Great combo pack. I guarantee you they will get every ounce of talent they can from every player. These guys know the game and I'm so glad to see an alumni like Rocky take over the HC position.  I'm excited to see what happens up there now. I guarantee you numbers will rise very fast up there. I'd say with in a couple years they will be very competitive again.

Any word on if Vic is staying or going. I know it’s been said both ways several times during the season.

He sure was good back in the day. Tough as nails. He’s been on the staff for awhile now.

I heard some talk that he’s ready to retire in this state and go out of state and that it’s not a matter of if he goes.. it’s just a matter of when. That could be now or a year from now is what I’ve heard.

To be honest I hear alot of different things at times. but this is one subject that I guess only Vic himself is keeping to himself. If anyone else knows it's some trusted friends for sure. Do I think I know what is going to happen? yes, but am I positive? No.  I looked at the roster from the team this week and I think I counted about 10 guys who played some last year that will make a huge impact this year. I think we have 3 or 4 young guys that are going to be studs the next 2-3 years. Could that be a factor in his decision? I know the west is loaded, but get to the championship game and anything can happen. Ask Brentwood Academy and South Pittsburg.

Gotcha. I know it’s not a certainty until it happens, just wasn’t sure if anything had been announced yet. After the season is over is usually when a planned move like that is made. I hadn’t heard one way or the other.

I’d say either way SP will continue to be SP.

I wasn’t insinuating you did. I was just saying. One way or the other I think it will work out fine.

Son is a freshman and he says they are already working hard I think back in wt room. He says players know that Coach Grider May come back and if he doesn’t Coach Wagner is gonna be the coach. So it is what it is. Got some good ones coming back and some good young ones coming up. I wonder when they are gonna release schedule? Anyone know?

This should be a good hire for them. He was a good football player in the day and I think that the kids will respond well to him. I believe he may be just the guy to get the kids to come out and play.
