Kelly did what they were suppossed to.  With I heard 18 seniors and a returning backfield.  Great job, they looked good. Coach Long did a great job when he was there to prepare these boys and the new coach should continue it.  I thought Hardin's JV looked better, but its all a matter of opinin since there is no scores.    Good luck against Liberty.

Hardin is pretty young, inexperienced.  4 sophs that played JV last yr that start.    6 Seniors.    5 returning off staters, about 8 returning def. Starters.  Lots of JV. Experience out there.  This is s group of hardworkers ready to learn.   

It will be a long season for Hardin IMO.    They lost a lot of senior leadership. . Lost 2. 1000 yd plus receivers.and the QB.  Kelly looks good, but did get beat a couple of times deep.  Kelly did dominate the line on both sides.

Kelly looks very good.  Big, strong, lots of speed.  Hardin is very young and small.  Saw a few bright spots.

Good luck to da lil Doves, Enjoy the school year. 

MrGarrity is probably just yanking your chain, trying to stir the pot If you know Lance and Duane, you know they are of integrity and not easily riled.  Shake the haters off

He's right. Franchise 3T 15U is not very good.  And it's not jealousy.  It's great to see the kids putting work to get better. Beat who you should easily handle is fine. It's good competition. 

Nederland will have a good team for a few years. Great coach too.  Weren't most of the top high school AAU teams in either Orlando or Vegas this past weekend, playing in Nationals, Showcases or getting there for the Super 64?

I have seen Tony since he was a little boy on the track and in youth football.  He helped lead the Beamont Bulls to a Super Bowl trophy.  He is a very nice young man, very intelligent.  He has a great family influence.  Tony, we are so proud of you. Best of luck to you and your family.    Coach Mary. 

Glad Joubert got some recognition. He deserves it.  Can't wait to see the positive thing these guys do working together.

Congrats Lance.  I know you'll do a great job. Lance is a 1st class guy.

AAW.    Very nice write up on Duane.      He deserves a shot at AD, he has been putting in work at Kountze.  He did a great job while at Hardn also.  Good luck Joub you know you have supporters around you wherever you are.

I wish the man well. I doubt anyone here wants to see him fal.  It is just strange to move a junior high coach to. Head C/ AD position.  I could even see having another coach there as AD and interim HC for the 1st year.  Most HS Head C have coached on the varsity leve.  Been a coordinator, etc.  Best of luck. Anyone have knowledge of the stats of middle school coach to AD jump in Tx?

Is he the St Annes middle school coach ?    Hired over the existing coaches there and some other coaches?  What's going on

There is a lot of that in AAU .  I'm ok with the GEs which are older kids that are in a grade.with younger kids either because of failing a school year or being held back because of maturity issues or athletic purposes.  It usually catches up to them, when the rest start catching up to them puberty wise. And it helps the kids who are playing in the correct age group, as they are already playing older, stronger players.

That is a slap in the face to not offer the AD to Joubert.  I am sure this will mean more changes to come.

Congrats Bealoved.  You have worked so hard. I've seen you since you were little and you always work hard.Great job.

Good luck to the local teams and players going to Nationals and end of Summer tournaments.  Work hard.

Jason Henry from West Hardin ?  Good Coach and used to be at Kelly.  Haynes has applied is what I have heard. 

Leave it where it is,  Mine can't be there the next week !   LOL

At one time Kelly had an endowment fund.  They also have a pay by your income.  You still have to take a entrance test and maintain your grades to stay there.

No word on applicants / interviews yet?

Kelly and Hardin have a scrimmage scheduled this season, should be interesting to see who is coaching where.

Coach Long wanted to stay at Kelly as long as he could.  Great Man!  He is leaving to be closer to his family.  He is blessed to be able to work as an Assistant at a school closer to his parents and work toward retirement.  He has been exceptional at Kelly and toward the community.  I was the President of the Beaumont Bulls Youth FB League when they played at Kelly, and he was a true inspiration.  He did everything he could for those young boys.  He also did the same for the Beaumont Bulldogs since they started playing there.  As for as who will replace him, Good luck to that Coach, Kelly has alot of talent there and a ton of support from parents, fans, staff, and Ex Bulldogs.  Good Luck Coach Long from the Dumas family

Congrats Bealoved,  Hard work pays off !!
