I have had the pleasure of having Matt as a friend and assistant coach. I know few people that have the passion and optimisim for kids in his community that he shares. I applaud him for having an opinion and being willing to share it to illicit introspection and discussion. The community of Sultan is lucky to have him back.
As a former coach in the Cascade Conference (former head coach in multiple sports and my wife as a former head coach as well) I can attest that the conference as a whole is not the strongest in all sports night in and night out (and I could share my opinion as to why that is, but will save that for later and no I do not belive it to be the "fault" of Kings or ATM.
Many focus on football and basketball as the gauge of the quality of an athletic program and league. I understand that view and now very well the "heat" given to the coaches of those sports. I do agree with Col-Pul on the point that the support of the community and administration, development of a culture and stabilty of quality coaches can make or break an athletic program (maybe not exactly Col-Pul's words but what I gather from the outside that works for Colfax and Pullman). I can say that those factors are not always in place at all the schools in the Cascade Conference. I digress. I wanted to share that I do not believe the contention that the Cascade Conference is "the worst league in the state." Do I have evidence of that? No. I have not looked at every league in the state and only focussed on the Cascade Conference of this decade sans ATM and Kings to support the kids of those communities that there are have been some quite positive sport experiences and state placings of teams so far this century ;) Below is a breakdown of the state placers in the conference members since 2000. I may have missed a few but here it is: 2000 Cedarcrest VB 8th Lakewood BXC 4th South Whidbey BSOCC 2nd BTF 7th BXC 2nd GBB 8th GSOCC 3rd GXC 3rd 2001 Granite Falls VB 7th Lakewood BXC 5th South Whidbey BTF 2nd GTF 3rd GXC 2nd Sultan GSOCC 4th 2002 Cedarcrest WREST 8th Coupeville GBB 6th SB 3rd Lakewood BXC 4th South Whidbey BTF 8th GTF 3rd GXC 2nd SB 2nd Sultan GSOCC 1st 2003 Cedarcrest GSOCC 3rd WREST 3rd Coupeville GBB 8th Lakewood BSOCC 4TH BTF 8TH South Whidbey BTF 3RD BXC 2ND GSOCC 3RD GTF 5TH GXC 3RD SB 3RD VB 6TH Sultan BSOCC 2ND GTF 8TH 2004 Lakewood BASE 2ND BXC 2ND South Whidbey BTF 1ST GTF 6TH GXC 5TH Sultan BSOCC 3RD GSOCC 4TH 2005 Cedarcrest VB 8TH GSOCC 3rd Coupeville GBB 8TH Lakewood BASE 2ND BXC 4TH Sultan GTF 6TH 2006 Cedarcrest GSOCC 3RD Granite Falls BASE 1ST Lakewood BTF 7TH BXC 5TH GXC 8TH South Whidbey GXC 6TH Sultan GTF 8TH 2007 Cedarcrest BASE 3RD GXC 7TH WREST 5TH Lakewood BXC 7TH South Whidbey GXC 5TH 2008 Cedarcrest BASE 3RD BSOCC 3RD GSOCC 2ND GXC 2ND Lakewood BXC 7TH 2009 Cedarcrest BASE 1ST GXC 3RD Lakewood BTF 8TH BXC 4TH
