But their junior high bunch was good and I think their Varsity was just really young. Wish them well. Looking forward to playing them Week 5!

More like a "rich history of mediocrity". Were "great" with Rodney Thomas. If they get the right candidate they have a great chance to have a good season followed by a poor season on a consistent basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all agree that many decades ago, Groveton was very good (similar to Hull Daisetta). Wondering about the timeframe that most in the forum were alive or able to drive a car. Call it the last three decades which should give us a good perspective on the track record. How many times has Groveton had three consecutive winning seasons? If the answer is somewhere around "0" or "1", we can discern that Groveton has a modern history of "mediocrity". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get the right candidate they have a great chance to have a good season followed by a poor season on a consistent basis. This is a strange hill to die on... You took exception with a post that claimed "a rich history of excellence," offering the counterexample of the Rodney Thomas era (late 1980s), but when evidence proved the initial poster's point, you then shifted goalposts to represent "the last 30 years," and then again shifted to the strange qualifier of "a good season followed by a poor season."

What's really your beef with Groveton? Agreed, Initial post acknowledged that Groveton was "great" with Rodney Thomas and later clarified that they were very good several decades ago. In the last three decades they have been mediocre. Not much, just three consecutive decades of mediocrity but they were the picture of "excellence 30-60 years ago". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so the initial poster's point stands. Got it. A "rich history of excellence" can mean anything from "excellence 30-60 years ago" to a sustained winning record for the last 30 years. This is rural 2A ball we're talking about here. It's all subjective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
