The view from the press box

‘09 season leaves you with that ‘What if?’ type feel

N

othing could be more cliche than saying the Midlothian football team was a play or two away from turning a bad season into a good, if not great, one. Too bad I’m all about the cliche in this case. A 1-9 record will not reflect it and rightfully so. The Panthers finished the season with seven straight losses ALEX RILEY for last place in the district MIRROR standings. Numbers do SPORTS not lie. WRITER However they don’t always tell the whole truth. After 10 straight weeks of watching from press boxes and roaming sidelines with this team, there is one thing that can be said — Midlothian truly was close to being a good team. It showed in the Alamodome when Eddie Johnson hauled in a miracle pass for what looked to be a gamewinning score. Against 5A Keller, the Panthers never gave up despite an early deficit and came within an onside kick recovery of a chance to win. Who knows if Midlothian gets within field goal range against Cleburne or if a pass or two is completed on the final drive against Corsicana? What could a play here or a play there have done for the Panthers? Maybe everything. Maybe nothing. It would be easy to point to the lopsided losses at the season’s end as a sign of where the Panthers are as a team. But those losses don’t indicate anything. By the time Midway, University, Ennis and Waco rolled around, the roster was depleted due to injury and many players were doing their best play through pain. No one should question this team’s effort. The results won’t reflect it, but each loss meant something to this team. I’ve seen the players’ reactions first hand. It didn’t get any easier. While the record and the numbers won’t reflect it, 2009 might become a distant memory when Midlothian tees it up next season. The team will lose some talented players, there is no doubt about that. However what it brings back is just as great. Eight players who were listed as starters on the offensive twodeep chart will be back.The defense returns seven starters from that same chart. Midlothian finished the year as the top passing offense in District 16-4A and despite losing two wide receivers to graduation, there is a good chance the unit will be just as good if not better in 2010. All of the secondary and linebackers still have at least a year left in school. Dillon Fairbanks, Gage Windsor, Trevor Pinson, Jarmon Jackson, Vincent Panza, Derrick and Eric Agbaroji, all of these players and plenty more are stars in the making as their statistics from this season will attest to. There will be plenty of time in the off season to wonder “what if?” But when next fall rolls around, those question marks might be a thing of the past.

An exercise in character building Mirror sports writer Alex Riley sits down with Midlothian football coach Robby Clark to talk about Panthers’ youth movement, senior success, outlook for 2010 season

Q. A.

With the reliance on underclassmen, tough schedule and mounting injuries, would it be fair to say a 1-9 record doesn’t tell the whole story of this year’s team?

Not only does our record not tell the story of our season all by itself, but it also doesn’t tell the story of how close our program is to really being consistent on a lot of levels. I think you’re right. Just focusing on the season itself, at one point, we’re a few breaks away from having games that are more meaningful in weeks 8 and 9 and 10, instead of having games that have less importance because the further we got away from an opportunity to make the playoffs the less meaningful those games were and the tougher it begins to raise those spirits back up. But what’s great about it is we return most of the roster and even seniors, every returning player we had except for Eddie (Johnson) had very little varsity experience (this year). Mason York was a backup, spot player as a junior. Hunter Moore was in and out of the lineup because of a shoulder Photo by Gary Puckett/Special to the Mirror injury he carried through his junior year. Those Midlothian wide receiver Eddie were two of our most Johnson finished the season as the experienced players com- district leader in receptions (48), ing in and they hadn’t yards (814). Johnson was the lone taken snaps at starter senior returning with varsity startevery game. So Eddie was ing experience. by far our most experienced player returning. Our juniors, virtually every junior that we put on the field as a starter this year had no varsity experience. And obviously we played a lot of sophomores. We knew going in that we were going to be young and inexperienced and we were going to have to get through some times where that hurt us. I was very pleased to see us be as competitve as we were early in the season. At that point, you’re thinking this is going to carry forward and we’re going to get those breaks in district. And then Cleburne comes and goes and it’s the same scenario. Obviously they’re a better football team than they’ve been in the past but no excuse there. And then Coriscana comes and goes so over the course of those six games where we just didn’t get the breaks where we needed them you’ve got a chance to come out 4-2 and it’s just fractions of plays that don’t get you there and that’s when we began to see it get tougher and tougher as we went through the last four games of the season to be energized and to have emotion and things like that.

Q. A.

How important is it to have those underclassmen have a year where they’ve learned what they have to do to make that one extra play?

I think it’s huge. You can’t underestimate the value of experience. You can point to that in our opponents. All those teams in those first six games, (specifically) those four we’ve been talking about, every one of those teams we’re playing was senior laden with starters. Having that experience will get you through some close ones because they’re there, they’ve been there, they’ve done that. It’s enormous for us going forward to have all those guys. It also is beneficial to our sub-varsity which, 1-9 really doesn’t reflect the progress that this place has seen in three and half years because our eighth-grade team isn’t winning a whole lot but at another school it’s really, really strong. Well the seventh-grade is the same way. Our ninthgraders just won the district championship and all those ninth-graders now because of what you just asked about with all the returning experience, all those ninthgraders get to develop as JV players. We expect our ninth, JV and varsity to be real experienced and real mature, as mature as you can get for ninth-grade and JV players. We don’t have to have the large quantity of sophomores help us like we did this year because everybody is coming back.

Q.

After losing a quarterback like Bryce Petty, how surprised were you to have a guy like Dillon Fairbanks step up and have the season he had?

Well that competition was resolved outside of two-a-days by one kid not reporting for practice. We were all going, ‘Well, there’s nobody to push him. He’s not competing anymore.’ What a great surprise to have him come out and perform the way he performed. The way our team shaped up, he became as big a threat on the ground as he did in air which is probably even more of a surprise. See FOOTBALL, Page 2C

Midlothian’s Kitts takes home sixth at state meet By ALEX RILEY Mirror sports writer

After a meet earlier in the season, Carly Kitts jokingly said she was disappointed when a team that was supposed to be at the run didn’t show up. Laughingly, she remarked about the desire to get a little revenge on a girl who had beaten her the week before. Following the 2009 state championship meet, the Midlothian star will have 12 months to stew on that revenge thought. The defending state champion finished in sixth place with a time of 11:31 as Fort Worth Boswell sophomore Maggie Escobar came away with the top spot. “I think she's a little disappointed but she (set a personal record) there and there's just some really solid competition there. She ran hard, as hard as she could and I'm very, very proud of her,” coach Cindy Williams said. “She represented Midlothian High School very well.” Escobar finished with a time of 11:14, two seconds ahead of Willis runner Cali Roper. Last season, Kitts edged Escobar in the state championship with a time of 11:22 to claim the top spot. Escobar finished one second behind with a time of 11:23. The budding rivalry between the two figures to continue as Kitts will be a senior and Escobar will be a junior. Both runners also compete on the track team where Kitts beat Escoabar in the mile and two-mile last year. Contact Alex at alex.riley@wninews.com or at 469-517-1456.

Q.

A.

Your seniors are important to every team because that’s your leadership. Those are the guys that have been in the longest and have seen the most stuff. Whether they’re on the field starting or not on the field starting, what they do is what nobody ever sees. When you’re in that locker room on game day or in that bus on the way to a game or in that locker room right before a game, you’ve got to have people that understand maturity and behavior and the frame of mind that you want to be in because I can assure you, those sophomores don’t understand that when they come in and start a season. They don’t have any clue about what pregame should look like and what am I supposed to be thinking about in the moments leading up to fourth period. They come in and they’re fired up at 7 a.m. and the seniors have a more mature approach to their day. They have a more mature approach to preparation and so they’re modeling those types of things throughout the year is critical, it’s critical. We hope that we get to the point, when you look at our numbers, next season where it’s the first year in a long time that seniors have dominated the roster for Midlothian. All that does is just fill the room up with more of that that I’m talking about. That just helps you even more. Our seniors have been a blessing for us and despite some bad mistakes have been great kids and have meant a lot for this program and we appreciate everything they’ve given us for the last four years.

The year of the learning curve Mirror sports writer Alex Riley talks with volleyball coach Rhonda Currey about the use of sophomore players, senior leadership and how the Lady Panthers will look in 2010

Q. A.

You started them off with a rough schedule to say the least, but it seemed to pay off. Now you have a team that only loses four people. How important was the “baptism by fire?”

I think that they have seen a level of play and they’ve experienced the speed of the way the game’s going to go. I don’t think we’re going to lose a lot of time to the kids adjusting to the speed of the game or adjusting to the reactions they’re going to have to have b e c a u s e they’ve spent all year doing it so that’s a good thing. There’s still some positions that are obviously going to be new. I have two middles in D e s t i n y and (Berry) N i c o l e (Hulshouser) and Caitlin (Paschall).

We theoretically could fill the whole team with people who were on varsity last year which would be a positive. We would be a step ahead of where we were this year because with five sophomores on the team and we’ll be getting Tadem (Mergener) back next year which is good, but she already had a year under her belt as a freshman. It is big. We’re not going to be quite as green. We still won’t be real old but we won’t be the young’uns on the block. They’ll be experienced young people now instead of just young kids.

Midlothian coach Rhonda Currey addresses her team during a match this season. Currey used five different sophomore players on a team that contended for the District 16-4A title for much of the season.

Q. A.

Late in the season, you seemed to get contributions from players who were spotty earlier in the season, almost a different one every week. How big of a confidence booster is that?

It’s a huge positive because those kids they showed the drive and the will. They have been putting in time as well but they just hadn’t been able to see the court time in a game for it. And I think that showed they were ready to go and they seized every opportunity they had and they didn’t let it go by the wayside like so many young kids could do. They could freeze up when they get in there and we had some of that early on in the season. We had some kids that came off the bench that maybe didn’t perform like I knew they could. But at the end it seemed like every time a kid had a chance they’re scoring for us, they’re not just going in the game, they’re making a difference, they’re impacting that game somehow. And that is huge. what That’s you hope as a coach when you pull somebody off the bench that they’re not just We talked a going to go in, this lot they’re going to year about make an impact the progression of when they go in. sophomore setters Really we felt like and their growing the subs at the end pains.

Q.

A.

Q.

Q. A.

This group of seniors weren’t just the oldest players on the team, they contributed as both leaders and players. What does the lessons they leave behind do for the team?

It was huge because the seniors we had all had different styles and the different kids would respond to different seniors. It wasn’t like they all looked to one senior. They didn’t and that was unique in that they had different (ones to go to), and even and different times. Some were more emotionally supportive and some were get over it, come on, let’s do this. So it was neat that the kids, depending on what they felt like they needed, could go to each senior and they would get that need fulfilled. The seniors did fulfill those roles and they were very complementary of each other as far as how they did things. Not any of the seniors did everything the same. They each had different strong points which was pretty amazing because you don’t usually get that.

So we’ll be working with new lefts, some new middles and just kind of tweaking it, getting it where it needs to go. And defense wise, we have some kids that were on the bench in that aspect and they didn’t get a lot of opportunities to get in because Jade was the libero and she did great out there. That will be something else I’ll kind of focus on. Our chemistry with the hitters, our connections there and then some of our defense. Our setters are going to move a little better next year. We’re going to work on moving them and just overall defense. I think several people took advantage of our weak right side defense so we’re going to try and fix that in the off season.

Q.

With the success of the sub-varsity teams (JV finished 28-8 while 9A and 9B combined for a 29-10 record), how bright does the future look for this program?

A.

The junior varsity kids kind of some had injuries they had to deal with and you saw very similar things with their (team). (Coach Daisy McDonald) Photo by Chad Wilson/The Mirror had four different left side Junior varsity libero Lacie hitters this year. She had Tucker was one of three four different middles this players to be called up for year. And so that was to varsity for the playoffs. unique. She ran two different liberos so it’s good that The JV team finished 28-8. the kids are showing their versatility. One player swung left, middle and right depending on what they needed. It’s encouraging to see them be able to come in and be flexible enough to fulfill the role that needed fulfilling then. And they were very successful at it. They worked hard. The freshman team, both A and B, did a good job when B got their games in and A was very competitive. We’ve got some very strong kids down there that are coming up so it’s exciting.

Q.

Having someone l i k e Tadem, who was a star before the injury, and Destiny, who has a chance to be all-district, coming back next season, what does their presence do for this team?

A.

Ta d e m ’s going to have to get her confidence back and so that’s Photo by Alex Riley/The Mirror going to be huge. Getting standout Tadem Just getting to know Mergener back healthy will be a where she’s OK and huge boost for the Lady Panthers you can go full force just like comnext season. ing back from any injury. I think the biggest thing with Destiny is her seeing what everybody else sees and just how big she could be. The only thing that’s going to stop Destiny is Destiny. She could go huge. She could be stellar. She proved it this year. She came a long way. A year ago, she wasn’t hitting much, she was hitting earlier. I think just another year with the same setters, it’s going to make a huge difference with her and being able to work on that connection in the offseason. I think you’re going to see Destiny, hopefully, flourish a little bit more. Every year she has. Her sophomore year on JV she was kind of quiet, not hitting a whole lot. And obviously her junior year, through club ball, she started really smacking the ball and taking care of it and seeing, ‘Oh, yeah. I really can hit that ball.’ Photo by Chad Wilson/The Mirror When she gets up, Junior Destiny Berry will be she gets up higher asked to fill a void on front-line than anybody. When she figures out she play next season with the deparcan go ahead and hit ture of three seniors. it down, I think that she’s going to be a very lethal weapon which she already figured out this year. She had some of the hardest hits I’ve seen in awhile when she got ahold of them. So if we can just get her consistent on that and the setters consistent on where to put it for her, it will be a good combination.
