This will be an interesting coaching hire. With the wrong hire they very well could start to slide again after this current group is gone. 

It’s not like they’ve rose to the occasion or done anything with the current group. They barely beat a rebuilding Whitley team and beat up on a lot of bad to mediocre teams last year.

Freshmen and sophomore dominated teams aren't winning district, region, or state titles, so I am not really sure what the expectations were for this year.. It doesn't matter how good they were in Middle School. You just don't see that at the varsity level. The true measure will be what they do as juniors and seniors.

When the majority of the sophomores should be juniors then there’s no difference about them being competitive. That’s not a knock on holdbacks it’s just saying they’re not true aged sophomores. The expectation should’ve been second in district. They had the talent to beat Pulaski with all the injuries they had this year and still got ran.

Every school that's any good in football is probably going to have several hold backs at this point. That's not the advantage it used to be, especially in the mountain area because its a level playing field everywhere. If the talent is there, then the Jags should be able to make some noise in the district the next two years. I'd be more concerned if they are that good and not competing better against Pulaski County down the road than them coming up a little short as sophomores. Either way, good luck! That football program has sure came a long way over the years.
