SiriusDogon7 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Allegedly, King came in to the position saying that he was going to change the culture at L.E. That surely happened as they went from a perennial playoff team to a winless team in 2019 and that team had tons of talent. They had probably the most brutal schedule of any 4A team in state but they were better than the 0 - 10 record. I had the opportunity to be on campus and witnessed a lack of discipline from football players in the hallways and classrooms. Also, they are losing very good players to other city teams, most notably to P.G. On YouTube check out the 8th grade L.E. vs P.G. 2019 game that was played at L.E. The big running back for P. G. was once in the L.E. schools and the qb for L.E. is now at P.G. The big receiver for L.E. was blocked from transferring to P.G. I'm not saying at all that P. G. is recruiting but only that due to the state of affairs at L.E., players are leaving. There were some very good options, other than coach King, that may have had better success with the program. Coach Davis was one and another was a former L.E. player and alum. Due to prior acquaintances, King had the inside track on the position. Hopefully they will get it right this time and maybe Davis can get it done. The program has been hurt and it may take a long time for it to recover, if ever. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearKat Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I can't believe LE football has declined this fast and there is such little interest. I remember back a couple of years ago and this thread would have page after page. Only 9 responses is just sad I wish Coach Davis the best, hopefully he can turn it around! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimbodine Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 They should come back, however, for many, many years L-E was lousy and lucky to win half of their games. It was stupid to schedule the difficult schedules they have had the last couple of years. I could see where transfers would be a problem with L-E. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

36gut Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I have no idea whether it's desirable or not. What has happened to that school (I know it's probably not the only issue with the program) reminds me of the lyrics of a Johnny Rivers song. Maybe they'll be able to welcome the players they've lost to "that rich guy" someday. Poor Side of Town Johnny Rivers How can you tell me how much you miss me When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me That rich guy you've been seein' Must have put you down So welcome back baby To the poor side of town To him you were nothin' but a little plaything Not much more than an overnight fling To me you were the greatest thing this boy had ever found And girl it's hard to find nice things On the poor side of town I can't blame you for tryin' I'm tryin' to make it too I've got one little hang up baby I just can't make it without you So tell me, are you gonna stay now Will you stand by me girl all the way now Oh with you by my side They just can't keep us down Together we can make it girl From the poor side of town (So tell me how much you love me) (Come be near to me and say you need me now) Oh, with you by my side This world can't keep us down Together we can make it baby From the poor side of town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldhornet Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Davis is a very good man. However if PG keeps taking all the elite athletes out of the city then LE will continue to struggle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
