2019 FOOTBALL TEAM PREVIEWS

SPLENDORA WILDCATS

2018 Record: 10-2 Overall, 5-0 District

District 11-4A-I Champion

 

2018 was a banner year for the Splendora Wildcats as they took home the district title for the first time since 2007.  Head Coach Marcus Schulz and the Wildcats don't expect to wait as long for the next district title as they return a veteran squad (8 starters return on each side of the ball) to push the Wildcats a little farther into the playoffs.

 

Head Coach: Marcus Schulz

Assistant Coaches:  Chip Keel (Co-Offensive Coordinator), Matt Riordan (Co-Offensive Coordinator), Jeff Cordell (Defensive Coordinator), Clay Mayo (Defensive Backs), Cody Inkster (Defensive Backs), Laurence Smith (Defensive Line), Chase Reneau (Defensive Line), J.T. Hatton (Wide Receivers), Jerremy Holliefield (Running Backs), Kody Weatherson (Running Backs), Randy Pope (Freshmen)

Offense:

Eight starters return to the Splendora spread offense in 2019.  Returning to trigger the Wildcat offense will be senior quarterback Cody Thorndyke (2nd team all-district).  Thorndyke will be throwing to a veteran squad as senior wide outs Tyler Gamble (11-4A-I Offensive MVP), Dylan Matthews, and Scott Norwood, as well as junior receivers Jagger Kennedy (1st team all-district) and Cole Goodrum, all return in 2019.  A veteran line also returns as senior Jaylen Smith and juniors Austin Elliot (2nd team all-district at fullback), Trenton Vest and Kevin Jernigan will lead the way up front.

Defense:

Eight starters also return to the Splendora defense in 2019.  Smith (1st team all-district) returns to his defensive tackle position to lead the Wildcat defensive line.  Senior outside linebacker Matthew Owen will be featured on a Splendora linebacker group which will also include sophomore Zane Obregon and junior Andrew Vasquez.  Goodrum (2nd team all-district) returns along with Mattews, Norwood, senior Matthew Owen and junior Andrew Hernandez.

Special Teams:

The place kicking and punting duties will be sorted out at summer practice.  Matthews (11-4A-I Co-Special Teams MVP) and Gamble will be the primary kick returners.

Thx, knew I'd seen that name before, maybe he's the main cog for Splendora success, Pirates were pretty good offensively if I remember correctly.

He was at Shepherd then was hired at Rusk, which he resigned about a month after being hired. He then joined the staff in Frankston and was promoted to HC in 2017 but left less than 2 weeks after the promotion.

Splendora the second time in our district is better then they were. There area is growing from what I hear and probably be back up in 5a. Im looking forward to playing them this year. We should have never lost last year to them.

I'd leave Frankston too to be honest lol. I hope Splendora is able to keep him on staff.

    • I think you’re missing my point- I also believe the prosecution is a mistake, but that’s not the point.    I’m confused that Conservative Christian Right-wing Republican straight white American male family first Trump voters are ignoring the fact that Trump did, in fact, do that awful thing…. But are instead focused on the fact that he’s being accused of covering it up.    There’s obviously no decency or morality in MAGA. But they still believe themselves to be exactly that… the side of decency and morality. It would be funny if the stakes weren’t so high. 
    • Naw people are mad the good ole boy system is getting broken. Didn’t think it would be this fast for the drama to be here. Honeymoon is over. 
    • Here’s the thing. I keep dropping facts on you, and you keep on knee-jerk saying “all lies!” I’ve asked you multiple times to point out whatever I’ve said that is factually wrong…but you can’t.  You might not like the facts, and they might make your eyes sweat a little… but it doesn’t change the fact that they are as true. Heck, deep down inside you might even know that Ol’ CB is right, but you believe Trump isn’t to blame. That, sir, does not turn the truth into a lie. What you should have said was is “that may be true, but I’m giving Trump a pass because…” Not “that’s a lie” when the numbers don’t lie.    But for you and everyone that  believes Trump was good for the economy, I’ll give another of my beloved and informative analogies that might help you finally understand.    A man handles his Family’s finances.  He makes a decision that life could be better, so he’s like “this is our year!” He stops all contributions to retirement accounts (cuts taxes) then proceeds to book a trip to Disney, buys nice things for the family and maxes out all possible lines of credit…. Now they’re facing bankruptcy.  The kids (y’all) are now arguing “things were so much better when  Dad (Trump, also your Daddy) was in charge! We had nice things!” The man set us on a course for ruin with deficit spending, then it accelerated with COVID, then he was such a pig that Biden got elected, and now we’re facing another “anybody but Trump” loss in the November, guaranteeing four more years of nonsense from which we’ll probably never recover. The debt is just insurmountable. We shouldn’t be surprised, either.  Trump has always been a “borrow as much as we can and pray (errrr, hope….not pray. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t do a lot of that) that it all works out” as evidenced by his businesses which have repeatedly bankrupted.
