They are going to be realigned to 4A next year with a district that consists of Franklin-Simpson, Warren East, Logan County, and Russell County. They will no longer play Bowling Green. This is huge because BG hasn't just beaten teams in thier district, they've demoralized them. I think that they should schedule some winnable games, at least for a year or two, to get some confidence in their kids, and get more kids out.

I grew up in this area and ACS had some decent teams, but they have had numerous coaches there over a short amount of time. Bradley Hood, nephew to the great coach Joe Hood, has been there for a couple of years. Having a coach there for several years that helps to establish a winning attitude is important, ask Ben Bruni at Warren East. Good luck coach Hood.

There is no easy fix, but the realignment should help to build confidence, at that will go along way in building this team.

Allen took leaps and bounds under coach Hood who seems to really know how to make kids believe in what he is selling. He came into games this year with solid game plans and did a nice job of handling his first year as the HC. Allen will need another year to catch up with East, just because of athleticism, and Franklin Simpsion will always be Franklin. But there is no doubt in my mind that Coach Hood can direct his team to a 2nd place finish in the district if either East or FS takes them lightly. Allen is headed in the right direction, it's just a matter of will the administration allow Coach Hood to make that place into a consistant winner.
