TD Crosby. Nice drive. 21-7

According to Coach Slack, 7 freshmen on the team.....4 of them are starters.

1-0 dayton final 

Can't say enough about this Lady Bronco team.  Coach Bell has this team clicking at the rt time & there is no doubt Brooke Austin is the top pitcher in this district.  Awesome job ladies!

1-0 top of the 7th  KPark up

They put a beat down on the team that won the 5a D2 title game last year. Always loaded with talent. Nice when you can recruit.

Be cool if they did. Always said these 2 schools are by far the best programs in SETX.

By the looks of this Westerberg made Allen into a power house. But I'm  assuming everyone say the kids just got better.

Heres Carthage, and Surratt has one 6-6 season but overall is successful than  the other coaches prior to him. Some Coaches do better jobs then other coaches at motivating players and his assisting coaches. Now do I think talent plays a roll in winning championships sure it does but I also think an average team could win at least 10 games a year with a good coach that makes a discipline team. I'm sure some folks will disagree but some people do better jobs then others that's why they get paid more like Surratt. By the way Can LCM hire Surratt back please? lol

Yeah I hear ya. I’m pretty sure our coach is under 500 but he’s 4th highest paid in the area.

Great question. Heck we're keeping a coach that's racked up 7 total wins his first 2 seasons and broke a 20 year playoff streak. He did continue his streak of not making the playoffs this year though and followed up a 4 win season last year with 3 wins this year. Dude from Navasota must not know the right people.

Agree completely. Just look what's happened to Dayton when Stewart left. Stewart won district I believe 10 times. He also had a ton of playoff wins. Since he stepped down from head coach no district titles. Heck we can't even make the playoffs anymore and up until he completely left the program Dayton had one of the longest playoff streaks in the state. Give me a great coach and he will find Jimmy and Joes. 

Carthage hadn't won a championship ever. Had only played in 1 in the history of the program. In the 7 years prior to Surratt arriving in 2007, Carthage had 2 1-9 seasons. Had not been out of the 2nd round of the playoffs in that decade. Surratt comes to town and 11 years later he has more championships than playoff losses. The jimmies and joes did not change. Coaching matters.

It takes three things to win a state championship, players, good coaches allowed to do their job and parents who do not interfere with the coaches. Winning begets participation. I have been to games where I saw students sitting in the stands who looked liked they might be pretty good athletes. Why in the stands and not participating, who wants to put all that time practicing expending blood, sweat and tears into losing. I have seen teams with athletes and the coaches not know what to the with them. I have seen coaches favor athletes ( don’t work rest of the players recents it), let outside interest influence who plays and where ( don’t work, need your best players in the position that benefits the team the most). It takes a great coach to inspire the kids and rule ( my way or the highway) and avoid the outside influences ( look back on 2014 Newton 1-3 going into playing WOS. Coach Johnson speaking to a reporter said if the players would listen to him and the parents would stay out of it and let him do his job everything would be okay. The rest is history, went on and defeated WOS and played for a state championship) What made the difference, same roster no new players. Coaching made the difference. I fully believe every school has athletes getting them to participate is another chore, but  a winning tradition breeds participation.

When Dayton seniors got their final home game win.

Hell he accounted for over 500 yds of offense by himself. Just imagine what he and HP could do if only they were athletic.
