Most were winning seasons and a few were like 9-1 or above 7 or 8 wins. He is a great coach. And Rodney Russell had only 1 losing season out of 12 years at LK and LC Mauriceville ( 11 at LK and 1 at LCM) Rodney was great also. And Carl Preston before the Russell's. Preston was a great coach as well. Preston was a great Coach..but he wasn't from LK. He was from Monticello if my memory serves me right. Graduated from Pine Bluff. Pretty sure Rodney went to LK though. Was Rodney on Preston's staff and took over after he left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several of LKs most successful coaches were not even from Linden. All the alumnis we've tried have had losing records. I have said the same thing we only hire people with ties to linden but I really think Greg would do a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightStar11 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Rhodney was a big believer in making you run. It got to where I dreaded seeing him. I always was fond of him though. He's a good person 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
