Congrats to Beckville.
High School Football is an amazing thing.
Seeing outcomes like this upset, keeps me from being a gambler!!!

This entire saga at MV has been hard to wrap my mind around.
I hate all this drama for the kids. To be horsewhipped and almost hung due to ineligible players, then to clear them and now to start the mud slinging again. GOOD GRIEF
Live the American Dream- Be a DRAMA MOMMA

So did you do that when Emmitt Smith held out for a bigger contract in 1993, and Dallas lost the first two games of the season after leading the league in rushing the past two seasons ? Emmitt became the highest paid running back 26 years ago by doing that. Jerruh needs to shut up and pay Zeke.
Yes
Again, I don't give two cents about the NFL.
Too much greed, individualism, stupidity, egos, etc...........
Owners really own nothing. Players........., well the more they make, the more they feel they are above the law. Just watch the sporting news. Almost daily there is a story of some rich football athlete breaking the law and mostly, getting of the legal hook.
And to say my last words, the pro football dudes who retire and then go broke........ they make me sick when they go on TV and cry about how life ain't fair. Another definition of stupidity.
I am now off my soap box

Hallsville people should be all over this topic.
There is a man there who has/had a streak of 40+ years of never missing the Bobcats.
Not real sure where he stands now.
Longest that I've ever heard of.
I believe his last name is Hunt and if I got the story right, he even missed his daughters wedding to attend a game.

They say that Dallas is "Americas Team"
That must be true.........
Elliot is doing what is cool for Americans, pout and not be a team player.
NFL players are just playing for the money and not for the true spirit of the game and the fans.
I have washed my hands with the NFL(no future left). Owners have no balls and players are too greedy

Adrian Peterson from Palestine was a great high school athlete. Maybe the best Ive ever seen.
He has 250 yards rushing against Hallsville, but lost the game.
TEAM beat individual

7 on 7, to me, is a stupid game of tag.
Too many times ,in too many sports, kids are expected to play during the summer.
You wanna know why kids are burnt out and quit sports.
Its the schools fault for pushing kids to perform during the summer instead of having time to be a kid.
Good grief...... weights, 7 on 7, summer baseball, summer basketball, summer track, summer volleyball, travel this and select that.......DANG
Let the kids have time to rest up. Go fishing, have a vacation, a little break in the action. All work and no play makes Jack(Jill) a dull boy(girl).
Summer time for high school kids should be just that, summer time , not school time.
Just my opinion

Coach H is a heck of a coach and even a better man.
Not sure what caused the change at Mt. E but they lost a good man. In my opinion
Best of luck to him and Mt. E

Coach Melinda Smith at Union Grove.
Has been coaching for 50 years this season, still active.
All years at her home town, Union Grove, except a couple.
Thats coaching longevity

You are misinformed or stupid.
Both schools agreed on cancellation
Be sure and get facts straight before you post

Congratulations to Hallsville and awesome job to Coach Mitchell

Football was very good to me.
Paid for all my college.
I wasnt the biggest or fastest. Broke a leg, hand, dislocated fingers, and one concussion.
Would do it all over again!!!
It taught me discipline(along with my parents and brother), hard work, dedication, toughness and committment. These are qualities most of the young kids today run from.
The decline in football is due to parents not letting kids grow up, giving them everything(or no support) and not making their child respect people, coaches, teachers, elders, or life.
Football today, jr. high, high school, college or NFL, is weaker due to poor attitudes and lack of committment. Too worried about injuries, concussions, and not always being the starter.
The great game of football is just a shell of what it was.
SAD!!!

Wow, took until the second post for someone to mention the football program and the Stadium. Congrats EastTXfootballFan on being the first! I figured on here it would come up often when it really doesn't make a difference now does it? Anyway.
The stadium is a big deal here in Pine Tree. I am for it. I think a nice stadium would be great for the school and anybody who has ever been knows it is one of the worst in East Texas, Sulphur Springs being maybe a tad worse. Its not a $20 mil stadium by the way, other things are rolled into the bond. Plus there is some other money coming in to help.
Look at this way, its not $60 mil! :)
P.S. I think it will be a close vote in passing, if it does. Right now the Vote No crowd is more vocal and out there than the Vote Yes crowd. So lets go stadium supporters.
New Diana will take any schools old stadium.
Before you cry about yours, come see ours. P.U.!!!! :thumbdown:

Oldlady............
Its hard to raise racehorses in a mule barn!!!!
The school should take pride and build better facilities for West Rusk!!!
I think the lack of pride comes from the school board, superintendent, and community.
And, while I'm on the soap box, so should New Diana!!!!

I remember a player that played for Kilgore back in the 1990's. I think his last name was Nix, and he signed with Notre Dame after high school. He was one of the best defensive backs I can recall that played at the high school level. He was a beast. If you are from Kilgore and remember him, I may not have his name right, but I remember him as the player.
This young mans name was Ronnie Nicks. Played free safety and would rip your head off!!!
Great person, heck of an athlete

:thumbdown: I guess Sabine (Hogeye) can be called the Houston Yates of East Texas!!!
It is sad for coaches to be so classless.
Get way ahead and stall. Don't embarrass a team!!!
-
Just visit all field houses (football fields, gyms, any athletic facility) in district 18 AA, maybe east Texas, and you will see that New Diana's is the worst!!! :thumbdown:
Congrats to Sabine!!!

I coached this young man many years ago.
He will do a good job for Waskom if given the chance.
So what, he was a head coach in soccer. At least he has been a head coach!!!
The boy knows football too.
Good luck to you, Whitney and congratulations to Waskom for hiring a good one!!!

I went there for an interview.
The A.D. has picked "assistant" coaches from people on the teaching staff and said that I could not bring in any assistant coaches. :thumbdown:
Bad deal.
Do they really want to win????
The next head coach will coach with his hands tied. :banghead:
Kinda like the Dallas Cowboys head man!!!
Good luck to T.K.
Pottsboro vs. Gladewater - Regional Final
in High School Sports
Posted
this is what I saw.
The boys didnt take care of the ball. Too many turnovers
Covering the pass was a chore. Too many big plays
Too many untimely penalties
Pottsboro is a good team but I feel, overall, the Bears was the best team on paper. But hey, thats why they play the game.
Gwater coaches did a great job and the kids, most of the year, played well.
Congrats to the Pottsboro.
