Floating boat that is now sinking? didn't win region the year before he became head coach? Then after 4 years of head coach they won state...Last two years has not been all that great agreed but Coach Strickland will do a good job at BHP. Yes they are loaded in talent but have not won anything beyond a region championship...Will be interesting to see if he can take them to the next step. Under coach strickland in 8 years won 4 region championships, 2 upper state championships, 2 state championships (1 dual and 1 traditional), and 5 final 4 apperances....He also has coached numerous individual state championships...Not really a sinking ship...Had one losing season 2 years ago but was decimated with injuries....Once they got healthy seems that they did knock off #1 seed Woodruff, right? Last year had tremendous problems with lack of wrestlers' dedication, veteran kids skipping practice, etc. Hopefully Coach Martin will have a group come back through CHS that was dedicated to the sport as they once were. He is a good coach and will do well I think. I will tell you no HS coach, especially outside of Football, coaches for the money....The time spent versus the money made are you crazy...I am sure coach strickland enjoyed his time at CHS but who can blame him moving to the school he graduated from and where he lives....He did a lot of good things for Crescent not really fair of you to come on here anonomously and try to bash him...You must have been a never was for him, ex-tiger. That is a cowardly way to bash someone. I doubt seriously you would do it to his face.
