whsalum

While watching Ohio State vs Miami I saw a familiar face playing TE for the Canes. Chase Ford from Corrigan was wearing #9 and was on the big stage.Last week it was Vance McDonald drawing praise for his play with the Rice Owls.Congrats to both these kids.They both did it the right way.These days when we so many getting coverage for the wrong reasons this is refreshing.

Kountze has the answer to their problems already there.Make Duane the AD and give him a free reign with BOTH programs.He won't play politics and you'll be amazed how quick the kids will buy in.Pay the man what he's worth to the district or you're gonna lose him to someone that will.FYI questioning Tramain Thomas toughness is ludicrous.TopDawg you are usually right on but I think you're talking with your heart on that one.JMO

The residency rules are pretty cut and dried as far as the UIL goes.Kids who move can be required to set out for a calendar year but then the old coach has no control over them being released.The ones that don't move are the ones that are usually not given the opportunity to play.FYI kids who move repeatedly looking for a place to play usually find out why they aren't playing in the first place.

[/quote]Which one was winnable???This group of kids have 21 players dressing out and a large number of them are sophomores.Not sure where all the upper classmen are but they are bound to be a bunch that aren't playing.

In the grand scheme of things the final rankings are the ones that count but anything that helps motivate the kids is definitely worth the ink.

[quote name="LR2014" post="841888" timestamp="1283964378"] I don't know anything about Deweyville. I'm pullin for Warren to earn their first W of the season friday night. It is their Homecoming so they should be playing with a little extra somethin. Not that they havent been giving it their all. It's just been a rough start for this young team. They will turn it around. I have confidence in these boys and the coaches. Developing a winning attitude is easier said than done. These boys need all the encouragement that you can give them Warrior fans! [/quote]The winning attitude is the hardest part.This group is very young and will have to learn on the fly.The young coach will do a good job and will get them headed in the right direction. This is a good group of young men and they will develope in to a good club it's just going to take awhile and they are in a brutal district.Good luck Warriors.

I hate to pick against theWarriors 3 weeks in a row but I gotta agree with ya on this one.The new coach is gonna do a good job eventually but the program is gonna have to build up their numbers and that's gonna take awhile.A 2-a program is gonna struggle when they dress 21 players.

Great Pics. You gotta lens that would make the score closer  ;D ;D

We interupt our regular scheduled postings for this bulletin "OU SUCKS".

Why would you need a seperate stadium for a JV game????

HD may be talented but #32 for WH is a pretty good football player.

[/quote] And Evadales 45 came against Galveston Oconnell, comparing points scored against two weak opponents doesn't give you much insight as to how this game will be played.  Should be a good test for both teams. [/quote]You're right about that SteelerCzy.I haven't seen Deweyville this year.Evadale looks better to me this year than they have been in awhile thats why I picked the Rebels.

No disrespect to Deweyville but I think their 35 came against Sabine Pass.There is no comparison between SP and Evadale.I think the Rebs win this one by 2 TD's.

There will still be a very good club left out of the playoffs.Newton looks to be the favorite.I think EC takes the second spot then it will be a war.Anahuac,Buna and Woodville all are close.This district is gonna be fun to watch.

Yep,he looked pretty solid.

To say either club looked good in this one is a stretch.I didn't keep any stats but there had to be at least 10/12 turnovers combined.The thing that concerns me the most about Warren is their lack of depth.They dress 21 players which isn't going to let you compete as a pretty large 2-A school.WH did have a running back who looked pretty solid.

[quote name="utfan06" post="825866" timestamp="1281920690"] 1. Hardin 2. East Chambers 3. Buna/Warren/Kountze toss up [/quote]Don't overlook the Lady Warriors.They return some really good players off last years district championship club,

[quote name="hjhawks" post="825880" timestamp="1281923381"] you gotta give him a chance first...... ;) I know they had problems with applicants because of the teaching field that was coupled with the basketball job... [/quote]I'll certainly wish him the best.Maybe it was just a coincidence that the guy with the right teaching field is also going to coach the secondary.I know there were some really good applicants for this position but I honestly don't know what their teaching field was, I hope the kids get a chance to develope and maybe some of the older kids will come out.

Gotta feel for the young kids in the program.The program is made up entirely of Sophomores and Freshman who have some potential.When you're in a football district as tough as this one throwing your basketball program out with the dishwater isn't a real good idea.

1. Warren 2.Hardin 3.EC 4.Buna 5.Anahuac 6.Kountze 7.Deweyville

I don't think he's serious, if he is he knows less about the game than anyone I know.The HJ staff makes more on the fly game adjustments than any staff around.I went to Jasper for several years to watch ballgames and Coach Davis turned that program around over night.Don't hate on the coaches because they have good players and the last time I checked it didn't matter what side the tracks you came from when it came to playing the game.

I have no ax to grind with the select squads but they have to make up their mind which is more important to them and pursue that sport to their fullest.It isn't fair to the school kids that make the sacrifice during 2 a days only to be displaced by girls who were off playing a select summer sport.The best solution would be for the folks over the ASA and the UIL to work something out over the scheduling conflicts where the kids could play both and not have a scheduling issue. [/quote] Good post Whsalum. The problem I see with select is, It has becomes an individual sport Instead of a team sport. Parents only care what their kid does instead of what the "Team" does. When select ball started is was a good thing but not any more. High school sports are still the purest form of team competition. [/quote] You must never have had a kid be part of a real select team? The team is where a lot of strong personal friendships are formed. [/quote]Quite the contrary.My son made some of his best friends playing select ball, I also made some really good friends but that wasn't the topic.He also had very close friends on his school team.If there would have ever been a conflict his allegiance would have been to his school team as I'm sure all of his select buddies would have also.
