Yeah, amazingly coach Thomas was able to recruit state winning teams in three different towns. And so quickly get the rosters filled with all those middle schoolers they groomed for greatness. Recruiting had to be a major factor.

I agree. Dad is still listed on MSHSAA as Freshman Baseball Coach. Not sure if he still is or not.
Lol that escalated quickly. Went from watching a baseball game to blowing goats. Not sure what goes on in Linn or wherever you're from, but that does not sound like a good time.
You started the thread complaining about successful public schools, although Kearney was 5-5 for a few years like 3-4 years ago so I guess they fired those recruiters and got new ones, so I was just asking for your proof. You say Linn got athletes recruited from them, yet they have kids from Fatima that play football for them. Is that not recruiting? You still won't answer that question snowflake.
It was hiring a great, state champ HC and about as special a class of kids (2004) as anyone could ever ask for. As for perennial dumpster fire NOT in the mid-late 1980s in particular. Coach Skillman changed everything for the better and paved the road for the success KMO enjoys to this day!
I believe that was my point.... Right people at right place at the right time.... I do think HC recruit really talented assistant coaches that tends to be a factor but nothing against that.
I know Coach Rod, and Coach Mac. They aren't recruiting the area for players. They don't need to and I doubt they want to. There are not tons of transfers of older kids. Yes there are a few here and there but it's not as if Webb City is assembling these all-star teams, poaching varsity and jv starters from Carthage or Joplin or wherever.
What does happen is lots, and I mean LOTS of families move to Webb City when they have kids or their kids start school or when they are new to the area entirely. Which is, IMO, why they never seem to run out of very coachable, highly invested kids/parents on their rosters.
You pair that with good coaches and it's a recipe to win an awful lot of games. It's not complicated and it's not scandalous but it is very difficult to replicate.
Jones was the best here at picking and hiring assistants. His coaching tree is pretty darned amazing.
The only recruiter they need.
WHOA HOOOOOOOOO!!!!! BOSKO LIKEY!!!!!! Bosko FOREVER likey!!!! Happy Monday, fellas!The only recruiter they need.
Heard Zach Wilson just bought a vacation place over in Kearney.
Zach's dad...somewhere near Fishing River.
I knew a family who moved from Monett to Repmo to Staley and finally after graduation back to Monett and then to Florida, It happens.
Yeah and a family that moved from Webb City to Bixby that will presumably move back to Webb City when HS football is over.
