Heard they had a nice banquet at deSha's for the girls team following the announcement of Piper being named the coach. The problem was : No staff member from last year's team was present, nor any of the parents even included. Sounds like a great way to recognize your team and to get great pictures. Guess there is a first time for everything.

You mean to tell me that a banquet was held without a coaching staff present?:confused:

Maybe Piper was there to hand out the awards today.

Go get John High.

 

He is a great coach and has been very successful in his career. My only complaint about him is if he can beat a team 130 to 5 that is exactly what he will do. No mercy in the man. Leaves his starters in for most of the game and presses like crazy.

 

He may have changed since he was in the 14th region, though.:idunno:

Not that this matters but, is John High retired? How old is he?

Why?

 

I sent you a PM

This was done during school time....WOW.

Maybe Piper was there to hand out the awards today.

 

 

Will someone please confirm that a banquet took place at DeShas today and no coaches were present?

if so poor decision made by administration!

Don't have anything against Coach Akin and sure hope she succeeds, but thought the Royals should have went with one of their own this time around, know that had two very qualified individuals but then again don't know about the teaching requirement aspects,etc. involved in selecting a Coach,maybe someone can enlighten me. Does anyone know Coach Akin's coaching history other than the one season at HC? Thanks

I agree... nothing against Coach Akin but last time they went out and got a coach....well that's why were discussing this now. Coach Butler has put in 10+ years as an assistant coach and deserves a chance. I can assure you all of this: if Coach Akin is just half as good as she made herself out to be today at the induction ceremony, the MC faithful have little to worry about.

 

Btw, no one has confirmed to me about taking instructional time out of the school day to go to DeShas sans coaching staff.

John is still in his 50's Bishop Brossart came close to hiring him two years ago
