No disrespect to him but it is VERY easy to run up to 700 wins when you are playing a very week pre-district schedule every year. WH record is a very soft schedule this year, the one solid team with a winning record this year they played come from 1A Leggett and they lost to them..
Tekoa Academy - played twice & beat twice Bob Hope - played 3 times and beat 3 times O'Connell - played once and won
Harmony Science Academy - played 3 times and beat 3 times High Island - played 3 times and beat 3 times
SW Louisiana Homeschool - played twice and split Hardin - played once and won
WEST HARDIN OILERS (26-7, 5-0)Go to complete schedule in topics to see complete schedule and results. But my point is 14 of those 26 games in the beginning were against schools with no winning record. This pads coaches win records and can run them up real quick. If WH had been playing teams like some of the other 2A schools were Kelly (twice), East Chambers, Hampshire Fannet, Buna, Kirbyville (twice), Jasper, Huntington, Lufkin Pineywood, Alto, Onalaska, Big Sandy, Cushing and a couple of others not real strong the record would be much different and the 700 wins wouldn't have come as quick. When you play soft pre-district schedule each year it don't take long, I'm just saying.
He is a good coach but not one of the best in area. There are several coaches in the area hands down are the areas best but may not be at 700 because of the tough pre-district and district games they have scheduled. Hands down 22-2A is the toughest 2A district and I just don't see anyone from WH district getting past that district, their #3 or possibly #4 could have swept WH district.
The WH coach retired from Georgetown High School a while back. He may be the best coach in the area for rebuilding programs. He knows how to schedule, discipline, and create expectations for the team he has. His full coaching record reflects that. He is from SE Texas and it is sad that because his greatest successes were out of the area, he is disrespected in his home area. He is teaching the game he loves to players and making them better. What is the “best” expected to do?
