sorry on score.. Maxpreps has it 64-3.. Either way PA wins big.. Agreed Duncanville is on different level and beat SOC by 2 scores. SOC also lost that year to Lancaster (5A-1) by 2 scores who lost in 2nd round. I know these games are early, but its also early for the teams that won those games. What else can you use as comparison when asking my question? I think my question is interesting but very few want to address it I guess

Yall are proving my point.... What was that score of the 22-23 PNG (5A-DII) vs PAM (5A-DI)?? PNG lost 64-3!!!.. but goes on to the 5A-DII state championship while PA Memorial out 3rd round. What was that 23-24 PNG vs PAM? 24-7 and PAM did lose to Forney that did well in playoffs BUT played Forney 1st round because they finished 3rd in a weak district that only one team made it out of the first round... BH lost in 2nd.. And PNG WINS STATE!!!... I take nothing away from PNG. You play who you play and they did well.. but to me if you use logic based on comparison of strength of schedule... PNG would have been out of playoffs 1-2 round had they not changed redistricting to separate D1 and D2.. They usually were 2-3 rounds before the change... so back to my question... is it the "Elite coach" that makes the difference or redistricting??

First reread my post.. never said FBM was weak.. Said they lost to a very weak CROSBY team. You are proving my point.... 22-23 FBM made it to 4th round in 5A D-II.. 22-23 FBM lost to Crosby (a 5A D-I team that finished 4th in their district with a 6-5 record and out first round).. so Yea I would say FBM was a very Strong 5A D-II team.. average to WEAK had they been in 5A D-1.. Redistricting to separate 5A DI and DII divisions was huge difference.

I have a question... I keep seeing the word "elite coach" and it looks like certain teams have it figured out. Is it really the coach that made the difference or the change by UIL districting with the change from separation from 5A-DI and DII?? Looking at PNG's losses the last two years... besides Oak Cliff.. the teams they lost to were beat by WEAK 5-D1 teams and out the first round.. (22-23 Marshall beat by a very weak Crosby team that finished 4th and out first round) (23-24 PA Memorial finished 3rd and out first round).

Crosby is adding 20 min each day, starting a week early (7th), taking away small breaks(except labor day, MLK, and good friday), still getting basic week breaks(Thanksgiving, 2 weeks Christmas, Spring Break), going to 5 day weeks during month of April, and ending on May 30.

I know exactly what you are saying. I probably know the reason why your AD did not like that idea.. .Some AD's only have their sport agenda to focus on and not the individual sport's best interest. common opponents in district is hard to pass. There are more lower teams that want a chance to compete with their one dude. Then they get their a$$ whipped in the playoffs in a 3 game series.. The things I'm proposing is take that power away from District committees. UIL Should mandate common opponents in district.. like they just did with mandating 3 game series in postseason. Things will never change until enough voiced opinions are heard in UIL. That is what just happened with this mandatory 3 game series. Enough voices were finally heard. Now let's keep pushing to make it better.

Districts committee determine whether you play a alternating schedule or common opponents. I struggle with the concept that most districts alternate opponents. It allows for strength of district SCHEDULE to play a factor. Teams can rotate a #1 pitcher to play the most competitive teams twice. The better TEAM will be determined if they did common opponents. In playoffs you can have a 3 game with common opponents. I would hope that districts would understand this, go to a 3 game series with common opponents. Now to do this UIL has to allow more games. But to say that teams cant perform in a 3 game a week, when they do that during tournament play (4-6 games a week) blows my mind.

that is exactly what I stated. that is not a rule with post season UIL rules. Post season reverts back to tournament rules. You can play playoff games on Tuesday/ Thursday.. Now to go to 3 game series in district is OK right now.. Just hast to be game 1 (Mon-Thursday) Game 2 & 3 played on Friday or Sat.. Some districts are already doing this.

To make this mandatory UIL will have to increase the amount of games allowed or only allow 1-2 tournaments a season.

True:. But think of this… they play in tournaments at the start of the season that have 4-5 games in just the tournament.. and most usually play a game on that Tuesday of the same week… that is 5-6 games a week.. why can they do that at beginning of year and not playoffs? I also think all districts should do common opponent per week and play a 3 game series.. prevents teams from rotating a #1 to strength of schedule.

This is really not a issue in 5A/6A. Most of these bigger schools already play a series in playoffs. Its the 4A's and lower that will flip for a 1 gamer and ride 1 stud pitcher in playoffs. Personally, I would love to see a tournament style playoff system like college. This would cut the amount of postseason weeks down and let the better team advance in all levels. Now 1A/2A may have a problem due to size of school and players coming out but the rest should be fine. Yes that could make a team play 5 games but that will show the best TEAM! EX. Week 1 - Bi-district - 3 game series Week 2 - Area/regional Q-final - double elimination tournament Week 3 - Reg simi/ Reg Final - Double elimination tournament Week 4 - State simi/Final - Double elimination tournament

So happy for Wiggins. He will do great things there. The Head Baseball Coach for Crosby has been hired for a couple of weeks.

Coach Carter going for win 600 tonight

I don't see this job posted on THSCA or HJ ISD site. How are they interviewing already?

Did Dr. Keith retire?

in Jr. High in Lumberton back in 87 we had a coach suit out and play against us in practice. He was 6'4'' and built. One kid on the A team lit a B team kid up on kick off... the coach ran across the field at full speed.. just when the kid turned around he lit him up.. both feet off the ground and slammed him on the ground and started barking at him about taking cheap shots... could you imagine the law suites today and media exposure??

If someone wants to spread false information then whatever... it happens everyday.. but if illegal private information is spread by administration then that is a big problem and should be handled accordingly. Just the way I feel... People who hold these positions should be held accountable just like everyone else. This has really nothing to do with BF.. this is about right and wrong

Wrong sir.. I am not making assumptions.... YOU SAID "Did you know BF was put on a growth plan due to his consistent bypassing of admin and doing things how he wanted and not how it was supposed to be done?".... Either your: Telling Private information that only Admin/board and BF would know.. leaking private information cause your Admin/board... or spreading false information... PERIOD!! .. if this is true then there is MAJOR FAULTS HERE!! You have started a fire here.. that could lead to a district law suits and people losing their jobs!!

don't crawfish.. you stated he was on a growth plan.. that is PRIVATE information and not public info IF IT IS TRUE! The only ones that would know that information is Administration/board.. the only way, if true, that you would know that info is if YOU are the source... which is against TEA guidelines to spread private info.. or someone is Administration/board told someone... which is against TEA guidelines to spread private info... or you just made this up.. there are grievances for a reason!! Do you not see the big problem here?? You just brought up a whole new element, Superintendent should lose his job... IF TRUE!

WOW!! if what you are saying IS TRUE then 2 things: by putting PRIVATE INFORAMTION on a public site PROVES your either a UNETHICAL administrator/board member THAT DOES NOT NEED TO BE PUTTING INFORAMTION ON A PUBLIC SITE or was told by a UNETHICAL administrator/board member.. Either way you have now given BF grounds to sue for GRIEVABLE ISSUES UNDER ASSOCIATION OF TEXAS PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS.. THIS PROVES THE PROBLEM WITH PNG!! As for one of the "favorites"... he was in the top 2 so he was considered.

I will say this about Crosby.. It had its problems with overspending with a Superintendent that had repercussions but now is back STRONG.. Some of the best Athletic facilities in the state, New School and pays very well... Almost 20%/10K MORE a year in teaching salaries than PNG.. PNG is falling behind in these areas..

I think the glass half empty has a lot to do with this statement. The way this whole thing went down is just bad.. Its going to take a while for the community to get the taste out of their mouths.. Also the way the panel was set up does not inspire faith as well.. This was a superintendent/board move no doubt. It was well known when he hired TD that someone he know was going to get the job... the panel "narrowed it down to 2" then he got to decide who he wanted to present... I have a hard time believing someone that is a younger coach with no AD/HC experience interviewed better than some of the other applicants.. A HARD TIME... It will be VERY interesting to see the applicants list when released... I still believe he will do well.. he has no choice.. ITS PNG!!

I was thinking the same. If these were the two finalist.. I would have a hard time picking a person with no AD/HC experience/who got out of coaching/was a DC for a short time/and a position coach currently over the long list of Flanagan's accomplishments.... WOW.... But it is what it is.... again its all about who you know... Congratulations Coach Joseph and good luck to the Indians!!

could be.. down to 2
