PREPARE TO BE SHOCKED......

If they came up with their own trophy, that's one thing, but if the district awarded it, then that is another. The CMD does have JV championships in baseball and softball that the other districts don't have, but I don't know about football.

At the same time, JV trophies can provide motivation for the younger kids. Lebanon has had a great program and tradition, so maybe that is one of their secrets.

Now for the truth
Many may not believe me or this but I promise you I have better insight on the situation than most people think.
When Coach Austin found out Travis had returned to the Wise Co. he called him and offered him a position and was prepared to step down and hand him the HC position next year. He called 8 more times and even went to Travis' house to offer it to him. No phone calls up to this day were ever returned. Coach Austin said to me personally "this feels like a death in the family." That is the truth of the matter. So thats the true story. I personally think Tom would roll over in his grave if he knew what has happened.

Interesting . . . I won't believe something out of the blue like that, but if it is actually true, that's very interesting indeed.

Why in the world would you want to coach at Appy if you were Travis? Throw out the loyalty biz,and think with your head,not your heart. If you are at Appy,you are going to have consolidation hanging over your head,never knowing how long that school will be there,and more importantly, how in the world do you handle trying to fill those enormous shoes that your daddy left-every decision you make hearing folks griping,saying "Boy sure ain't nothing like his daddy. Tom would have...". If I were him,you couldn't pay me enough to take that gig.

I second that, I don't care what school it is, nobody wants to hear that crap forever...

Ok, how about this as a thought.... Away from the newspapers and local cash cows (boosters), i belive it has been documented that Phil and Tom were pretty good friends... "Lets not forget the first head coach to be interviewed by the press when tom passed". Also when brad was a senior dose anyone remember who the OC was then? How about Nick Jr. Coach Colobro's son, another long time friend of Phil.

This is a great oppertunity for Travis and Powell Valley. The Oc position i think is a pretty nice way to call him a quarterback's coach. Phil will call the plays he always has. Travis will take the first year starting qb under his wing and help with the transition to varsity, seeing that i belive that Pv will not be in the spread this year. Travis being one of the best quarterbacks in the region when he played for appy he will be a huge help. (if im not mistaken he helped Brad Robbins the summer of his senior year).

PV will get a great former qb and a very young coach with a world of potentional. Travis will get a job with a coach that has a good offensive football mind and the oppertunity to learn. Everybody win's here and if you are from Appy of Pv we should all be excited to see this transition and the possiblity of dominance in the state again. Just a thought.

Nice post.

Travis was offered the job at Appy but I guess his Uncle Winky is paying him more to coach at PV.

God forbid that someone take advantage of an opportunity. This thread is beating a dead horse at its finest...

I think it is time to give this crap a rest.
