Yea i agree, that is ridiculous!! Like CB said, Lowe won alot of games and back to back league titles.

Well, i wish they'd get the kids in the gym and get some excitement back in the community. Football and Basketball wise.

Crab's brother wrote:Scott Lowe won nearly 100 games in 6 years as the coach of the Indians. Were they a state power? No. But they were always in the league race until the end of the season and won the title twice.

Yes the Indians had a couple awesome teams, and they let parents crying and complaining and personal goals by a few players and there parents run Scott out of Valley. Can you honestly tell me thats a wrong statement?

No one said they didnt jungle cat. I dont think you were around, but we went crazy when they fired him, and alot of us went to the board meeting to show our displeasure.

Someone said they never remembered AD having comp from bball, and we corrected it....

Kurt McGraw would have done as good as Lowe if he had the talent that lowe had.

I talked to my nephew last night, (he is a guard on the team). He said he is excited about the new coach. He is from Tenn., and won a state championship in Arkansas. He had a good run in Tenn tournament last year. He said that he went thru the toughest conditioning he'd ever had in their practice or whatever you call it. I am excited about the change and I think it might bring back some players that may not have wanted to play or did play in the past. ;-)

Wink Wink!

if his summer practices are hard then his regular practices will probably be even harder, think that won't scare off a few borderline players? hard practices does not necessarily add up to good basketball teams.

I never said it did add up to a good team. I never said that it would bring in borderline players. I just "hoped" it might make some players come in and play next year. See, I am a fan of the Valley program. And I would like to see them succeed. Espescially with my nephew on the team, I would like that even more. That's all.

chicken coop,
refresh my memory, where is coach lowe now?

Post by **coop** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 6:10 pm

Asst. Principal Chillicothe

In the know? I dont know what that means. I dont follow him around, and i'm not on his jock. The last job that i knew he had was that one. Hell, i live in New Orleans, La. So, i dont keep up on who is coaching where, especially if they arent still at Valley!

Lowe is now a principal at Jackson i believe.

The one I wanted as coach is PMOW3. He sould have showed the shooting guards how to hit a bank shot three pointer from the right wing.

Congrats Valley fans in grabbing what looks like a quality coach.
Anytime someone can win a state title then they have what it takes to win.
The SOC II will have a major player in a few years in Valley. Valley has always had quality sports, but I have a feeling with this guy, the Indians are going to be making some trips North when tourney time comes.
Good Luck!

I hope this new coach will help the Indians go way Further into the season. A lot of quality players and talent on the team. (Arbaugh, Zimmer, Cunningham, McClain) As well as a lot of heart... Good Luck Indians!

so with all of this talent it was all mcgraw's fault for the lack of success, just like it was lowe's fault prior to that?

It was not McGraw's fault. About 3/4 of the kids never bought into his system. I just think FOOTBALL comes first at Valley and basketball second. I feel bad for the kids who actually want to get better and their teammates could careless

He could have said it MUCH better!! When Lowe was coaching kids wanted to play, they enjoyed it and they played hard.
