I just hope Casey can keep moving in the right direction, no matter who they hire. The program has made progress and hate to see them go backward.

Yes sir. I felt that way about McCreary Central a few years ago. And I think it was Wayne county that was right at our level many years ago, probably in the early 2000's. Then Wayne gets a hell of a coach in Shawn Thompson (a guy that could get a 50 pound 'little person' to run through a 2 layer brick wall) and they were winning games, and making playoff runs, then making a championship game. Wayne has stayed at least at a mid level ever since, and were still pretty good this year. I mean 2A and 4A are KILLERS. Honestly 3A is about the only place you might have a chance if you're a school who is in that mid-tier, or in the 'lower-tier but competitive tier'. I really feel Casey has a chance to either make a move that sustains it's mid-level 3A status, or it goes on a spiral of hiring coach after coach. In my opinion if a coach can just keep the numbers up, and survive a season or two of losing, but maintain a pride in youth league that keeps getting talented kids to come out. I'm getting old, lol, and when my kid and my friend's kids graduate, I may be ready to hit the road for the game of the week. I love our kids but I can find other ways to support them.
