    This will never be the answer. Teaching like coaching should be performance based but teacher unions dictate their wages and benefits. Head football coaches are usually the ADs and considered administration. Assistant coaches (who also teach) wages are more in line with teacher pay. So, teachers can make more money if they do more than teach; i.e. coach, teach music, tutor, drive buses, etc., etc. It's just like any other JOB in the USA. My daughter has raised her salary by doing these things, continuing her education and moving up in the food chain. That's how it works.

    Pleasant Grove is not a better version of Kennedale; Kennedale and WOS went to overtime to decide their game and both are in the big dance. I got WOS by 14 points in this one. Personally, I think Madisonville would beat Pleasant Grove; having a big O-line ain't all that. Having a physically fit O-line is.

    We are living in the best state that takes a lot of pride in our High school football. So, naturally, our coaches are gonna get paid accordingly! 
    Plus, working 7 days a week during the season and pulling late hours every night for practice, I think they earn it! As long as football games keep pulling in a crowd and makes the school money then I see no problem with it.

    Kennedale play Carthage for state, their only loss all year, again show how good WOS can play on game day. Proud of WOS for making 4 straight state finals.

    I drove through Brock a couple of years back. There is not a red light in that town. Nice bedroom community of western Fort Worth. Love to run the wishbone.

    I wonder why they don't ever do any zone read options from the spread. They got the perfect qb for it. Everytime they use him to run it's just a direct qb run. At least give the defense an option that the rb may have the ball. Jmo

    Got a message from a good friend who is a HUGE PAM fan I sat with at the game about what was going on in this thread. Been too busy to be around the board much this year but I hate seeing this. What happened is what happened for whatever reason it happened. I have exactly zero belief it was racially motivated....probably more gamesmanship. Personally, I think Xbox was going to pull out all stops after the embarassment from 2016. This discussion should have taken place during the PAM / Vidor thread (the game we didn't show up for). Our past is our past and it should stay there, IN THE PAST. Or maybe everyone here can explain it to the black children on our team (of which the number is growing exponentially). I doubt we'll ever see PAM in a football game again unless we do it in the pre-district play. We're down to 1280 kids and I predict 4A within four years. For my part, I spent $10 to watch the Temple game on Texan Live and it was worth every penny. I do want to know where the safety help was for the cornerback with 52 seconds left in the game. Seriously? Extremely proud of how the Titans represented SETX and congratulations on a great season.

    This is their game vs waco. We will have definite opportunities to move the ball on O. They imo are not all that impressive on D. Can't have mistakes like penalies and drops to help them out.
    On O what worries me is their pace if they get in a groove. Better be ready to make the tackle and line back up immediately. They take advantage of confusion.

    For some reason we don't seem to have opened up the playbook in the same way since that PAM game. We played with such a limited approach against Nederland and Texas City.
