jacketgrad06 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 That’s why they called the 06-07 teams the sons of tradition. Most on the guys on the team dad’s played on the 84 team that lost to groveton in the regional final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Program is about to return to its glory days I think. You’ll have to get used to something that y’all weren’t used to in the 80-90s etc and that’s a Joaquin program that has been on the turnaround TRULY since the day Wade Lawson and Jones twins put on the uniform almost 20 years ago. If you’ll look at Joaquin football prior to Lawson’s class donning the uniform you’ll see 0-10 seasons galore. Soon as Lawson and Jones twins and their class started playing ball you’ve had to start taking Joaquin serious. Seems like it’s been Lawson’s life mission almost to transform a once laughed at program into a respected program and ultimately a feared program. Soon as he 100% took the helm as head coach his winning spirit has infected the town. Him and the Jones boys are dogs. They ain’t got nothing but fight in them. As long as they are there Alto will have to contend with another type of tradition. One in the making. Them boys have had their crosshairs on Garrison, Alto, Tenaha, San Augustine for a long time, y’all are just now seeing the beginning stages of something 20 years in the making finally manifest itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree that y’all are starting to have that type of program that every year folks will have to worry about y’all. The last 10-15 years yalls team has been competitive and is always in the talks with a district title. It takes time and patience to get there and a town buy in. Winning the type of war y’all won last week just lays more to that foundation. No doubt that Joaquin is not a lay down and take it team. They will play with the best year in and year out. That’s all you can ask for is to have the not rebuild but reload culture. One last time from me - seems to be the last Alto guy left - great game from yalls boys and good luck the rest of the way. Hope all those guys heal up soon. Have a happy thanksgiving and enjoy playing afterwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To many of the folks in Alto anything less then 3 rounds is failure every year. That’s what you get when you have the success and record that alto has had the last 30 years. It’s funny to think how this region would’ve turned out if Joaquin doesn’t lose that game to Harleton. This game was worthy of a regional final as far as quality. I still truly believe the main problem that Alto had was the fact that they hadn’t had any true competition in weeks. Not only does that hurt the players but even coaches have to brush rust off. They don’t have to see what works in times of hardship with their players. By no means saying that if would’ve made a difference but some times a struggle is good for a team. I stood there wondering all night why they wasn’t throwing the ball to #19.... there at the end of the game and even most of the night Joaquin had single coverage on him... I really would have liked to have seen them throw the ball more .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could slow their run with our front so he was essentially doubled covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfanforever Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Maybe just maybe all Joaquin needed was single coverage but we never could cover the pass. But that was then and this is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramfanforever Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Thats right but have you seen #7 and # 60 they have dropped back on pass defence from their linebacker and defencive end positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
