This season, more so than any other that I can remember in my 15 or so years on SETXsports, we're having a major problem with multiple posters from multiple teams continually bashing, criticizing, and insulting various area coaches. Moderators have had to post the no coach-bashing rule in multiple threads that have gone off the rails due to complaints about coaching. There are ways to express yourself without violating this rule. If you can't find a way to do so, I'd suggest avoiding the topic completely. I don't care if WOS goes 2-8, if Vidor runs the ball up the middle 200 times in a row, or if Hull-Daisetta doesn't listen to the experts and mismanages the clock while calling the wrong plays. Anyone who violates this rule during the remainder of the season is receiving an immediate one-week ban. Violations are decided by moderator discretion. If you continue to violate the rule once you return you will be banned permanently. If you're about to make a post about coaching, but you're not sure if it's okay, don't make it. Save your opinion for facebook, or better yet, go to the game and scream it in the stands with the other coaching experts. It's important to remember that while our site encourages healthy discussion, we demand an atmosphere of respect towards our local players, coaches, and communities, no matter your opinion of their performance.. Please remember that this post is your free warning. Any questions about this rule, or about a post you'd like to make, may be sent to myself or other moderators in private message for clarification without repercussions. Below, for the fiftieth time, is the rule that so many of you continue to violate. Thank you, and happy posting. 18 ) The bashing of any particular coach, player, referee, etc will not be tolerated. This includes issues involving their personal lives, coaching/playing style or performance, past experiences, etc.

3A Franklin is 5-0 this season running the Slot T, won State Championship last year. 5A Liberty Hill Slot T is 4-1 this year with one lost by 7 points, an are averaging almost 50 points a game this year. Made it to State Championship last year an fell short.

Opportunity for some of yalls youngsters to make a name for themselves and give their coaches a headache about who should get more playing time once those who are injured returns. 🤷🏾‍♂️ It would be okay if they waited til next week to play well though 😁

regardless of what people may think KT was an absolute monster for us during the 97 & 98 WOS football seasons. He was the back up QB as well but Cornel used his heart & determination to be a hybrid at the Rover End in the 50 defense (which is basically a defensive back in a nickel package/defense). He was a unanimous AllState selection despite his stature. I remain quiet on alot that's spoken here because much of what some of you say isn't worth a wet roll of toilet paper. Lol But I will say this - my main gripe was "be careful what you ask for" when there became an outcry to run CT out of town. Now kids can't even line up properly, at times looking completely lost as if they aren't even coached up in practice. I'm baffled how all of a sudden the WOS defense cant tackle, defend the deep ball, or control the line of scrimmage on either side.

AP did it without their All-State senior running back too. And they are plagued by penalties each week. They were tri-district champs last year and now they have a legit QB who will be playing on Saturdays, and that analysis is based on him as a FRESHMEN. Before week 5 he had just under 1000 yards, 11 TDs 1 int. So my point is now they have an offense that can be carried by their star running back or now by their QB.

Toby has sent something like 30-40 kids to school on FULL RIDES. He is very involved with the track program which anybody will tell you, a good track team correlates to a good football team. He is well connected and respected by college coaches.

^^ THIS ^^

Looks like WOS should have hired this guy.

Coach Faircloth has lead SS to a 4-1 record beating Liberty-Eylau 24-6. Liberty-Eulau was ranked 15th in 4a d2. Coach Faircloth took over a SS team that was 0-10 last season. Before tonight's game SS was ranked #21 in 4a d1. His only loss this season coming at the hands of Hallsville a 5a d2 ranked #20 school. That loss was 34-21. SS hadn't won back to back games since 2018. I believe they had only won 4 games since 2018. This is a great example of the difference a great coach can make.

[Hidden Content] Coverage area teams in this week's rankings: 6A #1 North Shore #7 Atascocita 5A DI #4 PA Memorial 5A DII #3 FB Marshall 4A DI #7 Lumberton 4A DII #6 Silsbee #9 Hamshire-Fannett 3A DII #3 Newton 2A DI #1 Timpson #10 Centerville

Just looked at the highlights on Hudl. Once KP got their feet under them, they were just getting huge chunks of yardage. I noticed in the Lee Crosby freshman highlights, Crosby would just zero blitz on defense every play, and it worked at that level against Lee for sure, but I thought in my head that this is not really teaching them anything about a real game and real defensive principles. KP was just gashing them every time they did the same in those highlights. What else do they have to fall back on if that's the call 95% of the time as a freshman? Just because you have a big athletic QB that could QB sneak for ten yards each play doesn't mean you QB sneak 45 times in a row at the freshman level. That's not teaching anything that will be valuable later. Same goes for defense. Just because it works there in 9th grade. There is nothing to be gained from doing it.

If it's the 2 certain players on offense I'm thinking about that's not good at all. Already had a WR out right?

10-4, I watched your FBM game you guys have some giants on your team. - I've been on the board lately rattling some cages just for a little fun. Every other year Dayton would be an automatic win for our opponents. This year we have a decent team and actually fun to watch. PNG and Big Ned always a class act good luck going forward.

Picking Dayton for the win in this one but I think Dayton's defense may need to tighten up a little to make that happen.

Honestly I don’t know the answer to that question. Maybe BigEnos could answer that for you. I do know for a fact that they run a heck of a lot more plays in practice than they’ve shown in non district play. Maybe it’s a strategy on the coaches part. I guess we’ll see in a couple of weeks.

Some these Texas Coaches that run the spread offense have gotten their butts handed to them consistently by Slot T teams an probably whined to the UIL about it to change the rules. Lol I agree with you about being able cut block outside the tackles. Make a football move an get out of the way if you want to play. But these same pencil pushers don’t have a problem with a DB taking out the knee’s of a wide receiver instead of hitting him high.

The process is the problem. Where in the Constitution does it say that Congress can set limitations on constitutional authority of a president? Everybody in the fact check article, even the Democrats who claim the “process” said that ultimately it is the president’s call on what is classified. Their claim is that he has to come ask first even though they cannot intervene. It is like I explained on the Trump impeachment by the House. It was questioned by the Republicans if anything brought up rose to the level of a high crime or misdemeanor as “required” in the Constitution. In other words, if Trump did everything that was claimed, is it enough to constitutionally remove a president? The Chief Justice said that it doesn’t matter. The Constitution gives Congress the authority to determine what is a high crime or misdemeanor since it was not defined in the Constitution. No one else including the president or the Supreme Court, can change that. The Republicans asked Chief Justice Roberts to step in and end the trial in the Senate. His response was that he has no such constitutional authority. The Constitution clearly gives the House the authority to impeach and he cannot change that but he has to, by the Constitution, act as the presiding judge. As an example, if the Republicans take back the House in a few weeks, their first action in January can be to impeach Biden. If the Democrats argue, there is no good reason, the Chief Justice has spoken. He is the presiding judge in the Senate for removal and he said that he has no authority to step in on Congress’s constitutional authority. What might be comical if that happens, the Democrats who laughed at the Republicans for claiming that the House didn’t have the authority two years ago, would now claim the exact same thing that they previously hailed as the law. It is the same with presidential authority. You questioned Ihe “process”. Does Congress have the constitutional authority to tell the president what to do as the commander in chief? The Democrats claim is that yes because Obama said so. And no, I am not kidding. Does Obama have the authority to override the Constitution because that is the claim from the Democrats, Obama set out a process. As an example then, could Trump has cut an executive order that future presidents could not make treaties with other countries where the Constitution says ONLY the president can make treaties? Does the Constitution say, this is the law unless a president doesn’t like it for future presidents? As I said in my first comment, the Supreme Court has never issued a ruling on presidential authority or a congressional requirement on classified documents, much of which is likely constitutional and goes into the separation of powers. Whether Trump can verbalize it, put it in writing or merely take a briefcase home with him (his thoughts), can Congress or a former president ban him from doing so? So far there is no legal answer from the Supreme Court.

I'd imagine so but you'd also think a kid wouldn't make that move unless they believed they had a solid case for the UIL, I have seen it occur when they could prove they were closing on a house before the season started. To be fair I've seen that 3 times. All three situations were Rental -> purchase that started before season but for reasons took a long period to finalize. Not sure what this kids situation actually was but baselessly making claims of recruiting seems to be outside the interest of everyone involved. The only person that gets hurt by the UIL is the kid.

LCM Lumberton HH Livingston/Vidor

I can see it now, the Black Kayak sunk in a mud puddle from two poundings.

The past really doesn't matter in situations like this. We've got to be a lot better than we have been lately to win this game.

So you know who doesn't have anything in the pipeline eh? Hmmmm

Are you sure it’s not for Academic purposes? Lol

Those who played their senior year know homecoming is circled regardless of who you are playing. You want to win. These are the following things going in the Bears direction. 1. Bye week coming off a bad performance against a good team. Plenty of time to refocus and adjust attitudes. 2. New turf and biggest score board in SETX to be debuted. 3. Aforementioned homecoming 4. Stands will be packed with rabid fans 5. The weather will be the epitome of Friday Night Lights. If you can't get hyped and play lights out under those circumstances turn your jersey in. Peevey rights the ship and the Bears head off into district with a three score victory.

I hesitate to even comment on this but I want to say one thing coach cornel was a good coach and a good man. Hiawatha is a good man and has been a good coach. He will be a good head coach. Toby applied for the Silsbee job when Hiawatha did and though he had more experience he did not get the job because the administrators in Silsbee thought Coach Smith was the man for the job. I like Hiawatha but hope Coach Smith is here for a long time.

Yep. That 2007 season was very special for Lumberton. Finished 11-2 with their only losses coming from PN-G in district and Waller in the regionals. Defeated all mighty LaMarque in the playoffs that year. Lumberton gave up less than 14 points a game in that season.

You would be wrong in that regard. When Creaduer was head coach and Lumberton went on that 3 year run in the playoffs beating teams like LaMarque, those teams played great defense.

That's why I use the word "Outsiders " Because certain people with free speech Which I love& have no problem with wasn't at practice wasn't walking the halls ,wasn't riding the streets of WOS doesn't have a kid in the program Most likely have never had a conversation with Coach T but they know.. Lol @Mr. Buddy Garrity your a smart guy I want you to really think about and ask yourself why was this Tiger/Coach pulling double duties on a Cornell Thompson staff ,Hmmmmmm

I’ve got Silsbee for the remaining games of district play.

Outsider you're missing the point no one applied because the decision was already made. THE coaching world New this in advance.... The lovely community of Silsbee is very different from the wonderful community of WOS

They should be hydrating all week.

Anahuac QB will amaze you.

They should have done their homework on who to bring in to meet those Great Expectations. I was being satirical with my statement by the way.

Bingo! Hey @BMTSoulja1 when Toby got to Central didn't yall have a spark in numbers of players getting major offers? he's done the same at Shoemaker.

I would love for the Dogs to win this The 2 things that must improve this week for that to happen 1. The secondary play must improve 2. more than 1 receiver has to start catching the ball

You should do your research. The ethnicity of Barrett Station is changing. Most of those kids are playing soccer.

Yea I bet we won’t lose during the bye week lol make it 2 weeks of peace and quiet. Two wins in a row vs the church schools but coming soon we get LCM and L-Town. The frantic fans will be back with a vengeance, until then we celebrate.

Crosby just isn't as good this year and have moved up to a more difficult level. They don't never have had an advantage in coaching. They did it with much better athletes and need that advantage to win. They are not going to out coach teams.

How was your game today? Also, go check never made an excuse for this loss we got whooped. Funny how yall all seem so interested when Crosby loses.

Can't even beat anyone in Texas.

COMMUNITY INFLUENCE

1 - 3 just got there first win over st Louis catholic out of Lake Charles la

How's Vidor doing this season?

Hopefully Crosby bounces back. True heart is shown when you’re down, character and identity will shine through. Need to keep working hard and not finger point. Crosby will be in the mix at the end of district. PAM and KP still have tough games, district is wide open.

Faircloth at WOS would be unbelievable.

Bench press season is coming!

I'm not surprised at all.

Coach Hickman isn't being given a fair shake by most of you. WOS has a rich tradition and the community seems to be against this man after 5 games. WOS will get 2nd in district. You can't win em all folks. People show their true character when things are bad. Good luck the rest of the year.

Check the AG barn. Over there with the pigs and sheep.

Y’all all keep losing sight of the big picture. They FINALLY have a “person of color” for a head coach. The rest is irrelevant.
