Building a program takes time. Knowing him as personally as I do, I hope they give Coach Stark the time to do it, because he's one of the good ones. It may take a few years, but TRUST me y'all wont regret it....

I'd say 10 2a D1 is pretty stacked, with 4 of the top ten teams in the same district......
 

What would a 5A Louisiana school be equivalent to in Texas? Many has become a powerhouse at the 2A level the past three year in Louisiana.They're right across the river from me and I hear about them all the time. Think they have an ex Hemphill coach for their DC. What would a 2A LA school be equivalent to in TX by the way?
Off topic here, but you might want to keep your eye on SFA in the Southland Conference. They could have the defensive newcomer of the year in FS Hunter Cabral (The same one who tore it up at WS a few years ago). Just watch for #47 if you catch any of their games....

Well, im just glad this one not in the pickems. Good luck to yall this week. 

From what I saw of the West Sabine scrimmage vs. SA/Colmesneil, it might shape up to be a good year in TigerLand. Got Smith at QB and they have several RB's that were just smokin people.
 

They got themselves a good HC/AD in Vanya and they will be on the upswing if they give him time. He took WS to the state semis in 02-03. My nephew was a DE/LB on that team. Don't know about this year, though....

The one and only Sabine County Super Bowl, West Sabine vs. Hemphill!

DeMarie Smith, SR ATH West Sabine. He's a Swiss Army Knife on the field for the Tigers, lining up in at least 3 different positions on offense and is a lockdown CB on defense. Did I mention he runs back kicks and punts too (with 4.5 speed)? As usual with the great ones, though, it will all depend on how fast the WS o-line can gel.....

Knowing Coach Stark (Hardin HC) from his days at West Sabine I feel that, barring injuries, he will have them competing for the fourth spot out of this district in year two. Not saying they'll get it, but they'll be in the mix. This is indeed a tough district that I know absolutely nothing about, but I know Stark will have his kids ready to compete every Friday night and whoever they play had better buckle their chinstraps, for it will be physical. Do I see them beating La Marque, Hitchcock and East Chambers? Not yet, but there are FAR too many unknowns to be going too far out on a limb to make a prediction.....

Intensity is the right word for Coach Stark. I got to know him at West Sabine for the four years I covered the team for the local paper, and he's a good one that y'all need to have stick around awhile. I think that barring injuries this year y'all could compete for a playoff spot. Don't know the roster, but I know the coach well, and even with this being a murderous district, win, lose or draw I guarantee three things from a Tod Stark team: physicality, intensity and attention to detail.They may end up being outscored, but they will never be outplayed or outhustled.....

Several of the kids aren't going to play football next year so we shall see. Coach Stark has been great for the program. Kids just need to stay with it.

My son met Coach Stark when he first came to Hardin in the spring of 2015. He said he loved the guys intensity and would've loved to have had the chance to play for him. 

WO-S isn't concerned about this:

They are looking for this:

You got that right. That is the most important thing of all.......
 

SR DeMarie Smith for WS: RB/CB in football (3,000 all purpose yards and 30 total TD), PG in basketball (avg. 20-25 ppg.), SS/P in baseball (makes the spectacular plays at short look easy). Valedictorian of his class as well, I believe.

Zavalla is in West Sabine's district and we always could expect one thing when we played them: hard-nosed, in-your-face defense, cat quick guard play and tenacity in spades. Her 500th win was against WS at Zavalla in 2013. I was there that night covering the game for the Sabine County Reporter. Congratulations Coach West on a fantastic career…….

Echo what Cherter86 said.  That IS a bunch of wins  
Congrats to her!

Congrats.  The few times I have seen her, she has always been a very classy coach.  500 (+) wins is impressive no matter who you are, or what you coach.

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Coach Jan West coached her last home game in Zavalla tuesday night. I am 41 years old and moved to Zavalla in 1985 from PN-G  wasnt to long after moving there I visited Eagles gym there and watched my first game coached by Jan West.  I remember thinking she was very tall. Back in those days her teams were very good. Coach West coached in Zavalla soemwere aorund 33 years. She won her 500th game back in 2013. I do not know what her final record is but I know she was very faithful to the ZISD as she turned down many many offers from larger schools to leave Zavalla. I remember getting to school early to see her Lady Eagles teams off to the state tourny when I was in high school there. Those teams were really good. She was a hard nosed coach who loved her girls. She is a coaching legend there up in the country and she will be missed on the sidelines.......   Good luck Coach West
