Thank you Sir! You are a class act! I am not in anyway offended by people's predictions no matter what they are, I know we are huge underdogs, I got no issue with honesty, I was just addresing my boys who get on here and read the posts that ridicule what my boys have accomplished this year.

Belfry deserves the respect they get!!! I got much respect for Belfry and their coaching staff!!! I have seen a state semi game at Belfry before, and it was one the best atmosphere's I have been to for a football game!! Passion and Pride!!

We are hoping to get there some day at JCHS, as a coaching friend of mine always says "we will keep chopping wood until we get a wood pile," this years group has been chopping and I am proud of them for that, this team is like family to me!!

Best wishes to you my friend!!!

I wish you and your team all the luck in the world brother. You and Coach Shear are doing a great job. I also know that you are doing Gods work at every turn and that in itself is what makes all the difference. It's not always easy to coach in programs like ours but watching The kids grow through hard work and seeing how the influence of God can change their lives is always worth it and it always makes those condescending remarks from people who knows nothing about being part of a program like ours mean very little. But, I do know how it makes you feel as you can't help but think you have to stand up for your kids. Just remember those who usually post in that manner are usually ignorant so the don't have the mental capability to understand how mere words can effect the young men that play this great game! When you read those types of remarks brother just take a deep breath and follow our Lord and Saviors example; when he had been beaten, ridiculed, spat upon and nailed to the cross he was gracious enough to look to God and say "forgive them father for they know not what they do!" It's hard for us, with the nature of man in us, to forgive but it is necessary for us to work toward forgiveness with everything we have! Coach you are my friend and more important you are my Brother in Christ, please tell those young men you coach that I am proud of how hard they have worked and how much they have accomplished because I 100% understand what it has taken for them to get to this point! Have safe travels and an injury free game. I will pray for both Jackson Co and Belfry for tonight's game to be played hard nosed with great sportsmanship and for it to be injury free. Coach "keep chopping wood" ( that's a great saying I think I may use that one myself. LoL!) god Bless you brother!
