Have not been told a number.

KJ Johnson, girls basketball coach at Liberty, has been hired to be the new head boys basketball coach at Hamshire-Fannett. Congrats Coach Johnson.

Getting to the top of the division may come sooner than the All-Star break.

Still interviewing

This is good news. Would attract better applicants.

He didn't coach but was in charge of the film crew. He had that responsibility. At least, that was what I was told.

One things for sure, both sides like to move the goal posts. But hey, that's politics.

That's what I am being told. Former girls basketball coach that is.

Yes, reassigned. I have not heard where he will be going.

For what it's worth, I think the new hire for boys basketball will get things turned around on that front.

Same here. The one that would have been hired and IMO been a great fit, backed out.

That was pretty comical how they lost today. Some little league stuff.

Houston is 13-13 and you can thank the pitching for the Astros not being under .500. They have the 2nd best ERA in AL with a 3.11, best WHIP at 1.08 and 2nd best opponent OBP at .206. They also lead the league in quality starts with 13. Where as the hitting or lack thereof is the Astros downfall so far this season. Sitting 9th in the league in team batting average at .230 and 10th in runs scored. Only 2 teams (Royals and White Sox) have worse slugging percentages and OPS than Houston. Losing Bregman and Tucker bats are really showing right now but also Alverez, Diaz and Walker need to pick it up. All are in a significant slump at the plate. With all that, Astros are only 1.5 back of first in the division. Plenty of baseball still to play. If the pitching can stay this good and consistent, I believe the hitting will come around.

To be accurate, boys basketball record ended up being 11-15. The girls side of athletics is definitely needing upgrading.

I walked to school 10 miles uphill, both ways.

So far, pretty obvious the age group that hangs around these lower forums. 45-75

61 last Saturday

I have been told the decision will be Monday. Heard it's down to 3. Two local head coaches and a retire rehire guy from SA.

Someone told me the AD position was included in this opening.

Nope

Did very well in the 7 on 7 game yesterday against Lumberton. Silsbee won 59-12

He is just a basketball coach looking to advance his career in basketball. English is not leaving Nederland just yet so the head basketball coach position is not open for Bryant to apply for. Bryant will not go to Nederland and bring his sons without being the head basketball coach.

Wasn't just about money but that had a huge factor.

Currently 2nd best team ERA in American League and up to 8th in team batting average. Has improved batting average over the last 12 games from .204 to now .237. This current good play trend will lead to more wins and less losses.
