Bigtom 42 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Got to looking at the district next year and could very well be the year we start our rise in the Mountain 7. We return everyone with a year experience under our belt. Union graduates a lot with Bunch and Turner. and Ridgeview will lose the whole line this year as well as Sexton and Sproles. I also think JB graduates a lot. Gate City should be better this year depending on new coach. Abingdon graduates a lot as well even though I will have them #1 in district. My prediction is Abingdon, Union, Central, Ridgeview, John Battle, Gate City, Lee WarriorSWVA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorSWVA 4 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Central has all the talent in place to be a really solid team. However the coaching staff is a complete joke. I’m pretty sure the defensive coordinator gets his game plans from YouTube videos or the book, “defense for dummies”. They need to wipe the slate clean and hire a new head coach. They make no adjustments, they are the laughing stock of coaching staffs. The program needs a complete overhaul. The play calling for the most part is atrocious. They can barely get a play sent in before the play clock runs out. I agree that they will be tough for the upcoming years but until they get a new coach I don’t see much change. And it hurts to think that. Just my opinion. Hands down the WORST coached team in the Mountain 7. These kids lost 1 game in 3 seasons at the 8th grade and JV level. Dominating other teams. Now they have coaches that can’t even muster up a simple defensive adjustment Or call an offensive play to counter the defensive alignment. How about let the guy that has coached the JV take over? Couldn’t be any worse than the coaching we have now. RichRich and Unchained 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S10SQUAREBODY4LIFE 239 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 success at the middle school and jv level doesn't always come guaranteed at the varsity level. nor is it always a reflection of good/ bad coaching. kids and coaches gotta find realistic common ground to improve. both sides have to demand more of each other, without parents/ bleacher coaches in the way. good luck to all That_guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24282 24 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Central doesn't win the mountain anytime soon. But they can place 10-15 on the all Conference team next year. Everybody can. Bigtom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn’t go from total domination one year to being out coached the next. RichRich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, however thing that after the Principal left we might would have seen a change but apparently that's not gonna happen. Who knows maybe we can get in the mix of the possibility of getting Adkins from Ridgeview LOL. WarriorSWVA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coach should take it upon himself and leave, what credentials did he have coaching wise? I know he played college ball but as he a head coach anywhere else, assistant, etc?

I know he coached wrestling then quit when he got the head coaching job he then had the wrestling team kicked out of the room that was made for them so he could use it as a weight room for football team.

If he was transferring at all, I don't think he would be playing hoops. So, we would be returning both the offensive and defensive players of the year in the district. Speaking of transfers... Another rumor going around is the QB that replaced McAmis transferring to Ridgeview. I don't see Ridgeview being any worse than third.

Also I don't think Mullins, who replaced McAmis will leave either. He has a bright future here. Ridgeview does lose a QB some recievers as well as all of the line which is hard to replace. Guess we will just have to wait and see what happens in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichRich 86 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 I think Mullins family is from Clintwood so I can see that happening. He should have a bright future for sure but the name of the injured kid is McAmis so Id imagine QB spot will be his Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That_guy 52 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Adkins isn't leaving Ridgeview. Mullins rumor I've heard also but not to Ridgeview I've heard J.I.B. Who I heard got a QB transfer a couple of weeks ago from Va High. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who I heard got a QB transfer a couple of weeks ago from Va High. Nah Mullins aint going anywhere I talked to him last week. We have Brickey back and some other nice targets for him to throw to. Only concern is our line. If Luke stays then he needs to find some linemen cause we certainly don't have any coming up. Need to find a D coordinator for sure. We will have Reynolds and Crabtree in the backfield which will be the new two headed monster in the Mountain 7 for a few years Abingdon will still be good next year but will be missing a lot of pieces, Just imagine if by some good fourtune, Owens resigns and Amburgy gets a chance to come home and coach. Union will be WAY down. Ridgeview like I said will struggle without a line I don't care if Walter Payton is in the backfield. So realistically I see Central no worse than 3rd next year and who knows maybe Mountain 7 champs year after depending on line play.
