So what was the word on this one?

Plenty of applicants. Announcement will occur in about 2-3 weeks.

I would think it would be hard to overlook high island winning jr high district. May not be the sexy pick but with the numbers they had and to clinch the title in evadable is pretty impressive.

Last night High Island ISD voted to drop to 6 man. I think this is an awesome decision and gives them a chance to compete on an even keel with everyone. Thoughts?

Agreed TAMU. No one thinks any of us here are world beaters. Nice to see a reward for he hard work regardless. I guess the system that Louisiana uses would be more palatable to some. They may have 3 or 4 teams from 1 district less in others it depends on strength and power factors.

HI has had an incredibly rough year. 2 games dropped due to injuries to players and not having enough to suit up. They dressed 16 for the game with Sabine Pass. I can certainly agree that there may be teams with more players, talent and ability that will be sitting home instead of making the playoffs. But this squad is the embodiment of the word team. They very easily could have folded up and mailed it in the rest of the season. They gave Burkeville all they could handle and lost the lead late in the 3rd quarter. Instead they have worked hard and have gotten progressively better each week. Howard and trueblue, you say you mean no harm but after witnessing what this group of young men have done it seems tacky and devoid of class for you to offer the comments you have posted. Playoffs are still uncertain depending on the outcome of Sabine Pass and Burkeville anyway. As far as the coach issues it was simply 2 men being passionate about what they do. the cards came out and played as a team the entire 2nd half. We may not be world beaters but I am as proud of this group as any I have seen.

No offense is taken...however week 0 seems like the wrong time for such thoughts? I am confident administration is aware of the fact that the numbers are small and will take action as necessary. They probably won't be making any decisions in week 0...good luck to all Friday.

The numbers at HI may be small but the spirit is strong. HI will play its full season. I have been watching these boys work with their new coaches and the attitude is positive.

Have word that the Board extended an offer to Jeff Jones of Dayton? Any confirmation?

What's the word on coaching changes down there? Any names of interest yet?

Im thinking they will be ok.
