I have talked to a friend of mine that had a daughter play for Jenkins and graduated in 2012 and went on and played for upike for a couple of years here is his take . Inrollment is down and getting worse but no different than any other school in that area. They are singal A to start with . He said the only feeder program that any of the schools ever had in that area was the little league that really went away several years ago . He also said coach Damron never had anything to do with . He said the last of the the girls that played little league graduated last year he thought. He gave a lot of credit to the little league coaches . He also told me that Jenkins has had success throughout the years solely because of the pitchers coach Damron has had , Rachel Thacker , Brook Webb , Kayla Stambo , Caitlynn Estivez and they were all coached by someone else other than her . I hope I got the names right . Now back to my point Coach Shirley Beard is and has been the best girls coach around that area . Jenkins graduating 8 seniors with a junior pitcher that have played for coach Damron for that long Tells me enrollment and the lack of a feeder program wasn't the problem this year . The problems you mentioned didn't seem to hurt the basketball program this year . i think it's time to give some credit to the programs that have continue to improve witch is what we started talking about earlier in the post and the point I was trying to make .
