Taylor girls - Departing Coach Jill Shimer
KOKOMO, Ind. -- (Updated 3/22) It is now official that the Taylor job is open. Although oddly the job is listed on corp as open April 5(?) Regardless, to say the Titans have struggled the last two seasons would be an understatement. Coach Shimer really never stood a chance, as good Varsity Club member reports she didn’t really ever have enough talent to be able to game plan. 0-22 a year ago with a squad that averaged just 12PPG and more recently 1-22 bumping their offensive output all the way up to 28PPG. Still, Taylor was rarely in most games beyond the opening minutes. Classic good news/bad news that runs through here about once a year. Good news is virtually the entire team comes back. That’s also the bad news. Only sr-2-b Jallainah Harris was able to average double digits last season, and although her teammates will be a year more experienced, the growth needed to truly compete with the Titans’ schedule simply not probably there. Besting last season’s lone win is more than realistic, and if you are looking at baby steps, Varsity Club member insists that getting five W’s is possible. MS Math and HS Math currently open
