  1. Sugardaddy, what is your beef with Bo Queen, he has never, ever as long as I have known him and officiated with him not called the game right down the middle of the line, period. We all make mistakes and miss calls but I can guarantee you we don't miss them on purpose and we feel just as bad about a blown call as the fans that think we cheated them, so please don't insinuate that he or any other ref that I personally know would do anything of the sort of thing insinuated, we are in it to give something back to the sport we love, to give the kids a far shot and we could care less who wins as long as they have a fair playing field/court:thumb: and that is just the truth...
  2. That is what I mean, this year is the start of the future outsider, don't you think???
  3. BigDaddy, I like your positive attitude, that shows me that the GCHS staff at the school is serious about what we need done and I for one appreciate that very much, count on my commitment to do whatever it takes to assist.
  4. I was told that the strength coach will be involved by then, that is what we are hoping will happen.
  5. I will be at the game Friday night with my orange and black on (for that night and anytime the Rams are playing and not playing against my son, lol) you can count on that Ram... :thumb:
  6. Raceland has a first class program all the way around, one to be emulated for sure.
  7. 39 players returning with a really good junior class coming in, they dominated at the Freshman level and only lost to Ashland when they were Freshman in JV and Freshman ball, a lot of talent if they stay together and that will all depend on our coach that we bring into GCHS, I really think the future is very bright. The really good thing is there are a lot of great athletes walking the halls at GCHS too and the right coach will bring them out too.
  8. No it's not ahead of us it is called progress and myself and a couple of other parents will volunteer their time to pick up the kids.
  9. Yes, usually last period but that may change when the new strength coach gets on board.
  10. I agree, the cop out remark was made toward the excuse of all the other teams around us having a loosing record, that is a cop out..
  11. Yes they are in the mix and the sophomores, they are going head to head with the varsity players, they are on the JV squad but Rister and Lyle are making the play a lot more physical on the varsity players, they are going at it in practice, hard...
  12. Just found out that GCHS has ordered $45,000 in new weight room equipment and going to move it from it's current location and turn that facility into a varsity locker room and also at the next BOE meeting I think $27,000 is going to get approved to put new sprinklers on the field, as well as adding a new crown, and putting Bermuda grass on the field, I would personally like to see turf but we have a plan for that too. We are going to work on the other facilities as well, bleachers, etc, I was also told that GCHS is hiring a strength coach if they haven't already for the entire athletic program... When we get our head coach he will also have input in what he wants for his facilities, Matt and Chris are going to be completely supportive of whomever they hire. They are going to be aggressive in their search, we will hear more rumors about folks being contacted but just because they have been contacted doesn't mean anything is official or promised to them. They want a strong pool of applicants to interview. All you coaches out there that are reading this thread, if you think you can make a positive difference and want to turn a program around, well right now is the time, the support will be there, the BOE will be behind you, times are changing at GCHS, apply for this position. We will also be giving kids rides to and from practice every day so if a kid wants to play he will have a ride.
  13. That is a cop out and I don't buy it, there is no reason not to have a winning tradition, why do you think Raceland and Russell do, because kids that want to play at a winning tradition go and play there. If we keep this attitude then we will continue to have a 41% winning percentage...
  14. I dropped in to practice to pick up the boy and they had put another 75 minutes on the clock, Fraley was working their tails off, love it, challenging them hard, I mean that is what we need at GCHS...
  15. That's what we need Bigdaddy, plain and simple, he needs to come in and say this is my team, this is the way it is going to be, the first time someone says something to him about playing time, he needs to tell them to take their kid and hit the road, no matter who it is, that is what needs to happen.:thumb:
  16. The BOE has told me they have the money and will vote to give it to the program if asked and there is justification behind it and all they need to do is look. We need someone that will come in and take charge and have complete control over the program, from the JFL all the way up the chain and have FULL support of the Admin, not 3.5 years and then tell them see you later, not just a hand full of assistants paid, give him as many as he needs and wants, need the school's grounds crew to do work on the field, a new facility with turf (bermuda is good for somewhere more south) the entire program needs an overhaul and it is going to take a strong disciplinarian with a very strong football background to get the job done. I would venture to say that while we have heard some good names of coaches on this post but I would bet we have not even heard the name of the person that gets the job as of yet...
  17. They will be able to compete with those two this year as the season builds but they are going to have to really improve to be able to beat Elliot, I have seen them play up close and personal, they are one of the best teams in the state, no doubt, now saying that I do believe that GCHS will eventually be the team to beat in the 16th, maybe not this year but watch out the next two...
  18. Greg is a friend of mine too, great post Doc, this type of thing is the Exact reason GCHS football is in the shape it is in today...:irked:
  19. The talent is there, strong sophomore class and some young players coming up always through the JFL (we have great coaches at that level for the most part), however because of the program's issues through the years some of that talent has gone to other schools in the county. The right person comes in and gets all the talent in the school to come out there is most definitely potential. There were a lot of athletes walking the halls during football season.
  20. There are more coaches than those mentioned interested in the position. When the playoffs are over, they will start coming out if our admin gives the coach all the support needed to bring this program where it should be...
