I understand that. They have talent. And plenty of it. They have no coaching and the school does nothing to try to help in that area. They go through everything that they can with the "cheap" option. With coaching that would help these boys improve and learn, kids like Hurley, Sneed, and Prater could play college ball somewhere nice for sure. But with the coaching that they have, these kids are getting the bad end of the deal. If this team was under Coach Hagey from Belfry, I see them doing MUCH better. But like I said, the school won't ever put effort into athletic programs.

I don't know much about the limit on games? What's the set number for games in a season? The coach last year stated that he scheduled all that he could possibly schedule. I'm guessing that was a lie.... Just another thing to prove he's not the coach that these boys need. Coaches at Phelps are ALL about that extra cash for coaching. They're not actually in it for the kids and the wins for the program.

Unless it has changed in the last couple years the limit is 35 or 36 regular season games. That doesn't count what you play in post season. Most coaches at descent programs will schedule around 40 just in case of rain outs. For example, Johnson Central ended up playing 42 games last year, 7 of those were post season games.
