  1. Henderson’s D will make adjustments from last.  They missed several  tackles. The offense didn’t really start scoring till the 2nd half.  They have a lot of weapons.  I think it will be a much closer game than the majority thinks.  QB didn’t play much in the 2nd half due to cramps and they still put up several points.

  2. Henderson coaches are making sure they know who can play, no reason to try and win a scrimmage.  When Henderson had their first team O on the field they moved the ball.  When the QB is able to run it will open everything up.  Their starting RB's got very few snaps last night.  And the TD Nac scored was on the 2s on the very last play of the live quarters.   Henderson was down 2 DL last night and missing 1-2 starting LB.   The D made big strides since last weeks scrimmage.  They were running a few sophomores on D and I think even a freshman DL.   Home opener against Hallsville will be a better indicator.

    Yes relationships are a huge part of success.  And coach player relationships are some of the strongest and most meaningful.  But something equally important is having an admin that cares about the community and not just promoting themselves to move on.  The superintendent isn't invested.  HISD is a stepping stone for him.  He already upset the community by doing what he did to a great coach and man.  He just wants to build his empire.  This decision will not be a good one for Henderson ISD.  And from what it sounds like, he already had his guy before interviews started.  I live in Henderson.  And we the people are not happy.  Henderson is going down a bad road.  When the board is brainwashed it can't be good.

     

     

    "We the people"?   I don't think its all the people.

    There is no way I would leave RICE for Henderson TX.....EVER.....I wouldn't care if I was equipment guy.  Henderson is on a down slide in athletes and the job doesn't even have AD attached, so it won't pay much at all.  I think the people in Henderson have delusional visions of grandeur about how attractive this job is.  🤷‍♂️

    Down slide in athletes?? Henderson had several athletes on varsity, several juniors. Freshman had several athletes. Records don’t always speak for ability or potential. Coaching has a lot to do with that. Building relationships with players where they want to play for you can turn that around fast. 7th and 8th were loaded this year.  Little off on your statement. Or maybe a lot.

    Ok enjoy living in the shadows when you could be in the spotlight Lionman.  The 2016 Lions should have won a state title but got out coached.  Most talented team in 4A D1 that year IMO.  Been going backwards every year since.

    I agree 100%. The 2016 team was very good.  The team was missing their top DL for that game but that is in the past.   I think every team has been living in the shadows of Carthage over the last several years.       Henderson also went 4 rounds deep in 2017 and 2018.   That typically mean a team has had success.

    Way more to the story? No, either they are or aren’t transferring out. I don’t think anyone have a reason why so that’s irrelevant. 

    Or family members getting a job in the district??    Like I said HISD just doesn't have players transferring out.

    See post above.  A net enrollment gain doesn’t mean student athletes are not leaving.  And if they leave and start for the defending state champs, they are pretty talented.

    Way more to the story on this.   Funny how people think they have it all figured out.

    At some point you gotta figure there is a reason why players are transferring out of the district.  Some self reflection might be a good start.

    Henderson dosnt have players transferring out of district. Henderson's enrollment this year has increased.

    Lionman - lets think through this a little.  Last week Spring Hill lost the White Oak game and attempted to replace it all week while starting to work on the game plan for Henderson.  All the while game after game in East TX cancelled due to Covid issues.  Finally late Wed night we got the call from Community and had one day of prep to get ready for Fri.  Knowing that Henderson had already lost the Kaufman game last week due to concerns over Covid in the community, why would Spring Hill risk repeating the previous week and potentially end up without a game when Henderson has already opted to go virtual for two weeks out of caution?  I hate that this is even part of the strategy now but it’s something every HC and Supt has to deal with.

    Henderson went virtual because we had teachers out.  Not because we had a lot of students out.  So Spring Hill will send everyone else from other sports but not Varsity Football?  Doesnt make sense. Especially when Henderson is not battling cases in the football program.  

  10. Henderson shut down for 2 weeks to get some of teachers back at the high school.  People arnt lining up to substitute for any school this year.  In fact high school students that need to can still go to the school for internet access, breakfast, and, lunch.  The shut down of in person classes had nothing to do with student cases.   Henderson never had close to 100 cases, that's ridiculous.  In fact Spring Hill is still bringing their middle school football teams to Henderson to play and their varsity Volleyball team.  Henderson dosnt have any covid issues in high school football program.  So Spring Hills decision to cancel the varsity football game makes zero sense.

    Why did those starters quit? I heard we may have a problem with kids playing for him. Overton wasn’t mentioned though. 

    Some moved, some didn’t like competing, and some got into trouble.  I guess that’s the best way to put it.  There wasn’t structure.  He put in structure and not all kids can handle it.  Paul Pewitt will continue to do well.

    I hope you’re right. I’ve heard the opposite. I like what you have to say better. 

    You probably heard someone connected to year 2 of his Overton stint.  The year after he took them 2 rounds deep in the playoffs and then had several starters quit before year 2 started.  Nashville Dosnt just hire anyone and he walked right in and took the DC job there.  Y’all made an excellent hire.
