Those "newcomers" have made West Bladen a safer school and has brought back the lost concept, that school is for teaching and providing an education that will last a lifetime. For too long, athletics (mainly boy programs) has taken precedence over education. Coach Cross is use to using Board Members to get his way and over stepping his boundaries, that's what happened to Ms. Beatty. The board did not support her if her decisions did not support Coach Cross. I have a child at WB and her education and safety is way more important to me than making sure Coach Cross is happy. I say accept the responsibility of what happened and move on. Leaving WB is like a slap in the face of the kids and parents that supported him all these years, but he is not the end of WB. If WB students want to be the best, they can be. As far as I am concerned that are champs!
