It had nothing to do with Bradshaw. Billy Hudson has been trying to come up with a reason to relieve Coach Mask of his coaching duties for about two years. Mr. Hudson is jealous of him.quote:Originally posted by alboochie:
I also graduated from CCHS. I have to agree on the ratings. Colbert County has ALWAYS scored lower than the remainder of schools in our area. We have the worst funding in the area as far as the academic portion is concerned. We have always been looked down on by other members of the area bc we are CCHS. I would hate to discuss the true reason why our school is disliked so much.
I, however, graduated 7th in my class and went on to graduate from college with an accounting degree. Regardless of the rating of our high school-- ***I*** choose what to do with my life. I participated in the sports as well. I cant be mad at my parents for not paying the tution to one of the other schools mentioned, which I cant afford for my childern either. Neither can I be mad bc they did not drive 30 minutes to get us to another school. They made us adapt to our surroundings and learn from what we had. I have a brother and a sister. We all have jobs and are self supporting of ourselves. I am sure that the ratings were not much different in our time compared to the other schools. We just didnt let them put a cap on our potential.
I can say that while I was attending, football was the reason that our community could not forget us. Everyone knows the football tradition from CT Manley stadium. If that gives some of the children there a reason to wake up in the morning, let it. They may not have any other area to focus their attention or give 100% (sad as that might be). Several people do not care whether or not they graduate, or do well in academics, or even become a person of good character. I do not agree at all how things work there- but no one has changed in the past so I dont expect any thing different now. So quit knocking the children around. They may not have an other alternative.
As far as Coach Mask- he was there when I attended also. He was a coach. My main question is---did his firing from Bradshaw somehow have anything to do with what is going on now????
I do pray for those attending school at Colbert County. I pray that when they complete a job application- they are not ashamed of at least getting a high school education. I also pray that in this area-- that their interviewer will not turn them away simply for that school being the place that the Lord choose to put them.

Oh NO... not another school discussion.... Whewww!
I have to agree with what someone said here,... don't look like it should have been the COACH fired with Acedemics the way they are.
Maybe HE can apply at Alabama *snickers*

I live away from the area, way away, actually in Panama and I don't mean Florida either. I know the Mask family and there is nothing wrong with Steve. He was a good kid in school, and having graduated from CCHS I can tell you that when I attended from 1967 to 1973, it was the best school to go to in NW ALA. OK, we did not have the educational facilities as did MSHC or Bradshaw but in education and sports we were in the top then. What did we have?...two things...great educators/teachers and a supportive community. We had teachers that were dedicated and administrative personnel and a PTA that were sincerely interested and supportive. During my time at high school we had two National Merit Scholarship winners, Phillip Potter and Macon Landers. Almost of third of my class were honor roll student. We were always champions in sports and there was no "giving" grades because you played. I could not play because of asthma and allergies but we had players that went on to pro-ball as well. I understand that since then it has gone down hill. I believe a lot of that was due to everyone moving out of the rural area pretty much. But I feel bless to have attended CCHS and blessed to have attended with such great students/people. I now own a multi-million dollar telecom company covering 4 countries in Latin America, and I basically did it based on my education at Leighton, not in college, where I dropped out early to work, and to the community and parental ethics and moral support given therein. A great deal of regard should be given to a coach because he has a job that covers many bases. It's a shame that parents today, expect the coach to play momma too much and don't support the man who is there every day. Anyone who does not agree with me can always write me to discuss "why-so" at and I would be honored to support CCHS and my friends.
