crazzyness Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Its not helped by the fact that in the past 8 years or so, Unaka has lost slightly over a 3rd of its total enrollment. That and in my opinion, the feeder programs haven't had strong, STABLE coaching staffs for over a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uknoit2 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 ones I've been to are pretty low, there's just not a lot of interest in the program with the kids or fans right now. Not really sure why. I would have to ask the same "why" question! For Unaka's gym not to be rockin would be strange to say the least. But I expect Hampton's crowds to be down after the way they've played and will remain down until they heal up and decide to play to their potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE KING Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I wish we could go back to the days when the student section was full of toboggin heads and the message boards were on fire with Creeker posters and a bounty was placed on the kings head. Those were exciting times in Carter county lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a lot of the jr high guys aren't staying together in high school either. We has 7 8th graders the year I coached at the jr high and I think by their senior year only 2 still played ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not every HS player played in YC, but it helps build future competitive teams...IF the YC boards are strongly behind the programs and they seek good coaches!

They all just need to get on the same page and play as one. I think we may have a small dose of the Green Eyed Monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
