Cloudland was really good at that time.

We were really good in 2000 but only average in 99.  The overall schedule was pretty weak.  Hampton was weaker back in them days as well as happy valley and johnson county.  We also played north, west, and south greene,  chuckey doak,  and unaka.  It was not a hard schedule to go 10-0 with especially in 99.  Harriman gave us a reality check in the first round.  In 2000, Mark Byrd was a freshman starting qb and we aquired Brandon Jones from Avery.  We also aquired Keith Buchanun and Allen Storie.  Big difference in the 99 and 2000 teams

    • It’s a small town and they are in the same school system. People talk and can pull up records on their personal devices. 
    • Sorry Barn. I wasn’t specific enough. It seems I’m always protecting the principal at 825. My interactions with her have been extremely positive, but very limited. With all the other stories being told, I’m confident there are other sides I am not aware of. Regardless, there are lots of decent people earning good checks up there. Maybe too good, which explains why no one is willing to speak up. My beef is with the poor communication among the athletic programs and with the administration. Seven years ago the poor communication led to my son missing graduation due to a sporting event that was planned months before. I chalked it up to the system being totally shocked that the baseball team made it out of their district, and our then AD was a football coach. Maybe they were surprised and did not plan appropriately. That was more palatable than they just didn’t give a crap. Déjà vu, seven years later, same thing. Different administration, but same result.  Maybe in seven more years, it will actually be “about the kids”. They should do better.
