[Hoot Gibson]

Bill Musick deserves a great deal of credit for laying a solid foundation for Johnson Central's football program. He worked hard to develop the football programs at the middle school and at the elementary schools. Coach Musick left the program in far better shape than he found it.

Then came two JC head coaches who won 1 or 2 games during each of the next 3 seasons after Musick went to Fairview.

Jim Matney put Johnson Central's football program back on track in his first season as head coach and has taken the program to an entirely new level. Coach Matney would have a winning program in football and/or wrestling at any school whose administration provided him with control and support and Johnson Central is very lucky to have him at the helm.

It takes a real loser to find any serious fault with Jim Matney's performance as Johnson Central's head coach.
