That's the thing kids don't want to play. We haven't had a peewee team in 4 yrs because if your a good player in 6th grade the jr high gets you. My first year as commissioner we had only 2 teams outda

Maybe they've found something that works.  They've lost some pretty lopsided games to teams we can play with. 

I’m not sure if they have found anything or not lol but that was the only thing that looked ok. I thought R2 would beat R1 I’m not sure after watching the game Friday night. Cland might make it to round 2.

I'm pretty sure now that the school is gonna stay open.  There's been talk of resurfacing the field and upgrading the facility.  Biggest thing is to get a healthy youth club with renewed interest in the game.  The community needs more good parents who will encourage their boys to play.  This year we had only 3 teams for ages 5 thru 12.  We've got to get the tough reputation back.

That's the thing kids don't want to play. We haven't had a peewee team in 4 yrs because if your a good player in 6th grade the jr high gets you. My first year as commissioner we had only 2 teams outdated equipment and very little money each year numbers have improved but only because I advertise sign ups in Avery county like crazy. If you take Avery kids away youth club football folds and that's a shame because we have PLENTY of money top notch equipment and good coaches year after year. It also doesn't help that most parents bash coaches in front of the kids winning or losing. When all the kids hear is negativity at home about football and coaches they are not going to buy in period. We have 2 out of 3 teams in the playoffs this year both of which should win it all. In 4 yrs of being commissioner we've had atleast 1 championship appearance every year with multiple teams making the playoffs every year. The youth club is as healthy as its gonna get this day and time the success in the youth is there. I have 15-20 Championship trophies in the football room because the trophy case at the elementary can't hold anymore.

It's not just Cloudland struggling with numbers science hill only has 1 team in each division when I played they had 3 teams in every division. We actually have more 5-6 yr olds than they do and the exact same number of 9-10 yrs olds. The WJAL only has 4 peewee teams total this year and that's science hill bristol happy valley and Hampton. We are consistently beating the likes of Greeneville the toppers Bristol and elizabethton.

Also a comparison and I'm not saying this with hateful intentions at all but Hampton has 4 teams as of last week all 4 of those teams combined wins = 1. 

Cloudlands Youth club has pretty much always been one of the best in the County,or even league. Hampton does good in Basketball but football has always been lacking. For a really small school, no way to ask for more. I hear they have some really good teams this year.

Kids around here don't seem to get into football until their high school years...I've had some good FB teams in youth club in the past but A LOT of very good basketball teams. It's strange!        Heck, Coby's bunch never won a football game from kindergarten thru 7th grade LOL

Seems the middle school has had some success tho

We are loaded. The 7-8 team has the 3 best backs in the league but the sad truth is it's about a 10% chance they will attend cloudland highschool and I'm not knocking that decision at all but you can't help to think what if we got to keep all the talent that goes through the youth club losing kids like LJ Corey Cade Dalton Mitchell is devastating to a cloudland or Hampton.

Lost a couple of good linemen to Avery a few years back also. Small schools can't get by losing kids to nearby schools.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.

      This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.

      Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.

      It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.

      That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.
