Thanks for the update.

NA?

Why would North Augusta hire a coach that has a .567 winning pct and leaves for a new job every 3 years! DUMB!! SMH

That school needs a stable environment and someone who can rebuild the relationship between the community and the school. Hope the booster club isn't involved with this hire like they were with the last one! Total TRAIN WRECK especially when no one will admit why the previous coach resigned!!

NA?

That is where he appears to be headed. Not sure what shape the program is in. Told the DC was fired halfway through the year, and then the HC resigns. And he hadn't been there too long. Was surprised that Thompson resigned when he did. Maybe it is just a hard place to coach. But NA seems like it could be a good place if they get things straightened out. Always seem to have talent.

I agree with what you're both saying. We had some stability in the program with Coach Thomas but certain people weren't happy with him. There were changes made here in 2013 and at the end of the year Pippin and the baseball and basketball coaches all left. Pippin had our program in a great position. Football games were fun to go to before those changes. We had a flyover and game ball drop for the first football game, motorcycles circled the field every game, T shirts shot into the crowd at halftime and a game ball raffled off at every game. After the changes were made all of this stopped. I don't have to guess as to why this happened, I know why! I'm hoping what I've heard about the new coach is wrong. After the above mentioned changes in 2013, NA has been a much more difficult place to coach. Also, the new weight room was named after the booster club president. Why? There are many more deserving people in North Augusta. This was ridiculous. And you can bet the booster club and certain parents were involved in the new coaches selection. Also, the DC was fired mid season. He won't be missed.

Why fired mid season? That's odd. Any idea where he ended up?

If you came to the practice field you would know why. His coaching style was not well liked.

Coach Thomas was all but made to resign. When he was there the program had stability. Numbers sure have dropped off in the program since Bryant took over. Too many getting run out of the program and going to other Aiken county schools and fox creek.
