    Not a fan of Turner myself.   Fans are too far away from the action.   Sheldon ISD Stadium is awesome.  Would have been a good option

    Don’t think that scrimmage got very far.   Fight broke out and was called off.  Longview ran gassers in front of the scrimmage crowd.

    Why would you schedule Sabine Pass when your district includes United, Crosby , PAM and Nederland.  How will this game get you ready for district??

    That district is abysmal.....  Marshall is good no doubt. But there is a reason they only gave up 20 points all year long.
    Sterling will be beat by Monday.   Ready for Basketball

    I hear a lot of talk about a coach who can "change" the culture and pin their hopes on that.
    As a graduate of a school that has that culture, I can tell you that it not the way it works, ladies and gentlemen. 
    Yes, culture requires the commitment of the players and the coach.....it also requires the commitment of the community.  Yes, it requires discipline in the program coming down from the coach and learned by the player....it also requires that the individual parent refrain from going to school officials when their particular son is subjected to that discipline.  Yes, it takes a strong defense, but it also takes a parent who doesn't question why his or her son is at safety or linebacker instead of quarterback or running back.
    The point is a big part of culture is getting off of the coaches back and letting him do his job. 
    A history lesson.  Dan Hooks took over the West Orange-Stark head coaching job from Steve McCarty in 1981.  He took over a team that was 9-1 in 1980 and subsequently coached the Mustangs to 7-3, 6-4 and 3-7 (the first ever losing season in WO-S history) records over the next 3 seasons.  At the end of his seventh season, the Mustangs had 2 state championship trophies in their trophy case.
    A second history lesson, Hooks' successor, a guy some of y'all might know, lost 3 of his first 4 games as Mustang head coach after he surmised the offense would be better off from the I formation rather than the spread.  And that was after his first coaching stint where he went 1-9 and was known around East Texas as the "guy who kept Adrian Peterson on the junior varsity." Despite all that, the Mustangs have never been less than 4 rounds deep in the playoffs with Cornel Thompson as head coach, have made 4 more trips to the state finals' made and put 2 more state championships trophies in the trophy case over on Newton Street in West Orange.
    Not every decision of Hooks or Thompson did not pan out.  But the community as a whole let these guys coach their team.  Sure, like any community, the Greater Orange area had their share on village idiots who made their feelings known........they still do. But these guys were given the opportunity to coach their teams.
    The Lumberton ISD could hire a coach who has a resume of accolades to span goal line to goal line at Raider Stadium to replace Chris Babin.  First, they will not find anybody who cares for his kids as much as Coach Babin.  Second, even if the resume is better, they will fare no better if the community doesn't get off of his back.

    oldman reacted to THE DUDE in Sub Varsity Scores ?   
    problem is that the truth HURTS.
    in a world where everybody gets a trophy parents don't want to hear that JV and below games are nothing more than a glorified practice.
    don't get me wrong practices are important just not the SCORE.
    the only scores that matter are at the VARSITY level.

    People "move in" to Barrett because they want to play for Crosby who has been a very successful program compared to the Baytown schools. It wasn't that long ago that Olin was able to recruit some pretty decent players (including a QB) from Barrett to Lee.
    And yes, it seems that Crosby's current QB started his high school career at GCM. No matter what, you play with the ones that stay. Been like that since the program killing move to 6A at GCM. Those two years set them back 5 years and they are working hard to recover. The "losing" mindset is a tough one to break. It's at that point kids look for greener pastures. 
    The Hispanic players at all three schools in Baytown have been valuable contributiors to the football programs. However, most of the Hispanic athletes in the district do not play football. If you watch NCAA or professional football you see that is not out of the ordinary. If look at all 3 high schools, there is plenty of football talent in Baytown.  It's just spread too thin.
    Bottom line, it was a great win for GCM and a tough loss for RSS. To start a rivalry, you have to win a few. I hope this kickstarted that rivalry. Baytown needs it.
