The turning point of your program's recent run or decline?

[Guest Kelly Football]

Since two a days is almost here and the off-season is almost mercifully over. I though of a pretty good off-season question.

My question concerns your programs turning point. What game, hire or play turned the pendalum upward or downward for you program which could be for a season or for a decade or two.

Hmmm... Perhaps the hiring of Dan Hooks

Pinpointing a specific season, it would have to be 1983 or 1985. The first was our only losing season. The second was the year we lost to a tough Yates team in the regionals. It was our best season to that point, but, more importantly, there was definitely the feel that something special was starting. In the 21 years that have followed, we've only lost 15 district games - and we had an undefeated district record in two-thirds of those years (14 seasons). Four finals appearances and two titles over that span and the best winning percentage of any school in any classification.

Pendalum, heck we're still looking for the clock.

Coach Moody is turning the LCM program around. Takes time but since he's arrived it's headed in the right direction.

Dayton was 9-41 over a 5 year period.  Coach Stewart took over the program and they have been in the playoffs 11 years in a row.  Won district lots of times.

When Neumann took over Nederland that was our turnaround.

The drop from 3A to 2A. It gives the kids a chance every week.

The class of 2007, that group turned it around for the Pirates.
