Fair ball all day long.

Nederland off to a hot start winning the drum line battle! 👀👀

After a few years into his tenure at Dayton very very seldom did Stewart get blown out ! Maybe a loss against LK Travis for the region final, pre-district he scheduled big schools like Fort Bend Elkins and Eisenhower and win most times. Several district and regional championships, State final appearance- records that any Dayton coaches since cant even begin to scratch. He used to hold defense coaching clinics where coaches all over the state would attend. He was and an outsider with no buddy or political ties to the local click his only goal was to Win!!!

This is the most entertaining thread of the week so far. 🍿

Players + Coaching + Competition level = Success Any 2 of the 3 can lead to a great year. Maybe not a state championship year, but good year. Just having 1 of the 3 isn't enough. It takes good players.. and it takes preparation/strategy. But that wouldn't be enough in a juggernaut district/region/classification. It happens every two years... Same relative coaching staff, a lot of the same players, but reclassification may turn zeros into heroes or vice versa. Just like I've seen good coaches have mediocre years because of lost talent or even graduation. Or injuries... And not that great of coaches can have pretty good years if they have a lot of talent or are in a weaker level of competition. It's crazy to think that there aren't a lot of variables. But I will never be convinced that all it takes is great coaching. MOST coaches are practicing stuff that is designed to be successful. And MOST coaches are taking stuff from coaches/teams that are successful.

Lmao @Dirty_but_Dazzling you straight up tried to lock this thread because people don’t agree with you… 😂😂

Congrats to the Rangers. The better team won. I can’t figure out what home field advantage is all about. Neither team won at home. Still an Astros fan. That will never change. Will pull for the Texas team to win it all. Best state in the country.

lol, you were hoping to do that, can't blame you. It would have been a mistake to count either team out, but even though I'm an Astros fan, the team with the best chance at winning the WS moved on. Astros have a rally killing dead spot in the lineup that needs to be fixed, the Rangers don't.

Who teaches the players how to block, how to defend the pass, what they are supposed to do in different situations, who inspires them? Oh , that’s right they’re born with that knowledge.

MVP!!! MVP!!! MVP!!! MVP!!! MVP!!! MVP!!!

Smells like 2011, lets get a different outcome this time, the Texas Rangers are headed back to the World Series!! #GoAndTakeIt   

Rangers were definitely the better team this series

What a terrible night. Stros lose and I lost $20 to my daughter on 49er/Viking game. She took the Vikings but I had to give her 7 points. Looks like that won't matter. Good luck Rangers in the World Series.

Maldy has not “done well” in a long time. That was malpractice on Dusty’s part

Ted Cruz is at the game again. Astros were doomed from the start.

That news is a week old.

It's certainly a mixture. Great players can only overcome so much poor coaching, but in the same breadth, great coaching can only elevate marginal players so far. The players are the most important part, because you'll never win without them, but the coaches will play an important role.

This, you have to have talent, its not strictly Xs and Os. I have seen coaches destroy talent by running the wrong system. IE had spread personnel but brought in the triple option because that's what he likes. A good coach looks at what he has, uses the best system to utilize that talent and then it comes down to how does he relate to them, how does he motivate them, how does he adjust when they study your film and take away what you want to do. A lot of the deeper rounds of playoffs comes down to who can adjust the best when your game plan gets thrown out the window.

here is two examples WOS PNG

Surprise no one else started a thread. Beaumont football at its lowest.

Playoffs are right around the corner! This is the last district games of the season (excluding tiebreakers) so let’s get those scores posted. Thanks to the few people that have shared scores this year and in the discussions. Would love to further things next year by even maybe getting with a couple of yall for some rankings.

No idea who that person is but I need to meet that guy, certified genius IMO. 😎

Maybe they knew something we didn't after 3 seasons with the broncos he is lacking in game leadership and live game management other than that I'm sure he's a nice guy. We don't need nice guys we need proven successful coaches. The superintendent and schoolboard are as much to blame they get plenty of highly qualified candidates and choose politics over winning ( who cares about the fans or players )

Same with me with the MHS/BH thread, I'm just waiting for a certain person to show up. 😈

Houston should have made a deal with them just to stay in Arlington for games 6 & 7.

If the rangers can get a couple arms for the bullpen there's a really good chance we run this series back next year. I'm hoping so. This was as exciting of a series as I can remember in my lifetime, and I felt that way BEFORE we put it away last night.

Flares burn the body temporarily. Powder ingested into the lungs will cause a life time of respiratory & lung disease. So, hopefully, no one is stupid enough to resort to any powder throwing. That's just common assault with a deadly weapon!!!🤣

"Can't win the Kentucky Derby with a mule." CT

All dat money for dat coach but no playoffs… -in my Bobby Boucher voice.

5 more outs.

My bad. Read it wrong. Bottom line: JT has the harder path

Will Shepard go 4a next realignment?

Willis. Lagway and company are legit.

Man I remember Willis playing PNG at the Butch in 2010… that school and area has grown so much over the years…

Still with 3 guaranteed outs

Still early 3-1

The Toilet Bowl.........

WB starting QB is out and they plan on playing a Freshman QB off of JV. So BU best chance at beating WB since its inception.

People seem to forget that the guy pitching for Arlington tonight got suspended for 10 games this season for being a cheater. Its easy to overlook things when it doesn't fit your narrative.

Because truly, it's a combination. I'll take a balance of both leaning a bit towards talented athletes.

as a kicker, I will say this... if you pass up the opportunity for your kicker to kick 30-40 PATs throughout the year, you better hope like heck you don't end up in a playoff game needing a 25-yd fg to win as time expires.

I am thinking PNG 35 or 42 Nederland 7 maybe 14

2017, it’s time to get over it! They’ve been to six straight ALCS’s since. I guess you are one of those that can’t move on. And it’s been proven the Astros weren’t the only ones!

Got the W!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. It really is a dumb idea.

A big problem with moving it is PNG Band gets the profits from visitor side concessions and pretty much the only time they actually make a substantial profit is when MCM is at home and possibly PA Memorial IF we play them preseason cause the Houston area schools MIGHT bring 300 fans COMBINED…..it’s SAD!

Where did I bash Langston as a person? I'm literally critiquing the job he has done as the Head Football coach at West Brook. On what planet is going 6-22 with two games left in your third year considered doing a good job? According to his job performance, he sucks! And, that WB team that went to state was underdogs in the regional finals, the state semifinals, and the state championship game, so thanks for proving my point about the lack of coaching at West Brook now!

That must not apply to soccer. Because the last few coaches there have all coached their players in club soccer at Dynamo and now Albion. Hmmmm???

If you’re really worried about the government, don’t take money from them you don’t deserve.

What you're going to start seeing more of is families moving their student-athlete kids out of BISD after their 8th grade year is over to avoid all that paperwork mess.
