For a 3A school Warrens football crowds are marginal at best. With our demographics , lack of industry and no public housing we’re going to have a hard time attracting the numbers of athletes it takes to be successful in football at the 3A level. Just by numbers alone it doesn’t take as many athletes to compete in basketball and baseball. I wish Warren nothing but the best in their search for a new AD/HC in football by I honestly don’t think the lack of coaching abilities has been the reason for our dismal showing on the field.

However, the kids have to want to put in the extra work. Newton graduates this Friday and the kids that will be coming back next year will be in the weight room next week just as they have been doing since the end of football this year. Newton competes in powerlifting every year and have several coaches coaching powerlifting. Does Warren have a powerlifting program? Powerlifting is required for all football players and a record is kept on the progress of each player. Powerlifting and success go hand in hand when all the kids buy into it. I just looked at the THSPA website for the last 2 seasons and couldn't a find a boy's name associated with Warren. Places like Warren need powerlifting to be able to try and get their kids competitive and to try and build something on the boy's side that has some success. They could also use that on the girl's side as well. I hope they're able to find a person that will buy in and help to overcome the inadequacies of genetics and apathy. When you've got a gene pool that can't compete as they get off the bus you've got to have heart and work ethic and when you have a track record of what Warren does it tends to show the kids aren't getting the foundational base they need to be able to overcome their lack of athleticism (that comes from home). In a lot of ways, at least in football, I see Warren a lot like Huntington. They never made the play-offs and the 1st 2 years they did all they did is have kids complain about having to be in football for another week.

He's also been at Lamar, Colorado State, Florida and SFA since at Warren. Great guy and coach, I just believe Warren is a tough place to win in football. Not saying it isn't a great place because I've never been there just seems tough to win. whsalum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen Warren field excellent baseball and softball teams in the not so distant past. They also put some solid basketball teams on the hardwood a few years back under Leland Hand and Chris Carter. I’m just throwing a suggestion out there. Everyone always says hire a AD/HC in football and it may be time to rethink those hires. Not saying this wouldn’t work in Warren… but has this ever worked out for the better anywhere else?

It appeared you were talking about football head coaches at Warren. If you were not, then never mind. But, if you were then that was what the "who" was for.

Coach Ramsey who went to the staff at WOS , Coach Barbay who still is an OC at the collegiate level and the young guy who left to be the AD/HC at Lumberton. I don’t know any of their career records at Warren but all 3 are pretty solid football coaches. I think their success after leaving Warren would back that up. I believe TJ was the only one to make the playoffs in Warren . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
