  1. Coach Pope did not participate in the summer leagues. Although he was a good coach, player development is very crucial. These girls coming up now were downstream when he was there. Spring Hill is still suffering from a few years ago having those budget cuts. That's when coach Duncan was let go and also Coach Taylor on the boys side which now these two are running the program at Sabine. Spring Hill needs these coaches they have now to stay for a while and the programs will come back. These kids of late just saw too much turnover.

    I agree with your points, but how do you get good coaches to stay at Spring Hill?

  2. Pretty much yeah. Even though some do, but most of our athletic girls do not play soccer. They have have never played basketball, just soccer. The current girls varsity has 2 Seniors (1 playing her first year)Follow that with 1 Jr, 3 Soph, and 3 Freshmen. The JV is winless on the season. The fact is, these girls were "coached" by great ladies, but they were not basketball coaches. These girls can barely dribble the ball, let alone score. Most of the girls have quit, because they just can't play, which is fine, the game isn't for everyone. So, yes, the Coahes failed to teach the basic skills at the Jr High level, and so we are having to deal with it at the HS level. The current girls coaches are great, and doing a fantastic job with teaching, but we are really behind in the basic skills area. They work hard and will play to the end, but it will be awhile before we can really compete with most teams.

    I disagree, the problem started when the program let Coach Pope get away.

  3. Good luck to Coach McFarlin. I know his dad was a heck of a defensive coach, so I'm sure he has a great mentor in him to learn from. And if what gostwriter said is true,that he did a lot of the game planning and adjustments this last year, then I'm sure Lindale will be just fine.

    I like Coach McFarlin always been a good guy but at the end of the day they are still Lindale. Looking to finish 4th this year so we shall see,

  4. Mercer is doing a good job.

     

    We've got another tough year of football and then, the Mercer era will begin with groups of kids he's had enough time to work with. These 1st 2 seasons of his, he didn't have enough kids in the program to compete. They had all moved away or quit football long ago.

     

    He's doing good things. Year 3 will be better (the best in SH in a long time) and year 4, he will have us in the playoffs.

     

    Another big difference now is a DI and DII in 4a that didnt exist 4 and 6 years ago. Our younger kids are able to compete against schools more their size. They are all having success and staying in the program now.

    If Mercer can find an OC job back at the 6a level around the Plano area next year, he will be out of there. On a side note Spring Hill does has a couple of 9th grades that can play just need to find about 7 more of them.

  5. Only two football coaches were removed, the DC, and whatever the girls basketball coach coached. The rest were both tennis and both middle school basketball coaches. If anyone else leaves, it would be because they wanted to.

    The OC who wasn't calling plays had the title removed also. I am wondering how did he let go the best tennis coach Spring Hill ever had who also won state I believe?
