This will be H-F's year. They are stronger and Faster!

Way to go Silsbee!

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1409637" timestamp="1370006284"] WOS had 4 D1 players on defense last year with speed! Navasota tore them up though. Navasota is returning a ton of talent as well. Surely they will be #1 when the polls open up along with Stephenville. [/quote] Yea, Navasota must make their kids run to school and back or something. Them boys is fast. "Run Forest Run"

Go Silsbee! We need a 21-3A State Champion!!!

Great Job!

Great job Chase!

Good Season BH!

Congrats Players!

Has the 21-3A All-District Teams been released?

The first I have heard about it. Very Cool!

great Job Christian Thames!

Great season Silsbee!

Lets give the AD the chance to turn the program around. Its what we all should do no matter who the AD is. I am sure there is so much pressure at an AD job. This is a baseball forum, which is my love. I hope the chemistry between Coach Morris and his coaching staff is what is needed right now for the program. He also deserves the opportunity to do his job. Go Horns!

[/quote] I am sure their time will come. Was he/she the JV coach this year? [/quote]No [b]not [/b] the JV coach.  I am sure most are surprised the assistant varsity coach (Keeney) didn't get a shot. This man knows baseball!!!! [/quote] Don't know him so I am not surprised. I am curious, how do you know he did not get a shot, at an interview? [/quote] I would say the interview was just for show...AD knew who he was going to bring in! [/quote] Which one is it? "He had no shot" or he "had a shot"? An interview is a shot!  :o Give me a break! Just because he did not get the job this time does not mean there is a conspiracy against the coach. People interview for jobs everyday in this world and just don't get it. People also get laid off. I am thankful for my job (even though I am working nights) and hopefully this person is also. He had his interview. You are telling me he was the assistant coach, correct? Had the team made the playoffs the last few years or even come in 4th place, he probably would have more to discuss in a interview. So, who is surprised? I hope he is able to continue to grow as a coach and maybe be apart of a consistent playoff program. We have so much baseball talent in our area. This may be what the program needs at this point.

According to the buzz I heard in the short ten minutes I was there, this man is not well liked! One person said "oh he talks a good game when needed, but becomes a completely different character behind closed doors"  He has been at HF for a year now and I guess his true colors are starting to show.  They always do in time. [/quote] He probably was not hired on his ability to host signing ceremonies. I am sure the athletes that signed don't appreciate your comments though. Its about their great accomplishments, not how long the ceremony was. Congrats those that signed, and we are so proud of you. What else is there to say? [/quote]You totally missed the big picture.  The way this man hosted the ceremony was a reflection of his lack of support and respect for his athletes.  The ten minute ceremony itself wouldn't have been offending if those ten minutes were spent celebrating these athletes accomplishments.  The AD showed absolutely no pride in the athletes great accomplishments.  These athletes deserved better and if this man does not have the ability to host signing ceremonies or is not capable of executing a professional/respectful ceremony I am sure Hamshire Fannett has many more employees that are not only able, but willing to take on this role. [/quote] I think you are just grasping for something to complain about. [/quote]Your wrong.  I have no reason to just complain to be complaining. I don't even have children at HF nor did I graduate from HF.  I was attending the ceremony because of a connection I have with one of the athletes and truly felt sorry for how little recognition was given to those 4 men.  An observation.......sad observation [/quote] Yes, we believe you. This was your 3,4, and 5 post as Hawkeye81 and its just to complain about a ceremony? How silly is this? What was post 1 and 2 on?  My nephew signed a letter to play tennis. He went to a high school in Houston. The letter was signed in the coaches office. This school won state in football recently. He must be a bad coach too. He did not even have a ceremony.  Again, he was not hired on ceremonies, and I am sorry you did not feel his emotion at the ceremony.  stop the rumor (a "buzz" is code for rumor) mill!!!!

[/quote] That is true also. A good assistant is a valuable person in anything you do.

If so it would explain A LOT [/quote] That is an outstanding question!  Not too sure on the answer, but definately something to look into. That is a real shame about the 5th athlete and the way the AD spoke about the athletes that were moving on to the next level.  I don't understand how the administation can turn a blind eye to what is going on! [/quote] From what I have read, he is not related to the superintendent, nor Garrett Morris or Dick Morris neither. Morris is a pretty common name.  :P
