Recently Bob Dylan was found wandering around an Atlantic City motel without ID and was stopped by a 24 year old policeman who had no idea who he was; Bob's words run true, "The Times They Are A-Changin". Change in the sports world is certainly the one constant you find. Who was hot last year doesn't mean they'll be hot this year. In professional sports players change teams as often as they change their clothes.
This year for Clay Center Tiger Sports; 'The Times They Are A-Changin'. There have been two head coaching changes already made and one more yet to take place. Football and Wrestling have new leaders for their programs; boys basketball will before the start of their season.
As Football Fridays get closer to kicking off; excitement certainly grows and preparations for being on the air with the KCLY Grid Iron Gang takes up more and more of my day. Todd Rice takes over the Tiger Football program this year. I enjoyed the chance to meet with him a few minutes; I have enjoyed the positive comments I hear about what he has been accomplishing thus far and I look forward to building our relationship in the Tiger Sports family.
I will also miss though working with Former Head Coach Paul Lane. He along with Larry Wallace Jr. and Mike Hays gave up their coaching positions following last year's season. They gave an enormous amount of their time, energy and passion for football and young people to this program. As a broadcaster (and a junior high football coach) I appreciated them accepting me into their football family as one of their own; as a friend I appreciate their work in developing good young men and putting those kids first; and as a parent I'm glad Zach had the chance to be under their direction during his high school career. I know they are looking forward to seeing the guys they coached with that are on this staff and the new members of the staff having great things happen with Tiger Football; Tiger football and the young men who play it are what they are all about. I too am fired up to get this season going...but Coaches Lane, Wallace and Hays I'll miss working with you and seeing you on the sidelines; thanks for all you've done for Tiger Football!

I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your website. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come
here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
Exceptional work!

I'm not sure exactly why but this blog is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end? I'll check back later on
and see if the problem still exists.
