Shocking but not that shocking news here. Coach Ricker has served JB well and will continue to in many ways.   It’s a tough school to coach football at indeed but it has hope.  The kids and athletes are there but the challenge is to get the athletes to come out and play at JB.  Losing year end and year out is the current standard.   It’s going to take a new leader and true program mindset to be established by the new incoming head coach. Hit those hallways and get the kids to come out and play.  
In popular opinion whomever takes over the helm needs to prioritize and establish on day 1 a new culture and identity.   The weight room and nutrition needs to become a priority alongside a revamp of the entire offense and defensive schemes. 
There is a severe need to redesign the youth feeder programs- system and oversee the youth programs as the garden of future players . That’s where the love for football starts and the inner connection to the HS program is missing.

John Battle will give it their all Friday night! They are a Senior deep team who have had spurts of potential.  Lost some really close games in the end or record would and should be better. Senior play with a lot of heart.  Injuries have taken their toll this season with some key players being out.   Prediction: 34-14 Union 

Hoping to see a third matchup happen this year with both teams rested and their ace pitchers whoever that may be  on the mound in the end - TBD 

Battle and Abingdon will match up again in the MT 7 tournament finals if the stars align - then Abingdon will face the Hankins kid …..that will tell the true story 

Hankins and gobble are definitely the best 2 pitchers.  Against Abingdon and Lebanon, they have to be on the mound.  Against anyone else in this area you can go deeper.

Battle is prime for a big run 

Thanks for feedback …that’s a shame  on the administrations part if just to lazy to put on events  for the next wave of athletes and sub Varsity level.  
SWVA needs to take lessons from Tennessee and the way they run things ….creates a better product in the end (Varsity years) by investing in Middle School and JV level Championship settings …..which ultimately bring in more money in the varsity years …..or at least that’s the way I see it
