Blesseddaily has summed it up for me. I retired last year after 28 years and do not miss the public education circus at all.

Ok you got me!

That is what happens when adults try to play games with people.

Why?

Athens is the better job. Same demographics, way better facilities, get to be the AD. They have as good a chance of making a “run” as Center will ever have. Center is a band first, basketball second school.

They must get the numbers back up. They have only had 2 teams the last 3 seasons and that is unacceptable at the 4A level. There are so many games lost for the young kids in those 3 years. It was not that long ago that they had over 100 out for football now that number is in the 70 range. Have heard a very bad rumor that hey are splitting the AD/Football job and the AD might be a coach of another sport. I sure hope this is not the direction they choose because the Huntington blueprint of days past is not what you need to follow.

I think they should give somebody new a chance. No more recycling.

Why??

Got the stats I used from the Apex camp he attended. They are not the same as yours. 5-6 and 4.89 are a long way from 5-7.5 and 4.6. Wish him nothing but the best this season, I know in high school size means nothing but the truth is ok too.

I did a little research and the RB standing next to him is 5-5. Maybe all that working out that bigmoney knows about has improved his height/weight/speed. Stats I found are 5-6, 160, 4.9. I do know he is a very talented 3 sport athlete, playing PG on the reg final basketball team and playing 2b for their baseball team that went 3 rounds as well. Football may not be his favorite/best sport.

Got to go after Bowman I would think. Bring those glory days back.

Do not see this happening. If you have a 7 team district then you are going to have a 4 team district or two with only 93 schools in DI. You do the math and that is only 23 schools per region which is less that 6 per district.

No that has only come about in the last 10 years or so. When I started 27 years ago it was one of the most tight knit group of guys you would want to be around. But with todays "I want it now without earning it attitude" your statement does apply, that is why in a year and a half im chunking the keys..

In 27 years I have never seen a coach put a 90lb kid up against the biggest kid in the program to try and make him quit, and I have coached at schools with all kinds of AAAA's behind them.

Very glad I am nearing the end. The last 10 years or so have just gotten out of control. With everything from specialization in small schools to arguing about whatever "offseason" is. But the battle with parents has has made the job, well a job now, where it used to be fun.

bing, bing, we have a winner....

And on his 3rd job..

The UIL did not do this job any favors today. Frankston will toughen that already very strong district and they decided to bring the Waskom district back into region 3, which if not mistaken will be the first round match up for their district. Looks challenging to say the least.

Schedule has been done since November, nothing that happened today should have any impact on the non district schedule.

If you look at Corrigan's path, I think it was a real possibility, heck they scored 70 on their first two round opponents, so I do think if they could have somehow beat Corrigan it could have happened. The Corrigan score was 12-7 I think.

they were 4 or 5 over the number, still 3A DII

Not sure the program needs to be reshaped from the ground up. They were one play away from beating Crockett and Corrigan this year, both of whom went 3 rounds in the playoffs. So you can almost assume that they were one play away from the third round. They closed the gap tremendously from last year to this year against those schools. Eighth grade only had about 13 boys playing football this year and but JV was a decent team. It is not the football program that need to be reshaped but the culture of the "athletic program as a whole", approximately 40 boys in the athletic period that do not play football and at a school with 220 this is a huge problem to overcome for any coach. Weight room was not a priority under the coach that reaped the benefits of them being a big 2A school the previous realignment and that has been hard to overcome as well. Pretty sure this past season they could not have had more than 4 boys who weighed over 200 lbs. This is not the Garrison of 2003 and the people in the town have a hard time not living in the past. Probably will have 100 applicant like all small jobs do and they will have some good ones to choose from i am sure and hopefully they will choose the right person for the job. Good Luck to the Bulldogs in this search.

that is the MFL, high school is completely different on this, only the ball has to stay out of the endzone.

I do.

where do you put Waskom??
