Shoot I remember back in the mid 90s kids that couldn't make it at 5A Baytown Sterling would transfer to BH to be able to play. One ended up being all-state in 3A I think in football and baseball but couldnt crack the lineup at Sterling. My have things changed.  This was during the 5A district that had Lee, North Shore, Sterling, Central, West Brook, PAJ, PNG.

He inherited all those sports going deep. He was supposed to step up the FB program. Good luck next year. 

lol, little league coaches. Classic. Your telling us that no coach ever goes away from his original game plan in the middle of games? Yep, this the BH DC.😂

You are correct, it is not little league coaching to strategize to stop the opponents best weapons, but it is little league coaching to assume that strategy was not part of the game plan coming in. I assure you, the entire BH staff knew about the biggest weapons on the Richland team as of late Friday night of last week and were scheming to shut them down. That plan was in place and wasn't properly executed. Sometimes, the other team is just better than you. Do I believe Richland was the better team overall? No. Do I believe they were the much better team in the second half and executed their game plan to perfection? Yes. Blowing big leads in the second half is indicative of players who take their foot off of the gas and aren't up for the challenge of fighting back to the accelerator when they get punched in the mouth. Richland proved they have those types of kids, BH has proven several times this year that they don't. Abseck's biggest challenge in the offseason is trying to produce a little dog in his guys so they know to put their foot on the neck of a downed opponent and finish them off. This point was illustrated by highly criticized 2 pt conversion try in OT. It was the right call because Abseck knew what I knew while watching the game, if the XP was kicked, and Richland was given possession, they would've scored and punched in the 2 for the win. BH's only shot of winning that game was to put it in a position where Richland couldn't control the ultimate outcome of OT. 

Boy, all the little league coaches are out in force on this thread. Do you guys not think they watched plenty of film and game planned for what Richland would do offensively? Do you not think the BH coaches built that game plan in such a way that if it was executed properly they believed they were in the best position to win? Varsity coaches rarely call a time out and tell their players to "crash every play" and "hit #1 in the mouth whether he has the ball or not". Those are things you say when you call a timeout during your 9:00 am game full of 4th graders on Saturday. The story of this game is the letdown after halftime and how momentum is a mother. It's hard to blow a huge lead like they did and be able to plug the holes in the boat in real time. The coaching staff did a excellent job all season and just got caught in the second half on Friday. Back to the drawing board for BH. 

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Had not seen the updated numbers.  Co-MVP was 9 which is interesting. 

Elite 8 out of 128 that started in the playoffs is really good and BH had the toughest road to get there as well.
Yesterday BH had its chances, had leads of 24-22 in set 2 and 19-14 in set 3. Every point matters.  Have to wonder how much the quick turnaround from Friday to Sat game impacted the game.  

If mc north has a good offensive scheme I’d say 
BH45
MC N-42
game is at BH so long bus ride and terrible officiating will be going against MCN. Good luck to both teams.

Foster is a really good team, that should not have been a 2nd round matchup while FW and Manvel had cakewalks the the first two rounds. The regions really need to seed the tournament vs this predetermined district matchup crap they do now which is just easy on UIL.
The good news is the Eagles played well and put it way in 4 after being up 2-0. As others have said, that experience should bode well in tight situations.  BH has beaten Friendswood back in August so they know they can do it again.  It is time to break through the 3rd round barrier for this group. In the last two weeks, wins over Clear Springs who is also in the regional 6A qtrs and that Foster team were great tests. 
 

BH QB needs to run more. 3rd and 2 late in the game and he could have easily scrambled for 2 instead of throwing two incomplete passes.  I don't know if he has been told not to run but he needs to show it to either get those easy yards or to open up throwing lanes.  I did not see the RB come back in after the fumble either, was he hurt on that play? 
 
I mean up 21 against a slow time consuming offense the absolute worst thing you can do is give up big play quick scores. The two long runs on btb plays was mind blowing. With that said, if offense punches it in from inside the 5 the game is over at 28-14.  A fail on both sides of the ball. 
And I thought our kicker was decent, not even a thought of taking the points?

Cough …cough. Can’t seem to clear my throat 

In 4A, BC, Vidor and Lumberton are all tied for first. BC and Lumberton will play Thursday at LCM at 6:30. The loser will be the third seed. The winner will play Vidor Friday to decided first and second.

All dat money for dat coach but no playoffs… -in my Bobby Boucher voice.

Absolutely correct!! I'm truly glad someone sees the bigger picture.its exactly what's happening to w.o. and not to throw shade at the coaching staff.but, they're a lil delusional on how they're supposed to be getting better.no matter the yr.they have never given up this many points week end and week out. Something that really hadn't happened in over 35 yrs.he says they're getting better.i don't see how.

This, you have to have talent, its not strictly Xs and Os.  I have seen coaches destroy talent by running the wrong system. IE had spread personnel but brought in the triple option because that's what he likes.
A good coach looks at what he has, uses the best system to utilize that talent and then it comes down to how does he relate to them, how does he motivate them, how does he adjust when they study your film and take away what you want to do. A lot of the deeper rounds of playoffs comes down to who can adjust the best when your game plan gets thrown out the window.

It's certainly a mixture.  Great players can only overcome so much poor coaching, but in the same breadth, great coaching can only elevate marginal players so far.  The players are the most important part, because you'll never win without them, but the coaches will play an important role.  

Great coaching recognizes the talent their players may or may not have then adjust their system around those players to put them in the best position to win.
One example is BISD having lots of talent but without a proper coach the y can't produce wins. Another is Crosby being consistent winners until their coaches left and they hit rock bottom.  One Crosby coach goes to Chapel Hill and makes them winners instantly. There is too many examples of this to list

Wouldn’t go that far. The Larry’s & Joe’s aren’t much good if they’re in the wrong place, or wrong position.
They also can’t make their own in game adjustments.
If straight up & optimized—yes—Larry’s & Joe’s. But, like combat of a different sort, nothing is ever totally optimized.
Just thoughts of an old man. Pay me no heed.

When you are 3 rounds deep or deeper talent is fairly even. Then it is all coaching.

If Sterling can handle PNG Tuesday, then a tie breaker game will be held Friday between GCM and Sterling I assume.
Pretty important game, as the 3rd place gets Manvel and 4th place gets Friendswood. 
Bi-District matchups appear to be
BH vs LaPorte
Nederland vs Sante Fe
RSS/GCM vs Manvel
RSS/GCM vs Friendswood
