I have been trying in Smith to get a group of us to move eventually up to DI and take over a lower level conference (like the Missouri Valley). It hasn't been very successful. I have tried to get RC to come back here and take Lasell, again, to no avail. Elmo has wanted to move up for a season or two, so we will be trying to move towards a lower level conference in DI over the next few seasons.
JTT, has joined me in DII from the Centennial, Elmo is moving up, RC has 2 good seasons in DII at Assumption.
I really don't want to take away from the NAC, but I also want everyone there who cares, to know my/our intentions. I am moving up from Holy Family, this year or next to whatever conference we decide we want. Due to the fact RC doesn't want back here in DIII at Lasell, I will then try to move in behind my Mizz. account with this one and take HF with this one. Thus one more season here and I will be gone from Lasell.
Floyd we would love to have you join us. (again, I don't want you to leave here), but if your gonna, any way,,, you may as well work towards joining us up there. I would like to extend an invitation to all of you but I don't want that to be the demise of the Allen NAC. (which has been the most fun I have had in HD)
I am sorry this is happening, however, it is going to sooner or later. If only 1-2 go each season we should be able to draw other good coaches in to take over the spots and keep the NAC dominate.
I have, and will continue to keep watch over a team or two here to see the conf. doesn't go to simmy
Look at this as a growth opportunity, a chance to get some motivated guys in to replace some who may be burning out at this level. These are excellant teams to take over in the best DIII conference around. I think the NAC could be stronger in a couple seasons than even now.
Good luck
Big-RC
