10am - 6pm ~ Mon through Sat However, the program fell on


hard times in 2009 and 2010, win- ning only three games on the field and experiencing disgruntled rum- blings off the field. Metts said while the past two


years contributed to his decision, there were other factors as well. “I love the community and the


kids. I just feel like the past seven years, I’ve done all I can do with the program,” he said. “It’s time for a new face and time for the program to move on.” North Buncombe Athletics Di-


rector Rick High said Metts is a “fine man, a good coach and a good educator.” “I’m sorry for the way things


worked out,” he said. Because the school does not

Community mem- bers voiced their compliments and praise for Carey


Metts after his announcement to resign.


Rebecca - Very sad that


our community could stoop to such low tactics that were involved in criticizing Coach Metts. I can hardly blame him for wanting to leave, however he will be missed by many that knew him and his family.


Dottie - I have no kin on


the NBHS football squad, but I feel that Coach Metts did the best job possible without a strong following from the public. As a former coach my- self, I understand his frustra- tions and wish him the best of luck wherever he goes. I will still follow NBHS athletics.


TeeJay - Coach Metts does


a fine job and always seems so positive. He had a lot of negativity thrown his way and handled it like a true gentle- man.

the program will be on the same page under a new regime. “[North Buncombe] tends not


to have the type of athletes some other areas do. ... I think you can win around here, I really do,” he said. “Te community and every- body have to make North Bun- combe football a huge priority to turn things around.” He said a new coach should be


given time to build, and the com- munity should support the effort. As for his seven years, he felt the


program was turning around until the 2009 season when the Black- Hawks failed to win a conference game, save a forfeited win against McDowell, and were shut out of five games. Tat team finished 2-9. “It felt like we made some


progress through the ‘08 season. After that, it did not go as I had planned,” he said. Tere was slight improvement in


2010 as the BlackHawks showed more punch on offense, and they picked up their first conference win in almost two years. Te record, however, remained the same. Te 2009 and 2010 teams expe-
