That seems a little harsh GB, I am glad someone is pumped to see Wellston on the field I can't wait myself honestly!

Ahh Midnight Madness was always fun to watch at Wellston during the Hinton era, good fun for the kids and pretty fun to watch as a parent.

It is an exciting time. So many people contributing. It's just not the players. It's truly wonderful to see.The Superintendent, School board,administration, maintenance, and people in the community working hard to improve the facilities and program. Many things about the weight room field house and...

Well Athens did it to Wellston last year... not on purpose I know but hey it can happen.

Just curious to see if anyone has seen Wellston play? Haven't been to any games but I have heard the record... are they struggling that much?

Jackson has a tough schedule in 2015. They have six home games this year, they are Wellston, Chillicothe, Wheelersburg, Grandville, Talawanda and Gallipolis. Away Games are West Jefferson, Warren, Logan and Meigs. Boy's look like the ironboy's will go 8-2 and still make the playoffs! look for a bea...

A hire once decided should be quick not drawn out less time for the kids wondering who there guy is.. turns a lot of kids away from the program too..

Well another board meeting gone by and I am yet to hear who is the new coach, does anybody know what is going on here?

This is getting a little strung out... last week I had heard this was going to be announced on Friday but due to a board member being gone they pushed it back to Tuesday of this week.. Yet to hear anything becoming a little odd now? maybe some issues with who is being hired?

With this setup Wellston Could re-arrange and move Jackson to Week 10 As a cross conference game... and for most of the teams it gives everyone a shot.... I like this

New coach isn't going to change anything..the program is a bust from jr high and up.. Actually a new coach could change things... A good program has a head coach that is willing to help the BOE select your Jr. High coaches as well as getting the younger kids excited to suit up and play the game.. A...

My understanding is, two people have already applied for the position. One is the already mentioned in another thread, Greg Phillips while the other is yet to be named?

What happened that caused the coaching stipends to be cut? They always paid assistant coaches prior to hiring Hutch didn't they? I think no assistants have been paid since the Hinton era? I do believe Wellston was in a fiscal emergency at the beginning of 2007 or 2008? which led to some cuts and th...

Personally I think you are a drunkone to be thinking that lol.. The schools aren't suffering or low on kids just athletics.

That's the main goal hopefully all goes a little more peacefully your way Dundas

Ok...some serious thoughts...... 1. I am not suggesting Wellston cancel football. But, if you are gonna have it, you have to hire and pay the coaches. I cant imagine trying to run a program with only one guy getting paid. STUPID! 2. To compete, you must develop players. Cant do that if the weight r...

Wellston BOE needs to remember. You get what you pay for . ALL of Wellston's football problems start at the top. Until Football is important to the people in charge, Wellston football will suck. Where is Wellston BOE supposed to pull this money from?? I mean yea there are a few that could take a pa...

We will have to agree to disagree on this because it is in no way a kid or his parents responsibilty to worry about tax money or or anything else except what is best for their child. The ohsaa allows for transfers and if student is willing to meet the requirements then it's up to the school system ...

I agree Wellston will come back but not until they hit bottom and I think they are not quit there yet and in the mean time kids will go where the best opportunities our for them. Burrows is going to OSU when Athens has OU why not stay home and build that program because his opportunities our better...
