Olebluedev 13 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 I have no clue, but it's next man up. I have seen improvement in all 3 games. Even though they all resulted in a loss, I believe the future can be bright. Need to get the bend but don't break mentality on defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarhead24219 440 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 I read these posts and I have to wonder what is going on at GATE CITY. I worked at WEBER CITY for 2 years during the mid 90's and the kids were great,the fan base would fight you over their kids and the coaching staff were looked upon as gods.I will be the first to say I know nothing about AKERS or his staff, but I also look at the recent problems with the baseball team and think maybe its not a school problem ,but a parent problem.IF a kid is cursing his coaches, he needs to be sent to the house, because he has no respect, and that goes back to the parent.I remember COACH BOLLING (PV 1ST STATE CHAMPION COACH)ran off a kid by the name  BELLEMY who had more speed than J. JONES,and more moves than THOMAS JONES, over his mouth(kid went to prison later in life). I also have seen the last PV STATE CHAMPION have several of its players die,jailed ect because they had lots of talent but very little respect for anything else.My point is this, what do you want,A COACH WHO MAKES GREAT YOUNG MEN , OR A COACH WHO WILL EXCEPT KIDS BEING A PROBLEM ON AND OFF THE FIELD.In the great game of life , I would rather have a coach and staff that teaches my kid what is expected of him, and the championships will come....just look at APPOMATTOX.

Grapeape 259 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Can't speak on the kid's reaction, but blaming it on a former coach is just dumb. GC's coach is a bum, and the mess is all his. Attitude reflects leadership. The problem starts with the SB and the AD - also bums. Acres was the only man that would take the job; no one else wanted it after 1. Meeting GC's esteemed AD & 2. seeing GC's crumbling facilities. GC finishes 2017 either 1-9 or 0-10, depending on how they play against Lee. mw0729, whatamess and gc1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarhead24219 440 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 The AD is the same AD for the girls basketball,boys basketball,girls VB etc,they all seem to fine ,some state champions there.Mac gets div 1 ride and more to come,something is being done right.

Definitely a shame where it is now. No facilities upgrades of any kind for GC sports since 1997. Not trying to highjack the thread, but GC has the worst overall (basketball, volleyball, baseball, track, softball) facilities around. The visitor's side of Legion was condemned in 2015. The SB's sports complex decision might have something to with that. I know for a fact that when South's current HC interviewed, he recommended to the AD that he stop showing candidates the facilities.
