What's going on over there you say?
They went from Buck James to Blair brown to mediocrity.
Star city once was a team that was Pulaski academy's Achilles heel. Multiple times, the dogs knocked PA out of the playoffs with sound hard nosed GATA football. That's something that is a rare feat and not many teams can claim that. Then over the last couple of years it's been like this.

Am I wrong? Star city used to be a team come playoff time people did not want to face.
I thought Furneaux was a good coach, figured they'd be looking for a DC before replacing the head coach.

Star City is looking for a new head coach. If they don't promote coach Welch they are idiots. His Jr. high record speaks for itself..IMO

Not sure how long he has been here , He was here when Blair coached and should have been promoted then but instead they hired the home town guy..He is in his late 40's a great coach and the players respond to him well..

Gotcha
the idiots you are referring to just need to do what's best for the kids and not what makes the people around town happy!! It never works out well for the kids playing the sport, whichever sport it is, or the school in the long run. I will be willing to bet that the idiots will do their best to put the most qualified person in that position, whomever it might be.

As always, correct me if I am wrong.
PA met Star City 3 times. All 3 in the playoffs.
PA lost in 2002 21-28
PA won in 2004 17-13
PA won in 2010 56-28
Hope the cult hires a good one. This board is much more fun when they have a playoff team.

Thank you. I figured someone would correct me. I forgot to go back to 99. I was just thinking mostly of the Kelley era as head coach. And actually I was wrong again on that one too. Kelley became head coach in 2003. So pre-Kelley 0-2. Since Kelley 2-0. I was wrong "multiple" times. ;D
I will say this of Star City and the many years we played them. Always tough and always well coached. The last year we played them........well.....let's just leave it there.

The idiots i am referring to have not done a very good job lately hiring the most qualified personal so i don't see them doing the right thing now..The school is begging for more money because these idiots spent millions on projects that in most peoples opinions were not always the most needed projects. They hired personal that is since gone that either embezzled money or overspent whichever the case may be. i look forward to your comments but it may be a few days before i can get back on here to respond..i can go into more details if you wish...
Instead of getting on here and running your town and school down because of decisions that people are making. Why don't you use your expertise in these matters and run for school board?? Elections are held every year and when your zones position is open please feel free to run. But it is alot easier to get on social media and tell everyone how big of idiots they are than sitting at the table and being part of the decision making process!! By the way 100% of the people you are referring to in your long winded post are not even part of the school or board. All I ask is that you check your facts before you start posting on here for the world to see.

Coach Dutton is the head coach at Watson Chapel. Coach McGraw I believe was the head jr high coach at Mcgehee.
Just had a convo with McGraw. He hasn't applied for the SC job. Said if he leaves Dumas it will be for a job in Central Arkansas to be closer to his aging Parents.

I worked with Coach Vereen a few years back at DeQueen and I can assure you that you are getting a great coach. As far as his record goes you have to look at the whole picture. He took over three programs that were struggling ( Gillett, DeQueen, and Hot Springs ) and made them competitive and left those programs in a lot better shape then when he got there. He won a conference championship at Hot Springs which is amazing considering they haven't won there much since the 80s. He is a good man who kids love to play for and coaches want to coach with. I have seen it first hand and you will not regret having him as your head coach. Good Luck this year Star City and congrats on the hire.

Vereen won 8 games, including a playoff game, in his last year at Gillett. The 0-10 record you speak of belongs to Welch in the final year of that program's existence. Facts.

Coach Welch's record at Star City
65-23 JR. High overall
3 8-0 conf championships
2 7-1 seasons conf runner up
5 sr high track distric championships
3 jr high track district championships
1 losing season in 11 years
With this record i believe he deserved a chance to move up to sr high. imo
Best of luck to coach Vereen
Vereen will do great at Star City
Runner up for Job was Watson Chapel Coach
Welch from Jr. High was 3rd

Gillett 27-34 6 seasons
DeQueen 29-27 5 seasons

Your facts are correct on playoff, However incorrect on Coach Vereen being the coach.. He was Head Coach in Dequeen that year.. John Welch was coach in Gillett at that time.. do the research..
