Wellston 16

4:04 1Q

Alright on to week 2, Wellston at Piketon. My understanding is this will be Piketons first game on new turf so they should come out amped up after a week 1 win over south point. Wellston got to finish up a much needed end to a one sided rivalry. I see the Rockets struggling in a few of the same area...

Unfortunately this game played out about how I figured. Rocket offense was lost all night, a lot of false starts, line couldn’t pick up the blitz or keep Jackson D-line out of the back field. Jackson absolutely dominated both sides of the line of scrimmage even when Wellston still had fresh legs. De...

Alright now with all the jamboree stuff over it is time for one last go around. After watching the Rockets last night I can say the offense is finally resembling something modern and it does put their best athletes in space to try to make something happen. With that being said they still need to fin...

Wellston looks to just stay healthy once they fall a few scores behind if it just isn’t their night, if they play tough and hang around I see them using everything they have to pull the upset off like 2010. Good luck to both teams!

I’m not concerned about the numbers in the late 2000’s/ early 2010’s it wasn’t uncommon for Wellston only to field about 35 or less kids. It happens.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see some very positive flashes of talent and potential but the coaching change will be too much to overcome I see a building block year of 4-6 to 5-5 with the bulk of the wins at the end of the season. I look forward to it though as I’ve been hearing very positive things a...

What does the upcoming junior varsity/varsity look like this year. Any stand out positions. What was the Jv wins/ losses in 2018? The JV had some pretty good athletes. Unfortunately two of the 5-6 I expected to see on Friday nights will not be returning to my knowledge. 1 of them being the Mercer b...

Well I am being told only 3 home games for the rockets this year due to a "Major" re-design of CH Jones field.... Could be a tough first year for a new coach. I say 4-6 or 5-5 if this is true. Wellston had 6 home games last season and will have 4 this year. That happens from time to time....

The site at the high school was recommended at tonight's board meeting. So no renovations of CH Jones Field. Costs of the project will determine whether a new football stadium and track or just track will be built. Very interesting... gotta feel bad for the seniors that had a schedule decided befor...

Coach Smith will do a good job-nice hire. I would say the one he has as an assistant will also do a good job. Just a question about the current football field and stadium. When did Wellston start playing football at the current field or location? Just wonder since my Dad went to Wellston High Schoo...

Anything official?

Yes, he was officially hired at last nights board meeting.

I played for Hutch and was on the 2010 team, take away a couple injuries and couple breaks that didn’t go our way and we finish that season 6-4 or 7-3. In my honest opinion 2011 team was way more talented, especially if a couple of guys would of stuck around instead of transferring or quitting. just...

Looks like "Ole Dutch" held pace with the best of the best at Wellston in the last 12 seasons. I would like to see what the records have been since 2000. Hinton 2004: 7-4 or 8-3? Can’t remember off the top of my head 2005: 5-5 2006: 7-4 19-13 or 20-12 depending on 2004 correct record. fir...

Go after Heath Hinton. Bring him back and let him build the program again.

Chris Graham? I’d take Yates or Downs before anyone already in the district. It’s always a shot in the dark at a small school but this is getting crazy. If Graham applies and gets it I hope for the best but I’d like to see someone with a little bit of varsity experience and a track record of trying...

Honestly, who the heck knows.. maybe they should of stayed with Hutch? Pretty crazy they can’t keep a coach. If Administration is trying to kill a program they are doing a good job of it. Since 2006 Wellston has had 2 .500 seasons.
