Just telling it how it is, like i do in the basketball forum. Central has had a line of bad coaching, and finally got one that is good. In middle school we dominated every team around here, and in high school they would beat us. Doesnt make much sense really, when ya blow the same kids out in middle school and then they whip ya in high school. The biggest disappoint ive ever had was in the 99 football season. Bill Musick had the most talented team he ever coached and never made it past the first round of the playoff's. Josh Banks, Shannon Price, and Stephan Jerich in the backfield. Casey Music at qb, Heath Castle at reciever, and a HUGE oline lead by Jesse Peck. I can only imagine if Matney would have coached that bunch how good they could have been

Don't think coaching was the issue of this team. That season was a big disappointment. Casey Music didn't start the year at QB, senior Aaron Davis did. Casey won the job at the Apple Bowl that year when Paintsville romped us 27-0. The issue that year was there is no I in team, everyone was out for themselves and worried about stats.

Just look at what happen the following year after all those I's graduated. Just so you know PANTHERBLITZ, JCHS was 11-1 the following season, winning the lone district title in school history and they were in 4A. I would consider that a pretty good team along with 1997 team which went 9-2 losing at Bell Co. in the second round of the playoffs. Both of these teams IMHO, were better than last year's team.
