I sure hope they don't run off Coach Hood. That would be a dumb mistake. He has proven that he can take a team to the finals and not too many small county coaches can say that. It's hard to keep a good coach nowadays. It's even harder to hire a new coach to take his place. They could find another coach to replace him, but it would set the program back a couple of years. The game today is dominated by teams with numbers. Trinity, Highlands, and Bowling Green all have more than 90 players on the team and might play 30-40 kids on any given night. If Allen County can get their little league and middle school teams excited about playing for the Patriots, they will be just fine, especially if they can be patient and stick with Hood.
