Lawd he's transitioned from Smoaky. 🤦🏾‍♂️
 
Here comes the flood of wos threads. 

I thought it was Skipper at first for a long time, but I was told it wasn't him. Miss ole Skipper, he'd tell the secrets on here. 😁

My own set of 2 a days!
First up:
Nederland:
and
Hardin:
Up tomorrow: Hamshire-Fannett and Colmesneil 

Yes it was. Game was a scoreless pitching dual through 6, then previously undefeated Lake Creek made some fielding errors and BH scored 3 in the 7th. It looked like the game was over then, but BH pitching got tired and walked the bases loaded with no outs! Relief pitcher then recorded 3 consecutive K's to shut the door on Lake Creek. Game 2 Thursday evening at 5.  

BH did get significantly better under Westerberg, we have to give him that. 

So, Toby?

I would have to say this may be the most back wood - none athletic competing - hold my beer "then bust his ARSE" statement I have read in a long time. Track & Field and Elite Track & Field takes more coaching than most sports including football. You show me a coach who can teach proper vertical or horizonal jumps technique and I will also show you a football coach who relies on just given the ball to the best athlete (which takes no coaching). A good track and field coach has to understand how to set up an actual training program for all athletes (runners, jumpers, throwers, distance, sprinters, hurdlers...) When you get into the major metroplex cities outside of SETX most HS only hire non football coaches as their Cross Country / Head Track Coaches, its very rare that you have football coaches as the Head Track/ Cross Country coach.

That 1st year, Xbox feasted on Pasadena ISD and was able to win the district.  Then the UIL put them with NS and WB plus Humble got better quickly.  Didn't understand why he left PA to all places, SC which you are one of 5 schools in a district......
Anyway,
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Lancaster win state meets with a subpar football team until the last 6 or so years.  Having fast kids in the spring doesn't equate success in the fall.  As a contrast, what did BH do at the state meet since they scored a bazillion points at the district meet?
 

Burkeville Mays win 1A 100M IN 10.69

Crosby wins the UIL 5A 4x100 state championship. Not near as fast PAM’s state title but pretty good indication of the athletes Crosby had on the football field since all 4 relay members were starters in the football team. 

Elite track and field takes tons of skill. 6A track and field in Texas is elite. Period. 
It does take major talent, but those sport coaches that don't take track coaching seriously, rarely have a TEAM at the state meet.
 I assume you saw DK Metcalf get an extremely respectable 15th out of 17 against those "unskilled" track athletes yesterday. He's a beast, but nowhere close in terms of track skill, just as those sprinters would be on a football field. The country's top few sprinters weren't even in that 100m field. Track should not be compared to football.
Also, some of those SC kids are track only.

Sets a new 3A record.  
 

Beaumont United Sr. Brianna Howard placed 3rd in the girls 100 meter dash. Her and Rivers mad history in grabbing the school’s first ever state track and field medals...

Beaumont United's Chandler Rivers got 2nd in the Long Jump!
 
Congrats!!!

Crosby wins state in the 4x100 !

Memorial Titans:
Caines win State for Shot Put, Jones gets 4th for High Jump and 3rd for Triple Jump!
CONGRATS!!!!
 

They won state with a total of 6 athletes. A lot of people can run fast or throw or jump, but it is different when you are getting hit in the mouth. Top 6 at state track 6a: 2 didn’t make playoffs, 2 1st round, 1 second round then cedar hill-finalist

And just because you have speed it doesn't mean you have the other pieces that go to the puzzle.  You've got to have the kids up front to be able to open things up or shut things down and I don't think they do especially for what they're going against in their district.

He won the mile as well in 4:26. He earned Onalaska 2nd place in the team standings for 3A. 
 
I am going to try to do research on it but I believe he is first athlete in state history to win all 3 distance races at the state meet. 

He just won the 800 with a time of 1:54.71

No he left Onalaska a handful of years ago. His mom coaches the cross-country teams and I coach the distance runners in track. 
 
Will is also signed to compete for Sam Houston next year in college. Only the 2nd D1 athlete in Onalaska school history. 

He won the 3200 today at the state meet for 3A. He is competing in the 800 and 1600 as well tonight. 

Texas High, Huntsville, FBM, and Liberty Hill were a combined 46-0 before playing Crosby. They were a combined 0-4 after playing Crosby lmao. That is still ridiculous to me. 

I think by feeder programs, he means the quality local leagues and even travel teams that feed successful programs. My son is 13 and we're starting to get a little more serious about baseball. In the couple dozen times we've played in Beaumont, I've only seen one team that feeds into United. They were athletic, but were very young where baseball skills are concerned. There are some folks trying though.
