you know for years I have watched high school sports. In that time I have gotten to see a lot of good players in several sports. the one team that I could never figure out was Knox Central they never won anything and I could never figure out why. They always had good players and seemed to have good coaches so it just never occured to me until last year as to why they couldn't win. Last year after the Bell County Knox Central football game i got to hear a lot of the panther fans and what they were saying was amazing. Instead of noticing that they were beaten by a better team they were all making excuses about the game not one fan did I hear say we just got beat by a better team. That is when I knew what the problem was at Knox Central instead of looking for ways to get better they were looking for excuses. Bell County has lost to Middlesboro two years in a row now we didn't like wished it had never happened but guess what we went home practiced and got better. I know that coach Mills leaving was hard on the fans and players but it is time to end your little pity party coach Mills knew that he couldn't win a championship at Knox and that is why he left. people leave jobs everyday for better jobs I even bet that some of you reading this have done the same. I can remember when coach Mills went to Knox you all thought he was the best thing since sliced bread but when he left to come to Bell he suddenly transformed into the wicked witch of the west. It is time you all know the truth he left Knox so he could win he got tired of people crying about the referees and that we got cheated. So now you know the people the fans and adminstration that backs them are the reason he left. watch and see how long the coach you have now stays if he gets an offer you think he can't see the writing on the wall. Coach Mills took you all farther in the playoffs than you all had ever been and if I'm not wrong you all haven't been as far since he left well sorry about that but maybe each of you needs to take a look in the mirror and examine yourselves and hopefully for your kids you will find that answer.
