I think only 6 wins this year so far with a very young team. Also lost two sophomore starters with injury.  So I would say he has had a rough season. Parents have not made the season any easier for him.
I guess that goes along with losing games. But from my point of view, he is doing the best he can with what he has. You can always find a way to second guess any coaching moves. I refuse to do that. (anymore!  ;D )

It's very difficult for a new coach to come to a new school and have immediate success. Add to that, injuries to starters and it becomes even harder. What I do know, is this. Coach Gholson has been coming to the Jr High practices and relaying to the coaches at that level the kind of things that he wants them to work on. I was pleased to see that. Lumberton parents have had great expectations as most parents do. A recent trip to the State Tournament makes those expectations grow. I hope we can have patience enough to give this coach a chance. It is easier for me to say this with my girls being in Jr high. I feel for the seniors and all of the girls that are trying very hard to turn things around in L-town. Keep your chin up girls and keep trying hard!

Hey Poppabearstar there is a lot of drama on the boys side. Why can't we just all get along. ;D ;D ;D This team is better than that team and this kid is better than that kid. Wow, the message board has moved to a new deminsion it is called the twilight zone.

  Listen to the coach and play hard...simple enough.

I got a chance to see the Lumberton Jr high play @ LC last night.  Who is the LJH point guard #10?  I was very impressed with her play.

I have been watching this team all year long.  it is very sad that the lady raiders lost their two best players to injury, but i don't really think it is making that big of difference. 

without bashing the coach too much, i will just say that he  is WAY too involved with the parents.  i know lumberton has a reputation for delusional parents, and this case is no different.  it's sad when a coach is so easily influenced by parents who can not recognize that they are hurting the team with their desperate pleas for their child's playing time.

i feel bad for the young girls who have no business on the varsity floor yet.  i guess it is good that they are getting some experience this season.  all i know is, it's very painful to watch.  it's almost like the coach doesn't have any method to his madness.  the girls don't work on shooting or dribbling fundamentals in practice and it really shows in the games.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.

      Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up.

      Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived?

      We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
