And I will give a little inside baseball, for that opening game specifically, Gunter had two teams agree to play, then back out before it ended up having to hook up with Bishop. 1) No. I dont know exactly how/why Gunter got that game. That's why I said what I said. Because I didn't know. 2) You didn't actually explain how/why Gunter got that game specifically, just why they needed one. I had an idea of why they needed one. I just didn't know why they got THAT one. Not that I am owed any kind of explanation - because that wasn't even remotely the point of my mentioning it nor am I owed any explanation for it. I just did not know. The point of my even mentioning it was : 3) I'm not complaining about the team or the game; I'm playfully complaining about the distance we have to travel - actually making fun of my own complaining about a single game in an effort to acknowledge how far Canadian has to travel on a regular basis. It has zilch to do with Bishop. My reference to not knowing how we got that game was merely in passing - because I didn't know - despite your assumption otherwise. I get my information from people far more informed than me. You're one of them. Example : the first I heard of the Sherman QB moving to Gunter was from an article you wrote. That's the level of in-the-know I am at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattStepp Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Gunter got the Bishop game because they didnt have an opponent and Bishop didnt have a Week 1 game...so Coach Fieszel texted me when he saw me RT Bishop needed a Week 1 game and asked for the Bishop coaches #....a few minutes later he texted me asking about possible sites in the Austin area, so I have him the Pflugerville AD's # (who Monday was hired as the AD at Grapevine-Colleyville) and thats how the game got scheduled in Pflugerville... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add that second team Gunter had for Week 1 decided the week of realignment to back out, so there was next-to-no-time to ask around for essentially the one week everyone has set because it's the opener and is literally the one you know won't change based on districts. Compounding that problem was one district game got taken away with S&S moving west, so there was a second game they were going to have to find because they had scheduled four non-district games to go with six district ones, so on realignment day they were trying to get two holes plugged instead of one.

JasonDellaRosa Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Inside baseball is a phrase; it has nothing to do with baseball but means dealing with a lot of tiny details. maybe a better use would have been how the sausage gets made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it matter who has custody in these coach hire - transfer situations? Say parents are divorced and mom has custody and dad gets a new job.

Yes that matters, UIL rules state you must reside with your legal guardian, so if parents are divorced and Mom has custody that would definitely make things more sticky.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballboy23 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Grant may end up playing defense only. The Dodd kid or Hellman may be good enough to run that Gunter offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hear Dodd has had knee issues in the past. Could be bad info though. If so, will he be able to run the pistol option. I know he is a great pocket passer?

I believe all 3 could be successful at running the offense though. Gunter has plenty of skill players with Sloan leading the way but Hellman could definitely be the other slot. It’ll be a “competition” between all 3 for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEHARDWAY Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 dude is not on staff at GT, but might be interesting. Would think they would be better off letting Dodd, or the sophomore from Celina start for a few years….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
