coaching cracked decisions everybody grind happy high leaving school state teams
I'm not leaving coaching. The grind of high school coaching is enormous. Coaching state championship teams is not all that it's cracked up to be sometimes. I never really got used to making decisions that not everybody was going to be happy with.
cherry coaches diving east eastern few four good gotten hill hurt improve plan teams washington west
A lot of the teams have gotten stronger. Our diving has been a little down and that has hurt us in a few meets, but we're working to improve that. At least four teams (that are on Vineland's schedule) have really improved. Washington Township has 14 new kids, Cherry Hill West and Cherry Hill East are strong, and Eastern is always a competitive team. They all have good coaches who know how to plan lineups, so it's going to be a challenge.

It went really well. Each of our swimmers averaged 13,000 meters a practice and we had near-perfect attendance.
