Is it the same coach they’ve had for last few yrs?

yes same as last year...there is no real experience in the coaching tree there.

Lets not forget, SHS has another feeder as well. 3 years after almost having to shut down the program, the program at Coopertown has stabilized. Coach Parton is solid, hopefully they can keep him around. They can move to 4-1 in the county with a win at WHH Thursday. They should only improve in the coming years provided the county can provide after school transportation for the kids coming from Springfield.

I’m very interested in seeing what’s going to happen with the Springfield kids. I don’t see any way around building another middle school for Springfield with all the growth going on all over the county

we already cant get kids to school now...much less trying to bus everyone all over the county. In my opinion if the wanted an IA school they should have built one

100% truth^!!! The county leaders have always been good about buying the cart before the horse.

Barring we continue to have most everyone back this week, I see springfield a 2-3 score favorite. I’ve been most impressed with the defense this year playing lights out no matter how many players are missing. Hope this streak continues on in this game.

Hmmm...Not sure what’s going on there. Good thing the HS is ran the right way

for years the High School Coaches mowed, painted and maintained Boyce Smith. The current Middle School coaches may not have that expertise

When I first heard about the phasing out of Springfield Middle and students being bused to other schools , my first thought was what will happen with athletics there? Surely an activity bus will be provided for the students who will have no way to and from practice. I know I have seen many of the players walking home after practice from the Springfield Middle School. I hope this is being looked into , if not it will be unfair for kids to participate in sports because of transportation issues and would be a huge loss  to  the high school athletic programs, while it’s great that Coopertown Middle program is having great success , I just hope the current SMS students will be part of the athletic programs there in spite of the transportation issues that will follow being bused 7 miles outside of Springfield. Both schools have been a plus for SHS. If a lot these kids get left out of athletics it would be a disgrace and SHS athletics would be greatly affected by this move. I’m just hoping this has been looked into.
