Bulldoggs fall on road to Panthers

The problem is not those people. The problem is the lack of athletes! There aren't too many players on our squads that could start any place else. We have to start raising athletes around here, not couch potatoes and band members.

Grant has put some very good coaches in place and he wouldn't be here without Darby so i guess Darby made a good hire. We have excellent coaches in Boys Basketball, Baseball,
had a great boys tennis coach who left, Cross county is excellent and our soccer coaches are also very good. We may lack a little in Girls basketball and softball, but not much. Overall its a great staff. Again, now all we need are some players. When Wagner had decent talent at Apalachee, decent not great, he did an outstanding job. He also did a tremendous job with their track program. Again, we just don't have athletes. I blame that on the fact that we have wiped out all the outdoor basketball courts in our area. Glenwood park used to be mobbed all the time. The courts in Statham produced athletes. Now Glenwood is gone, and the park in Statham is deteriorated. Thats where athletes are made. On the basketball courts of this country. Once athletes are developed they can branch out to other sports like football. We need athletes and we need parks where kids can play pick up basketball any hour of any day! And by the way, you say no one else would hire them. Social Circle and Dacula didn't have any problem hiring those guys.
