Things are quiet in Maverickland.  This year and last year are tough.  I'm not giving up by any stretch but it's a little harder to have that swagger if you know what I mean. 

Yeah, I hear ya mav.  We just miss you guys.  We've had a lot of fun over the years.  It is way more fun when AC is really good.  Hang in there. too good of a program to be down long.

What is this rezoning I'm hearing about?  Will that help Pal?

I've heard that mentioned, but I don't know anything about it. To be honest, the last round of rezoning helped Powell tremendously (Hardin Valley opened, which shifted a lot of the Karns, Powell, West, and Central zones), because it moved the Pleasant Ridge/South Clinton Hwy corridor into the Powell zone.

 

The problem isn't really a zoning issue, it's simply an effect of so much coaching turnover. Matt Lowe did an amazing job taking a good program and making it great, and I don't blame him at all for eventually taking over at King's Academy. It was the right move for anyone in his position; KCS just isn't in a position to reward someone like Lowe financially.

 

Derek Rang was a steal for that program in 2012, and despite losing some key pieces, he took Powell within one score of a second state title game appearance. Sadly, KCS let him twist in the wind because of the infamous testing "irregularity" issue the following spring. His status with KCS was up in the air for months, and he was right to move on with his career. He's doing an amazing job out in Dresden.

 

Toby Kilgore was a stop-gap hire; good guy but had his sights set on an admin position (which he has since achieved since moving to Karns, while ending his coaching career). 2014 was the death knell with John Allen. His short tenure decimated the program. The details of Allen's reign have certainly been discussed on this message board at length, but Rodney Ellison has his work cut out for him, trying to fix what Allen essentially broke. IMO, it all starts with rebuilding the roster. Easier said than done, especially with the privates (GCA in particular) pulling more and more kids from the zone. He's doing a good job so far, and Powell is noticeably better compared to last season, but they are still a few years away from being competitive.

I could rub it in on AC and say I predicted this two years ago but I haven't. ... I feel for the kids expecially mason...hard to run the ball behind a weak line,..I know there counting on those 4 or 5 players from norris next year but you have to have more than that....a 5 win season next year still want change the future ..maybe 3 or 4 more years the fans will finally see....GT recruiting days from halls,central,union county and yes CC are over. Ac will have to make a change or they will always be a 500 or lower team..that's just my opinion

Hog, you have gone easy on them, that's for sure.  A kinder gentler Hog?

    • Hmmmmm……doe dee doe doe….i drove the lawnmower down to practice today…….hmmmm…… we got some new faces………. One can run faster than my lawnmower in fifth gear…… a few will be disappointed come November that they jumped ship and went down to that sewage facility……. You can bet the lawnmower on that. 
    • I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.
    • Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think. 
    • “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker. 
    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
