Good experience!! 
 
always easier to coach after a close win then a loss 

They actually had to dig out of a hole.  Beginning of the third, Marian opened up like an 11 point lead.  We had to claw our way back…

Yes Ozen won 1 but went 3 straight years.. then went back couple more years with Kris Richards group.. Decarlos Frank Freshman year

One of these seasons LaGrange is going to rise up. Not this season though.

I'm a Silsbee Alumni and Silsbee has had some great teams. Beaumont United over the last 4 Years have been so dominant, Silsbee can't make that claim. Silsbee has had teams that have run thru all of Beaumont. There were years Silsbee beat down Central, Westbrook, and Ozen. There have been years Beaumont beat Silsbee by 30 and 40pts. United has 2 Rings and Silsbee has 2. United is #1 in Class 6A. Today,  Beaumont is the best in the state hands down. 

We don't agree on much but you're spot on with this. 

Nah they’re not sitting anyone…Desoto is missing it’s best player BTW!
Diff in this game is Desoto finally has kids in the trenches who can match DV upfront & when DV can’t out athlete you they in trouble. Cause they don’t do anything special from a schematics standpoint 

I honestly feel bad for the kids. 
The adults aren’t giving them a chance man

Bro no team he lost to when he was at WB he had more talent than the opposing team (maybe a couple games where the talent was equal but that’s apart of coaching) I’ll just go back to when he took over:
2005: 8-2 only losses were to Westfield & Katy who both are far more superior in every aspect of football. (Keep in mind he took over a team that went 2-8 the prior season)
 
2006: 9-4 losses to Westfield, Humble, Channelview & loss in the 3rd round to Cy Falls. Cy Falls played for a state title that year FYI.
2007: 10-2 only losses Westfield 33-24 & Fort Bend Clements 36-33 mind Clements had a Pro in Derek Carr playing QB
2008: 8-2 only losses NS & Dickinson
2009: 9-4 only losses to Westfield, IKE, Katy & Cinco Ranch 
2010: 8-4 only losses to Katy, NS, La Porte & Pearland 
2011: 6-5 only losses to Katy, NS, PA La Porte & Deer Park 
Stump went 58-23 during his 7 year tenure at WB thats winning over 72% of his games coaching in a school district that lacked (and still does) the infrastructure to have a successful football program. 
 
Now he’s at Atascocita & has turned them into a juggernaut & he’s probably going to be a HOF before it’s all said & done. Again idk where the narrative on here come from that Stump is just an “ok” coach but his resume says otherwise. He’s literally done everything as a head coach except win a state title.
I may not be old enough to make this next statement but stump is probably the best football coach to come through Beaumont in my lifetime.

I always thought Craig Stump was and is an excellent coach.
Won't get any argument from me on this issue.
Cita will give North Shore all they can handle.

Statements like this lets me know guys like you don’t know nothing about football. Stump is an elite coach especially on the offensive side! Coached against him many times, offensive scheme is one of the best in the state. Has he won a state title? No, but the comments I see you guys make about him on here is laughable honestly. The guy has won at a high level consistently everywhere he’s been. Keep in mind he beat NS in 16 & 17, just beat Katy a few weeks ago & has been to a state semifinals. Also Last 3 or 4 years he’s made it to the regional finals, not sure how a guy with the resume of stump’s is classified as someone who can’t coach smh

Better than the regime that’s currently there… 

Yeah you probably right, but WB would still have some W’s and be remotely competitive…

Man if only WB could have a great coach like the one at Atascocita… 

Private schools can be tricky to pick. 
 
You think you’re getting the St.Pius power house from a few years ago, whole time they couldn’t get any recruits. 
 
congrats to Kelly

Don’t post much on the board anymore but I still come in from time to time. I moved (work related) but I always supported BISD sports and still do! Not going to lie I don’t remember Beaumont being this bad (Football wise) ever I don’t think. It was always at least one good team in the city. Now the season is still early and things could change but even last season it was something different. 
 
When Stowers left Central after going 4 rounds in 2009 I knew something was wrong. Central was going to be loaded with talent by a JV and Freshman team plus the ones already on varsity. When I talked to him he didn’t go into detail but mentioned how he had seen the writing on the wall from the admin of BISD, and I think the same could have been said for Stump when he left after being very successful at Westbrook. BISD was not willing to invest into the athletics like other school districts and when it came to Coaching hires, they always did the back door hiring the “friends” instead of the best candidates.  Lord knows I loved Coach Andrew Washington but I think we all knew that was a comfort hire.  Central won those games off talent, and when they played a better coached team it was never close. Westbrook with the talent they had starting in 2007 should have always been a powerhouse specially in this area
 
Talent will never be an issue in Beaumont, don’t believe look at how many players are in the NFL just based on the last 10 years from Beaumont. It’s now on the Admin, Coaches and Parents. We need to invest in these kids.  BISD Admin is more worried about doing things the cost efficient way, hiring coaches and building facilities, while letting great coaches leave. There is no way WB off a state championship game appearance should lose their HC to LCM (No offense). Parents are also imo a Huge factor in all this, (another story for another day). 
 
so in all it doesn’t matter if BISD had 1 HS or 5 if things don’t start getting better at the top and working it’s way down you will never see the success. There could be Beaumont HS and still be mediocre because we have an incompetent coach, sub par facilities, plus everything else that makes a successful program.  That Athletic period must have changed within the last few years, in 2011 when my nephew was there he always talked about the athletic period. Smh Just hope a few kids get seen and get out individually. Sad to say 

I've always said that wb and bu should be 5a. If both schools were we'd be in the playoffs every year. One or the other. Brook has some talented kids still there. Coaching has to get better. The kids have to get better. The community has to get better. whether they have one school or three schools, the kids and parents have to step up and do better. Kids getting kicked off teams, smoking weed and vaping, parents knowing about it and cant control them. It's alot that makes a successful program and its not just at the 50 yard line. 

Think they have a great shot at a 6A ring!! I know they're a local powerhouse but we need to realize BU basketball is a powerhouse in Texas and a top team in the country!! Not to many teams they gone run into that's better. Maybe bigger but probably 1  team off the top of my head that's better (Duncanville) that's it. they have just as good of a chance then any team this season imo!! 
With all that said you can definitely have one of those Booker T Washington nights so, anything is possible 

BISD loses 111-7 last night.
IMO, no fan of either team should be barking.

Its fairly simple "Coaching"
These District has no program builders!! and the ones they have don't stay long. Its never been talent. If you think schools like Westlake, Liberty Hill, Midland Lee, Katy etc have more talent your crazy, but what they do have that makes them look better is dedication and buy in, and honestly I can't even be mad at the kids for not having that here, when the coaching is a revolving door in BISD???? Then not only does BISD want to hire their homeboys when its way better qualified candidates who know how to build up programs, to the point coaches don't even want to apply in the city anymore but they lowball coaches with sub-par salaries so who would want to come here???
 
Im just tell this story and let y'all figure it out.
In 2008-2011 my nephew attended Central when coach Stowers was the coach. His parents was taking him and his siblings for summer vacation but instead of going he wanted to stay with me to attend summer workouts mind you he was a sophomore, not even on varsity. When I would go drop him off most of the team was at workouts or on the field, so much so they had to divide the kids into different workout groups which the older kids said hadn't been done since they arrived. Then 7on7 was mandatory so when they went 4 rounds in 09 I wasn't really surprised. those kids were brought in and believed in Stowers. Im not sure the kids are there right now thus the results we've seen this this past years. 
 
This is also how schools like Katy work. My nephew ended up getting a scholarship, so during the summer he would come live with me in Houston to train with Kerry Bennett (Orange Tx native) at a gym he had in Katy. He would tell me after him and  other college players from various schools would finish their workout sessions the whole varsity Katy football team would meet up there at 5 for workouts every other day during the summer on top of the team workouts they had already did earlier that morning. for their 2nd workout of the day before 7 on 7 practice. All Player Led!!! The coaches had nothing to do with it, and when a player didn't show up his teammates would deal with him...
Thats It that's the difference. When players are brought in, the parents are Brought in and it can change everything and that starts from the top Coaching!!

Lets not act like WB just didn't go to State a 3-4 years ago beating the likes of Austin Westlake & Katy Tompkins along the way...I think we sometimes take for granted the amount of talent in this area, because its local. I always think of those Craig Stump Brook teams and how much talent they had. I think you had 3 or 4 players play on Sundays off of one team. Most cities cant even say that in their whole existence  . . Not to mention a big advantage Brook always has is going Small 6A, now I'm not saying they would Beat the likes of Atascocita or NS or make it to a state championship but to dismiss that because they're "Westbrook" is crazy to me

Dolceni better have her A game, OU will be a tough but if anybody has confidence to beat them its the team that's already done it
