We were blessed to have him for ten years and he got Mansfield (LA) into the playoffs this year for the first time in forever. He's a really good coach. Sure, they should have gone farther in the playoffs a few times, but injuries derailed those runs. Coach Crumedy has had a lot work against him (talent level being the biggest), but our athletic program doesn't win much outside of track and soccer. I've heard that there's better talent coming in the football program, so there's that. It's just a question of whether Kendrick will be there to coach them. He's a good man and a good coach, so I really hope he can have success there soon and be able to stay until he chooses to leave. It just doesn't always work that way.

I'll be pulling for that and success outside of playing us.

I know that you guys have had a horrible season. I'm sure enthusiasm fades quick after you get run over a few times.

That's exactly what we're dealing with. I think Coach Crumedy's a good dude, but he needs to figure out how to get through to those kids or bring someone in that will. It can't continue.

A 1-8 team coming into tonight shouldn't be celebrating anything. I know kids should be kids, but our coaches would have made us run bleachers forever for that mess tonight.

!!:0/57/F The game was essentially called with 3 minutes left due to frustrations running over on both sides. At that point, the officials decided to run out the clock with no more plays being run. When I turned off the radio call, the Jasper announcers were saying that no one (including the head coaches) was even shaking hands. Based on everything I've heard about our guys this year, this is not surprising at all. We've got to conduct ourselves a lot better than this going forward.

Got it. I wish we could. Maybe we'd be more competitive.

I never would have imagined we'd be in this situation. We were around 950 when I was in high school in the early 90s. Is it possible that we opt down to 3A-1? I don't know the pros and cons of doing that.

They must've taken ours at lunch time. 😄 (Surprised how low that is...)

Yeah. I think so. I know Crumedy's heart is in the right place. but it's a result-driven job and not for everybody.

How does that happen so quickly? He's only four years in and I don't remember Barbay having department-wide issues with winning.

I agree. That with the rest of the athletic department losing the way that it does is beyond embarrassing. Changes need to be coming.

It's hard to look at this season as just a one-off, but I hope it is.

That's the million dollar question. Jasper didn't just run out of good athletes.

Outscored 348-39. As bad as this year has been, I can't imagine going through that.
