    I don’t necessarily agree with this especially concerning baseball. Baseball/ softball is a sport that requires development of skills from a young age. If a program is trying to develop kids into top notch baseball players beginning in junior high, they will never be competitive. Look at Carthage. Most, if not all of the kids that start for them play at least some travel and tournament ball from the age of 8 on up. It shows up in teams that are consistently good year in year out. Basketball and football rely more on athletic ability than does baseball. Girls basketball tends to rely more on great coaching than many sports. A great girls coach will consistently put a good team on the floor regardless of talent level. 

    True, good philosophy. Got to find a way to solve the burnout problem that occurs about high school level. Percentage of kids that play high school ball that started as 5-6 year olds is a lot less than most people think. Let’s say 100 play the little ball but only 25 play high school— figure it out. Just my guess. Keep running the slot!

    Maybe some programs should withdraw their team from UIL competition and just do some practice and scrimmage stuff to build the program until they can compete?  At some point the schools that are getting beat like this have to look at what they are doing, right?  I know theres some powerhouses out there that are gonna lay it on a lot of teams, but I don't think we have a huge problem with coaches running it up on hapless teenagers.

    There's no rule that says you have to compete participate in all sports.  

    This post has some merit to it but what if it was a baseball team getting beat badly, how many schools in the state of Texas would tell the team that y’all are losing so badly that from now on you can come out and practice baseball and we will play a couple of intrasquad game this year.?

    I'm a wing-t guy and not a fan of the offenses that throw it a lot. But you do realize that they ran the slot-t and went 4-6/3-7 and their coach got fired? 

    Also, there are multiple versions of "the spread" most of which are run oriented. One of the main reasons guys run it is to open up QB runs that they can't do from under center 

    Wing and slot man here. I understand all the reasons for the spread but sometimes it be hard for old school guy to buy in. True Spread has qb and one back most of the time . If they are a running out of that formation it is not hard to decipher how many backs are going to carry the ball/— less any motion stuff. Wing and slot formation last time I checked had 4 possible running backs to carry. “Oh but they are going to load the box against us”——-Please do!!!!   Just saying.

    If I was the coach I wouldn't take less than 5. It will take at least 3 to get it turned around IMO.

    Had a SC winning coach tell me one time, " it takes time to build a program, it only takes a year to destroy one."

    Yep, I would guess that the new coach has a re-sale job on his hands. The morning after he is hired he needs to be in the halls meeting kids , shaking hands, and introducing himself. Stay away from the administration offices. Just my take.

    If this is the Tenaha/ Timpson/ Joaquin district, I know Tenaha has run away with the district title and Joaquin and Timpson are in the playoffs. Not sure of the seeding or who the other playoff team is. Tenaha seems to be an elite team this year. 

    Wrong district. 21Aa has Douglass, New Summerfield, Alto , Cushing and couple of others
