I'm sure it wont always be the case, but man I love how the RPI system worked so well this year.
It really gave the best teams a chance to play.
Hopefully JC can bring another title home.

Matney has proven you can take a loser and turn it into a winner.
No other program has any excuses for not turning it around.

This is the post of the year. Just a few short years ago Johnson Central would sometimes struggle to beat middle of the road 1A teams. You hear people who are from schools and teams who are bad or mediocre every year saying things like "no one can win here" or "we just don't have the athletes at this school" and many others. People take up for mediocre coaches and say "he's doing the best anyone could do here" but that is plain garbage. When it comes to any sports team you get exactly what you put in and the success of your team is a direct reflection of the coaching worth. A good coach who knows what he is doing and is a leader can come in, surround himself with good people from youth league on up to his own staff and change everyone's outlook and turn any team and program anywhere unto a competitive winner. I remember back in the late 80's people made those same excuses for my team the Lawrence County Bulldogs. But then in the early 90's all it took was the right head coach making the right moves and hires and next thing you know the Bulldogs went on a legendary run through the full decade of the 90's till about 2003 or 2004 with more wins and undefeated seasons than any team in the mountains during that 14 year period.
