5x State Champions. In the words of a 2x State Champion former Head Coach at West Bolivar, “Rosedale needs a winner as a Coach.” You got that right Coach. We just different. Need a hometown person to run this program and get it back to prominence! I know the first and only call that should be made ASAP.. get your popcorn ready!

Just got a call from a 2nd School Board member. Seems like singlewing is in the minority. The truth is usually what gets quick results. Facts matter not assumptions singlewing. Keep championing this false MST perception of the mission to restore WB football to prominence while we (The Movement) keep making power moves behind the scenes! Get your popcorn ready…

I’m okay with that. Thanks for the compliments.. defend who you’re defending. Watch the live and get the truth.

Comprehend the posts.

Read the posts.

Just read the posts. I’m not making anything up. There are former head coaches and assistant coaches in the district. They’ve known probably since January they would serve as Interim coach in the spring. I’m willing to bet that if the team comes out with momentum and buy into their coaching style, philosophy then the Interim will become the head coach. It’s a selfish move but nobody can convince me since the year ended this wasn’t intentionally put in place. The players I’ve spoken to are open to the change and fully committed to playing hard for a new head coach but it’s not the person who from what I was told is serving as the Interim coach. And like I said, West Bolivar has outstanding young talent.. two former State Championship coaches who worked for many years in Rosedale coaching football and track will vouch right now based on Spring sports that there’s VERY highly skilled athletes coming up in grades 7th - 10th. Next season about 3 or 4 freshmen will start and as many as 5 sophomores. They have one rising sophomore (current 9th grader) that just absolutely dominated the track competition in the 200, 400 and Mile-Relay events before his season ended two weeks ago due to a personal matter. Not a setback but something unforeseen. He’s already gotten focused on spring football and as early as this summer this kid will start receiving D1 interest after attending camps. He is another William Lloyd and Kailo Moore skill level wise with the work ethic to match his talent. About 5’10 - 11 and the frame to put on more weight. Mark my words, if you want to know the truth just tune in to the live on Monday. West Bolivar issue is not the kids.. not the talent. The talent is high level and could be the best in the district next season.

West Bolivar starts Spring Practice on Monday. I am 100% certain that West Bolivar will have a new Head Coach in August. Also, I know the public will not even know there is a coaching search for both HS and Jr. High coaching positions. Two current starters approached me this past Thursday with the news that I’ve been speaking on for months now. I guess the community will find out who the Interim is on Monday. Truth is, the players know who is supporting them. West Bolivar is back. I spoke to one of the best football coaches in the State of MS once receiving the news. He saw West Bolivar athletes this spring and was impressed with how they competed. In the words of the 2x State Championship winning Head Coach he stated, “Rosedale needs a winner as a Coach.” Get your popcorn ready. Note: Going live on social media this Monday at practice. If anyone on MST want to watch the 5x State Champions inbox me.

Thanks for proving my point again.

Just made a power move.. you’ll hear about it. Tell me how the last two programs to win a district title or state title in athletics are having issues 1.) West Bolivar football team 2.) West Bolivar girls track team I can’t make this stuff up. Keep those emojis coming on the posts too. Lets me know the goof(ies) back lurking on SportsTalk.

No, you just want me to go back and forth with you. I’ve told you what you asked. I’ve said players at WB are actively trying to get answers to the status of their season/spring due to no off-season workouts/practices taking place. I’m not anonymous either. I don’t hide who I am. I’ve spoken to people on this subject in person within the district. Also, if you look at it since the consolidation we’ve never conducted a head coach coaching search once but have had 4 different head coaches. The last three hired in July/August. Last spring, was the first spring game the team played in three years. They barely lift weights during the summer. So instead of trying to question me maybe people like you would do something helpful and make calls to people who could help make a difference. Are you a MHSAA representative? MHSAA official? You take time to question my post constantly so perhaps you can ask the people here in the athletic administration who aren’t fulfilling their responsibilities and duties. It’s a clear breach of their job/role.

I just told you. Now if you want to hear more on that subject call the athletic coordinator for WBCSD. Maybe you can get answers around here that others been asking for months.

By title, he is.

The top athletes are still at WB. No kid is talking about going anywhere, they are asking the right questions to get a coach in place. They are focus on the spring game. And this young track team has some good athletes on it too.

Played 11 of those games with a 9th grade QB cause the starter had an ACL injury. Against Richton we had a lot of suspensions that game. Richton went on to advance to the 3rd Round of the playoffs that year if I’m not mistaken so I don’t get your point. They were playing good at the end of the season. Also, I’m saying leadership is responsible for making the right decisions. Under the most successful coaches who guided this program this would’ve never persisted long term. Kids respect people who carrying themselves as leaders and work to earn their respect. And the district titles won in 2019, 2016, and 2014 are the only district titles this school has won in any male sport since Coach Johnson left in 2012-2013. Football isn’t the issue here and it should definitely be the area where we are giving our student athletes a fair chance to compete. It would help turn the entire school culture around which benefits WB.

The reason being is that this same message I give on SportsTalk, I speak it in person. I don’t hide who I am and what I’m standing up for because at some point all people intentionally hurting kids need to be held accountable. Just look at the history of West Bolivar football. There’s no justification for how things are being done.I’m just speaking in general. Don’t let anyone convince you it is because of lack of interest in football. There are kids every single day seeking answers to why things aren’t stable with football. If there were more people showing genuine concern and empathy for these kids current situation then you would never have to here “my” and “I” from me again. Just do right by kids or as I said step aside. No school in the Delta outside of Clarksdale High and Leflore Co. have the kind of talent West Bolivar has coming up from 10th grade on down. I saw someone make a baseless claim about people picking a school site in WBCSD over WB… WB enrollment grew this school term and we have nearly 30 + more HS students than McEvans. If people gave the players and students the leadership they are asking for then we’ll be the program that can actually compete with and beat schools like Bay Springs and Hollandale. We beat Hollandale in 2019 after having a down year. Give our kids a chance is all I’m saying and the bottom line is that’s the right thing to do.

People usually say that when either 1.) the truth being spoken is a threat to them 2.) Someone they associate with is part of the issue So working with kids that are being neglected, giving them exposure that otherwise they’ll never experience, and having permission from parents who are well aware of the situation means I’m more about IE? I’ll take that any day of the week instead of doing what others have allowed to be done.

Yes, they’re WB Eagles. With these young student athletes and my leadership things are taking a turn at West Bolivar. No more sabotage. No more allowing other coaches or athletic administrators to hurt our primary sport which is football. These kids truly believe in representing West Bolivar tradition. Something happened yesterday at an athletic event that fully affirmed the powerful impact that positive well rounded mentorship, education, and IRONEAGLE athletics has in this Rosedale community. My own personal team of supporters who range from family members, coaches, school administrators, parents, colleagues, etc have told me that they’ve never quite seen young students respond to an adult male/coach without 10+ years or so of experience the way they have to my leadership. There’s no male sport coaches reaching the kids where they are and elevating them to greatness. Yesterday, several athletes approached me and our conversation is what has inspired me more than I’ve been over the past year. There’s one simple thing I’m doing better than anyone else. Listening to what they’re saying and finding solutions. I simply am showing them the true side of reality while being genuine about their future. If a kid has a future in something and we’re neglecting that opportunity for them to successfully pursue their dream then we’ve failed at our job. It’s time we step aside. Change is coming.

Just two off seasons into the movement, and IronEagle Athletics already training D1 athletes out of West Bolivar. This going to be a busy summer. 1 on 1 sessions with Position Specialists, Under Armor Representatives out of Jackson, Ms. Despite being the home of the 5x State Champions this hasn’t happened since the Coach Henry Johnson and the late Coach Leland Young eras. Producing D1 athletes! No wonder it’s a coup to keep IE off the sidelines.. they never saw this movement coming though. Nothing compares to West Bolivar football and I’m going to stay in the trenches! Get your popcorn ready. We on a new level!

Which West Bolivar school you referring to? The 5x State Champions West Bolivar formerly known as Rosedale High is home grown talent! No recruiting at all. The Jr. High and High School both loaded with talent..

Huge week of players committing to join IronEagle Athletics. Every skill player that has joined plays multiple sports.. which is the reason West Bolivar boys basketball team is playing for the district championship tonight vs. West Tallahatchie! Also I might add, the same local football Coach who I mentioned called me last year talking down on West Bolivar didn’t respond when I reached out this week after West Bolivar came in their gym and knocked off the top seed. People if we’re truly doing this for kids there’s no place for bias against a program or people associated with a school. That’s why I know for certain recruiting services, scout, etc are definitely not doing this for the right reasons. People constantly talk down on WB both on the outside and inside.. they definitely don’t want to see football get back to it glory days but it’s coming no doubt. 2025 ATH and top 5 in ‘25 MS at DB that I’ve seen after watching several on film & in person has a camp invite next week in Jackson, MS. The player deferred their spot on the top 7v7 15U team in MS to focus on track & spring football! Get your popcorn ready…

Breaking news. West Bolivar vs West Tallahatchie District Championship!

Big ANNOUNCEMENT COMING soon! West Bolivar Football/ IronEagle Athletics is a movement .

I got an idea who you are now. I agree with you on one thing you said, “nobody will tell me.” Nobody will tell me because there’s not a single person in this community.. community leader, coach, stakeholders who have the integrity to speak the truth. Nobody stands up for the players. The program has been and is being sabotaged. It doesn’t need to be saved because it’s not dead. What’s dead at West Bolivar is LEADERSHIP. Kids can’t lead themselves. At West Bolivar, football is the only sport that has who multiple district titles in the last 5 -10 years. If you think Henry Johnson can’t turn around West Bolivar.. when Tavares Johnson turned around a Simmons program that had multiple losing seasons prior to his arrival it says a lot about you not West Bolivar. And you same people saying 7v7 means nothing.. would be praising a basketball player for performing on the AAU circuit. So what you could do is keep those thoughts to yourself because I’m getting as many upcoming WB players ready for the season that is ready to put in the work prepared for the year. And they will prove you and the other folks who sitting around hoping they fail like the rest of the athletic program has FAILED wrong. Get your popcorn ready ️.

Breaking News Will West Bolivar add another BIG time upcoming underclassmen to the top 7v7 travel team in MS? 2027? 2026? Stay tuned. The 2025 prospect is arguably the top DB in the class. Get your popcorn ready️

I haven’t heard much about the Clarksdale High coaching search. Coach Johnson built a good staff there so maybe the best option is in-house. Clarksdale should still be good because the program was left in a great position under his leadership. Matter of fact, I hope some day Coach Johnson comes back to Rosedale. He should end his legacy right here at West Bolivar where it started and with the players coming up he’ll compete for another championship. Coach Johnson at West Bolivar was the best sports era Bolivar Co. and the Delta had seen since Coach Leland Young at Rosedale (West Bolivar) High back in the 80s - 90s. The sportswriters now are having to make the most basic headline out of a major story especially when it comes to basketball. If Coach Johnson comes back, just know the road to a Championship will run through Rosedale once again. Get your popcorn ready ️
