He was supposedly a top college recruit. Did he hang around? I heard he moved back to Bremond and played for them this season. I think he was a Texas commit.

The house they rented got a lot of damage during the freeze which is another reason why they moved back to Marlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coachbearoso Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Marlin graduate of 79, played under Brown L Smith and Kent Bachtel. I have coached in the Houston area for 35 years. Good to see the Bulldogs back. Got a coach who is getting them all back out and playing with discipline. Crawford at full strength would have battled Marline to a close game, but their quarterback went out two games previous, then against Italy their great jr. RB/Safety, punter/kicker got a severe high ankle sprain against their close win against Italy. Too many injuries doomed Crawford. Marlin is peaking at the right time with a fairly young team. If both teams play to their potential, Marlin by 14. But Hawley is a seasoned team use to going far. The newness of this LONG playoff run is the only detriment to the Bulldogs (besides Shiner). Experience in playoffs is so important and also I don't know how often Marlin has had to come from behind. GO DOGS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coachbearoso Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hawley seasoned team and staff were the difference. How does a Marlin recruit with offers from Ohio State and A M touch the ball once, ALL GAME-in the state semi finals—makes one go “huh”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionpride08 Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 Marlin couldn't over come the 5 turnovers with a very young team... Play calling was simple and only ran a few plays. Blind side block td that was called back hurt. Marlin will be fine and even better next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluetopper Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Hawley was very typical of the Region 1 winner. Well coached, disciplined, playing mistake free ball like a machine. Spreading the ball around with good athletes, not great but plenty enough of them. A pretty salty bunch. You can beat a lot more talented teams that way. I’ve seen it time after time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no Hawley team and coaches did an outstanding job, it is called scoreboard which is why football is the greatest team sport. I was just critical of the management that the Marlin squad showed. Hawley DESERVED to win without a doubt. They are going to have that same type of game to beat Shiner. The only difference is Shiner is a seasoned team and coaching staff, but good luck and I am cheering fir you.

bluetopper Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I have no dog in this hunt at all other than I spent a lot of time in west Texas growing up and I have cousins coaching in Region 1 and I’ve noticed the sentiment on Smoaky is those teams are not given the credit and frankly frowned upon by many here. I’ll shut up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them in wildcat (like for the 2 point conversion), he's come around for sweeps, lots of ways. Hey I am a Marlin grad, excited for the new coach and what they did. Marlin football affects so many young men and the town. My participation (and guidance by DC Kent Bachtel of Waco Midway fame) pushed me to a vocation of coaching 36 years in the Houston area. Sometimes we coaches (I did against state champ La Marque in the Dome) get caught up in a game plan and afterwards wish we would have done something else. Marlins future looks bright with the new staff and i'll continue to watch from Harris county and wear my purple and gold. Also, RIP to Dave Campbell, his magazine was my #1 read since 76. He without a doubt influenced high school football more than anyone worldwide. Also love your Friday show on Baileys, don't get it here in Houston like we use to when it was on FS1.

It is like a mother dog feeding all her litter of 10, the bigger ones squeeze out the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
