You're not understanding all of the meaning to my post. Some you're right about and some you are wrong about. Dudley Hilton has done beyond an outstanding job at Bell. He is an unbelieveable coach and that's not giving it justice.
I know there's several teams that have better facilities than Bell. I would loe to see upgrade their facilities. I don't know if that will happen in the near future? Doubt it will.
You don't make athletes. You make players better but you don't make athletes. Bell for years have had better all around athletes than Knox in football. You don't have a leg to stand on there. You can argue you that all you want but it will fall on deaf ears. So know, Dudley did not make them athletes. You're born with that.
Better look at what builds a program. I think we have a clue as to what builds a program. That would be something that you may need to look at. Winning for a few years does not make a program. To tell people from Bell that they need to see what builds a program is beyond laughable. I think we know. We've seen it for almost 3 decades, not years!
And numbers, please understand Bell has lost kids for years now. That will not be the all to end all for our program. More numbers would be great but to say that will hurt Bell is false. We have plenty of athletes (but all programs would love to have more) and the numbers are not a death penalty. And thanks for sparing me with the "what is coming up thing." That is one of the weakest tools for the evaluation of a programs future that is used by so many.All I have to say to this argument is, go back in the last 20 some years and look at our record from pee wee-5th and 6th and I will promise you we lost more or very close to it to these local teams in total to these local teams. That way of looking at it is ridiculous. People who don't understand why are clueless, and I hope they keep thinking the way they have.
Losing a coach the caliber of Dudley Hilton would hurt any program, not just Bell. And yeah, a bad hire would definitely hurt! How senseless is that comment? Good Lord! Listen, I'm not trying to argue with you or say you're crazy, but use a little more common sense looking at this situation or any other. Losing Dudley Hilton hurts, but Bell will not fold tent and just let these other programs take them over. If you think so then so be it. That's your privilege but I'll take my chances with Bell still be the team to beat in this area. If I'm wrong, then so be it. But, I like my chances. This guy is calling it a night....... Talk to you guys tomorrow....I hope I can sleep knowing Bell is on the verge of collapsing. But, I'll wake up in the morning, realizing we'll be just fine unless we pull some stupid moves. I don't see that happening. If so, then others will pay for those decisions in the future....

We do have athletes that are just as good as Bells. We don't go chasing kids all over the counties and the city's to make our team. My kid played basketball against Madon at Pineville in the middle school. All of our kids are from our program. IT might not be a bad ideal for Mills to get a few players on the other end of the county since Hilton has left.
