Lakiem Lockery took over, he was with them as an assistant last season.
just outta curiosity, where's he from, what's his resume and how old is he? Again, dunno the feller so excuse my ignorance. Hope the bearcats hot a good one.
A competitive balance number of 32 will help.with the small group of boys.danicalifornia wrote: Mon Jun 26, 2023 8:11 pm I hope he does well, but that’s a really hard place to win, especially with an extremely small group of boys entering the high school this year.
They’ll have 2 solid pieces that will be juniors at least, so a little to build with
He was at Waverly as a JV coach and then accepted the Eastern Pike position after Barrick left and after they graduated everyone from an exceptional team. He's got a lot to learn and prove though, he made it out to PV my guess is because of Robertson and was the JV coach last season and they moved him up and he'll probably have Robertson close by again. He's got a lot to prove though the amount of success he's had as a HC is minimal, nice to see him get another shot because EP cupboards were bare when he took that one over.packers80 wrote: Sun Jun 25, 2023 6:36 pmjust outta curiosity, where's he from, what's his resume and how old is he?

That might be more of an advantage of football purposes from what I’ve heard….PV also just got bumped up to D3 which is loaded.luvtlm wrote: Mon Jun 26, 2023 9:54 pmA competitive balance number of 32 will help.with the small group of boys.danicalifornia wrote: Mon Jun 26, 2023 8:11 pm I hope he does well, but that’s a really hard place to win, especially with an extremely small group of boys entering the high school this year.

The old coach, Jason Smith, actually decided to step down as his own decision, as he has kids who attend another school and are getting older. No ill feelings either way and the community is excited to have Lakiem!! He is actually helping football some too this upcoming season!socsportsfan1 wrote: Sun Jun 25, 2023 7:33 pm What hand was he dealt exactly at Eastern? Did he step down? Eastern seemed to be solid last year and in good shape now only a year or two after his departure.
The was a clear move to appease Robertson. The previous coach never stood a chance. This past season Robertson gradually exerted more and more control over this program. This hire was made so that Robertson could continue to exert his influence. Was this job ever even publicly posted? Who else applied?
