I don't think anyone is putting blame on the players, but the coaching staff needs to learn tact, respect, and class. I have a friend in Phelps who used to say they had never played Pikeville that they did not see fresh jerseys after half time. This is not being cute, this is taking the game seriously. He knew that they were not competitive against the panthers, but also knew that they could expect to at least not have the score run up on them. This is not the case now. Howard, McNamee, Allara, Mayo, and even Jackson never took pride in destroying a team that was obviously inferior, they used the second half to gain much-needed game time experience for the second string and even the third string. That is how you win a ball game and BUILD A PROGRAM at the same time. Isn't that the objective here? REBUILD the panther football program, not run it up on weaker district opponents? What are you really proving?
