[cougarnation]

I am so sick of cougarpride down grading our boys. Really if you support them so much why do you keep posting this stuff? My kid plays on the hill, and believe you me those kids read all of this stuff. Bashing the coaching staff is not getting anyone anywhere. To comment on the weight lifting thing. As a parent I personally think it is ridiculous to get on here and say that you have been on the hill 3 times to see if they are lifting. Really!! Do you have any idea how hard it is for some of those kids even to get a ride home? unlike you not everyone lives in whitesburg! Harlan county runs buses for every sport they have! Transportation is a huge issue with all of the sports at LCC! How many kids do you think would come out if they didn't have to worry about that one big aspect! When I went to whitesburg high school we had the jacket wagon ask any old timer about that! Most will tell you if it weren't for that they would have never played a sport.

Everyone misses the Howards up there. Hillard had relationships with all the boys! Whitaker is alot different in all of his approaches with these kids. Most people do not like change, but it can be a good thing.We are used to seeing just one style of football and he comes in and changes things everyone goes all to pieces. I have personally never even talked with any of the coaches and honestly I don't want to. My time in high school sports is long gone. As long as he treats all the kids the same that is all I care about! bashing him 24/7 is getting no where.I want these kids to come in with positive attitudes all this negativity is bringing the whole team down.

We have several Juniors this year that are stepping up and working really hard and to say that no one lifts is garbage. I get sick of people that have came to 2 or 3 games the whole season and then just bashes everything that has been done.Either support these kids or just stop watching them all together! Bashing everything that is done is hurting our boys. Whether Whitaker is here for 2 more years or for 2 more days those boys are who you are hurting!!!
