Almost certain they won’t. Most of their better kids go to Varina or HS. Was a huge reason Glasco left. Henrico, Herm and Tucker will all be about the same.
mostly HS. That is why they are now C6 and Henrico C4
Excellent points. I read that Holmes is apart of the English department and is an admin aide , meaning he’s a true educator and he’s going to do things by the book. “He’s a high character discipline guy” 👏🏽👏🏽. That’s the biggest hurdle at a school like Henrico so I love where the program could potentially land. As you said, it’ll take him some time to put his stamp on things. Losing culture, weeding out the knuckleheads (not the kids, the football coaching staff), player retention rates, being consistent, etc. If you judge Henrico off of 7 on 7, most would think they’re a state contender. Shows that they have some talent in that program, just needs some discipline and structure to take them to that next level.
Well stated. I was flabbergasted to watch the Henrico coaching staff. There was no coordination by the staff. Every coach, of which they had way too many, were freelancing, even contradicted each other frequently. There was not much guidance or direction being provided to the players.
You’d think Henrico County Public Schools would do a better job of background checks on who they let around the student athletes but unfortunately, if it’s not happening at Deep Run, Freeman or Godwin issue, it’s not important. They let a lot of pieces of 💩 around the kids at some of those schools.
I can't speak for Henrico, but you are right. So many teams have negative coaches and hang-ons guys. It starts at the rec league level and if the HS head coach allows it it's on. Unfortunately, it's part of the athletic culture. Players get sucked in and can't think for themselves. It has ruined a lot of careers early in the past 15 years. That's exactly why the right choice for a coach or leader is so important.
I’ve always believed that head and assistant coaches should be educators or work in some capacity within the school system or local government (policeman, fireman, hell pay our Veterans to coach these kids). It’s some wicked stuff that goes on within these programs that let any and everybody coach these kids.
