With the Greens, we really only lost the player. The coaches were mediocre for the past 10 years. As I stated early, people of good character, but not great coaches.

Millett has not withdrawn. He may very well do so, but he hasn't yet.

Frazier is a good kid. I don't want to say anything bad about him. If he isn't already throwing right now, he wouldn't have played catcher at Middlesboro next year. His arm was less than healthy (by a longshot) at the end of the year by his own admission. He never quite understood the necessity to rehab through specificity. I hope he has learned in that regard. He will be an asset to their football program though.

How much worse can Brock get hurt? It is my understanding that he already has a torn rotator cuff and a torn labrum. He played the entire baseball season with that. Obviously, I wish he would have had it repaired for recruiting purposes but the kid is a warrior. My understanding is if he gets injured early, he will still have plenty of time (he needs 5 months) to get back for baseball. Remember, even if he can barely throw, that matches what he was able to do this year. We had some kids with half the injury that Jake has that couldn't handle the pain and wouldn't dare gut through it like Jake has. I wish the best for him and I'd hope you would to. But I'm betting you're hoping for a injury so that you can get on the message boards and say "told you so".

I know the scuttle butt around Russell's departure. There were other things that aided his move. However, if you think he wouldn't have left a perfect teaching/coaching situation for administration/significantly higher pay at the high school in which he graduated from, then you need to wake up.

You've been trying to rock the boat at MHS for some time now. Doesn't it ever get old?

Frazier hurt his back in the Union/Tn game in the snow which affected his throwing it was not the previous injury. He started at catcher the Friday night before the district tournament and did an outstanding job. He never saw the field again. Through his own admission, he told his dad that he was done. The coaches NEVER worked with him in bringing him back from the back injury, they threw him to the side. The rehabilitation that he did came from Donnie Grigsby. That's a FACT.

You better check in on how long it takes to recover from what's about to happen to Brock. It's a shame that no one cares enough about him to get his shoulder fixed, coaches that is.

Word is on the street that Millett did not want to play for the baseball coaches and that he wanted to leave. His dad is still teaching in Middlesboro but Millett is going to Knoxville.

Debbie Green may be from Harlan, but her husband is from Middlesboro. I don't think the reason the Green's left were for better facilities.
The 12-16 jobs available in Middlesboro would not be available if they were happy where they were working. Can you explain why so many jobs in a small city school district are open? I can. The administration.
