2019 FOOTBALL TEAM PREVIEWS

SHEPHERD PIRATES

2018 Record: 6-5 Overall, 2-2 District

3rd Place in 9-4A-II

 

The Shepherd Pirates were placed in a new district, but with the same result as the Pirates qualified for the playoffs for the fourth year in a row.  In 2019, Head Coach Miles Robinson will count on four returning starters on offense and five returning starters on defense, which includes veteran lines on both sides of the ball, in order to make the playoff run an even 5.

 

Head Coach: Miles Robinson

Assistant Coach: Jamin Savell (Offensive Coordinator/Assistant Head Coach), Kenny Washington (Defensive Coordinator), Cedric White (Offensive Line), Jeremy Bennett (Running Back), Cameron Wendell (Defensive Line), Chris Elmore (Defensive Ends, Outside Linebackers), Josh Meeker (Linebackers), Ben Goffney (Tight ends, Blocking Backs)

Offense:

Four starters return to the Shepherd gun wing offense in 2019.  Senior Dezmon Yates will take over as the Pirate quarterback. Senior running back Kenan Turner and senior blocking back Kolton Burton (2nd team all-district in 2018) will get plenty of work in the Shepherd backfield.  Look for senior Josh Weeks to also get time in the backfield.  Senior newcomer Chayce Jimmerson will be counted on to make plays from his wide receiver spot.  Senior tight end Cody Chreene will also be counted on in the Pirate passing game.  Senior offensive tackle Justin Capps return along with junior guards Brice Major and Ja'Kiry Brown to man offensive line which will also include sophomore center Mason Walters.

Defense:

Five starters return to the Pirate 4-2-5 in 2019.  Senior Jonah Bellard (2nd team all-district) will lead an defensive line which will feature Ruben Berrun and senior Clay Watson, as well as senior defensive end Gideon Johnson.  Inside linebackers Turner (1st team all-district) and Jerritt Whitmire (2nd team all-district) return to round out a stout defensive front.  Senior safety Ben Goffney and sophomore Alonso safety De Leon will step in to anchor the Pirate secondary.

Special Teams:

Senior Joel Valdez will do the place kicking for Shepherd while junior Carlos Renovato will do the punting.  Returners will be finalized during summer practice.

      It’s kinda weird…

      That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol.

      End Property Tax At 65?!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.

      They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
