Kirbyville hires basketball coach KIRBYVILLE By David Henry Kirbyville athletic director and head football coach Greg Neece hopes hiring Jerry Stapert as head coach will be the first step in turning around the team’s struggling basketball program, which went 0-12 in district play in 2011. Stapert has been the head basketball coach and athletic director at Brookeland the last two seasons. “I’m really excited because Coach Neece wants to turn things around and have a successful basketball program here,” Stapert said. “Neece has great ideas for making it an event here in Kirbyville that everybody will be proud to go to like football is on Friday night.” Stapert was the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Coach of the Year in 2008 after leading Spurger to a 28-8 record and a trip to the Class A regional final. Stapert coached the Kirbyville basketball team in 2009 before leaving for Brookeland. “He’s a good man, good coach, who does basketball right,” Neece said. Stapert says there is good young talent coming up in the basketball program, including the incoming eighth grade group that his son is a part of. That group went to nationals in Little Dribblers the last two years, Stapert said. Stapert says he’ll bring an up-tempo style of play including pressing and running. “I feel that will work well with the type of athletes we have in Kirbyville,” Stapert said. “The first thing is working on our skill base and fundamentals.” In addition to Stapert, Neece also hired Ted Williams as defensive coordinator on Tuesday night to replace W.T. Johnston, who took over as the Newton head football coach/athletic director in December. Williams was the offensive coordinator at Jasper last season and coached in Kirbyville for the 2007 and 2008 seasons, coaching the secondary in 2008. Williams, who has never been a defensive coordinator before, will run a 4-3 attacking-style of defense. “He’s very well thought of in the community,” Neece said of Williams. “He coaches with a lot of emotion. The kids love him and are excited about him. He demands 100 percent and pushes them to the limit.”

Everyone here on the site is to be commended for doing their job making the sup and committee do their job. Congrats Cornell Thompson on being [b]RECOMMENDED[/b] for the position of AD/HC at WOS High school!! Here's to hoping the school board "does it's job" ;) and votes you in as athletic director. [/quote] Forced their hand??? So, by saying that, it implies that they would have chosen a different path. Does anyone ever see the bright side or think for one minute that a procedure was followed and the right man was chosen for the right job period. [/quote] Yes, they heard the community's voice and adhered to it. Pretty simple. They could have chosen a different path but went with the right thing and chose the right man. however the procedure. To state that the sup and committee was not influenced by what the community wanted would be naive.

The school board still has to vote him in. The sup is only recommending Thompson for the job. Let's hope the board "does it's job" and votes him in.

Playoffs? You got HF winning the state title, not just making the playoffs. ::) All this time I thought you were somewhat of an intelligent man.

  ;) ;D

There is also a possibility of another 3 way tie. BC, HF and Silsbee could finish at 7-3 with each having split with one another.

I'll go back and find that post. ;) [/quote]2012-13 sir [/quote] So, you are giving the new coach just two years ::) to win a state title at a school that annually finishes at the bottom of their district. Right, no pressure. ::) Won't happen and I am willing to bet that the two "chosen" ones will not even finish their schooling at HF. ;)

Incredible!!! Proof right in front of your eyes and you still deny it!! You have big issues Kerry!!!

[quote name="Bobcat05" post="999991" timestamp="1303269840"] Is he the same coach who wore sunglasses on his head while coaching?  Was the head coach for the girls in 09? [/quote] Decello was the girls coach at Kountze a few years ago.

Kerry, you need to come forward NOW!!! You are putting us in a bad situation. I do not want to lose any admin or mod because you are acting so foolishly. What say you, Kerry?

Personally I like hard nosed coaches and don't mind the cursing.  [/quote] I haven't fabricated anything, spoken nothing but truth. What I meant by "tough spot" was that all the pressure is on Decello to win a state championship this coming season. If he doesn't, it will be a total failure since a state title for next season was predicted by the "chosen" folks at HF.

Broadcast has started!

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="999508" timestamp="1303234021"] Let's see: 1.  Over 30 years of service to the West Orange-Cove ISD.  He is one of few members of the school district whose service to the district PRE-DATES the merger of West Orange and Stark High Schools; 2.  Assistant head coach and defensive coordinator for a team that has 2 state championships, 4 state championship game appearances and 5 regional titles; 3.  Countless players on the West Orange-Stark defense have gone on to play college football, many of them in FBS Division of the NCAA and some in the National Football League; 4.  A creator of defenses so effective that he has been asked to lecture about them; 5.  A friend to all in the community , not just athletes; 6.  A person who doesn't look at this head coaching job as a stepping stone for other opportunities as this is his dream job; 7.  A person who has been endorsed by current players as the best choice for the next head coach at WO-S; 8.  A person who has been endorsed by past players as the best choice for the next head coach at WO-S; 9.  A person who has been nearly unanimously endorsed by members of the the coaching fraternity as the best choice for the next head coach at WO-S; 10. He has been endorsed as head coach by those candidates who have been contacted by members of this very search committee to compete against Cornel Thompson for the head coaching position; And finally this is a statement that I have heard across all of these cross section of those groups that have weighed in: CORNEL THOMPSON [size=14pt]IS[/size] WEST ORANGE-STARK.
