  1. This man coached my youngest son in Corsicana. He told me that Coach Castles was one of the greatest men he had been under while he was there. A classy coach, and a great family. I hate Henderson is reassigning him. But God has a bigger plan. I wish him and his family the best!

  2. This will be the last post that I make on this topic. Obviously it is disappointing the way things have turned out for Castles and the coaching staff, as there has been much uproar throughout the community. If you read the kltv, ketk, and several other articles it paints a completely different picture of Castles than the Henderson Daily News article. The Henderson Daily News article mentions ALL of his accomplishments at HHS. As far as the next coach, I would hope that a PROVEN winner is hired, otherwise this community and the anger that has been displayed after this may affect folks at the top. People that want to compare this job to Carthage, which seems to be the norm here, live in an alternate reality than everyone else. Maybe some Carthage historians can help me here, but I believe Castles is 1 of very coaches anywhere that has beaten Surratt more than once. Good luck to Coach Castles, and thank you for being a great leader for our kids!

  3. Listen, we are here to moderate this site according to the rules posted at the top of every forum on this site. You signed up to be moderated according to those rules. We let as much go as we can with these things because we like our active members. A few things you should know about us: 1) most of us have a life outside of this forum. I wear “big boy pants” at my real job and father 5 kids. I don’t need to make money from this site, and to be frank, Smoak doesn’t make #### from you guys posting in this forum. It costs him money to keep this up so you guys can act like 16 year olds anonymously. 2) If you ever feel like we wronged you, PM us. We discuss the issue as a whole, and adjust accordingly. 3) if you think we are being bullish and unfair, David does not hide his email from you. I can tell you this, when he looks up your behavior and finds out you were wrong after one of those, the punishment usually increases. 4) Finally, when you are given a warning or PMed that is us telling you and asking you to stop doing stupid #### so we won’t have to suspend you. Doing the 16 yr old thing and going at it again leads us to suspend. The moderators on this site prefer to just read and get insight and opinions from you the fans. It’s entertaining and enlightening. Posting rumors from a 3rd party and not a personal experience is and has always been an issue to the owner of this site. We could have suspended 5 people on the other Henderson thread, instead we just locked it. Next time, we will just cut out the problem. Enjoy the site, spread rumors on the FSSW forum thing.

  5. Thanks for the job you do as moderators. Remember that your first duty is to get home safely and see your family at the end of each shift. Keep up the good work. Henderson could be a really good job.

  8. This is going to get ugly! It’s already ugly the way it’s being handled. Lots of kids and families being affected here. I think it’s about time for Henderson to take their school back.

  9. Yep. These tests skew towards kids who pay attention in class on doing well compared to those who don't. Don't get me wrong, standardized testing is a joke and makes a mockery of education. However, if your child doesn't pay attention in class, they won't do well on these tests.

  10. Unfortunately, this is the way it works in education, corporate world, etc... new guy in charge wants his own people regardless. Who knows why, I guess he would rather bet on his new guy instead of a proven winnner at 62-33. Pretty shortsighted and risky . . . or maybe he's just stair-stepping through Henderson. When I was on the school board here in Jacksonville, our new supe told Danny Long he needed to win the next year in 1996 after we went 5-5 in 1995. Forget the fact that Danny completely turned our culture around, playoff wins in 1992, 1993, and the best was yet to come. Didn't matter, he had one rebuilding year in 1995 and went 5-5 so new supe tells him that. I did not find this out until after the supe had left because Coach Long never ran to school board members to talk out of turn. The rest is history . . . supe left in 1998 and Danny took us to the playoffs every year from 1996-2002 and then he left. 3 deep twice and 4-deep in 2000.

  11. That is correct. Castles also had what, 3 or 4 D1 kids playing at that time? More? I honestly am asking because I remember Ebner and VanZant and I feel like there were more. I do not believe it was a case of Castles being so good at the Xs and Os. I’m not saying he isn’t, I’m just saying I believe he has underachieved with the talent at hand. This has nothing to do with whether or not he is being mistreated or mishandled, I don’t have an opinion on that because I know nothing about it outside of what I’ve read here.

  13. A well worded open records request of all communications (email, text, and/or hard copies) of HISD administration, board, and staff concerning any change in the employment status of the HC/AD could shine some daylight on this. This issue seems a lot deeper than some philosophical differences considering the silence of those in the know. The downside is it will likely take the full 10 business days to receive a reply.

  18. And some people do, but most do not. These figures speak for themselves. And yes, I know that there are always outliers. Because some very wealthy people didn't get college or finish high school. But norms/averages tell us the more education, the better the pay. But then again, I also know as a teacher--not everyone is college bound or should be college bound. That is why students need to learn some trades in High School, maybe even get licenses to do some things--such as auto mechanics, plumbing, etc... while in high school.

  22. You're reaching now. At the time this happened, a crime was suspected to have occured. Had the guy not tried to disarm them, he'd be alive and they wouldn't be in jail. Maybe he needed a gun to fight with the police? Maybe he would've also tried to disarm the police? Not like it doesn't happen. We see it all the time, and when it does, we're treated to a neverending parade of "racist cops" propaganda.

  33. I understand the ex Yoe student athlete who was to be hired as the girls basketball coach may have turned the opportunity to coach at Yoe down. Volley ball coaches at Yoe have been a revolving door for years. I sure Rhoades will try his best to stabilize the situation since they have talent, the same can be said about girls basketball. Rhoades can and will handle the stress. To my knowledge he plays the best athletes regardless of their economic status within the Cameron community. I wish Coach Rhoades success in his efforts to build first class programs in girls and boys athletics at Yoe.

  34. Rosebud Lott can use those good athletes. Coach Tommy had five years to put his mark on the program. He could not take Yoe to a title game. He was some what like Tom Ed Gooden a decent coach but could not deliver the title. If Coach Tommy was under intense pressure, he brought it upon himself, with some of his hiring practices at Yoe. The Brashear hire by previous superintendent is still under a lot of scrutiny by the Yoe fan base. The Board and Administration said Brashear coached with Rhoades and he was just as talented a coach as Rhoades. That opinion turned out to be totally false. The home boy hires at Yoe have never delivered a state title in football to my knowledge, hope for sake of fans --parents and athletes they continue they look outside when they need a coach. I wish Coach Tommy the best of luck in his future endeavors.

  35. He was there from 2013-2020 and went 62-33. And let's be honest, the AD duties had fallen by the wayside even when I was there. New coaches in just about every sport every year and "most" of the programs were/are REALLY down. Time to move on for my alum and hopefully better things for the WHOLE program are in store. We wish him and his family the best of luck moving forward and may god bless them!

  36. Again, the idea isn’t bad. Improve roads, transportation, etc... and yes, it will create jobs as well... but I read the initial report of this on CNN and could only find about $1.4 trillion and 300-400m of it wasn’t even about infrastructure

Sulphur Springs 45 I honestly don't recall a district race being this close between the top 3 teams...... 4 points separating first place from third place. Wowzers. Great day of competition...... The track events were intense between Longview, PT, and Marshall. Some incredible races. No doubt those are the three speed schools in the district. Fun day. -------------- 15-5A WOMENS TRACK FINAL STANDINGS 1. Longview 172 2. Hallsville 113 3. Texas High 101 4. Marshall 95 5. Pine Tree 65 6. Sulphur Springs 65 7. Mount Pleasant 8 Total domination by Longview. The race was for 2-4..... which easily could have ended in any order between Halls, THS, and Marshall. Field events were the difference maker. But the Lady Lobos left no doubt they were the best team there.
