How many D1 athletes have come out of the WRC?  Only one that I know of that went anywhere and actually competed on the field was Josh Smith. I know a couple others have gone, but ended up leaving or just never played. 

So if Moore is such a horrible coach, how is it that he went to a 6a school and led them to their first winning season in almost 10 yrs?  Do we all forget the season he spent up at Jeff where he turned an 0-10, 1-9 team into and 8-3 team in one season?  Now that team seems to be rolling. If he was truly a talent chaser, wouldn't he have stayed in the big school that seems to have had a good talent pool?  Just curious.

This could make for some good conversations. Name some of the former coaches from your school. If they are still coach we’re are they now. Also add any assistants if you want. 

Rockville

The great Jay Barrett RIP went to W vigo

Dan Vukovits went on to be an assistant I believe at TH north, North Putnam, and South Vermillion. 

Assistant Jim foster, not sure he coached at a varsity level after his stint with Vuk. Coaches a lot of other sports. Great guy.

Assistant John Barnes the coach that most players feared but he would do anything for you if you worked hard and showed respect. One of the most knowledgeable football minds around. Know he spent some time at Turkey Run, surprised some doesn’t have him on the side lines now.

Herb King of course went to Seeger.

assistant John Batty, went on to be head coach at Rockville. 

Assistant Steve Jones spent a lot of time scouting. Very football smart. 

Batty left Rockville, I believe kids go to Riverton Parke district. I believe he might of coached daughter in basketball? Surprised he isn’t helping RP

Assistants Neeley, Bettis, Clapp? Some of these have move on and stayed with Moore. 

Moore of course now. 

Im sure I am missing a lot of assistants and maybe a head coach. Was out of the area for 4 or 5 years? 

Also who remembers Saturday morning Coaches Corner? I believe they use to go to Janet’s? In Montezuma and recap all the Friday night games. Jim Jerome did an awesome job with that. Coaches would exchange game tapes there also. Most coaches would bring one or two players with them. We got our 15 mins of fame. We would all sit around the locker room eat donuts and talk about all the “great” plays we made, while  we listened to the radio show. I believe they ended this around 93/94?  Wish we still had something like that now. There is my blast from the past. 

 

 

Wish they would bring back the Saturday morning radio show. It was always nice to hear the coaches get together and talk about the games and upcoming schedule. Nothing like piling around the radio in the weight room Saturday morning and listening. Though I do believe it went on a little later into the 90s. Maybe 96?

Mark Bless was a hell of a coach. Did He end up around Indy?

Yes, he went to Mooresville and is now at Avon and doing well. 

Will Linton be streaming this game by chance?  Asking for a friend out of state.
