So you think Cherokee's "young combo" is better than Curry and McRae at Murphy? They did win back to back JV titles afterall...Originally posted by BravesGWY:
Tiger I said young combo
McRae on the other hand did dominate the SMC JV's last year before he got moved up, more so than any one player has in this conference in a good long while.Originally posted by gal durnit:
The duo that Braves mentioned has lots of potential. I wouldn't say they DOMINATED JV's last year but they are both very good athletes. The young duo from Murphy will be something to watch over the next few years as well.
Some of the parents of the younger basketball players coming up (middle school and JV) aren't at all happy with the state of the varsity basketball program and are considering their options. McRae already plays AAU basketball with a bunch of the kids at Cherokee, so it wouldn't be a difficult transition if it ever happened.Originally posted by murphy1981:
Are there rumblings he may be leaving or not playing?
I don't blame you roadglide, it's a sad state of affairs. It wasn't that long ago that Murphy was ruling the roost in all three major sports with Bristol coaching the baseball team and the basketball team experiencing a great run of talent. But I don't think some within Murphy athletics were as thrilled about that as one might think.Originally posted by roadglide32:
My son would like to play football at Murphy and would of been a help to the program in my opinion.But with the state of the baseball program we can't risk it.He would likely see a lot of time on the basketball court also.
My facts are mostly fine, the superintendent approves and makes the official hire. Most of input, consideration and recommendation is done by other individuals in the process.Originally posted by dogtuff:
check your facts before you spout off , that hire was made by the superintendent , and if kids want to be good in 3 sports , where would they go, check our record in the Wachovia cup.
You are correct and yes I am.Originally posted by roadglide32:
I am confident with my decision.No situation is perfect and parents and fans will complain no matter what takes place. dogtuff,you are passionate about your school,and rightfully so.We have taken this thread way off it's original intent,so I'm done.
6 to 1 just maybe you two don't know as much as you think you do. Great job Dogs and coach Clonts!Originally posted by mbdfan:

At worst, some within the athletic department don't like the idea of competing with baseball and basketball for talent and resources and have (or in the case of basketball, not) facilitated things to ensure those programs will not be close to the level of football long term.
At best, some within the athletic department simply couldn't care less if the baseball and basketball programs are terrible as long as the football program remains successful. Actions attest to this: when Coach Bristol stepped down the man ultimately hired was an inexperienced and largely unqualified candidate to replace him as coach. They've also remained disinterested while the basketball program hits rock bottom and negligent by not ensuring a new coach is hired to right the ship.
