Who is going to be the new coach at Whitley?
Dietpepsidrinker Wrote:One thing that WC has to overcome is the lack of community support. Corbin and Williamsburg have great support win, lose or draw. It means something to their communities, not that it does not matter to a certain segment of WC but when you go to games at the other schools in the county you see total support from the young and old. At WC games you see a few students, parents and a few people not directly associated with the school or team. In most cases, the people still feel there pride to their communities like Boston, Pleasant View, Woodbine, Rockholds, Poplar Creek, etc. Even when you hear the kids talk you can hear stories of their glory days in basketball or football at their respective elementary schools. At Corbin and Williamsburg, all the kids are in the same school their whole lives and they cultivate that pride in their school. Notice the first part of cultivate.....you almost have to get that type of support...win lose or draw.

That's a problem with almost every county school in the state.
As you said, these kids are spread out over one of the biggest counties land wise in the state. While city schools grow up with each other the entire way, you have county schools who are arch enemies until they come together in middle school and theres always grudges there.
The only way for a county school to get a lot of community support is to win.
