Shout Out on Great Seasons

[Depth of Knowledge]

Chris Cavanaugh of the Warrensburg Tigers

After building Crest Ridge into a Class 1 perennial powerhouse Coach Cavanaugh left this past summer to take over Class 4 Warrensburg and in his first year at the helm netted a 5-5 record and the best season since the 2011 campaign. Congrats and great job!

Jake Vencill of the Windsor Greyhounds

In Coach Vencill’s second season at the helm the 8-3 Greyhounds produced their best record since the 1989 season of 8-2. It is only the 5th winning season since 1989 (93, 99, 03, 12, 17) and only the 5th time since 1949 the program has broken the 7 win barrier. The Greyhounds also went an entire season without an opponent obtaining a running clock on them for the first time since the 1993 season. All three Greyhound loses were to 10 win teams (Adrian 10-1, Crest Ridge 10-1, Lincoln 10-0) and by very competitive margins. Congrats and great job!

So which one are you, Vencill or Cavanaugh?

Shout out to Coach Fabion at Excelsior Springs. Back to back winning season, 7-3 in 2017, 6-4 in 2016. Only three winning seasons in the previous 12 years prior to the coach taking over. And no, I'm not Fabion.

Crest Ridge was a perennial powerhouse?

I was thinking the exact same thing......

 

[touchdownsilly]

3 coaches new to their schools showed some impressive improvement in the west central area. Warsaw went from 0-10 to 5-6, Knob Noster went from 2-8 to 5-6 and Smith-Cotton went from 5-6 to 9-1.

I think they stepped into a favorable schedule. A few close wins over mediocre opponents won't help you step to the top of Webb's district.

I heard they have a good Weight Program.

I heard Booster Bosco is providing some special "funding" for the program.

They have won a lot of I-70 conference games over his time there. That isn't saying much lately though.

yes it will, just not immediately. Any coach will tell you that winning a few games, even if its against bad teams, will lead to improvement. Success breeds success, lack of success breeds low numbers, lack of commitment to the process, and lack of confidence in a schools ability to win.

 

[BoosterBosko]

I heard Booster Bosco is providing some special "funding" for the program.

Ok buddy! For starters, my name is BOSKO!!! Second, Im not really sure what you mean by "special funding." My booster club is financed and backed by 100% legitimate donations and fundraising!

I run a clean ship here in Ampipe! Will I run a coach out of town? You bet! Will I set hot headed teens straight? Without hesitation! Take a hot donation or illegal funds? No way Jose!!!
