Thank your local board member and superintendent for what is happening at PC. You had a great coach but because he was an EM fan he was let go. It's hard for me to believe the BOE motto of "nothing but the kids". The decision they are make are not based on what's best for the kids. Also, I think it is time for your principal to stand up for what it right. Coaching is a principal decision.

wasnt right when it was done to Tussey either, just an FYI. WIth the addition of that Butcher was 90% gone any how due to his wife losing her job. If I was you I wouldnt place much blame on David Rowe, trust me he did not want Butcher to leave with my past converstaions with him. Just another addition here since we are talking about how great he was. Yes he did take those girls to three staright regional chamionships, but lets make this aware to he only won one game. Not to mention Tussey had made the previous 3 before him and won one as well. Now the argument is going to be made as well that he led them to the final four of the state tournament. However, lets make this aware to those girls out on the floor did not need much coaching considering they had played together their enitre lifes. Now im not taking anything way from Butcher he was a great guy and a pretty good coach. However, the fact of how he coached during the regional tournament last season not making any adjustments really made me question how GREAT he really was. Then I look at his record this year, yes he has a youthful team, however he is still in the same situation he had at Pike Central those girls are very talented and have played together just as long. However, his record does not mirror his past achievements. Dont kill me BleedsBlue.

Now for what is wrong with them at this very moment. through out these girls carriers they have for the most part been in the shadows of Lowe and Ratliff, not to mention the great talent while they were freshman and grade schoolers. Now it is them, they do not have that outside threat now since Kayla Ratliff transfered and Haleys graduation two years ago. They now mainly rely on AD down low in which teams can key on and double down on her. Gary is a young coach and he is working on his coaching skills as the season goes along just as the girls are learning his system. It is going to take more than likely untill the end of regular season for this bunch to start clicking on all cyclinders. Dont count them out come March because they could up set any team in this region. Right now these girls and Gary just need the PC communities support, encourgament through words and gift bags and such to show that we all believe in them. Show them that we love this team and this school. We are all one and we need to stop pointing fingers, we are stronger in numbers the fans help strengthen the foundation. BELIEVE IN GARY AND BELIEVE IN THE GIRLS!!!!!!!!!
