Old Round Ball

How about D1 regionals?

Lee High may be coming available if you are looking for something short turn. Just saying.

Does anyone have the brackets for region yet as far as which district is seeded where. 1D is at SWCC and 2D @ UVA- Wise it's all I have heard so far.

Hate to dig up a dead horse but looks like the more things change the more they stay the same. Seems Lee has returned to their old selves. Has this coach ran out of magic in his mini wand or what? The killer of the midway has lost his stream.

WOW Lee High from back to back region champs to 0-10? What causes such a sharp decline?

Carter has been one of the coaches at Lee. His daughter had a pretty good career at Rye Cove, another kid that could have stared at Lee. You could probably field a team in any sport from the kids that could/should have played at Lee and beat what they have had. With the success that Thomas Walker has had the last several years I am surprised that have not razzed the coaching ranks down there. No they have not won any state championships but the programs have been in the playoffs translates to more games there kids get to play in. Any idea how the parents feel about the kids getting beat like that do? I know that the football team went 0for how about the other fall sports this year? How about the gate/attendance for games? I know the last time I was down there for game it was fairly packed.

Lee High has gotten their reputation honestly since it's start! Who in their right mind that is any good at to their game would want to coach at Lee? With the average life span of two years as a football coach and not much more in any sport except maybe baseball (whose coaches can't win any games either but somehow keeps his job, they do not seem to care) the only ones that will take the job are losers or new hopefuls. How many athletes attend other schools to get away from that stigma? Politics? You got rid of a coach that took the football team to the playoffs two years in a row for one that destroyed the program in three years because of his connections to board members. Don't get on here and defend the garbage! Lee High gets the negativity it deserves! If I lived in Lee County I would leave too!

Yes that seems to be the case. It has always thought to be Pennington High School extended. Even the school board leans that way from what my Lee County friends tell me. Three members from the Pennington Gap area one from Jonesville. The fifth member he says has changed complete control of Thomas Walker. Some people cannot move on!

I would agree with you on changing the board. This one in particular has had their nose in a lot of things. Coomer was forced out at TW by District one BM. Johnson has done good so far in that position. From what I was told Coomer didn't feel comfortable there. When the board tried to build new middle schools that was a flop, the county doesn't seem to have enough tax base to support the plan. Then the circulated the rumor of breaking Lee High in to two high school that seemed to an even bigger farce. I know of 35 kids that are at Union that have Lee County addresses. Mason Poiler and Nate Bailey two super athletes are playing at Union. Former Lee High And UVA-Wise standout Mekenzie Cluesman is coaching at Union. Cluesman interviewed for the girls position and would have been a great fit, what went wrong? I was told by here dad at Union one night that the AD's lied to her. Yes sounds like a lot of the blame lies with the board for their hiring practices but Lee High shares some of the blame. Letting Tim Johnson go could turn out to be a mistake, possible Football or Boys Basketball HC was not out of his capabilities. How many former coaches are now teachers at Lee High? Can someone answer that question?

No body in their right mind would take the job. With the history of interference from parents to the school board you will not be able to do what you want. With a history of a max of three years and done. Not going to attract as nyone any good anyway.
