    Some coaches "fall in love" with one kid while another one who might be as just good or even better gets little recognition. There are a lot of ways this can happen. A "legacy" kid with preferred last name, or a coaches/principals/school board/friends kid, or simply just a personality preference. I think this can be especially glaring in small school ball, but it can happen anywhere. College scouts don't care a bit about last names, etc. That, and they are just better talent evaluators overall than HS coaches and fans.

    Thank you, I appreciate that.
    What is probably ironic is that I am a football coach.
    I'm just in the minority when it comes to my approach to a lot of antiquated (IMO) ideas.

    Thats my point… in what world is a D1 prospect not starting somewhere in a 3A D1 team … doesn’t have to play QB

    It really makes a coaching staff look bad when you have a Kid of this caliber making waves at the p5 level and not get playing time at the varsity level,Especially in the lower classification of High school football.

    Woodville had multiple D1 guys last year and lost to Hitchcock. According to my friends D1 players are only Hype.

    When you are 3 rounds deep or deeper talent is fairly even. Then it is all coaching.

    If coaching is not as important as Larrys and Joes why pay the high salaries that are being paid All across the state. I agree Larrys and Joes are important but they can’t win State championships without high caliber coaches.

    You wonder why Woodville is not a disciplined team. It is a direct reflection of the coaching staff. Unsportsmanlike 15 yard penalty on the coach. It doesn’t matter what happens on the field a coach should never let his emotions get in the way of the team. I know Snake oil when I see it.

    I’m watching the same old reruns from the past 6 years. The Hype is the same every year. All of this to go 2 rounds in the playoffs. The Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and getting the same result. It is someone else’s turn to get excited for nothing.

    Franklin probably will score 50 or more, I hear WDV starters will only play a half. Resting everyone up to open a can of W. A. On Newton next week.

    Anahuac in my opinion has a better coach this year than last year Chase Franklin. Comes from a Baseball family. Cameron Edmonds. Probably will win every game he pitches. University of Houston signee with basically everyone returning from last season. They will be in the mix for the district championship.
