Well here we are on the first Friday of post season. Helias, Blair Oaks, Rock Bridge and Battle still playing. JC sitting at home polishing helmets as usual. Time for some changes folks...actually way past time. It’s all just so sad..

You already posted this. And at least one part is no longer true. Rock Bridge is done.

I, for one, love it. New schools (or some who have not won in awhile) with a shot at the C4 semifinal is GOOD for the sport. Hannibal also got blown out tonight so change in D7-8 is definitely in the wind.

Yes RB is done but the others play on... must be nice!
Of course, no district championships here since at least 2008. How long must this agony go on? Must we wait until we’re too old to care anymore? Ohh the humanity...

Your passion is outstanding but I would probably suggest not publicly calling for the HC's head. This is just high school and you are talking about someone's career. Not like these guys are paid millions like those spoiled bleeps in the NFL.
 
Forgive me if I don't shed a tear for ole Jeff City. There's more than a lifetime of great history there. With the new school starting that may be all you have for a while.
Glory is fleeting for everyone. Even Webb feels it on occasion. Adkins will always be known as one of if not THE top HCs in the history of this great sport in MO.

He did take a crapload of money with the expectation of returning the program to what it used to be

Cards is right that split is coming. We all have seen what happened in CoMo when Battle opened...........as for the HC they still make a minor amount compared to even college coaches. Again I do like his passion that is what being a fan is all about.
 
Not asking for a return to the Adkins days. That is unlikely and an unfair burden to put on anyone.
But, really, 3-7 with this talent? 4-8 postseason in 12 years? TWELVE? If this was year 3 or 4 or 5 I would not speak of it. But 12 years is a long time and this is what we’re left with?
Please tell me: How long should a school wait before they make a change?

Laguna hate to tell ya but it can get worse. If you would have told me as a Joplin Parkwood guy that we wont be able to compete with the states top teams for 25/30 YEARS I would never have believed it. We have lost lots of families to Carl Junction and Webb City but its like that in every town. People move to smaller schools around the larger towns. Springfield has Nixa who has exploded and Ozark. Jeff has Blair oaks and Helias. Anyway It has sucked. lol
Now I will say a lot of the time unlike jeff city, we just didn't have the jim's and joe's.

I get Sedalia wasn’t a Jeff City but that district was on Johnson’s ass. The most winning coach in Sedalia history. Everyone thought Boyer was going to leave his mark and he did if you count the ridiculous Class 2 and 3 schedule. Rob Davis is the worse AD any school could ever posses. Blame him for the Sedalia embarrassment. Maybe someone could call Johnson out of retirement. McFail isn’t the answer either.

What ever, sleep it off.
 
Sunday night update:
Here we sit thinking about how great it must feel to be a fan of Helias and Blair Oaks. Still playing for a district title, something we at JC haven’t experienced since 2008 ( when this year’s seniors were in 3rd grade).
There is no joy at Adkins Stadium these days. Just doom and gloom... ohh how we are sad all the time...
 
FYI, MSHSAA considers districts the playoffs (and rightly so, otherwise the first round of the playoffs would be the semis for Class 6 teams like JC).

Wednesday afternoon here at Adkins stadium. Very lonely and quiet. No practice or any activity. This is now routine in November around here as post season passes us by yet again. It’s all just so sad...

So in your opinion, only four Class 6 teams “make the post-season”?
 
Just heard this on the radio.
Sung to the tune of “Another Saturday Night” by Sam Cooke:

“Another Friday night and we ain’t got no game,
We just got beat like we always do,
How I wish we had some game to go to,
Our program’s just a mess.”
(repeat refrain until August)
 
Man Laguna75, hadn't heard from you for more than 24 hours so was starting to worry. Hang in there - better times ahead (surely).

Who is Johnson? Where is he from?

Retired Sedalia Smith-Cotton HC who took a perennial loser (like three winning seasons in thirty years before his arrival) and turned them into a conference and district champion. Before his Sedalia miracle, he was HC @ Monett HS in So. Missouri…also very successful there.
