what the winter and spring can do.

Hey Sweet Science you hit the nail on the head with Fadnek being slow but I know Logan and several other Cats have already started working with a speed and agilities coach and weight training coach already. Getting a head start I guess.

I think the problem with the speed and agility coaching is the lack of competition.  The sure way to get faster is to work and race to get faster.  The competition component is missing from almost all private coaching situations.  Racing fast people is like running from the lion, get faster or get eaten.

Soxfan you are correct but it also takes proper mechanics to run faster as well. When your legs and arms aren't moving as they should that's when the speed and agilities coach helps tremendously. No different than proper footwork for a QB in his drop backs

Wow, yes!  That's what they do at track practice. Proper mechanics on each step can bring a 4.8 guy down to 4.6 or 4.5something.

    • No reasonable lawyer would take up this case. I am not a lawyer, but I know school law in and out.  Similar situations just like this play out thousands of times each year across the country, even at the college level (i.e. Ole Miss)  The Plaintiff's never win...ever.  If I am wrong, please provide a legal precedent for me. I will be waiting.  https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39431892/judge-drops-ole-miss-player-lawsuit-lane-kiffin  
    • Yes Justin Cruse was named head coach
    • It used to be, I think it still is, a change of 20% +/- gives reason to reclassify. Schools can choose to play up classifications but not down. Here is the mid cycle reclassification info on TSSAA.org When Memphis East changed from a regular public school to an "all-optional" school in 2017 the would've dropped to A but chose to stay in AAA in basketball (baseball, and softball) Penny was still coaching there and with the players they had they would've beaten A teams by 40 and slept walked to the championship. Other Memphis schools stayed in their classifications (mostly in basketball) until the next reclassification cycle. Of course this is the same time that a 4th class was added basketball.
