STATE FINAL 4AD2 - Gilmer vs Bellville
SmoakyBandito replied to kingwolf's topic in High School Sports
Special season for Gilmer. Not how you start, it’s how you finish. Way to finish Gilmer! Enjoy it!! -
What a game. Both teams left it all out there. Carthage a year early. Great season! So much coming back. These seniors had a great career. Cannot help but to be happy for Gilmer. Way to go Buckeyes. Special win when not many were giving your guys much of a chance. Go win the whole thing! Gotta love TXHSFB.

5A Division I Region II Semi-Finals: Longview vs Lancaster
SmoakyBandito replied to LoboFan07's topic in High School Sports
Couple of things. Lol at someone saying Jeff Traylor has not proven he could win on the 6a level in HS football. Could he go to the worst schools in the state and win titles? No. But give him talent and he will win. Put him at Longview and they are on their way winning back to back titles in 5a DI right now. But I also agree with some others from Longview. Becareful what you wish for. Look at Marshall, Lufkin, JT and others in ETX. It can go south quick. Jon King is a sure thing. I actually think what other people have stated is a fantastic idea, find a young smart coordinator and let him run your offense. Have somebody handle your situational football. Train some guys. King runs an awesome program. Let him manage. He obviously connects with the kids. That won’t be easy for any coach to come to Longview Texas and do that. And for everybody bringing up Surratt. Just stop. You gotta be dumb to think he doesn’t win at any level of HS football with average to above average talent. Ask yourself this. What if instead of coming to Carthage in 2008, he took over Texas High’s program? They were rolling when he was there. Last thing. Carthage faithful should just be happy Carthage got extremely lucky with Surratt. 1-9 back to back seasons after Sleepy if I remember correctly. Bickham struggling to make playoffs with super talented groups. Even missed playoffs. On the way to being a below average program stuck in the mud. This is what it is at most HS in the state. Top managers like King are a rare breed. If it was easy everybody would be doing it.
