Stout defense and an unbelievable HS kicking game goes a long way in the post season.
Absolutely
Those two sophomore LBs are going to be monsters when they are seniors. Jenkins & Co have been able to churn out some high caliber backers through the years, but these will be the first two since I believe Fryman &/or Ault that have been in the LB rotation/core before their junior seasons.
I saw rogals big butt Friday night
saw this coming
Didn't Roberts already leave once for a job? I wonder why franklin can never keep a coach?
and why does it have to be a FRANKLIN guy? why not just the best candidate that applies?
Because the last three hires were outside of the district and didn’t work, it’s called insanity doing the same thing over and over and it not working out. For whatever reason at Franklin outside hires haven’t had nearly the same success as coaches who have been from here or who have been a part of the system for a long time. Not just football it’s all sports. Franklin’s best sport currently is wrestling coached by a staff and head coach of nothing but Franklin guys.
Interesting, so why did the franklin guys leave in the first place? I can remember Childers having some pretty good success when they had the Montgomery kid, maybe this stems down to a franklin problem. brand new high school, nice stadium with nice equipment, when you look at it like that it might seem great for a coach to come in and try to establish themself. if the last three out of district hires didn't work, maybe franklin should try to be more welcoming and supportive?
So did everyone else in the community, except the AD who hired him
My youngest nephew played for Muncy. Said the team morale was best it’s been in a few years. Sounds like the boys like him for the most part. Unfortunately Franklin hasn’t had a winning season since Brad Childers. Did anyone ever hear why he still isn’t the coach? I’m not sure the guy had a losing season and if I remember correctly my oldest nephew said he was COY a couple of times with several playoff appearances and league championships. I think it would be silly not to entertain bringing Childers back.
I agree with this, who is franklins AD?
But doesn't the wrestling team have a lot of transfers who came from somewhere else to wrestle? Who is the recommendation then for the new HC from Franklin?
One kid I believe who’s been here since he was a sophomore and parents moved into the district he also played football.
Bales ran Childers out of Franklin when he was the AD there. Bales claimed that he didn't use his son the correct way. His son was a kicker.
I don't think anyone is really judging the Muncy hire just stating the obvious that many of us said when he was hired. It was short term and he would be headed back to Miamisburg when the job opened up. Maybe the new AD is the right guy and maybe he will make the right hire again this time around. Bottom line, running Childers out was a horrible decision and if he were still the coach Franklin would probably be competing with Bellbrook for first place in the SWBL instead of with Monroe for last place. The players are still there, the buy in is not, and who can blame the kids with coaching carousel they've dealt with.
Agree. I do not know why they ran Childers out, not sure what all was behind it. Not sure if hes still even interested. I just dont think saying the AD's job should be on the line when he hired the best person. I agree many including me wondered if Muncy would leave but if miamisburg didnt open up for 4 yrs or 5 yrs id love to see where he would have taken this program.
Childers was run out of Franklin because of Bales and daddy ball.....
Congratulations to Bellbrook on an outstanding season. If you want to say Bellbrook is the measuring stick you have to include Valley View.
Yeah if he's just referring to the Southwest recently he's right. but Valley View has carried the water for this league as a whole for a long time. Unquestionably the most consistent program.
The SWBL as a whole would be a lot better if Franklin and Edgewood were better. In the small schools I think Carlisle is on the right path. Next season will tell us if Waynesville is building a program or this run was just a good class going through. Eaton, Brookville and VV are the solid programs of the division. Hopefully when the new teams join VV and Bellbrook will be able to continue playing each other yearly. It's a good rivalry and, as a VV fan, I have a lot of respect for Bellbrook
Soft parents and a soft culture. Most see the Clemmons era as a success, however, if you knew some of the details you would understand how they squandered so many good opportunities. Unwilling to play the best players both ways, making a kid a starter for the first time in his life just because he is a senior, and then having to game plan around him unable to do his job, (over and over again) poor play calling or choking under the gun. All these things contributed to an almost great season every year. After they ran out of hard core parents it was over. That 2016-2018 run was the best it was going to get. Takes a lot of talent to overcome bad coaching. Makes for a long road back for the mostly new staff.
