7-3 at WH will get the stadium named for that coach.

The team that scores the most points. At least that’s what the experts say on some of the other threads. “Team X may have to just outscore their opponents to win.” Sounds like a solid strategy.

It’s not like they hired someone thinking he was some new-age coach with “modern” methods. Like him or not, the guy has a well known reputation as a hard-nosed, old school, smash mouth football coach. I can guarantee that he didn’t represent himself as anything different during the hiring process. To hire a guy like that and 2 weeks into the season terminate him because parents complain about his methods makes no sense.

I’ll have to ask my friend on the school board.

Ok, here’s the scoop. This comes directly from Coach Jason Ferguson. In a meeting with the LKISD superintendent this morning, it became clear that he and the administration have very different visions for their football team as well as their athletic program in general. He was asked to resign and refused, and also refused a reassignment. So he was terminated. An interim AD/ HFC is in the works as he understands it. He wishes the student-athletes of Linden-Kildare ISD nothing but success. That’s what Coach Ferguson told me just a few minutes ago. Remember to keep discussion of this matter within the rules of the forum. There will be several mods watching this thread. Anyone speaking ill of the coaches, students, administrators or community members at LK will be suspended. It will not be tolerated.

What you’ve heard is irrelevant. Back it up with a reputable link. The next time any of you hear from a mod on this matter will be in a PM telling you how long you are suspended for. Rumors do not fly here.

Let’s keep this about the game this week between the current Shelbyville and Waskom teams please. Remember, the seniors on the field this year were in the third or fourth grade when that happened. No good can come out of rehashing it now.

I’m leaving your post up as a “teachable moment” so to speak. We don’t deal in rumors and speculation here. Regardless of your personal feelings about an institution, a school district, or any of its employees, you are talking about people’s careers and livelihood. Going forward, please post a link (an article from a reputable news source, official press release from a school, etc.) to validate something you are saying. What you’ve heard, or what you “know for a fact” is useless without a link to back it up. Further discussion of this issue without a link to validate it, or questioning this moderator’s decision in open forum, will result in a suspension. If you would like to PM me, I will be happy to discuss this with you further. Keep everything in the forum about the kids and the game. Thank you.

Correct. No way they get left out at 11-1.

Looked like BAMA was just trying to run out the clock and USF was just too tired to tackle. Props to USF for the fight they showed. They played aggressive the whole game. BAMA has a lot of work to do to be a playoff contender. Our lack of depth on the O-line got exposed big time.

The last several years, 2023 being the outlier, Joaquin has at least been equal with Tenaha in terms of athleticism. The fact that the Rams have had an advantage in the trenches has allowed them to win 3 out of their last 4 meetings. Once again, that appears to be the case. In a best case scenario for the Tigers, athlete for athlete, it’s a wash. The Rams are better at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, and it’s not close. Football games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage. If they play a somewhat clean game, it won’t matter what Tenaha does. Rams win this one comfortably.

Cardinal is an annoying little bird that eats worms. Eagle is a great big bird that snatches baby sheep away from their mama and eats them while they are still alive. Eagles is mean. Mean people win football games. Eagles win big.

Little Rock SW doesn’t qualify because they’re out of state.
