whsalum

I was watching the game on TV and happened to hear that Sam Houston didn't have any recruits that came from the local clubs while Lamar was continously calling players name from Lumberton,Kelly, WB etc.This is not a knock on local clubs but it is impossible to build a successful college program when you recruit that heavily locally.

Some good arms in Warren for the upcoming season.

[/quote]They should be able to compete with Hardin but the other 2 games are Newton and EC :(

EC at home is a TOUGH out.They win this one by 7.

Anything you can do to improve conditioning will help prepare you for the season.CC isn't the end all but it definiely is a start.

I'm not a foobal guru and I know the tradition in Newton/EC and elsewhere can't be questioned but you have to look to start with strength and conditioning to build a football program.Numbers wise Warren isn't the smallest school in the district yet in numbers and size of their players they have been  smaller than every opponent they have played this season.I have seen other programs turned around in Warren by the players and community buying in to a new coaches system.While I don't look for the Warriors to challenge for a playoff spot anytime soon I think given time this young coach will have them respectable in football.And in all honesty that will be an accomplishment.

[quote name="Wreckem2011" post="1071589" timestamp="1317523599"] Hillister, It seems like you have asked this type of question before. You obviously are a person that wants to stir things up for your coach, and I don't understand why. If you don't like the direction the program is going, then get a teaching certificate, pay your dues as a coach, and then try to become the Head Coach at Warren. Give the guy some time. The program is not going to turn around over night. Looking at the score, it wasn't the coaching that was the problem. In my opinion, a coach's job is more than simple wins and losses. The Coach needs to be a person that instills discipline on the students, is a good role model for the students, and teaches the sport of football as a game of life. [/quote]I agree wreckem.I believe the coach has a good scheme, he's just going to have to get his kids in the weight room and bulk them up a little on both the o=line and the d-line.I am curious about the young man that has had the ejections.I'm not close to the program but I know he will have to address that if it's gonna get turned around.

If that's his 2nd ejection 5 games into the season he may need to look for another sport.Regardless of the sport, to turn a program around it ALL starts with discipline.

It usually takes 2 to fight.What went on here? I saw a player ejected in Warrens first game and I hope this wasn't the same one.

Newton had every chance to beat Silsbee is who is solid so they definitely aren't overated, EC is just solid as always.The kids at EC don't get enough credit.They just keep winning year after year.

Injuries will tell the tale here but I don't see but a 4 team race.EC/Newton/Anahuac/Buna=the team that stays healthy wins it.

I agree with ya bruno, Coach Barbay is doing a good job.The Warriors just need to get the numbers up and buy in to what it takes in the off season.I think they suited up 26 players in the first game of the season.The guys they have on the field give it all they have which is all you can ask of them.

Sheer numbers and size put Warren at a disadvantage.I'm not sure what the answer is to get more kids in to the program and in to the weight room in the off season but until that question gets answered the Warriors are gonna struggle.This district has some solid clubs but it has about 3 or 4 different levels of competition.Newton/Anahuac/Buna /EC then Hardin/Woodville followed by Kountze/Warren.There will be 1 pretty solid team on the outside looking at the playoffs.Woodville wins this game by about 3 touchdowns.

There are a ton of great coaches that don't have any state titles.

Things only get tougher from here on out for the Warriors  :(

Games at Dewyville and I really wish I could pick this one with my heart instead of my head but D-Ville probably wins at home in a close one.I'll say 20-12 but I 'm still yelling for the Warriors.

Sunflower seeds are the baseball fave !!!!!

[quote name="basketball25" post="1049190" timestamp="1315146949"] Yes, he was a good hs rb but playing at the d1 level is a totally different level and the speed of the game is way different!!! Hussey was to slow to play at this level, great kid and great hs back but at this level speed kills and that was his downfall!!!! I hope he gets his degree and comes a great hs coach somewhere!! [/quote]In D1 college sports you just have to see the speed and size of the game to believe it and thats in ALL the sports not just football.

Football is the one sport where the bigger, faster, stronger teams have a huge advantage every time out.The youth programs can get kids interested but thats about the extent of it.I'm not an advocate of lifting weights on game days in other sports but the teams that really work on their strenghth and size are the ones who are traitionally better on friday nights.

Tough loss and unfortunately the schedule gets brutal pretty quick.

I don't think you can place any blame on Coach Barbay, he's is starting from scratch trying to build a program in an extremely tough district.There isn't a lot of history in the Warren football program an it won't be turned around over night.I wouldn't get overly excited about a youth program, the program will be built up in the off season if it is turned around.
