HD94

Didn’t have to do with anything about noise. I know some people wished it did. Has to do with making football decision and what’s best for the team.  There gonna be a lot more made too. The coach is starting his 2nd season.  So I guess he don’t get a fair chance?  I know they are the most physical team HD has had in a while.  He got them flying around and playing hard.  

I believe this game was rescheduled as a double header Friday.

I am picking HD to win, but Dville is not an easy place to get a win. I am picking HD simply because I believe we are the faster team, it sure is good to be able to say that again.

I believe you should reward your best coach with the AD title.  If that means its the girls basketball coach then it is what it is.  I think the issue comes in that a good head football coach expects the AD title and pay.  I am just crazy enough to think we should do what's best for the students, and I believe that is rewarding good coaches, those not only successful on the field or court but those able to build relationships with the students.  You want more kids involved in more sports, someone has to do the hard work of building relationships.  When we had Coach Finney at HD, we fielded a JV and Varsity football team and had more girls involved in athletics, simply because students loved him and wanted to play for him not because he was AD.

Who were these coaches run off in the last several years?  My whole point is a disservice was done to the students and it looks like no one will be held responsible.  As adults we have to make tough decisions, the decision should of been made in a timely manner to which HD would have had a head coach on the sidelines Friday nights, not handed down the day before practice began.

I know enough of the situation to know the right thing by the students wasn't done. You can blame Hodges or the school board/superintendent it makes no matter.  No one in their right mind can say this was ok.  You say you have so much knowledge of the situation but would you be ok if your son had to suffer because the head coach decided he would do other things instead of fulfilling his obligations. Once again he should have stepped away last year and done the right thing.

No one is saying they are not great guys.  No one is saying they don't love their students.  Coaching is a job that will always be judged on the product you put on the field.  If we have kids that attend the school and we live in the community, I believe we have a right to an opinion on this issue.

Me saying current HC/AD is saying this wasn't a permanent thing and Hodges will return as head coach.  Almost no small school has an AD that's not the HC also, and HD never has.  He was hired to be AD/HC, in fact hired for football specifically.  Again my point is if he knew he couldn't or wouldn't fulfil his obligation he should have stepped aside at the end of last school year to give the the school the opportunity to bring in a head coach for football.  It's ok if we don't agree on that, but that doesn't make our opinion ignorant.  I also disagree with coaching didn't impact the outcome of the games.  Again I am not saying we would have necessarily won more games, just that we could've competed better in games.  

"HD fans are notorious", most of us HD fans will always pay for a few posters.  I understand that a coach sacrifices a lot to coach, especially family time.  I am a teacher and a pastor, but when I went to college I only wanted to coach.  By the time I graduated I didn't feel I could give the time required, so I chose not to coach.  If he knew he couldn't make the sacrifices needed he should have resigned. You are not going to convince me otherwise.  The school I teach at won't let me sit at home and pay me.  Like I said, most of us expected a down year, but it was the way kids seemed lost much of the time.  Either way this season is over, now the decision has to be made whether the current HC/AD stays are not.  I honestly don't see him leaving, but as a fan we can have an opinion on the issue.  Let me ask, how many HD games did you attend this year?  Do you think coaching had no effect on the product on the field?  

There are plenty of candidates anytime a head coaching job comes open, regardless of the school

He speaks truth but my question is why does he only speak the truth about a certain couple of teams?
He comes off as a hater.

Honestly, the score of this game will be dependent upon the mercy of the SA coach.

Old school fan, I wish y'all the best.  

Proud of Roschon Johnson and the effort and intensity he brought to the table tonight.

I'd keep Johnson as a starter at RB. 

Can we use the excuse HD beat themselves?  Just kidding.  WH was the better team tonight.  We knew there would be growing pains with this young team, we just hoped it wouldn't be at this game.  I for one am excited for the future at HD.  Good game by the Oilers and I really liked their offense.  The thing about this game is you talk trash all the way till game time then you go across the field and hug your family.

HD94, we were right where y’all are at three years ago. Nine of these seniors started varsity as freshman and got there butts handed to them every Friday night but stuck it out knowing that it would pay dividends in the end. They’re playing with a chip on their shoulder right now and just a touch of an attitude. Good luck to your young team this year.

I agree HD has a special core of young studs for years to come. 

I understand HD's victory was against Burkeville, which is not a good measuring stick by any means, but I was really impressed by the freshmen and the team as a whole.  I don't think we are talking state champions by any stretch of the imagination, but I think we are going to get some wins this season.  I do think HD takes this one and don't care by how much.  If this class of freshmen stay together and stay healthy they are a special group, that's a big IF.   

Agreed, and I don’t see anyone getting excited... That would be like poor Hardin, getting excited for scheduling a homecoming game the 1st game of the year, vs a historically bad program and getting the win, oh they just did that lmao... 

You’re kidding about someone’s homecoming game right?

Hull-Daisetta won 3-0
