ITC has every line-up for every school within the local area. It's whiteboard looks like a giant Microsoft excel sheet. ITC also has at least two derivations of line-ups for each team. ITC's network, software, and charts are amazing. They actually already have the sectional brackets filled out, and yes, that IS before the selection meeting. It's some kind of Jedi-mind trick stuff. Intense... Like camping!
112in84: The Port is now considered a "non-funded varsity sport". Everything but one thing will remain the same. The one difference... the head coach will not get paid. Hence, my moving on. My brother (cruiser_94) is staying on. And the crazy thing... just about everything we wanted for the past ten years is starting to fall into place - I mean, other than the not being paid bit. My brother has had a core of 5 guys making weight lifting at least 4 days a week. This week he has seen 7 kids each day. 8am to 9:30am, weight lifting followed by drilling. We didn't get those kind of numbers at an open mat once a week!!! Now he is getting them on a daily basis. Also, there is a very good chance that the auditorium stage all winter, but maybe even as early as September!!! A PHYSICAL PRESENCE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?! Amazing!!!!!! We haven't has that since the 1993-1994 season!
Also, my aim is to apply for the Pickerington North JH (Lakeview) job. Their most recent coach is taking a step back, so I'm going to attempt to fill those shoes. Tall task from what I recall about Lakeview. One nice thing will be the drive to and from the school. It'll be half the drive than The Port! I hope I can remain presentable for the duration of the interview process!
