Just call the GOAT and see if he'll come back to lead the Bearcats.

Never mind. Just saw SHS got the Clinton coach lol

C’mon!!! LOL

Yes. Co-HCs

I have to agree. Not sure how this causes chaos or makes anyone mad. I think Lampley is deserving and will fit in but this isn't the splash we were all expecting.

This is a great hire!

Looking at it through a different lens now I think it’s a few things. Depth . Not a lot of upper class men and the youth were getting manhandled. Assistant coaching but some of that lies at the people like myself running the job down but the lion’s share of that blame is Hathorne. Nobody likes this micromanaging prick. My stance on him hasn’t changed. Time. Hankins wants his team to go through the offensive line first . It’s taking time to get enough to fill that part. Like I said above though when a kid looks me in the eye, shakes my hand, answers me yessir, no sir and gets out of his seat to let a young lady sit down well then we can build on that kind of leadership

I honestly believe that the vast majority of high school coaches deeply care about their players. They spend two or three times longer with players than with their own kids everyday. Some are better than others when it comes to caring for the community but most are great guys that would give their players everything possible for them to be successful in life.

Slick I told you he’s a really good guy who goes above and beyond for his kids. We are all bleacher coaches at times and second guess coaching. The one thing you can’t second guess is what he does for some of the players who have nobody else to do for them. I’ve been there when the coaches would say ok I’m going to take this one home you take that one. We’re talking miles and miles a week because otherwise they would not make it to practice. I showed up at the ER one night because our longtime manager JP who was in bad shape. Who beat me there? Coach Hankins heck I have even been going through some health issues who always texts or calls to check on me it Coach Hankins. I always thank him and he always says you’re War Eagle Family. We at WC have been spoiled through the years by winning. Things got off track before Coach Hankins got here, people just don’t realize how far off track. I do believe he’s righting the ship but my ultimate compliment would be I would definitely won’t my son to play for him.

Great Post!!! I don't know the guy but I think this post shed light on the fact that wins are great and something to strive for, but for the high school coach ( the good ones anyway ) it can be more than ball.

From all accounts it was supposed to have good attendance being planned for so I guess it went well I haven't really heard anything. As some here know I have been limited in moving about as I once had . This was pretty much most of last year . So much so i had only been to Waynesboro two times max during that time period, Those trips consisted of me taking care of the business of keeping property up to date and not putting boots on the ground so to speak. . Outside of coming across the so called Supt briefly ( I still consider him to be a self serving bum ), I didn't have any contact with anyone stirring the sauce so to speak. These next thoughts are not easy for a someone with as much pride as I have been cursed or blessed with, take your pick, to make known. Nevertheless when a power greater than yourself reveals something to you , only a fool would not see the direction this was steering them down. Being wrong is something everyone is faced with frequently. To truly move forward you have to be willing to admit it at least internally . Very recently I spent an extended time up there and without going into specifics I was hit in the face by this very thing. It's true that Wayne County has not had success on the field . While wins would have been nice those need to be as a result of the progress . Coach Jack Hankins has been out front taking the arrows for theses kids . Arrows shot by people like myself. Man was I ever wrong . I called good , bad, and from ancient times we have been told to refrain from this. I will be judged for it one day. The man laid his guts out for me to see. There is no doubt that his selflessness is evident in the kind of young man he is putting out. I seen it first hand. He is the only anchor a lot of these kids have. He puts that first. Above on how he is viewed by the vast majority. Wayne County and Waynesboro are both crime infested traps for the young men there right now. He's the only way out for many that have the deck stacked against them from day one. Without going too long I do apologize to Coach Hankins. I hope he doesn't leave anytime soon. It may shock some but if he doesn't win another game I don't care. My point of view has changed rapidly .He's doing the dirty work that most men or coaches wouldn't touch and bailed out a long time ago. Really an almost thankless job. Wanting to hoist titles is a bridge too far right now as I see it. A lot of dirty hands in my hometown as to the overall state of things but the man that has the HC position isn't one of them. As was said to me there may not be an answer but all you can do is try to keep dipping water out of the boat as it spills in or it will rapidly sink to the bottom. It may wind up there anyway.
