Chambers Open?!?

Back to where they were before the "enhanced enrollment."
We called this regular season. Coach Wiggins is a class act.
Wiggins is a clsss act. I saw him stepping down in the next few years to be a principal where the real money is at. He’s been commuting from Greensboro to Charlotte for the past 2 years every day. Got a wife and two young babies. Thankful for his service at JC.
What sucks is they had the perfect situation at Chambers with Donald Littlejohn in the building and would’ve been the easiest choice to take over the program but that won’t be happening.

Folks sleep on Coach Littlejohn. Its no coincidence everywhere he goes they win. Mallard Creek, South Pointe, and now WC. He's the son of legend and will make an excellent head coach one day. He would have done wonders at Chambers. Sooner or later folks will realize hiring from within or within the system works. Seen it too many times. When Knotts left WC it should have gone to Strong or Gilchrist. Butler should have gotten Stone. Indy won a ship with Geiler. Indy was good with Evans, and MacFadden. WC good with Flowers, Brand..... Butler good with Hales. Littlejohn at Chambers would have been lethal. But these ADS are getting these Greensboro coaches that dont know Charlotte ball as well. Greiner is lethal at WC because he knows the culture/environment.
when it comes to Coach Littlejohn, I feel ya ......he need way more props for his skills. What he done at Mallard Creek and South Pointe say a whole lot 'bout how he build teams that win. It be funny why them athletic directors be sleepin' on local talent like that. Wiggins been the real deal at JC, and how he juggle the commute with fam life is mad respect. Moving up to principal feel like the perfect move for him, especially with coaching and family on his plate.
He will be an excellent principal. Glad to see him taking that step.
Snagging coaches from far away sometimes misses the true Charlotte vibe. But like Greiner at WC, he’s vibing with the 704! Understanding the local scene equals instant W’s! He knows what makes the squad and fans go wild, and that’s the secret sauce.
This will be interesting. Kids ain’t knocking the doors down to come to Chambers to play football anymore. Facilities, uniforms, and program in general are way better shape at Creek and West Charlotte. Not making any excuses for the program’s demise but Fielder is cleaning up a lot of mess from the previous AD. They went from sugar to shit real fast. Previous AD set the program back and we’re going to see remnants of his tenure at Chambers. Gonna take a big time hire to get them back IMO..
I doubt very seriously, if any coach that has been inside that building is applying for that job. Kids talk. They already know it’s not a good destination for football, unless you’re just zoned and have to go there. First stop for the new coach should be James Martin middle school. Gotta start from scratch.

It’s crazy to see the program crumble this fast. People will think I’m being extreme but I can see it being Harding or Berry bad if the right hire isn’t made. Many people don’t realize that Chambers is up there with Garringer as far as discipline, overall school grade (both Fs) and is often viewed as one of the worst schools in the city. The big 3 sports (football and girls & boys basketball) at Chambers made many overlook the challenges & negative perception of the school.
