This is just up the road from me, and is a rough area. Drugs are everywhere, pathetic graduation rates, etc. Sad.

Sounds like what happened to the Ampipe coach back in the 80's when they lost the Big Game to those rich snobs from Walnut Creek.

Don’t know anything about the team, but as a long-time coach I know for certain you can be the most brilliant coach but if you don’t have the horses you ain’t going to win the races, period.

18 losses in a row wasn’t enough cause to quit? Or be fired? Now making excuses because of threats? Needs to find a new career.

People in this part of the country do take high-school football WAAAAAAAAY too seriously. A common affliction. No mention of the World Series this week in the Reading (Pa) Eagle 'til page seven - after six pages of HS football.
