Less than a month away from Spring Football and the hits just keep coming

One of the things that I love about Ethel High School is that it's small. I went to a small school and I like knowing everyone.
From a coaching stand point it can be a little frustrating. Here's an example -- Attala County is full of woody, undeveloped land. While the school is located in the small town of Ethel, most of the students live in those wooded areas. My point is there aren't lots of places to live. We don't live in the county school district because we couldn't find a place to live.
So the comings and goings of students is a bit normal and when you are the football coach, it's tough.
Case in point -- Today, two students will be moving to Kosciusko due to home life issues. They just both happen to play football and do a pretty good job of it.
They both have been in athletic study hall with the coaches trying to help them with their grades.

Then, you have the school off the Natchez Trace Parkway that tries to lure our kids to come play over there even though you aren't suppose to recruit.

And last but not least, the bad grades. I've never seen so many kids with problems with grades. That's another entry for another time.

I just pray everything works out and that maybe Spring practice will go well.  It's only a month away.

Oh the joys of the being the coach's wife.
