I've known Ken Cross for quite some time. I think he's a great guy. I wish him the best whether at WBHS or EBHS. I don't, however, agree with his coaching style. Ken Cross has been blessed with talent over his career. Most teams he has coached were only taught one offense and one defense and practice consisted of only tossing the ball on the court and letting the kids play. Anyone with a solid basketball metality knows that there is much more to be taught in the game of basketball. I think both West Bladen and East Bladen can benefit from the transfer of Coach Cross. I hope Coach Cross's teams continue to succeed at East Bladen High School.
Not necessarily a bad thing
