“All the girls have been very supportive of Beth. They let her know how proud they are that she has stayed in school and is on track to graduate. They've been positive and have done a good job of coming together as a team all year long.”
“Beth had really turned herself around with her attendance and grades. We're proud of her. Even though she didn't play in some games this year, the NCHSAA considers dressing out equal to playing.”
“We interviewed quite a number of people. The thing that stood out about coach Bliss was an outstanding coaching and teaching record. He and his family have been in this area before so they're familiar with Western North Carolina.”
“The position that opened up happened to be a social studies position. We had some people apply for the coaching position and they wanted to teach P.E. We had some other people apply just for the teaching position. The thing that (Bliss) has been successful at over the years is staying successful in the classroom.”
