East Texas 2A - D1 San Augustine Shelbyville Joaquin Timpson Tenaha Garrison No one would have very far to travel and would make for interesting district

Not sure who was tougher, the refs or the Dragons! It was a close match for sure!

Please fill us all in Bill on how this is an exceptional hire in every regard because everything about it screams just the opposite in every regard.

They won one district game that year to get in. Great guy, I agree. Roll model? Absolutely!! A proven head coach? Far from it!! Wish him the best, but you can't say he has a proven track record!!

What about this is a "great hire". He is a great guy but I don't think this is a great hire. Look at the record. Please enlighten everyone on here how this is so great!

Again, you might check his record as a head coach before jumping on the band wagon. While I will agree that he has had success as a coordinator, he has not had any success as a head coach, so I don't think he is the one. Success as coordinator does not always translate to success as the head coach.

I will have to agree that Prince is a good guy as stated, but we might want to review his record as a head coach before jumping out there on this one. Probably NOT the man for the job. Not even sure why anyone would think that he is.

Which defense played pretty good? The guys in red or the ones in stripes? Just wondering which you were referring to?

Updates?

Not trying to take anything away from Franklin's victory, but I will stick to my statement that they are decent at best. They are good at what they do, but will get handled easily by Newton or Corrigan and possibly even Crockett. They definitely don't have the wow factor and I admit they don't have to. They won the game fair and square and so props go to them. Had they been in our district they would have been in our place in the 4th position unless they slipped by Crockett and managed to get third. I personally don't think we had any business being in the playoffs with a 4-5 record. We won 2 district games against sub par teams and make the playoffs. The system is flawed taking 4 teams and awarding mediocrity. Franklin won their district and are now the bi-district champions, so congratulate those guys on a job well done. However, I am just stating the facts. The mistakes I refer to were not caused by Franklin. We shot ourselves in the foot all night long and anyone that was there would have to agree. We would stop them on third down and end up with a facemask penalty or those types of things is what I am referring to. That is not caused by the other team. Oh and by the way, if the matchups I talk about happen and Franklin wins the game, I will be the first to come eat crow.

Too many mistakes by Garrison!! Franklin is decent at best. Do what they do well but no where near as dominating as the score looks. Newton, Corrigan and probably even Crockett are much better. Newton and Corrigan for sure will completely dominate them!!

I'm no coach and I wasn't at the game but I can not see putting your playoff hopes on the line by going for two and not kicking the extra point and forcing overtime. No guarantee to make the point but you don't look as bad just my thoughts.

If Shelbyville beats WS then why would SA not go? That gives both two losses with SA winning the head to head with WS.

Give credit where credit is due...congrats Dragons!! They beat us on both sides of the ball!! Now having said that...learn the definition of sportsmanship and class and try to apply it!! Also that has to be one of the worst officiating crews I've ever seen...not saying they caused the game to go one way or the other but wow they were HORRIBLE!!!!
