I'll brag about the junior high coaching staff at Carthage. They are an awesome group of men - in the classroom, as well as on the field. The junior high is where all the teaching begins, coaching the boys to play as a team. Not taking anything away from the high school coaches - who are just as great - but the state championship won at the high school level this year began at the junior high. They just finished the job up there!
I'm glad this thread was started (back in October). I don't think junior high coaches get anywhere near the credit they deserve for their hard work and dedication - all the hours they put into teaching, coaching, scouting, breaking down game films, etc. In fact, most the time they are completely overlooked and underappreciated. And that's a shame.
