CardinalBacker reacted to 2wedge in Bridge City officially opens AD/HFC/JOSH SMALLEY NAMED NEW AD/HFC
This is pretty simple if you understand the culture in LH. The varsity staff works with all coaches at all levels, even into little league, to teach the Slot T offense. The varsity coaches have monthly meetings with the little league coaches and get scouting reports on players coming up through the program so when they get into the 7th grade, the coaches already know who is who and who plays where. It is taught the same way in the 4th grade as it is taught at the varsity level, so the kids understand it and want to operate in that offense. Any dads who think their kids are going to be division 1 receivers and QBs take their kids elsewhere so that the only ones who are left are the ones who are committed to thriving in the slot T. This is the product of consistency in program leadership for many many years and the commitment of that leadership to build a successful program from the bottom up. Therefore, to replicate what LIberty Hill has is absolutely impossible without long term commitment and community buy in. Vidor has/had too many folks always looking for a reason to run Matthews off and complaining about the Slot T to even begin to try to replicate what Liberty Hill has.

the ONLY time BC matters is when them Jasper boys take them to the dark side of the woodshed. I know it's frustrating for you to have one of SETX regular bottom dweller teams. let's hope the new guy in town can maybe make playoffs in the future.
yes TyAnthony the only student going to college out of this graduating class. my son is a JR at UH. he was the only one in his class to attend college.

CardinalBacker got a reaction from TrojanMoJo in TyAnthony Smith Part II
Here's the crazy part... I can think of two guys from SETX that are currently on NFL rosters. Grayland Arnold (Kountze) committed to Baylor, then stuck with his commitment when Briles got the boot.... Then you have Roschon Johnson (PNG) who went to UT as a qb, then accepted a move to RB and is now in the NFL.
I don't expect many kids who can't keep their commitments to a school show any commitment to their career, either. The transfer portal and NIL are ruining college football, and by definition the NFL careers of many very talented athletes who will never develop their craft because they're too busy trying to land someplace else.
But that's just me.
Carry on.
Good luck with the Longhorns next year. We'll all be curious as to where you end up for 26.

In my opinion bridge city would be more competitive out of a slot t offense.

For all you “free thinking revolutionaries” out there, I’m done with your fascist rhetoric and fawning after a chicken hearted wannabe dictator. This is my last post. Choke on it.(though I reckon few, if any of you have the guts to watch all of it).

Science teaches - to have a fire you need three things… fuel, air, and ignition source.
I’d argue that to have a TOP TIER football program, you need athletes, coaching, and community support. Sometimes you end up with a really talented bunch of kids or a really exceptional coach and it’s the last thing that you needed… but not “the biggest reason for our success.” You can look at the recent local rises and falls of historic programs and take your own conclusions, but the fact remains… you’ve got to have all three to be consistently successful.
Did Coach Rowe at Bellville finally learn how to coach over the summer? No, he’s got a good group of kids. PNG has shut a lot of mouths that said “you’ll never see another SC from mid-county-they don’t have the athletes.” WOS is an example of what a great coach (or a not-so-good coach) can accomplish with a group of good athletes.
It takes all three (talent, coaching, and support) with the first two being almost equally important and the last being a minority third.

So your argument is that Jason Todd's coaching is not up to Jeff Joseph's level? That's nonsense. Todd can run with the best of them in the state and then some. Of course you have to have talent, but coaching is what makes talent successful. Lots of talented teams are going home early every year because of subpar coaching. Not too many great coaches are making early exits because they lack supreme talent. Of course, there are also those coaches who coach 5 division 1 defensive backs and even that level of talent isn't enough to ensure they can stay on the sidelines......

CardinalBacker got a reaction from Indianforever in PNG vs Liberty Hill ticket link
There were literally three false starts by Huntsville’s offense on their first drive against PNG.
Liberty Hill’s coach chose a stadium that would limit PNG’s fan base from attending in force.
Own it. Be proud. Even if it gives off SERIOUS feminine energy.
