Beloit Turner takes a big step toward a winning culture
BELOIT — For the past few years, I’ve used this as a time to reflect on the football fortunes of Beloit Memorial and Turner and how close the programs are to establishing the winning cultures both desire. That won’t exactly be the case this season. First of all, I don’t have a clue what is going on with the Purple Knights. I’m not sure anyone does. All that is really known is that head coach Brad Dement has resigned. How many assistant coaches from his staff will return next season is unknown. The team finished 0-9 and was outscored 123-14 the last three weeks after Dement left the team. Then there’s the school’s feeder system for football. Due to cost cuts, there is no middle school football program anymore. The Beloit Football Academy stepped in to produce grade-school teams this fall, but what that means for the future is also uncertain. That schenario has worked pretty well elsewhere, with strong oversight and direction from the high school coaches involved. New Athletic Director Robert Douglas will need to sort all this out and then yet another coach will try to rebuild a program that hasn’t produced a winning team since 1999.
