101% Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Logan Turner, Commits to SMU. I heard his dad could coach as well.:rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcatrunner06 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 He was an amzing coach...he was my football coach when i was there so i should know....im not quite sure why the school district let him go...he took ss to the playoffs 4 of the 5 years he coached there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITSGAMETIME Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Maybe they were looking at the overall picture rather than the benefit of one talented young man. Not knocking the Turner family. Great coach and awesome son and football player. Neither of us know the reason for letting him go, therefore it's not our place to judge neither the district or the Turner's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaorder1999 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 turner left the football program in better shape then it was when he got there. He won games. His program produced NUMEROUS scholarship players. THe excuse I keep hearing....well...if he left it in better shape then why was there just one receiver that caught a varsity pass last year? Why wasnt there a QB coming into this year that had at least one varsity throw....blah blah blah.... turner stepped right into that situation at Springtown and has competed well and Logan is leading the state in ALL classifications in passing. His receivers are doing great too and will get college scout attention now that they are putting up great numbers. Turner did what he was paid to do....run his program to produce quality, young men AND win games along the way. SUlphur Springs ISD showed everyone that pleasing the townfolks was MUCH more important then letting him do his job and do his job well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bordertown Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 3-4, scored 232 pts, given up 239 pts. Looks like office is humming but the defense is suffering. The oddest thing I can remember he moved their stud safety (Kenon Clayton - I think) to middle linebacker against Texas High. The kid was undersized for the position and Texas High riddled the SS defense. To say the least, the move did not work at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ31 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Originally posted by kaorder1999undersized? what are you talking about? He was a little undersized to play LB. He had good size for a safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew328 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Clayton was far from undersized what he was like 6'3 190?? I've seen plenty of High School LB's smaller than that..I don't think anything SS would have done woulda stopped Texas High that game as was..so I guess it was worth a shot... Turner is doing a good job at Springtown, he doesn't have NEAR the athletes or numbers he had at Sulphur and they play in a brutal district with 5A drop downs Fossil Ridge and Boswell along with a solid Birdville squad and always tough Azle...

cotton29 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Springtown is in the same shape SS was when Turner was there. Great offense but no defense. You aren't going very far like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ31 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 He was 6'1" and about 180. Right now after two years of offseason in OU's program he is listed at 210. 6'1" and 180 is undersized for a LB, regardless of how many other LBs smaller than that there are in high school football (and I know there are many). They're all undersized too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THSfanatic Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Sulphur Springs hasn't shown any defense in the last 5 years. They won't show much in this district race either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaorder1999 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Clayton was VERy close to 200 lbs his senior year. That year Sulphurs two middle linebackers were about 160 and 170. Clayton was bigger then both of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordertown Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 A 200# MLB couldl not get it done against Texas High two years ago. Dustin Earnst was 225 and I think Collins was about the same size before him. The Texas High fullback moved him out. May have not been because of his size, I apologize. It could have been in 1 week he did not know how to play the position. I am not ragging on Clayton. He was a great player as evidenced in the fact he is a Land Thief. My point is Turner moved him from S to MLB and in my opinion instead of being weak at MLB, the team was weaker at both MLB (with Clayton) and at S (without Clayton).

flounder Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I sure do wish that you Turner boys would move on. Who cares? That is old news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundupfosho87 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I went and watched SS play a couple of games last year under Turner, and I had seen 2a and 3a defenses more physical and just all around better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcatrunner06 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Yea sulphur springs' defense has really been down ever since Coach Cameron died in '94 and they had a pretty dominant defense the next year when Chuck King coached there which was the last year they got as far as the Quarterfinals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
