RBS vs Cannon Nation

[redmolly]

Wow, that is really sad.  Why do they not have a team made up of 6-8th grades at the k-8 schools?

Cannon has 6 K-8 schools. Three of which are so small they have less than 130 kids in a school.Could be less than 20 boys per school in those top 3 grades. Might save money in the long run to close some of them maybe I do not know. All of those boys would not want to play. Just small schools. Larger schools do not want to field a team. Where would you

practice or even play everyone could not play at the high school field.  Most people must like it the way it is.

The kids are there. Walk up and down the halls of the school plenty of good athletes walking around. It's just there is no want to. No one wants to play for the laughing stock of the state. And that starts with coach. You have to make the kids believe you can win. No one in that school or the town of Woodbury believes Tj can win. I can remember the 3 years Barger was there, he had 40+ kids all 3 years he was there. He changed the culture from the "same old cannon county." Well they have fallen back to that point. And I believe this maybe the worst it's ever been over a period of time. Until you get someone in there who the kids believe in and show some progression, you're just going to be having the same conversation. It wouldn't surprise me if there is no football team at cannon county in the next 5-10 years if something don't change.

It wont ever change as long as they keep hiring Board members sons to coach rather than going and finding someone that actually knows the game and has a passion for it.  Do they have to wait for the next election of board members to get a new coach or can they make a change after more than likely getting worse every single year of the coaches tenure.  But hey after this year it probably cant get any worse.

Sounds like a lot of excuses for reasons to change and need change but will never happen because if the good ole boy system. Guess most people in Woodbury are glad it has not entered the basketball front with there programs.

You maybe correct if the next five are like the last five. It may die and I am sure some think it has already done that. Only three winning seasons out of the last 20 years.Last five plus seasons 3-50.

Not to be mean, the I like the HC. Known him my whole life, but good grief, a person has to see the ship is sinking. We're talking about kids here so you don't play Captain and go down with it. You jump off cause your not the guy to fix it, let someone else steer!!!! Swallow your pride and look in the mirror

[secretagentman]

I guess it's easier said than done to do that, sounds like he has the administration, school board, ad and other people in his back pocket with fools gold or just tinted glasses on, wish them luck this week vs RBS but no luck at all week 10

[secretagentman]

If people want change who would be the next in line he has a whole new staff this year be tough job to fill

[wbryguy]
