[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.

Great Pics!!

Got my first glimpse of the Warriors tonight and it wasn't pretty.Gonna have to find a way to give the QB some protection or it's gonna be a long season.The Oilers looked pretty good.Both clubs came out of this one injury free so that was a positive.

I just wish the basketball program hadn't been completely abandonded. [/quote] Warren is a young team but has a lot of varsity experience in Perfect, Gray, Murray, and Lambright.... Coach Kevin Barbay has done well by all the athletic programs in Warren, baseball made the playoffs, tennis did really well and BASKETBALL won more district games last year than they had in a long time. Coach Barbay is a football guy by all means but he HAS NOT abandoned ANY program at Warren, he is a big help at turning the Warriors around. [/quote]I know the kids well that you mentioned and they did get some valuable experience last year and will be much improved this year.They are some pretty talented guys in the junior class.I think the baseball club will be in the hunt for a district title this coming season.The tennis team at Warren has been pretty good at Warren for several years with teams in the state tournament as recently as 2 years ago.I think Coach Barbay will do a great job as AD but you may want to do a little research on the basketball program.I believe they were 1-11 in district last year.They are coached by the defensive secondary coach and I didn't see them playing anywhere this summer.Maybe abandoned the program is the wrong wording but I haven't seen any emphasis on the basketball program.

May not be a good sign for the Rebels.Warren is still pretty young across the board.The young coach seems to have the FOOTBALL program heading in the right direction but there are some really solid clubs in that district. I just wish the basketball program hadn't been completely abandonded.

The key is to be ACTIVE in the zone.A ton of the most successful high school programs play a lot of zone with traps at the 3/4 and 1/2 court intervals.If it's played corrrectly you aren't hiding in a zone, just the opposite.

Ceveland lost a ton of talent last year.I don't see how they could even be close to what they were.

CATMAN, That wasn't a slap at Coach Issacs at all.I think he is fine young coach and I know a ton of the parents at Spurger thought the world of him as did the players.I don't claim to know any of these youngs guys personal decisions but I like to see them move up the head coaching ranks once they get that first shot.He did a good job at Spurger and hope he does well at Big Sandy in the future.

I hate to see that, this is a good young coach.He has a lot to learn but was really good with the kids and is on his way to making a top notch coach.

Lots of GOOD jobs coming open !!!!

New Wavely will miss him, he ALWAYS had his team ready to play.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1025800" timestamp="1310996046"] Joubert to Silsbee? More money and more talent! [/quote]I don't think the wage scale difference would be huge in 2 districts 10 miles apart and the cupboards haven't been exactly bare in Kountze.I hope Duane gets whichever job he wants BUT the Kountze basketball job is about as good as it gets in small school hoops. ;)

I've been doing a little research on the Frontier and have a friend that has a new 22 footer.It is built by Mr. Kenner and has a great ride and is built to fish.Biggest trouble I have had is finding folks that have them.

Gotta be a school district boundary line somewhere south of Beaumont regardless of what their mailing address is. ::) ::)

[quote name="stevenash" post="1025556" timestamp="1310918543"] translation- Joubert [/quote]Duane would do good job. I don't claim to know anything about the salary but the job would be almost a lateral move.Both are well established programs with perennial deep playoff runs.

Coach Bartlett always does a good job and Huntington looks to be on the upswing from what I've seen the last year or so .Hard to get a program on a top notch level when the head coaches seat opens up every few years.

Then they should play in Beaumont  ;D

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1025540" timestamp="1310917170"] A local prominent coach is having a meeting tomorrow (Monday) with Silsbee admins. ;) [/quote]There are a lot of local prominent coaches in this area  ;D

Surely you can't just choose where you want to play these day, can you  ??? ??? ::) ;D

Been some awful good basketball coaches come thru Huntington over the past several seasons.They need to work as hard on keeping them as they do on getting them, JMO.
