This ran in the Friday (02/01/08) El Dorado News Times:

Fundraising group to meet Monday    

JUNCTION CITY – A committee hoping to raise money for a new multipurpose fieldhouse for Dragons' athletics will have its first meeting on Monday.
   The meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday at the community center. Organizers are encouraging all former and current players, parents of former and current players, fans, boosters and supporters of the football program to attend the meeting. A board will be named and fundraisers will be created to raise much needed funds.
   According to head football coach David Carpenter, the current fieldhouse has severe problems, including major leaks when it rains. Carpenter's office, the weightroom and lockerrooms have all been damaged during recent rains.
   The current fieldhouse is decades old. State law mandates that a school can't spend money directly on a football fieldhouse because not all students will use the facility.
   The committee wants to raise enough money to construct a new multipurpose fieldhouse that would house coaches' offices, dressing rooms, showers and a weightroom.

The thing about as soon as practice started some are sent to the cages while the others stay up on the field.   Well.....just being totally honest.....that has gone on at JC since I can remember......and if anyone knows me......I started going to JC baseball practices when I was around 7 years old.   This goes all the way back to Coach Bolen days.....and he was a decent coach .... ;)....anyway......as long as I can remember it.....JC would run their laps......stretch.......warm the arms up......then we would separate......the top 18....and sometimes less would stay up on the field....and the dozen or so others would go the cages to hit hit hit and hit some more.   That is what would make them better........once the season got going......we only had so many hours a week we were allowed to practice by the AAA.....and if the other 12 were involved with every phase of the practice.......we would not be working the top 18 enough.......when Coach Bolen and Coach Hux were in charge....the practices were very structured.    Fundamentals were touched on EVERY day......live BP........and infield practice till it was done right.     Between the 2 coaches...."Bolen and Hux" there were over 700 victories.......6 state titles.....3 rup finishes.....and over 20 semifinal appearances........Coach Bolen was 385-63 as a head coach with 4 state titles.  He may have won another one in 1986 if he had not died on the field during the first round of the state tourney.    Coach Hammett is a coach Bolen disciple.........I personally played 3 years for Joe Paul at the airport.....and he never played favorites......I don't see it in his Character........it would suprise me more than if the sun didn't rise tomorrow if he was doing that.    Coaches Hux and Bolen did it the right way........with class.....integrity.......and knowledge of the game in all phases........Coach Bolen was named Arkansas High School coach of the year 5 times.....and Coach Hux twice.........Joe Paul played for both of the these men.........I just don't see this being something that he could or better yet....would do.    If he was Coach Bolen would have already crawled out of that grave that is about 40 yards from home plate and had a long talk with the man ;)     Give Joe Paul time.......he will get it back to where it used to be.....I have no doubt.     We have just been kinda thin on the mound the last couple of years....
That is how practice should be. It shouldn't be about teenagers whining because they didn't get to do what the other kids did that day. Earn your spot.

Earn your spot would have been a novel idea on the '06 Dragon baseball team.  I don't have any problem with freshmen playing varsity.  I've seen some good ones.  Let's just say some freshmen that year had a little history with the new coach and they were fast-tracked to varsity.  They were good players with potential, but don't know that an objective coach would have thought they were varsity-quality freshmen. 




I didn't mean to restart an old argument, just wanted to let folks know about the meeting Monday (2/4/08 - 6:30 pm) to develop plans to raise money for a replacement field house.  I'd think anybody who has seen the current facility would agree it's overdue for replacement.

Geaux Dragons!  Good luck with the field house project.

News Times added a little to the notice that ran in the Saturday, Feb 2nd paper.  One of the organizers is a FF poster.  Good luck in your efforts.

Sounds like a good start.

Would guess one of the schools referenced with new facilities was Mt. Ida.  I didn't go in the fieldhouse there but the outside was quite impressive.  The concession stand/restrooms were nice also.   Any Lions out there got any pointers on how ya'll managed to raise construction funds? 

footballfan

Just a little on the Mount Ida facility. Apparently the initial "seed money" came from a very wealthy individual. Someone from that district might elaborate. The fieldhouse in Junction is a disaster. Can't believe the school admin. and board are so numb on this. It's really in no shape for students, especially those who will spend 5-6 days a week over there.

Obituary from the 2/19/08 El Dorado News Times:

TRINZO C. CARTER    Trinzo Cortez "Zodie" Carter, 31, of Dallas, and formerly of Junction City died Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2008, in Dallas.
   He was born on July 20, 1976, in Bernice, La., the son of Robert Warren and Cosette Carter. He was a 1993 graduate of Junction City High School and member of New Mount Union Baptist Church in Junction City. He worked in the maintenance department at Dallas/ Fort Worth Airport.
   He was preceded in death by his father and his grandparents, Merle Lee Carter, Robert James and Tottie Mae Warren.
   Survivors include a son, Lorenzo Carter of Dallas; a daughter, LaDiamond Creer of El Dorado; his mother, Cosette Carter of Junction City; four brothers, Josh Warren of Smackover, Darryl Carter and John D. Carter of Junction City, and Romeatress Warren of Detroit; and two sisters, Kim Carter of Junction City and Tandrea Warren Williams of Detroit.
   Funeral will be at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday at New Mount Union Baptist Church with the Rev. Antwoine Smith officiating. Burial will be in Community Cemetery in Junction City under the direction of Andrews Funeral Home.
   Public viewing will be from 1 to 5 p.m. today and from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday at the funeral home. The family will be at the Billy and Gloria Carter home after the service.





I know there would be quite an age difference, but would the John D. Carter listed as a surviving brother be the J.D. Carter who was a junior(?) on the '07 football team?

Trinzo was a member of my gym a while back. How did he die?

Yes J.D is the youngest brother. R.I.P cousin, you will be missed.

thanks for the link. How many places from District qualify for state? I see the state meet will be May 15 at Mineral Springs.

footballfan

the top two in each event at districts qualify for state. You can also qualify if your time during the year at a sanctioned meet is in the top 2. The sprinter from Hermitage finished out of the top two in the 200 districts, but his time during the year was good enough to qualify.
