Bender20 Posted March 17, 2025 Share Posted March 17, 2025 (edited) The problem ain't coaching coach McDonald was a good coach. The problem is don't nobody support the school no more and move kids out. Don't nobody go to no games the stands empty last several years. Ain't no talent much after this coming year neither and aint no youth programs like they was back years ago. People done turn they back on this place. Adrian going to have do everything himself.

Adrian has the support of the administration. I think two to three years they will be back and rolling. He is excited about the future of athletics.

BigT Posted March 18, 2025 Author Share Posted March 18, 2025 I've heard for the last five years that Taylorsville's talent talent pool is gone after this year, after next year and on and on,yet they're still in the thick of it come playoff time! And yes coaching is a part of the problem ! Taylorsville has had three coaches since '20 when Mitch Evans left, Blackledge,Mcdonald, Grainger and now Agee being the fourth ,and those coaches were good coaches,but it's hard to get behind a program where head coaches change like a stoplight! You don't know what to expect, each coach has his own type of coaching and it's hard on the kids when they don't know if their coach will be there next season or not and they have to learn a new coaches way of doing things! I believe Adrian will be that stable coach they need,he already has kids coming back out to play that didn't play under Mcdonald or Grainger!! There's still talent in Taylorsville! How much? Guess we'll find out in the coming season and season to come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we'll find out in the coming season and season to come! I think it will depend on key positions. Will those smaller kids bulk up and be big as in the past where they can push teams around. Qb, Rb, WR, OL, DL will be very important. It will take a few years. Getting back to playing JDC and a few others that Taylorsville hasn't had on their schedule in recent years.

Chunky6617 Posted March 18, 2025 Share Posted March 18, 2025 Taylorsville’s JV and junior high have never been as bad as it is right now. I don’t know if their junior high has won a game in the last 2 years. But they also are in 1A now so that will help them some, but if I had to guess I would say they will probably be playing catchup to Stringer for a little while. Would not be surprised at all if stringer doesn’t beat them next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a toss up between stringer, Tville, and Lumberton. I think all will be pretty close. I don’t think they will win many non-district games. Gonna be tough.

I think they are better than what you willing to give them credit for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s is a ton of production they are losing and that Jr high program was atrocious. I can see them fighting for 2/3 in the new district. Lumberton should win the district with Tville, stringer, and maybe Resurrection fighting for 2-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lose all their playmakers but 1, and he’s rumored to be on the move after this season, although I don’t believe it and that same thing was said last year. The issue I think will be for Tville will be their depth, especially on the line. The key for Tville will be getting their 2nd string bigger and stronger. Their starters will be ok.

I think Brady will have them much improved. They were already much improved this past season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess the coach that was there last year not smart enough to know who is coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigT Posted March 20, 2025 Author Share Posted March 20, 2025 It had nothing to do with who's coming back, it had to do with dollar signs! He knew he had he had talent returning,they lost 5 SRs, actually only four, their best receiver blew out his knee during the summer and didn't play last season!

Chunky6617 Posted March 20, 2025 Share Posted March 20, 2025 Taylorsville’s best WR was Trey Barnes, then Dre Keyes. Pittman was not injured in the summer. The year before, TK Keyes blew his knee out in the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
