Welcome to WBHS Coach Robert Reeves

[etcoach]

I am excited for Coach Reeves to begin his head coaching tenure at WBHS.  He was an assistant here in the late 90s and early 2000s when I arrived and WB was a constant playoff team.  He worked under Steve Fickert, Earl Macmahan, John Reid, Ronnie Phelps, and Scott Meadows during this time.  Even with all the turnover then, he remained loyal and stayed on staff even after some unfortunate events.  He eventually went to Ga and worked with John Reid again before having to move back to East Tennessee for family reasons.  He took over a struggling Karns program and lasted 4 years there before being let go.  He then went and worked under Coach Hammontree for several years at HHS and had success when they were in 5A.  He was also an assistant principal and got tired of all that and wanted back in the classroom so we got him back over here.  He is a phenomenal teacher and we were excited to have him at WBHS back in the classroom. 

As far as the last two weeks were concerned he was not a lock during the process as there were some impressive folks who we interviewed who got our attention for sure.  However, this time we chose to stay with someone who understands this place and the challenges it presents.  He is a guy with high energy and passion.  He will do everything he can to build WB back to where it was when he was here 15-20 years ago.....From the youth levels all the way up.  And, like I said in the introduction yesterday "if you can't root for Coach Reeves, then who can you root for?" 

 

Finally....the WORD OF THE DAY is MYSTERIES

I don't want folks sending me screenshots of Coacht making fun of MR.REEVES.

 

hahahha.....I had to participate

Congrats and best of luck to the new ball coach! I look forward to more great football games in LA. It has been too long.

Great to see someone come out and address the public and hope we see more. Love to see this program be competitive as it was in 2007. It will be a long road but worth the fight. Discipline is the main key to winning and if Robert can change that in these kids that battle is more than half won.

Reeves is a good one. He will do good for Billy Blount. I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.
