Cole should compete for a title this year if he works hard enough this summer.
I am going to stick with my thoughts that they should compete for the league next year. I actually ran into Cole when I was walking by the fruit section at Wal Mart. He was palming two clementines. One of the clementines was a little swollen, slightly bigger than the other one. I was actually looking for a new lubricant for my squeaky rusty doors when I noticed Cole peering over the bananas. I was not going to bother coach but he started talking (I thought he was talking to me). I stopped and said "What". He used one of the bananas to point to his ear. He was actually talking on his blue tooth. I started walking away then he used the banana to flag me down. He saw that I was wearing a "Black Lives Matter" shirt and wanted to discuss Trump. Side Note: Cole was wearing a #SpartanNation shirt that was awesome. Does anyone know where he got this?
After a political showdown we started to discuss the upcoming prospects in the Springfield system. Cole, that dirty devil, played his cards close to the vest. He actually told me that he thinks they can compete for a district this year. It seemed like he was not even respecting the teams in his league. He said that he thinks they proved in the tournament last year that Warren Harding isnt what they people think they are. They supposedly play in a weak league. I am happy for this young man, he really seems enthused to be leading #SpartanNation back to the Andricky glory hole days. For those who dont remember Cole was on Andricky's staff back when they won the PTC title. Cole was very nice to talk to, he even took the time to use the fog from the freezer doors to show me a set that he came up with. He called it "flex" and said he would flex his bicep to tell the players the play in case the gym was to raucous. This move is ingenious to use a signal to call plays. We actually talked for another 20 minutes or so. I will provide more details when I have some more time later.
Any other tricks up his sleeve? If like to hear all about these sets and his coaching philosophy too.

^ This is awesome :clap:.
No lurch just curious. Me nephew plays for waterloo and he has been telling how great they have looked during their 4 man workouts and open gyms. :shrug:
If Cole can turn it around in year 2 maybe Vaughn can turn it around in football in year 9?
Vaughn does have a slightly better win percentage (his 24-56 vs. Cole's 5-18) so I'll give Vaughn the edge.
The Spartans can win 10-12 bball games next season
BigWorm you are way off.. SHS won the PTC in 06 and 07. And were runners up to Norton and Kent 09 and 10. I've seen all 4 of those teams in action. Cole's team is nowhere near that. The PTC was stronger in basketball back then too. Sometimes your statements are mind boggling LOL. No need to give unrealistic expectations to Cole and his staff. They will be better no doubt, but best roster since 2001? I think you've officially lost it
I'll give you Coventry.. They were the best team I've seen in the PTC since Pollk and Bryant from Kent. But Norton was not as good as in years past I don't believe. Woodridge didn't play them then but I saw highlights and got the papers. They were pretty solid. This year they had no standouts, decent shooters and somewhat smart. But yes I'm excited to see what Woodbridge can do this year they have a lot of promise. Also excited to get Judd out LOL

You are absolutely right, the league is way watered down and nowhere near what it used to be.:thumb:
Worm what's your honest opinion about City Series right now? Don't tell me the Orangemen are only winning bc the city is no good, lol.
There are a few good teams. The best team in PTC would be probably 4th in the city. Most years that team would be lower though. Ellet didnt make the championship last year.
