Lets look at this from a totally different perspective.............

Remember Coach Chappell took over a program that won 1 game the year before he became head coach. In his first year was district runner up, yeah he only won 4 games but it was the right 4 games. Year one improvement. In his second year won 6 games and finished 3rd in the district Year two improvement.
In his third season the Colonels went 9-3 won the district and won a playoff game and gave Pulaski all they wanted before falling. Year 3 improvement. This season they were 7-5 tied for the district championship and won a playoff game. This with a team that had a ton of injuries and one pre season defection that was beyond what anyone could do. And they had 18 seniors.
The numbers are up and kids are working hard and getting better.

The Colonel numbers will be excellent again this year and they continue to work and get better. Those first couple of years Coach Chappell was still getting the right people (coaches) in the right places. The Colonels are not going to cheat and recruit, sorry they just do it the right way....hard work and developing kids.

What is clear to me is that the team and program is getting better, and will continue to get better. Am I happy we lost in the second round of the playoffs, absolutely not, do I think Coach Chappell was happy, absolutely not. Do I believe that the staff will continue to work towards the ultimate goal, without a doubt. They are the right guys for the job.

As for the Colonels next season, I think you will see continued improvement. The schedule will be flip flopped from last season and I think they will win a few games they let get away from them this year. Of course I know that everyone will ask what I am basing that on, well friends and neighbors I know things gut does not and probably wont until the first few weeks of the season.

On side note, there is no way RIUTG and Dougie are the same person. I do however believe that Dougie is not mentally strong enough to have his own opinion, and mimics what ever other folks are posting. RIUTG has his opinions and he is certainly welcome to them, but opinions are like certain parts of the anatomy, everyone has them and they usually smell like doggie doo doo.
