I have been reading on this site forever and just started earlier today to post because I have been cooped up because of Covid. I guess I will step into this one. I thought coach Short done a great job and I have watched him for years. I really thought he had Betsy Layne on their way to compete for a region. They had a great record with a young team. I have been around basketball for 20 years and do not know of that young a team that has done that well in Floyd County. They did get upset in the district which happens sometimes. Nobody in Floyd County gets fired with that kind of record on their second year. Now, before all the Newsome guys go crazy, the season is young and there are alot of games to play. I just think its sad that they have to keep bringing up Brad Short and Gary Keithley. Those guys are gone and no matter how bad you talk about them that don't make you any better. Betsy Layne will and should get to the region this year just like they should with any coach. I actually think that they have a chance to win the region. It is about the Jims and Joes and not the x's and o's so much. Politics happen and people need to move on with both sides. Newsome got a really good team handed to him, probably the best I have seen in Floyd County with the most potential. They should compete for the region this year or next. If not, that would be a huge let down. They are 1-3 now which is not good but they have a whole lot of potential. I think that there are alot of keyboard warriors on these Betsy Layne threads but if everyone takes a step back and has an unbiased point of veiw they would agree with me. Just my opinion and I have a feeling this could go on forever.
