People should still support their school even if the team is rebuilding

[nrgrizzlies]

This is the most people a huge school like LaVergne can put in the stands for a season opening game at home?  People need to support their local prep sports and other extra-curricular activities.  Ten years ago LHS Marching Band would have gotten more friends and family than this to the game.

If the school cared, the HC would have been gone a long time ago. No coach in the state does less with more

What is rebuilding?

William Blount’s Head Coach could easily rival LaVergne’s head coach as the leader in “doing less with more”.... The school/AD is good with it though!

Shad has about another 6-7 years before you can make the comparison. WB was never going to be a quick fix and they've never had the kind of college level talent LaVergne has had

They played Lebanon (at Lebanon) here recently and I kid you not there was maybe at most a dozen people in the stands. Which is pathetic for that many parents to not even make the 30-minute trip to support their kids.

But yeah they had arguably more talent than Lebanon but were a complete miss on and off the field. Kids were giving up on the field. Twice I seen kids coming off the field during a live play one of which was a turnover.

The so called HC doesn’t run the team. Look who is the OC and DC, Mike Woodward basically has the reins. Should be time to give him the title.

Not sure that'll ever happen. Stevens is a guy the principal can control. So until they're both gone, the problems are going to remain the same. Woodward seems like a good coach, but a program can't do well when you have a weak HC

WB had a full house and it wasn’t all Maryville fans/parents.

It does not help most schools are charging $8 now for a football game

Steven's should have never left AE.
