I thought Kountze made the playoffs with Tracy Franklin both years.  Am I wrong? I would consider that success. However, I do think Duane is a great coach. By the way, those are the only playoff appearances since the 70's.

There is actually a "curfew" for all school sponsored activities the day PRIOR to State Assessment days.

I was trying to find this rule.  Can you let me know where it talks about the curfew?  I checked UIL and TEA and only found restrictions for post season play.

it is just suggested, not required.  We played on Monday.

Just a heads up. If you played a game earlier in the week, rescheduling before a rainout is illegal.  

Mark is falling down on the job!

Does the winner of the fat man relay still get a bucket of chicken?

Just one part of his resume over last 9 years that I find highly questionable.  See Examiner.

Look at HJ for your research.

it is what it is. If it is a foul on the opening tip, it is a foul with .1 second to go.  I have had calls go for me and against me in 26 years of coaching. I do agree that it, in my mind, was not a shooting foul. However, by todays standards it was most definitely a shooting foul.

I will try to find the video that shows the angle from behind the in bounder.  the way basketball is called today, it was definitely a shooting foul. He pushes the ball up in the direction of the basket.

Don't get your feelings hurt. I was just pointing out that you try to disparage a team that has owned the head to head competition. 

And what is head to head record for Newton and Bridge city? Dont believe BC is within 100 points on score totals!

Newton doesn't play against anybody in any sports regular season they think they might lose to. Just getting a taste of their own medicine if they can fill the schedule. 

Asinine! Go back and look. They have not played one team smaller than them in non district since at least 2002. some of the teams that they have played: Tatum, Henderson, WOS, Silsbee, Jasper, Corrigan, CARTHAGE. They usually play on of the toughest schedules around.

Check out Anthony to Crane: 311 miles through the mountains.

Long Tuesday nights!

Anyone want to guess which coach made the state tournament on this list the most times? Hint: He did it with two schools for their only trips on the list!

This will never be the answer. Teaching like coaching should be performance based but teacher unions dictate their wages and benefits. Head football coaches are usually the ADs and considered administration. Assistant coaches (who also teach) wages are more in line with teacher pay. So, teachers can make more money if they do more than teach; i.e. coach, teach music, tutor, drive buses, etc., etc. It's just like any other JOB in the USA. My daughter has raised her salary by doing these things, continuing her education and moving up in the food chain. That's how it works.

Teacher's UNIONS.  No such thing in Texas. The state sets the teacher pay and then each school district can supplement if they chose

My prediction for HD: HD, DEWEYVILLE, WEST SABINE,SAN AUGUSTINE, SHELBYVILLE

They could go other direction to Normangee, but that looks even further.

Will there be a place on the sight to post them?  What are your opinions on the all-district teams? How many should be 1st team?, 2nd? etc.?

I know a 6a district with seven teams (ours), where offense has 25 1st teamers and 21 2nd teamers, while defense has 26 1st teamers and 18 2nd teamers!

Seems watered down to me.  I would like to see it go back to 11 and 11.

Read the whole post.  I said the play was wrong and uncalled for.  Just point out why the ref probably didn't throw the flag...

I have not read all pages so this may have already come up.  They have a new rule, which I hate, that protects a defenseless player.  We had it called last year because we blocked the safety on a kickoff.  He was just jogging and not paying attention. Definitely should have been flagged. Now if he had been carrying out a fake, that would be a different story.

they still have not confirmed suicide. Still waiting on gsr results. Since super arrived: ad left, asst. principal, and jr high principal. Shredding truck shows up day after order not to destroy. Video surveillance broken. 4 days to give a statement to police. If you read the asst pricipals resignation, he makes several points that I think could  definitely win a civil suit if it was sought.

either 3 or 4 of the members are up for re-election THIS year.

it may not be 40,000 pay cut, but I would bet it is at least 20,000.  But if money mattered to teachers and coaches, they probably would not be teachers and coaches.

They must have a tremendous athletic budget!

This is not even a law!!!!!!! The senate passed it to the House, but the House rejected it.  2 new "Tebow" bills have been introduced this year, but the HS parents are fighting it due to the standardized test requirement and having to file a report each 6 weeks saying that they are passing.

The senate passed it, but the home-school parents are fighting it.  They added to the original plan that the home-school student had to pass a standardized test to prove their grade level.
