First of all, Coach Porsh is not a "newbie;" he was Coach Baker's assistant for many years and was instrumental in Hoxie's dominating years. He is a good coach as will be proven over time.

Secondly, ALL schools' talent will cycle. In small schools the cycles will be more pronounced, even without declining enrollment being a factor. Declining enrollment not only serves to amplify the down cycle, but could also prolong it. Hoxie had an incredible run of talent (coupled with outstanding coaching) through much of the 90's into the early 00's. To think that such a depth and width of talent would continue indefinitely in a school the size of Hoxie is, at best, unrealistic.

Two things I have learned in my many years is that (1) we SHOULD spend more time enjoying the moment and (2) Over time, "it" all averages out.
