What is his record at Anahuac? [/quote] Barbay is 33-21 at Anahuac. [/quote] just as important, what is the talent level at Anahuac? that is like an avg of 61% winning ratio. that might be excellent for the talent level?? or terrible?? will a 61% winning record will cut it at Jasper? it has not in the past. same question for McGallion and all other finalists about prior records and talent levels. not saying these folks cannot succeed at Jasper; just saying they may have to step it up a notch over what they appear to have done in the past to survive there. [/quote] I will search the others, but for Barbay, 8 of those 21 losses came in his first year at Anahuac (2007). So after that 1st year, he won nearly 70% of his games in a district that has been every bit as competitive, if not more, than 18-3A. 2007 and last year (when he lost a preseason all state running back to a knee injury in the 1st game) were the only 2 years the Panthers did not make the playoffs. Coach Barbay certainly has the game to coach at Jasper.
