WO-S/South Beauregard has been cancelled

That's a new one.

A couple of thoughts in this matter. First, like my bud prepballfan, I have no vested interest in the outcome of this search other than being a fan of football in this area. That being said, when it was time for my alma mater to move on from a long time successful coach, they chose a longtime assistant. If I may say so, that transition has turned out pretty well. There is something to be said in stability of a program and a seamless transition to a trusted assistant. Now, I know Monte Barrow only by reputation, but everything I have heard, both in and outside of Nederland paints, him as a coach capable of continuing what Coach Neumann built. So logic would dictate that Coach Barrow be given the opportunity to continue the program on its current track. And it appears that several feel that way. If you are one of them, you might want to take a little bit more interest that just posting your support here. Call the board members and the superintendent A LOT, they know the score and even if it appears not, they are listening. And this is the time to express your preference. For when the decision is made, it is time for the campaigning for a coach to stop. It is kind of disturbing to see the forecasts of gloom and doom should Coach Barrow not be the NISD's choice. No coach, no matter how talented, will be successful if the community does not support him. I have seen in before, when a community comes out of the chute going after a coach, it does not end well and the rebuild after such a disaster is more difficult and takes a lot more time than folks think....sometimes, it is never rebuilt. Sure, right now, throw your support behind Coach Barrow if he is your choice and go all in on that support. But when the choice is made, go all in behind the guy that is chosen.

I agree with that, too.

No, the HJ/Washington game will be tomorrow night.

I agree.

You are asking the exact question that came to my mind when I saw the tweet. And I don't know the answer to it.

Evadale/Hardin has been cancelled.

BridgeCityBaseball ‏@bccardsbaseball Tonight's game vs Kelly has been cancelled. Cards will face Kirbyville in the Jasper Tourney at 10am Thursday #26

Hey Mother Nature! We wanna play ball!

Well, according to a tweet by Thompson, the Jasper ISD super says that Coach Barbay is still employed with the school district.

Congrats!

Tonight the Silsbee Tigers begin their Class 4A playoff journey as they take on the Huntington Red Devils. Joe Sigler's Tigers, 26-6 on the season, captured the 22-4A district championship with a 9-1 district mark. Meanwhile, the Red Devil's, 15-16 on the season, finished season tied for 2nd in District 21-4A with a 4-4 record but are slotted in the #4 seed position after a 53-40 loss to Lufkin Hudson on Friday. The winner of this game will face the winner of the Hardin-Jefferson/Houston Washington bi-district game (to be played tomorrow night) in the area round.

No doubt, with his coaching record (118-72, 41-32 at Hull-Daisetta, 34-21 at Anahuac, 43-19 at Jasper) he will rise to the top of a number of coaching searches. The question is will he have to? I might be reading this completely wrong, but Coach Barbay currently looks to be the middle flag on a tug of war rope with Jasper ISD administration pulling on one end and the Jasper ISD Board of Trustees pulling on the other, leaving him in what could best be viewed as limbo. Whatever direction the district goes in, they need to come out definitively one way or the other and soon. To do anything else would be patently unfair to Barbay as well as being disastrous for the athletic program, particularly the football part of it.

Well, I am getting a bit confused here. While David Thompson and Art Lay are claiming up and down the Coach Barbay was not removed on Friday, posts here, largely from the Jasper community seem to indicate that Coach Barbay was removed. Do we know which it is?

Actually, that is a question I have because there is already a girls game scheduled for 6 pm on Tuesday at Livingston HIgh

Skuza was JISD super from August 2013 until June of last year when he retired. Gerald Hudson, the current super, was hired in November.
