I agree with most of what you are saying Tapp, but no matter how good of a coach someone is, you can't coach experience and that is something that Ferndale had very little of this year

I am going to say I am most impressed with Coach Terry Kruise from Harmony. He took a small, small school and won!!! Consistently!! He took his teams all over the area to play basketball. He would split his teams in groups and some would be playing in Altoona while others were in Indiana, but they were all playing. He convinced these players and parents that if they put time in the results would follow. His name is mentioned anytime Harmony Basketball surfaces. You could be talking to a parent, grandparent, cousin of a former players or whoever but they all seem to ask "Did you know "Teach"? The folks up in Westover lost a piece of their hearts, each and every one of them when he passed away. His Harmony Owls Basketball team was the biggest show in town and he single handedly made it that way.

02-03 16-8
01-02 9-16
00-01 12-13
99-00 23-5

That is all I could find but impressive to say the least.

What Kruise did at Harmony with a graduating class of 30-40 kids was indeed impressive.

Care to elaborate?

All I know is that Johnstown's basketball team has held it together much better than the football team these past few years, with the same bunch of kids. So maybe you you have the wrong Trojan coach.
