About what?Well… what did we learn?
We learned Cherokee CAN beat them on a dry field. Buy you knew that already, remember last week?About what?
Loraine was not the same team as last year. We learned the team with the better athletes won this year's game.We learned Cherokee CAN beat them on a dry field. Buy you knew that already, remember last week?
I have to agree with sixmanfan2007 on this one. Without those 5 Seniors they had last year this was definitely a different Loraine team. However, losing this years Senior class is going to make Loraine look a whole lot different next year.Loraine was not the same team as last year. We learned the team with the better athletes won this year's game.
all I said was as they fumbled the ball a few times during the game with Zephyr, probably because it was very wet, and that’s it.We learned Cherokee CAN beat them on a dry field. Buy you knew that already, remember last week?
I disagree. We learned the team with the better coaching won.Loraine was not the same team as last year. We learned the team with the better athletes won this year's game.
Maybe you should apply. I hear there are school board members who want to fire the coa ch in Loraine so you polish up your resume and get it in.I disagree. We learned the team with the better coaching won.
In the words of Deion Sanders - "I AIN'T HARD TO FIND!"I disagree. We learned the team with the better coaching won.
Further, I know for a fact that our school district is always on the look out for quality employees with degrees and state certifications.Maybe you should apply. I hear there are school board members who want to fire the coa ch in Loraine so you polish up your resume and get it in.
The same is true for Cherokee. Remember that they lost five strong seniors. Looks like high-quality coaching and some kids with a lot of heart if you ask me.Loraine was not the same team as last year. We learned the team with the better athletes won this year's game.
Cherokee lost 5 as well.I have to agree with sixmanfan2007 on this one. Without those 5 Seniors they had last year this was definitely a different Loraine team. However, losing this years Senior class is going to make Loraine look a whole lot different next year.
4 of Loraine's 5 were first team all state and the 5th was second team all state.Cherokee lost 5 as well.
Well said coachI will second that and add to it Coach Popham. If board members would like to terminate coaches or employees of ANY school it would not be done on this type of forum. If any board member is found doing so, they might want to read up about a certain volleyball coach from Amarillo having to deal with board member issues, it's public record and the papers covered it well.
Furthermore, any future candidate looking for employment or just simply curious that reads these posts, as most Coaches do, forms opinions of the school's mentioned, They size up the attitudes of the fans, parents, coaches, or vocal board members of that said school. If looking for a job they can also look up the pay for that school, that is also a public record, to see if it would be worth seeking employment there. Sometimes, if still interested, they even reach out to the current AD, head coach, or other members of the staff to find out if future employment may be available and why. After they gather all of their information they can then make a decision on whether or not that school is worth applying too. So you see, running a coach down on a public forum can have adverse effects for future employment for your school.
When mudslingers get involved on a public forum a lot of future employees remember that school and simply never apply. Other coaches just sit and wonder how a coach can have that thick of skin. Administrators from other schools not even involved can have this brought to their attention and then those administrators understand why they received that coach's resume back in September.
The sad thing is there are plenty of jobs out there every year for coaches, so please don't threaten a coach with their job on a public forum. I don't think they work countless hours a week to simply lose games on Fridays just so you can vent. I know for a fact that high school athletes read this stuff so as adults we should all stay a little more classy.
Finally, Congrats to the teams that are still playing and have a great time in the playoffs! Remember to always win with class, lose with class.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
