New members making comments about time for changes and he was on a year to year contract. Well, I guess it is Honey Grove's gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a great job and had been in Leonard for 16 years. He had seven 2nd place finishes in District, a couple of 3rd's and a couple of 4th's, missed the playoffs a few years, but overall he was 103-83-1. Some new people got elected to the school board, got sideways with him and ultimately made life difficult enough that he said the heck with it and found another job.

supermaroon Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 Sad deal if true. But honestly Honey Grove might be a step down in terms of classification but it's a step up in terms of facilities and athletes. I think he will have an opportunity to win right away. As far as this job now this is taking way too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OleCoachB Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Stepp tweeted to expect a current Texoma coordinator for this one. If you're info is correct, it would be the Sherman OC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slickarick Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Took 5 Weeks to get this done. Wonder why it took so long. Glad they finally got a hire. Anyone know anything about the new guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraysonFan Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Not info on Leonard, but one of their district mates may be losing a player. Rumor I heard today that Bells has a big lineman transferring to Bonham possibly. Bells may be down a little, Leonard and maybe Howe could sneak up on them this coming season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OleCoachB Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Leonard doesn't have much talent coming up or returning. They are losing one of the best players in DJ Brown, how are they going to replace that production? Also, the new AD/HFC testified in the Gunter transfer situation so I'm willing to bet that Gunter is going to drop as many as they want on them when they play.

supermaroon Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 Going to be a tough night for the Leonard tigers when they play Gunter definitely feel like there is a chance of the score getting run up just to make a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can call it 'cheating' all you like, but the fact is that a group of petty adults are hindering a great kid from being able to play his sport his senior year.

bradbankman Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 How are things over there? Heard it has started out a little shaky. Rumor is after accepting the job a school board member or administrator already had to contact the new leader and tell him that he has to meet with the kids and coaches at some point? Surely he is smarter than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Parents and coaches should not try to "game" the system and put a good kid at risk of being able to play his senior year. Very irresponsible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
