That running back from Jasper was little, fast and powerful.........He was the huge part of their offense, but starting running out of gas in the 2nd half.

I know that band director at Center well, and he isnt going anywhere.....

Word is Aaron Handorf is going to replace him. (That was his asst.) They are still going through the process of interviewing and such to make it legal. Unless something drastic happens.....Aaron will get the job.

Any word on Chapel Hill?

Whitehouse definetly has some returning talent/along with some studs stepping up from JV, but I think we are going to be losing alot. Hope we can make up the difference...... PMD!

So who are you EDBD2009?

Well, while we are talking changes.....Anyone know about Chapel Hill. Heard Glenn Wells took the Kilgor College job, but have heard nothing about who is applying or might get Chapel Hill!

Mark Melton was announced as the new Pine Tree HD last night!

No one knows yet...kinda weird!?

Who are you hearing that from Troup? I have heard all of the other, but am wondering if the Troup director is actually leaving or its just talk that he wants to.

Heard Pine Tree ISD will be looking for a new HD next year!

WOW! The Whitehouse High school band has like 300 in it....and im sure the Band Director doesnt make that.

I would love for you to get started on band directors.....just curious! Some are underpaid, and some are WAY over paid based on my knowledge. What I do know is that most people have no idea what the band directors REALLY do. And if you werent in band, its going to be really hard for me to take you serious, or if you were one of those football coaches that was just really mad at your band director for one of two reasons.....either he/she was really lazy and they didnt deserve their pay, or you were just mad that you lost alot of kids to band.

This too, shall pass!!!

You're absolutely right on the buying them every 10-12 years....but you probably also know that band programs grow drastically in East Texas. Sooooo, the next time its time to buy, maybe we could save the 90,000 and not buy them. You are wrong on the 45,000 for 100 kids....It all depends on what you are buying....if your buying corps style, then maybe 450 for a uniform. But if your buying a full Military uniform......600 easy. You're also wrong about parents buying all the instruments......Ill use a surrounding 4A school for example. The parents to buy some of the instruments, but this school supplies the Tuba, Baritone, French Horn, and most if not all of the Percussion. A set of good timpani costs around 20,000, a Tuba...9,000....A Euphonium, 4,000......A French Horn, 3,300...... So YEAH, I have a clue :bangin:

1 Fully outfitted band uniform costs $600-$700! DONT CUT BAND!!!!!!!! But maybe not have uniforms? I DO NOT EVER want that to happen.......But if you got 150 in the band...Theres about 90,000 saved....

I think I just threw up in my mouth! :sick:

Does anyone know how he is doing? I would love to read that he gets to spend time with his family at Christmas!

I have no idea how to predict these types of things, but I will say that Whitehouse has a shot of NOT making the playoffs based on what we are losing!

No one typically "Rolls" in a state championship! Silly to think otherwise!

This is fun........just like reading the Whitehouse vs Sulphur Springs posts! He said, she said, woulda, coulda........I think that by Sunday........the game that is being posted on should be shut down and taken off. This would free up some room on the Smoaky site. PMD

Ive been a negative nancy on this to our east texas teams winning it all. I knew Longview and Chill would not be able to win it all. ( No disrespect.....I just had a feeling ) But, Carthage.........I think they have this one...... Great job to Henderson, Longview, Chill, and all the other east texas teams that went deep this year. We are proving to the state that you dont have to be from Houston or Dallas to win it all, or atleast make a run. Carthage wins by 7

:hug: :yelp: :mellow: :blink: :sick: ...........That is basically the 4 quarters of play, then the fans after the game. Tuff break Longview! I was hoping for Henderson Longview and Carthage..........Lets go Carthage

HENDERSON WINS! I knew they would! I said it to some friends last year when we found out they were moving down. Good season Chill..... Congrats Henderson.....

I dont think I have picked a winner of this game. HENDERSON WILL ROLL ON THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!! Gonna send the Chill Bulldogs home with their tail between their legs.
