[watcher]

I got to watch Middlesboro Friday. They will struggle this year. I do think they will improve over time. The program was in very bad shape. I do think they are headed in the right direction. I am still shocked French chose to go there knowing the shape of the program the last 4 or 5 years. If their fan base will be patient this year and the AD and Super continues to give the support they have this past year you will see them very competitive in the future. It will not be over night but will happen. I know they will be some that will expect instant success but that is folks that do not know much about football. That is my opinion from what I have observed. I will continue to support the kids and hope them the best. I love to see all the mountains teams be competitive. Everyone can't have a Belfry program but hope them all the best.
