Yep. Hey you can find me on the sidelines this year at the Thomas Center for both teams. I’m team BISD. This is why I made the new name change to BearWolf

I believe most will call it the Beaumont Bowl.

Newton don't want them problems! They should just stay in their lane. This thread is ridiculous.  

My general assessment is that the Timberwolves did what they were supposed to do, beat the team in front of them which was no doubt a lesser opponent.  
The Wolf defense picked up where they left off from 2 weeks ago.  Coming into last night's game, all I heard was about Sterlings RB Hill having over 2,300 total yards last year.  Well the defense held him to around 20 yards the entire game in my estimation.  The defense held the Sterling offense to if I recall correctly, 1 first down in the 1st half and maybe a total of 5 for the entire game.  10 points in 2 games given up since switching from the 4-3 to a 3-4 scheme and moving a few kids around.  No turnovers created by the defense last night but the defense came out of the game healthy going into next weeks match up.  
Now to the offense.  6 TD's were scored last night but one was a punt return and the other was a kickoff return.  So 28 points by the offense was a ok start and something to build on but could have been a lot more but I understand that there was no need to pile it on and show too much going into next weeks match up.  3 TD's were passing (43,5,10) and one running (24).  QB seemed to make some good decisions and good throws at times but every now and then it seemed predetermined and forced which luckily didn't result in a turnover.  He will be fine.  O-line didn't give up a sack that I can recall but it seems like something is lacking in the run game blocking.  They are using a RB by committee because to me it seems as though nobody has established themselves "as the man" in the backfield.  The potential is there though.  A few drops by the WR's but not many and luckily this wasn't a game where it could come back to haunt us.  No turnovers last night by the offense but there will be a few guys getting treatment this morning.
Like I said earlier, the Wolves, coaches and players, did what they were supposed to do last night, they got the first win in United football history.  It was also a good confidence booster for the team as a whole going into next weeks rivalry game.

Yes I felt the same way.

I'll admit I was skeptical about the Peevey hire. But, he's starting to grow on me. I still think he needs to upgrade some of his assistant coaches. 

Let's get back on topic.
I am personally very curious to see how United fares this year. New school, new team, new conference. The talent is there in spades; there are a lot of coaches out there who would love to have Ozen's speed and Central's physicality on one team. The question to me is whether the coaching and the experience is there.
I made it home for the Central and Ozen games against PN-G last year, and frankly, I was shocked. There might have been a dozen fans in the stands for Ozen. I know they never drew huge crowds, but I remember the Panthers putting more butts in seats than that. And compared to the Central I remember, the Jaguars I saw in 2017 looked outright deflated. I know this was all following a major hurricane, but Rita and Ike were both just as bad and I remember Central making the playoffs in both those seasons.
If there's one hope I have for United, it's that the Beaumont football programs I remember from seasons like 2009 make a comeback. (And that they find a way to upset North Shore.) Hopefully, this preview will give some insight into how things are shaping up.

Great post.

It is official, David Green, Jr. is the boys basketball coach and Tammy Walker-Brown is the girls basketball coach at United.

That wasn't quite what he said. He said the family wasn't willing to relocate. That makes more sense in my eyes if that was actually what was said. FSU went after the UM WRs coach but I think the wifey helped put the clamps down on that. So he's still in Coral Gables.
 

I would be very surprised if Boutte did not accept 

No coach was told they could not bring in coordinators and they couldn’t make the money work for one and another his family did not want to relocate to Beaumont. 

I might be the naive one in the room, but I am impressed with the hire of Arthur Louis as the new coach.  Remember folks, the new coach at United will be charged with much more than building a new football team....he will be in many ways responsible for building a new community  As impressive as the resumes of Todd Peterman, Lydell Wilson and Kirk Botkin might be in other respects, they do not have the experience that Coach Louis has in either of those regards.  And as folks from old school Ozen remember, he was kind of successful in that regard.
As many have noted since news of the merger came about, mending of the community will be necessary.  What better man to do that than a respected member of the community?  What better man to do that than a man who BISD fans had expressed hopes would fill a BISD head coaching job, whether Central, Ozen or West Brook, every time one of those positions came open?  You need someone within the community that can command the respect of all who come to it.  Folks, whether you care to admit it or not, Arthur Louis is that man.  No he may not have been the "splashworthy" candidate that some were hoping for.  But the building that will be required here will require more than just a splash.  In Arthur Louis, you have a man who is invested in the community, and having come from a school that looked to such candidates to lead them and have had success in doing so, there is something to be said for that.
I know that there is this undercurrent, that Coach Louis is merely a placeholder and that in a couple of years one of the current Ozen or Central coaches will resume the helm.  And that may very well be the case.  However, with the outside hires that so many coveted, do you think that the coaching situation would be any more settled?  Do folks really believe that folks like Peterman or Wilson, who have state championships on their resume and coaching stops (as well as AD stints) at much bigger school districts, would have actually put down permanent stakes at a smallish 6A school made up of a couple of schools who really have no major playoff success to speak of?  If you believe so, perhaps I am not the only naive person in the room.
But the folks at United are faced with the choice.  They can, as a community, rally around Coach Louis and work as hard as they can to help build the program that many of you think it can be OR you can spend your time lamenting about the "big fish" that got away.  As Alpha Wolf, who I know to be an avid fisherman, can tell you, that second choice never gets you that far.

Flannigan made a decision that he thought was right. The investigation will decide if that decision was just or not. SMH @ all the "know it" alls that know nothing of this situation but are trying to use it to take a shot at BISD. Especially those whose district doesn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw out of.

West Brook just needs to play their game and they will be fine. Westfield presents some challenges but the Bruins are bringing their own big stick to this fight. 

OMG! 69 points in a playoff game. That's crazy! But, a win is a win, and we'll take it. I never would have thought , at the beginning of the season, that we'd be sitting at 11-1, and moving on to the third round of the playoffs. Go Brook !

Its my understanding that they denied Elijah and upheld the older brother.

Let's go Bruins!!!!

Thanks. Lots of  views but no responses. I  know there are more than two Cowboy fans on here.  We will kill Pittsburgh.
