Good, so we can expect SH to still be the powerhouse of the district? Wish Hector would have stayed for the kicking my buckeyes were gonna put on him haha

Did Spring Hill ever finally hire a new baseball coach? Heard several names but nothing confirmed. Anyone??

I hear windham may be a SH panther

I know his brother very well, brother asked him if anything was done to keep, answer was no. just for fun, what was the board waiting on? brother told me he told them (alot of he tolds i know) that he made it very well known he wanted his wife to have a job with him. apparently a job came open and he was told she MIGHT have a chance at it. I leave it at that and wait for him to come on. But to any SH person, did he make it clear at the banquet why he was leaving?????

Did you guys do anything to try keep him?? heard banquet was a good one

Panther, If you know Coach Hector at all, you know that it had to be rough on him to tell the young kids he was leaving. And if you know him at all, you know he has never been anywhere less the 6 years, so he is not a mover (Union Grove about 6 years, Gilmer about 9 or 10, SH 2) so he knows it takes longer than 2 years to build anything. Maybe he left because he didnt get the AD job? Maybe he left because SH only has 5 coaches on the boys side?? I know he was present and spoke at at least one board meeting. Maybe he left because issues he had with whatever. But i can assure you, if you know him at all, you know he loved his kids. Something there is not right at this time, saw on another thread where another coach also left. Only one coach remains from last years staff, possibly 2. Waiting for coach to come clear things up on here hahahaha

No doubt horns, there will be tons of applicants for this job! Probably the best job in the state, thats why he left! Now that Carthage out of district he wanted to go find other challenges

He lucked out getting out now because my buckeyes were about to pound him!! Ha im just stirring the pot, Looked up the place he is going, hardly seems like greener pastures, 6 wins this year. Im sure he has his reasons, must have been really frustrated, I know for a fact he has never lived outside upshur county. Good Luck Coach, your intensity will be missed at the Hill im sure. Question of the Day: with the post bev put at the top, will Hector and Bev reconcile before he moves?? Haha just pot stirring

I havent heard DFW but hear he is not happy with situation

OK lets have a real 16-3A baseball discussion Whats the best way to attack this district in the play-offs? I have seen both Carthage and SH play the mighty Bucks. Obviously they both have a dominant #1 with Day and Cellucci, we have a modest #1 in Traylor who did quite well in his starts vs the big guys in our district. Does any of our 16-3a teams have enough dominant pitching to go 3? Gilmer: Traylor, Hollis, Turner, Tomlin and Tomlin Carthage: Day, Gage, Harrison and im sure a ton more that werent needed much in district SH: Cellucci, Nance, then a few that havent pitched alot, robbins, methvin, watkins??? (due to some suspension lost a couple arms i think) Thoughts on how this will be handled by other districts? would they want a 3 gamer or a one gamer? Im assuming 16-3a would love one gamers

Call and ask Chadwick, he is the new AD

I still havent had anyone answer my question, except for the longview news-journal (story in weekend paper) 1. Will he keep the Off-season basketball program? 2. Will he keep Hector (will Hector stay) The above was answered in paper in story "with his east texas connection he will be able to use that network to assemble his staff" or something to that point.

The real question is: Will he be able to keep the quality coaches that you guys have on staff already or will he get rid of them to create spots for who he wants?? Will the basketball coach be able to continue the off-season stuff? Will the baseball coach stay?

Does Spring Hill have all their players back yet? I know they played without a few starters most of district

Panther- you guys better get ready for that beat down you will take in GTown tomorrow night!! We had Carthage beat and slipped up. I dont know about ya'll but Im ready to see rd 2 of Gilmer vs SH kitty kats

Why would you think Hector should run?

One hour til first pitch and the buckeyes bout to kick Henderson!!! Good Friday Day Baseball at Matt Camp Field!

Word from a source: down to final 16, . Starting tuesday (i think) each candidate will have 30 minutes to come to committee and sell themselves. 3 in house coaches applied and none made cut. hearing board or committee wants outside guy to come in and build a state champiopnship tradition. Im implying the in house guys must be gone?? purely speculation. name i have heard (and rumor was he was at track meet) is Chadwick from OC??

celtic, because those schools care about athletics just like 99% of other schools in east texas. How many coaches did SH lose to Sabine this year? You guys dont pay enough money. You have no loyalty to the ones you have, see above about hiring coaches spouses. So much for taking care of the people who work for you. Word on the street is that the coaching exodus out of SH is not over, expect more departures, not due to the district of doom, not due to the kids.

Couple things 1. Furlow was never at SLC (know for a fact) 2. What makes you think the coaches there are staying? 3. The jr high coach that has been there forever does a good job, he is the only full time jr hi coach 4. Does Hector/Lee/or Proctor not want it? 5. What makes Furlow the man (Hector was at Gilmer forever under Traylor, worked with Barr and Edwards on Defense and won 2 rings, Lee won one early in career) 6. What makes you think if they dont get they will be there? 7. Would think if Hector didnt get he would leave (not sure he will even apply, my in the know guy hasnt asked him) 8. POE supported all sports equally 9. Hector reportedly told board he thinks if they bring in a new coach, he should be able to bring in whomever he wants 10. Proctor has AD experience 11. Lee has another son in the 9th grade (i think) coming thru 12. Waldrip has a great job All the above staements have been either spoken and or confirmed

celtic09, would mark white support you in your quest to get coach stacy edwards to be the AD? And would he also follow some of you earlier comments about not hiring more football coaches?

Gilmer 10 runned WO and yall got very lucky to even be on the field with them!! You had your basketballers this past weekend, and......... you will see soon enough!

How bad did they beat WO?? How bad did you beat them?

Gilmer has better pitching and hitting. They are faster and stronger, plus they can bunt

Agree, Spring Hill is not very good. Carthage is the elite team in this district, figure Gilmer will be second, with Pittsburg and henderson battling out for the 3rd spot. Spring Hill not legit at all. Buckeyes sweep the district, except for Carthage
