MartianMan Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 What is funny is based on this site's strength of schedule Cleveland was ranked as the 25th toughest schedule. Played Cumberland twice, Fulton, Oak Ridge, and two of the three so called weak Single A teams were 25 win teams Meigs and Northview Academy. As said before Rome was not built in a day. That 2 win season would have been better if they would have played this year's schedule. Especially the Christmas tourney. East ridge, unicoi, then lose to a fair at best Meigs team. That was a strong one SMH! Unicoi and East ridge combined 16-38 that's a Cleveland tourney that was held to get Cleveland 3 wins. I know you can control who they let in it. Rome wasn't built on soft ground EITHER SMH !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to learn to win games, you have to build confidence in the girls coming off an all time worse season. You have to realize that it is year 1 of a very long process after the program hit rock bottom after having great recent success. You schedule comparable teams talent wise. This is high school sports, you can't just go and get 3 star athletes to compete with. If you get lucky enough to have a good group of talent you do everything that you can to prepare them for a deep run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the teams playing in the new Rec league. Some decent coaching and I think for a first year it looked pretty decent. Feeder systems pay off. If you can get them to stay in the programs.

It will take some time, it's not going to turn around over night. Going to take a lot of hard work and dedication and patience from the fan base.

BCBearsDen Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Indian, we do have zones. City and County. The City is it's own stand alone but county kids can pay and attend Cleveland City Schools. Many do in fact. A while back when we built Walker Valley our Dir. of Schools and Board members drew the lines for the 2 high schools. About 70% of the county student population was drawn to immediately feed the new school with the intent of balancing it back out once WV got well established. Now that WV is doing really well (about 1500) the word is that the districts may be redrawn at some point. Problem is Bradley is about full too. (1800) Here's a chuckle for you: There is a road that is less than 2 miles from the back gate at Bradley where the county line is that is zoned for WV which is actually about 17 miles from that same spot. As you go on further down that road toward Hamilton County, the zone doesn't change. A spot on the Hamilton County line 20 miles away is still zoned for WV. Probably about 6 miles from Bradley. That is one reason so many who attend the one middle school that is somewhat connected to WV actually choose to go to Bradley and drive 3-4 miles rather than 20 miles. I don't know if anything will change or even can at this point without expanding classrooms at Bradley, but there are some discussions about it. All 3 schools in our community are good schools with good people. I'm proud to cheer for all of them. (except when they play the Bears) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 How much of a ruckus would it cause to merge the systems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
