Freedom

It was a closed working session next Monday is an open session look for it too happen that night. According to my sources
Do you know what you can do with your source if so do it quickly and stop dragging this out for attention ! ! ! This is getting old sticking your nose into the 1A & 3A boards. I don't think you know any more than the rest of us and playing off what you hear others say 1st it was the 29th and now you have moved it to next week. How about not saying anything else until it is a 100% sure thing,

I am not saying it is not correct but saying let there be an official announcement and stop your hearsay until then. You keeping this going can not be good for the Mount Airy football players coming in this fall wondering who the coach will be. That is more of what I am looking at. It is not bothering Freedom players as much because they know they have no coach yet. It can bother a team more that they may be losing a coach that just won back-to-back State Championships with them and may be leaving. So how about cooling it until we all know for sure? 100%
You may be getting a laugh out of having everyone on the 3A boards calling and joking about Mount Airy and Mayberry but these kids don't need your bullcrap ! ! !

Lol as long as I have been on here I've never ran across a active football playing kid. Hell I've asked players and they didn't even know the forums existed unless parents brought it up. And I'm amazed if this hasn't already made it through the community or team at Mt airy. And lastly y'all are back to back champions, I think ur underestimating the mental toughness of your kids. To do that feat y'all's kids have to be mentally and physically tough.

As far as jumping around on boards our non conference schedule is nothing but 3a and 4a schools so yes I do go on other boards. Granted we don't play down to 1a schools. The variety is the spice of life it's a good thing to go across forums and read and interact with different people. So much information can be learned that way

TD he is leaving its already known in the Granite City a plan is in place!
 
Amaidendevil, THANK YOU for all your input on the Mt Airy-Freedom situation. Everyone except the very sick TD appreciates it.
You are not even a lifelong Bear fan as I have been since the early to mid-1960s when I turned a teenager. And yes I have a lot of diabetic-related health problems and some nights I can't even go to sleep and I get 3 or 4 hours sleep the next day. Diabetes affects every part and organ of your body. My Mom, Dad, and Sister all died with the same problems that I have. My Mom had her leg amputated about 6 months before she passed away. So you keep calling me sick as though I have a sick mind. Maybe you will get it someday and know how it affects your whole body and worry constantly about what part of your body will it affect next. You have chosen to side with someone in a 2A conference over a true lifelong BEAR fan who loves his school football team and you never even went to Mount Airy. I do appreciate how you support the BEARS now, thank you for what you do but don't put down another lifelong BEAR fan. I have known and respected you for years since your son Alex played basketball at Mount Airy and I think he is the one who transferred to Oak Hill Academy, or am I thinking of someone else's son? I have never said a word against you. The only thing else I have to say is Go Bears 🐻 🏈 with or without JK Adkins ! !

I just do not like the way a Maiden 2A fan has disrespected Mount Airy and JK Adkins by starting this rumor although it is probably true and it should have been The school or Adkins that made this announcement at the appropriate time. I would have rather heard it from the School like it has always happened at Mount Airy that I can ever remember when there was a coach needed or it was sent to Deana at NCPreps and she posted that a school needed a coach. He has made this process to be drawn out longer than normal with everyone wanting to know who the new coach will be. That is just my feeling that I have the right to just as everyone else has the right to theirs and I won't ever put down another Bears fan siding with someone in a conference that does not even have a dog or should I say a Bear in the fight ! !

Man, I was never disrespectful never said a negative comment barring a response to a hostile comment. I used a football forum for the intent and definition of a forum, to seek and provide information on such said topic. And much to your disagreement I don't think this form was ever meant to be a segregated form based on your classification.
 
All I can say that there sure was a lot MA fans with “input” on the forums when Starmount was going through the coaching search.

I even told everyone I was on the committee and knew everything going on until the day Greg Lloyd was named.

There is nobody disrespecting anybody. A person heard a rumor that may or may not become fact.

I guess we will see what happens.

Yes, there was a lot of comment when Starmount was looking for a coach but only after you announced Starmount was looking for a new head coach not before their last coach left and that is the way it should be and not by rumors that disrupt the whole process before everyone is 100%. Sportsnut got on to someone a few weeks ago for posting something that was just a rumor and not substantiated yet and put a stop to it.

All my comments where never specifically saying any names. I talked in terms were people could make assumptions but never actually flat out said it and I posted a lot in question form not statements
 
Also, Deana if rumors are now with nothing to back it up then anyone can get on here and say with nothing to back it up that Starmount's new coach is leaving after one year at Starmount and it is not true or verified. Maybe that is why Sportsnut saw to it that what someone was posting had not been verified. When I post something that is questionable I post it from a newspaper or where I read the facts. He is invading the privacy of JK Adkins and Mount Airy High posting information that has not been 100% verified by the coach or either school and has nothing to back up his rumor. If Mount Airy had announced an opening for the head coach then I see no problem with speculation on who may get the job but as of now, Mount Airy has no opening that has been announced. I have seen many people over the years that was told not to post rumors without an article or some kind of proof to back up what they said. I was one of those at one time so I started posting articles to back me up. Now we will probably see all kinds of rumors with no proof starting since the door has been opened and approved !

Man, I'm gonna wish u a long and healthy life with everything u want. I'm not going to get in the mud and insult you or belittle you. I'm gonna take the high road on this and be a gracious person. Hope y'all get a replacement coach that brings y'all success.

Not a black bear but a Stone Bear from Mount Airy said it all. You made every effort to make it look to be JD Adkins saying he was from down that way and had a son he wanted to be near.
 
Can an inanimate object such as a school have privacy ?? A public coach or state employee in fact give up some forms of privacy when comes to job information. I would never dive into family or doxing a person. But for example u do realize as a state employee all coaches and teaches have their salaries posted for the public to see ?? Once again I wouldn't drop to that level.

Once again though I never posted the actual person if you or anyone assumes that up to yall

Hope you have a great and healthy life 🙏
I hope you have a long and healthy life too but please don't post crap like this you posted earlier that turns Mount Airy Fans against each other. If it is ever proven true may you be the first to show the fact for your honor and redemption. Now please stay out of Mount Airy High School's business with your rumors that I admit may be true but still rumors.

Your post said with a laugh and I made corrections on your grammar below it: @REWhitley can u help ur guy find some peace and acceptance. 😂.

@REWhitley can u help your guy find some peace and acceptance ? 😂.

Amaidendevil, I am sorry for TD, I wish he would take his medicine, whatever it would take for him not to go down rabbit holes that just make himself and all Mt Airy people look like idiots.

TD use to be one of the best guys you would ever want to meet. And some days he still is. But then there are the others days. Again, I am sorry. Please just ignore him.

We are all good. I'll look at this whole thing as a good thing. I feel like I made some new friends in an area that I'm normally wouldn't come across. And expanded some football talk outside of peoples personal universe. If I can make a few more friends and keep the number higher than new enemies 😂 it's a good thing.

JK is not going to Freedom or Mt Airy...instead, he heading to the Carolina Panthers as the new OC. He plans to revamp the offense with the Run only option used at Mt. Airy. He will take with him the QB, RB, and the offensive line and 3 asst. coaches. Now, get over it and move on!!!

In all seriousness why would he leave Mt. Airy for Freedom? I am not trying to rock the boat or continue an argument. Maybe I missed the reasoning in an earlier post. Help me out. Why leave?

The very best that those of us in Mt Airy can figure out, notice I said figure out because we do not know, is family reason and "going home".
Let me tell you what we do know:
1. No One in Mt Airy wants him to leave.
2. While we lost some really outstanding players, Mt Airy is still LOADED.
3. The coaching staff worked fabulously together, a really well oiled machine.
4. The young men on the team completely bought into his program, weight room work, team first, support each other, etc.

Let me say what most of us Fans see going forward or hope for going forward:
1. The coaching staff stays in tack.
2. The new head coach is the previous head coach (1 state championship in 3 appearances) that retired to watch his son play college ball and the past 3 or 4 years was one of Adkin's top assistants.
3. If not number 2 above, we have complete confidence in the school staff and administration will select another top notch HC.

I believe Freedom will thrive under J K and will reach new heights with 2 to 4 years. He will represent the school and community very well. I believe if he had chosen to stay at Mt Airy, he had the very real possibility of being talked about in the same manner of Tommy Knott, formerly of Independence HS and now of SC Dutch Fork HS.

Good summary and desires for the future but the gap between Tom Knotts and most everyone is extremely wide. I would say he could have potentially left Mt. Airy being mentioned in the same company as a David Gentry, which is still great company but Tommy Knotts is just a different animal.

3a will be a much bigger challenge as far as defensive and offensive schemes if he wants to win big and he may have wanted to challenge himself that way as well.
 
Do not know about Burke County Bd of Ed but he called our Principal today and told him he had accepted the Freedom offer.

I'm not saying this 100 percent. But if I had to guess it was probably unofficially decided last Monday closed meeting. And will be officially stamped this Monday on open board meeting.
