John McKissick Coaching Record

[Fortfor5]

Beating up on High School kids using college kids is hardly something to be proud of.

Just saw Penquin's post and he is correct!!! I grew up in Goose Creek (75 to 82) and it was well known McKissick and crew would hold back 8th graders and get them to "repeat" the 8th grade. It was like a redshirt deal in college. Those that repeated 8th grade played JV to learn the Wave system. Seniors playing should have been freshman in college. They were always bigger and stronger. It really helped them on OL and DL. They would just wear you down and out by the second half. This was during their 3 year run of being undefeated and winning the state championship 3 years in a row.

Do the names Perry Cuda and Jimmy Harrell ring a bell? Try getting a sophmore or junior in High School tackle a "freshman" who should be in college one on one - see how that works out. Summerville did the same thing with a running back in the late 70's early 80's - I think his last name was Standford Jennings - who was a bull. Went on to play at Furman and in the NFL for the Bengals. I should know - he flattened me like a pancake more than once....

For the record... Perry Cuda did stay back a year but he still only graduated at 18. He started school in the Georgia system and was a year ahead of his class when they moved to sville .. and as for A.J Green he repeated the 6th grade due to grades...
During the mid 70's the summerville school system was very over crowded and the 6th-8th grades were forced to do split sessions some parents felt that their kids needed the extra year of education ...
Summerville was dominate during that time frame because we had good little league programs and a lot of the kids got started playing together at an early level and had 4 to 5 years under their belt before they entered high school.. our little league teams had over 50 kids each...and at the start up of spring practice over 500 kids came out for the football team and the varsity team would consist of approximately 120 kids By the time the season started in which only 80 players would dress per game . So you always had to check the locker room at 8am Friday morning to find out if you would dress for the game that night. Because 40 kids wouldn't.... the Wave program was dominate because of the dedication and the hard work of the kids because the Monday -Wednesday practices were tougher than most teams we played on Friday nights.

Go Wave.

Had split sessions in the mid 80s aswell Alston dubose opened in dec or January.
You cant argue with the stuborn .i declare he should post every bit of credibil evidence or recuse him self frim further duscussion under the pretense of misguieded and previous delusional hatred for big john.also for the delusions of the university of north Carolina as a non cheating entity .


Oh yeah greenwave sucks eggs.

The idea of red-shirting players goes back to Texas and Oklahoma football in the 60's under the influence of Coaches Darrell Royal and Bud Wilkinson. Both coaches encouraged parents of kids wanting to play football to be held back a year to help them grow and mature into better players before they got to high school. This practice filtered down to many other states as well. I am confident that it still goes on among parents of students that understand the concept and realize the benefit it will give their future student athlete as long as their birthday doesn't cause them to exceed 19 years old prior to graduation. Look at how AAU Basketball operates and you will understand what I mean. A lot of those kids are man-kids because they were held back and allowed to grow!!

A student, who becomes 19 years of age prior to July 1 of the upcoming school year, will not be eligible to compete in any athletic activities during that school year.

HELL, BACK IN THE 60'S, MANY OF OUR PLAYERS WERE 25, AND IF THEY WERE GOOD, THEY DIDNT HAVE TO TAKE TESTS IN SKOOL, HAHAHA, I REMEMBER A MANY A TIME, THE GOOD PLAYERS WERE TOLD TO GO TO THE GYM WHEN IT WAS TESTING TIME.

I remember many times when they came to Beaufort to play, that the referees actually got of the bus with their team. They traveled with their own referees.

. Liar!! Jealous much?
