UND92,96 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Rumor has it that he will step down as his soon is graduation His son is graduating, so it wouldn't surprise me. I believe Central absolutely has to have a "name" coach in order to remain competitive, which generally means an ex-UND player. Without getting south end kids through open enrollment, Central hockey likely won't be much better than Central football and basketball, which have been among the worst in the state over the last five to eight years.

Central will be fine for the next two years as they have a great Sophomore class in both baseball and hockey. Grant's son does graduate but I'm not convinced he quits yet. Still wants to win himself. With open enrollment it's tough for Central as GF is only growing south just like it is for Fargo North, then Fargo South as allot kids go to Davies. Quote
darell1976 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 1984, 1993, 1995, 2003, 2004, 2010 these are Central's championship years going back 31 years. This year is the 5th year in the drought, Central went though 9 years, 8 years, and 6 years of a drought. Does Grant need to be fired.....NO! Quote

What's the problem there at Central? (I kid, I kid) Quote
darell1976 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Only 6 championships in 31 years? What's the problem there at Central? (I kid, I kid) The problem was running into the other GF school in the title game. Quote

Just curious--any idea how many of those kids (overall numbers, not necessarily names) live in the Red River district, and open-enroll into Central? That seems to be a big part of the reason for much of the success Central has managed to have in the 2000's--Marto, the Lamoureux's, Luke Johnson, Simonson (?), etc. I'm not convinced that kind of thing will go on indefinitely. It certainly hasn't in other sports. Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Only 6 championships in 31 years? What's the problem there at Central? (I kid, I kid) Compared to 14 Titles by that other school in town in that same time frame! Wait, I thought Central was the dominant power in not only this town but the state?!! (I kid also) Quote

UND92,96 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 They need to move the line if they stop open enrollment. I've been saying for years that instead of a north-south divide, it should be east (Central) and west (Red River). Apparently nobody on the school board agrees. I get the whole "tradition" argument, but frankly you could not possibly come up with a line that is more inequitable than where the current one is while still keeping somewhat equal enrollments.

Where would your divide line be? Columbia? 42nd St? Quote
UND92,96 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Where would your divide line be? Columbia? 42nd St? I don't know for sure, but I was thinking part of it would be Washington. I don't have any idea how it would work out population-wise, but I believe it's important to come up with a plan that has the Central district include some of the newer developments in town (besides Congressional, which really just replaced housing lost in the flood). There are a lot of newer developments on either side of Washington. Besides Congressional/Promenade, I believe virtually every new development in Grand Forks since at least the early 1980's has been in the Red River district. When you look at the elementary school situation in Grand Forks, there are currently two "mega schools"--Kelly and Century. A third will open next school year. All three are 100% in the Red River district. Therein lies a big part of the problem. Quote
