In all honesty I think the problem isn't the coaches, facilities or anything like that, I think its the kids. Powell has been down for a little while, and a lot of kids when the going gets tough they quit. It seems to me like they don't take enough pride in their school by getting out there and helping turn things around. If the fortune of the team started to get on an upswing then more kids would come out, but until then most will sit back and let the ones that want to make a difference do the work, and they will just criticize. I, for one, am proud of any kid that plays football or any other sport at a school where they don't have a good winning tradition because they have the guts to get out there and do something most people pass up on. High school football is like nothing else. There is no greater amount of pride that a kid can have, going out under the lights, putting on their school colors, representing their school and the community in which they have grew up in. Just my two cents.
