Why is Taylor County so bad relative to their competition?

-Is there is feeder program in place there locally that preps kids for Middle School football?
-Is there a stength and conditioning program that has produced 8 or 10 kids with 300 plus bench presses?
-Are there other sports in the school that attract and keep the best athletes?

Has to be some explanations that help to explain why this is the case.

1. There is a community football program as well as a program that Coach Cotton started to prep TC kids for their MS.

2. Lack of a legit strength and conditioning program is obvious even though if you ask the players, they would tell you that they do have a weight program, but obvioulsy, it is one that is not working. A strength coach is needed to oversee nothing but the strength and conditioning aspect.

3. They had the kids out last season, just not prepared to compete physically or fundementally. There is not another program @ the school that has better athletes, most play Football and another sport.

The line play for TCHS was the worst I have seen in years and they had no chance offensively. The kids were not physically prepared to compete and showed a total lack of knowledge of fundementals. There is not a certain person to blame for these issues, but Coach Cotton was the scapegoat IMO.
