To begin with the loss of Norman is a positive thing for this team. Had it not been for A. Hampton and M. Roberts and a few other volunteer "coaches" there would have been nothing. As far as QB there are a couple younger kids that could have played that position better all along. His kid could contribute to the team prob more so with him out as coach but not a QB. Plenty young kids to fill those shoes though. The only person who has continued to see this program through all the turmoil from beginning to end has been A. Hampton. He continues to work with the players although politics will prob not give him a fair shot. He deserves this chance and the boys deserve to have him. They have never been stronger or more enthusiastic (sp) but that will burst like a bubble if the BOE goes for an outsider AGAIN !!!! Valley will not lose any key players no matter who the coach because these boys are VALLEY players and want to play for their school and not going to leave because of a coach. If they made it through the crap with Norman they are in for the long haul.
