[the old WASP]

Coach Martin was a great coach for Allen Central and will hopefully have success at Pike Central. Everyone seems to think or believe that he was 'fired' from Allen Central; the fact is, and you can ask Coach Martin, he knew when he decided to leave the PE position at Allen Central to take another position (first Homebound, then PE at OU, and finally a Teacher at Betsy Layne) that he had made a BIG mistake. He knew that extracurricular positions (such as coaching) were decided on a yearly basis and that if someone within the school signed up and was qualified, he could / would be bumped (history repeated itself because it is understood that that is how Coach Johnny Martin was first hired as the AC Coach). It happened and Coach Martin Retired. Will the AC 'faithful' be wearing blue and orange? Will they be on the home side or the visitor side? Surely the AC 'faithful' will be there to cheer on the Allen Central boys. It would boggle the mind to believe that AC 'faithful' (Alumnus, faculty, staff, and people of the surrounding communities) would show up to cheer on the Hawks. If that is the case, then they are NOT AC 'faithful' but PC 'faithful'. Right? Coach Johnny Martin was a great coach and a loved coach at Allen Central - that should be his legacy...he is now Pike Central's coach. He has moved on, time for the AC 'faithful' to do the same.

you are right When it comes to basketball I will cheer for Johnny Martin. I hope he beats Mark 50 points
