    Uhh, if you're talking about the late 90s and the year 2000, you are mistaken. I personally participated in some beatdowns placed on those teams during that time frame.

    No it was after that around 2001-2004 or 05.  They had a couple of 8-2, 7-3 type seasons which is about the best there ever had in back to back seasons. Westfall didn't get there until 04 or 05.

    They were competitive during the Tyler Copeland years, but not sure they ever made any real noise. But relatively speaking, the Westfall years were definitely the best years that program has probably ever had. They also kicked behind in powerlifting back then. I believe they had multiple state champions.

    Nah. Their best years were right before Westfall when they were still 2A(now 3A). District champs(tied with East Chambers I think) one year, and runner up another. Loss in playoffs to state champ Garrison.

    They should have done more, much more when they dropped to 1A and Westfall was the coach.  Letsinger and Copeland are about as solid as you could find in 1A in this area at that time, and a first round exit is all they had to show for it.

    Tompkins had control the entire game. Even when they were down it felt like they were going to win. It was a great game to watch.

    Was hard to watch Allen win. Our EC alum Grant Long and Guyer were much better than Allen, but it’s hard to beat a good team 3 times. Allen figured out they had to play stall ball and it worked.

    It kills me to see Allen win in anything, but their coach does an excellent job with them. 

    Still think Guyer was probably the best team in Texas this year.

    End of day 1 morning session.

    Up next in afternoon session:

    3A state semifinal

    Grandview vs. Bowie     1:30pm

    Excited for this game. Rematch from a playoff warmup game a few weeks ago in which Bowie won by 15 or so. Should be a low scoring, fundamental affair. Bowie is coached by the elder Boxell, who won state a couple of times with Ponder. I think he wins it this year too.

    I’ll put it to you this Bennett wouldn’t still be here had it not been for Jones coming last year. I’ll leave it there.

    That's fine, but didn't Jones leave last year yet K'Ville still thought enough of Coach B to keep him around for this year? If they wanted to get rid of him last year after the season would seem like the time to do it.

    I don't have enough interest in Kirbyville to continue this conversation, just think it's pretty damn unprofessional the way it was handled.

    Good luck to all involved.

    How can either of you speak on how something could or should have been handled when you admittedly don't know the ins and outs of the situation. You can speak on a subject in which you don't have all the facts.

    You are right. We don't know all the details. And if something serious is going on behind the scenes that comes out then certainly it will be more understanding as to why he was reassigned. 

    But. Let me ask you this. If y'all had hired a new AD/HFC without experience in baseball, would Coach B still be coaching the baseball team this year? My guess is yes. And that's what makes this situation so unprofessional.

    Perception is everything, the optics on this deal are not very good. Y'all got the guy y'all wanted, that's fine. 

    A baseball coach who's had success (I know he hasn't won the titles elsewhere like Jones) was reassigned a few weeks into the season. That's pretty bush league. I don't know the ins and outs, I do know that I have never heard anything negative about Bennett. I can't say the same for Jones. 

    I hope that Bennett lands on his feet somewhere, I'm sure he'll do fine. I hope the citizens and tax payers of Kirbyville are happy with the way this was handled, and experience tons of success.

    I don't wish ill on anyone. In my opinion, this could've been handled more efficiently. 

    Well said.  The now former baseball coach has been successful there, and I believe he took Orangefiled to the state tournament a few years back. He's been working with the kids all year and probably looking forward to a very successful season as I think they Kirbyville is supposed to be pretty good this year. The damn season already started.  Yet in comes in a new AD and HFC, who happened to be his assistant last year, to relieve him of his duties. Pretty damn bush league. It makes the new AD look bad, and the town look bad from the outside.  This simply could have been handled in a more professional way, and it wasn't.  But it appears the people in K'Ville don't care. Sad.

    Right, because Shawn Robinson was the only thing that team had going for them. Nevermind the other 8 D1 players on the offense.

    Lol.  Desoto has D1 talent all over the field EVERY year. Since 2010 they have averaged about 7 D1 kids a year.

    They weren't going to win state that year without Robinson. You know that.

    Have any of you seen Argyle play I" have and their just like Levelland and just like last year had no ideal how they mad it to state tournament .! This game will end up pretty much like that game last year with Levelland. Same thing with Brazosport they will destroy Heritage. And this is my opinion.! #TigerNation :)

    Argyle is absolutely nothing like Levelland from last year. Levelland was 25-12 heading into the state tournament, and came from a much weaker region.  Argyle is 31-4 heading to the state tournament, and beat #15 Wilmer-Hutchins, #8 Carter, #6 Center and #14 Paris to get out of of their region.

    Silsbee should and probably will prevail, but it will not be a blowout like last years semifinal game.
