I never said it was 5,000 a year.    I said the base salary difference for someone with 2 years of experience and 12 years experience (see?   a difference of 10 years) was about $5,000.   total.

In other words,  someone with 2 years experience might have a base salary of $36,000 a year.

While someone with 12 years experience might have a base salary of $41,000 a year.

Though I can see in the wording how you might've gotten confused.

if it helps I understood what you were trying to say.

I honestly don't know how they didn't get what he was saying. Reading comprehension?

I felt the same way. Made sense to me.

I don't know jack about this Coach, but I was on the sidelines during a game they played last year. I have no interest in the football team so my comments are completely from an outsiders perspective. This Coach took cussing a kid way too far in my opinion. He completely demoralized them. I would look in the faces of some of the kids and they just seemed to be beaten down by what he had said. With that being said, I'm an old school dude. Our Coach never cussed us but he talked to us like dogs and was a hands on kind of Coach of ya know what I mean. I'm not one of these "everyone gets a trophy cats". I believe in accountability and rewards for hard work. not for  just showing up. But honestly, I didn't think his philosophy was healthy for a team like DC. I believe if you have a winning program you can mentally beat them up alot more. But being that those kids took a beating almost everytime they took the field, I didn't think his philosophy was healthy or productive. I may be wrong. Probably am more than I'm right.

Kinda hard to enjoy the game when your getting beat down by the other team and your own coach

No offense it's drew central. Not exactly a breeding ground for football success.

You know there was a time even Junction City was considered "everybody's homecoming game".

And some teams road to success always ends in a dead end.

There was also a time when Hector was homecoming for Ola/TR every year. Ahhhh, those were the days

Sadly no. Only had about 16 kids during spring, so if a few guys quit we'll be in major trouble. 4 or 5 of the guys who would be our best players are academically ineligible. Not much participation and not much talent, plus a third coaching change in 3 years could mean the end of the Two Rivers program

They put on helmets & run around, not sure how much football they play!!

I hope they at least make it through this year and just field a team. Then they can rebound hopefully the coming seasons with numbers. But I agree, realistically I'd say more like 18 is really what you need to field a team. Obviously, it only takes 11 players, but I would say roughly 18 is the bare bones minimum a 3A school would need be out there!

Yes, but discussion of Waldron is generally in the 4A forum.

[WPWells]

Discussion of Waldron is appropriate anywhere at any time

I think the biggest issue Monticello and Drew central faces is the town trying to get the mayor removed from office.

We have some good numbers in junior high. Hopefully that new stadium will change a few minds about playing this year if it gets done in time
