Good for them, thats exactly what you got to do to be successful. Total buy-in from the bottom to the top. If they can keep their talent from going to other schools, Lebanon is gonna run that region in a few years if Gentry stays there

That may be a bit of a stretch...

Lebanon done much more than just hire a coach. They made top to bottom changes. They put money into the weight programs and got weight rooms for the middle school programs as well. They took some of the smaller middle schools and put them together onto a single team. That way they didn't have kids playing out of position and getting beat 50-0 every week. Keeps kids in the sport and playing the correct position. Instead of getting to the high school level with kids from 4-5 teams that have played in different schemes, with different coaches and at positions they won't be playing in high school.

The talent has been there at Lebanon in the area. The two main middle school schools have been pretty good off and on with some good talent. But that talent wouldn't go to Lebanon. That talent would go to Friendship Christian. I could name 4 or 5 kids that are now playing college ball that went to Friendship that were zoned for Lebanon in the last 3-4 years. They didn't want to play for a team that struggled to win a game. Those type of kids are now going to Lebanon.

Kids want to play football now. Chuck Gentry is doing a great job. 

How many JV players play on the freshman team?  Just curious.
