Like I stated a few days ago, this is United's highway. All others stay in their lane.

With Crosby and Barbers Hill moving up next year per the UIL cutoff numbers released earlier today, I feel it necessary to reemphasize how important it is that we keep Coach Faircloth, especially given the amount of talent we have returning next year. We have a rare opportunity and a narrow window to be a state power, and I would not let it go to waste in this modern, suburban-centric climate.

I beat there some happy png and nederland fans today lol

L. 73. K. 69. Final A kid from Lumberton dislocated his shoulder. Prayers up for him. all the missed shots in 2Q killed Kountze. Lumberton is very fundamental and physical . Great game

Hearing that PNG and Nederland ISD are preparing to combine to form one school district. Admin building will remain in Port Neches and District name will stay PNG ISD. The school board will be expanded to 9 members with 5 dedicated to Port Neches & Groves residents and 4 dedicated to Nederland residents. The only allowed in-district transfers will be for athletes transferring from Nederland HS to PNG HS. All “star” athletes will be required to play for PNG. The new school district will split Nederland tax revenue among the whole district equally, but Port Neches and Groves tax revenue will remain with schools in the cities of PN and Groves. PN will be using the new tax revenue to build a massive Performing Arts center and new domed football stadium and practice facility. Hearing that Nederland will receive incentives from PNG board members to make all this happen including a restaurant, reduced rate rental equipment, advertising services, dental care, vip healthcare service, free bedtime stories, and a custom golf cart. Also, all midcounty madness games will be held at PNG. Sources say this is a done deal. Really solid sources. They heard it from the pool man of the dog groomer for the cousin of the workout partner of the college roommate of the ex-boyfriend of the daughter of the waiter at the favorite restaurant of the sister-in-law of the science teacher at the middle school of one of the board members best friend’s former co-workers brother’s daughter’s ex-bestfriend’s 3rd cousin’s pool man!

He’s applied for other jobs in the past, which is pretty common. The last one being Lucas Lovejoy. That process was very public. He’s from Brownwood so moving to North Texas would’ve made sense. My only issue is we’re going on two weeks of people saying they have sources and know he is out. I’ve received messages saying he’s been forced out, been fired and been reassigned. I’ve even been told he notified the team. Yet he’s still there. Players haven’t been notified. Coaches haven’t been notified. People in the “know” have said it’s one guy. Then it became two. And I’ve been told around seven guys now. The story keeps changing. The superintendent says there are a bunch of bad rumors. Most coaches take time to consider their next step after the season. Just let it play out. Rumors aren’t helping anyone.

Good Luck to you guys! Hope it’s as good as last year’s game!

Lots of truth spoke here, coaching is like any other profession. 14 is correct in that 2 of the 3 good hires in Crosby were coordinators that came in with a new superintendent. New sup will VERY often hire someone new just for allegiance. This is no different in any profession. Years ago when GCM was getting ready to open, GCCISD athletic director went to Garland ISD to interview how they hired for a new football coach at a new school. Homer Jones, maybe Johnson was the most experienced AD, or one of the most experienced, in the state. He told Tom Ed that a new school needs to hire a successful, responsible, excitable coordinator. Many times superintendents will hire someone they know from their old district for loyalty and they are knowledgeable of their character. Sometimes there will be a true investigation with TRUE interviews, but rarely. VERY OFTEN THE SUP KNOWS THE HIRE BEFORE INTERVIEWS, or it could be someone an influential board member knows. The most important person in any football organization is the HEAD COACH, the second is the QUARTERBACK. Isn't high school playoff time great, not only football, but all sports. As far as head coaches, i BELIEVE the best head coaches have a background as a defensive coordinator (Saban and Bellicheck) becomes often offensive coordinators are PRETTY BOYS and have to run all their plays. Defensive coaches worry more about scoreboard. I have known some quality head coaches who have a background with offensive line, hogs are different beasts altogether. t

What happens when you let a team slow you down and control the tempo

On to the La Grange Tourney. Yates and Arceneaux is the best SETX duo since Perkins/KT and PA's Jackson and Harris.

Tigers playing without a starter tonight that’s at least a 10-15 point difference….

I’ll call the dogs off………. I won’t post again. Remember my thread in a few months. Make sure you get out and vote for school board elections when they come up. To all who have hit me up, thanks for the info. To all that think I’m full of poop, thank you!! I guess in the big scheme of things, once it shakes out, that’s when citizens can speak their true voice. My posts are to inform you as well as entertain you. But it’s also a valiant attempt to keep BF around for another year. In conclusion, I’m not a fan of BF, but I think the dude should get a fair shake until his kid is graduated. But in todays world, things are different. The cheerleading squad has almost as many members as the football team, and the co heads are equal to an entire offense. Maybe I need to jump on board with this new mentality, or stick to playing Tecmo Bowl… I just hope my season tickets are not revoked due to my banter…. If so, I will need to rely on you fellow Internet warriors to sneak me into a mid County madness game if possible…

How about IQ tests? That would weed out about half of them, including the P, VP, Pelosi, Schumer, and AOC. Thanks to baby boomers, we live in the greatest country in the world. Let the dims have their way, look at a day in the life of Russians, Chinese, or Venezuelans.

East Texas is hard to compete with. If they change it over we will all be playing in the 2nd round.

That's no problem. Again, I'm a map reader unlike the Stevie Wonders and the Ray Charles that they have now

My two cents, I think you guys should lay off the speculation and rumors until something is officially confirmed, one way or the other.

Exactly - we're better with a tougher district.

If this is Dist 10 in real life, I don't care where PAM finishes, it will be a clean sweep by Dist 9

If your coach is leaving you should be looking around 7327 State Hwy 87, Orange, Texas

Marshall should want that district so they can have some games that are actually difficult each year.

Hopefully the new 5A D1 district gets us ready for the playoffs, we've played in a very bad district ever since 2018 and been bounced 1st round of the playoffs.

I understand no doubt, I just think what he’s done at Lumberton is pretty impressive, I like seeing coaches build a program or make progress in a program. English been doing it for over 20 plus years he’a special.

they actually put highland park in 6a...

Crosby to D1 by 2 students.

With Rio we know he's a very good coach but he also left Crosby for a school that everyone knew had a lot of talent. His coaching has always enhanced that talent his staff has also traditionally done a good job at getting kids recruited. With Flannigan I honestly think he's developed as a coach a lot. I think when he left Crosby he was a good coach but over that last decade he has clearly learned some lessons and become a great coach. He had some trying times after leaving Crosby (the locker room camera thing.) and I think it has made him a better leader and coach. When thrown into the fire you either melt or it burns away the excess and leave the core a really good man.

GOOD LUCK COUGARS!!!!!

Silsbee and United aren't the same. United is sitting on generational talent the same way Silsbee did 4 years ago. This kind of talent rarely comes together in school at the same time. Silsbee has great talent and I expect those Tigers to be in state this year but United is a top 15 team Nationally. Their team isn't much smaller than U of H.

….. and the 50 year old CEO of the company who put out the first vaccine asks the federal government to seal the documentation for 55 years.

I said on the previous thread that we’d win by more than 20…. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I bet this was an interesting game. Probably was a chess match between English and Boutte…

Man talk about battle tested I’m glad Silsbee has stepped up to really play with the bigger ranked teams I hope this is the norm for tiger basketball going around the state trying to knock off the (Big Boys) is pretty fun.

Nothing says "trust the science" like "we can't tell you what's in it and you can't sue us if something goes wrong."

Remember, we pulled our starters at the exact same time. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Yes or 20. United bench went on a 10-1 run i think.

So what was it like 22 pt lead when we pulled all the starters off the floor.

Only thing I don’t understand is why would silsbee full court man press against this team… but Harris and Miller gonna be a problem in 4A

The Tigers start 4 sophomores and normally 1senior tonight was a junior. Only one other senior on the team who sees limited action.

FINAL HJ 101 LIBERTY 18

This situation reminds me a little of that Navasota thing. Maybe we’ll find out in February. [Hidden Content]

The ones that know don't talk and the ones that talk don't know! The reason this isn't on FB is because people would have to do it with their own name behind whatever they're saying! Don't have an opinion one way or the other just don't believe this discussion on here does anyone involved any good, including Coach

Bad idea, if you're going to the trouble to amend the Constitution, put in term limits. Accumulation of power, not age, is the problem. Look at AOC, she's young, you want more of those?

Since we are going to age discriminate.....why not color of skin?

I think so far in federal court Brandon has lost the OSHA mandate, the contract workers mandate and the healthcare workers mandate.

You wouldn’t say that if you were a betting man. 🤷🏾‍♂️

That would be really good news, Vidor should be able to finally have some success in the 4a playoffs if that happens. The last two years the path to the state semis began with knocking the Pirates out in the first round. Needless to say, I’ve seen about enough of those Eastex teams…

They already have who they want on stand-by. It doesn’t matter who applies. And if you’re in the know, you know who it is.

I did

So interesting bit to consider. Flannigan proved the talent existed and that Crosby could be a winner. He was a disciplinarian when at Crosby and those guys tend to have a timer running until they upset someone enough to lose their jobs. Rio was brought in by a super who had ties to Sulphur Springs. Prieto was brought in by a super who had ties to Corpus Christi. So I guess the real trick is hirer a new super from an underutilized coaching area and let them bring their contacts to a Houston area talent pool. Also, to be clear Preito and Rio were coordinators when we hired them. We didn't try and go get Allens HC.

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

Congrats to Diboll on a great season!
