McClure turned lumberton basketball around. You give any 4A school a D1 player with competent role players around him and they'll do at least what Lumberton did over the past 3 years. He's gone, and lumberton has dropped back off. 15-12, 3-6 in district, and haven't really beaten a good team all year, unless you want to count squeaking by a couple of good 3A and 2A teams. Mitchell was on here hiding behind a screen name criticizing other coaches and talking about how great he is. It's starting to look like he overestimated his ability by a pretty wide margin.

Leaked documents show the Biden administration was still discussing basic plans for mass civilian evacuation hours before the Taliban took Kabul (msn.com)

After all of the talk about how great their coach is (including from him himself), there just always seems to be some reason when they lose apart from being the lesser team.

Barbers Hill won 72-48

Crosby won 83-33

Hawks won 94-28

What’s the excuse this time?

yup, I am.

If I make a post that says "Don't try to make me out to be stupid for this, but..." and then say something stupid, you can call me whatever you want, it's not you who's making me look stupid. You've accused me of trying to make you look bad, but obviously you said "don't try to make me out to be a bad person for this" because you knew what you were saying was questionable. To me your previous quote in the thread about giving the gun back to him with notches in the stock made you look a lot worse, but wanting to celebrate this event by suggesting someone display the gun as a trophy is in poor taste as well.

i'm not attempting to make you look bad, you're making yourself look bad. it doesn't mean you ARE bad, but my opinion of your comments doesn't have any bearing on how they make you look. the comments themselves are what does it.

not at all. you said "don't try to make me out to be a bad person". I'm not trying to make you out to be a bad person, but statements like "he should get his gun back with two notches cut in the butt" and that you'd like to have the gun as a trophy don't make you look good. those statements don't have anything to do with me at all.

Pretty wild stuff. I need to talk to my buddy and see if he had to respond to that one.

I'm not making you out to be anything, but it's not a good look for you.

He's had offers. I think this is a public display that he's not going to profit off of the gun.

Both the left and the right are using this to try and make political statements. The left wants to appear that the court is ordering this done as some sort of justification that Rittenhouse did something wrong, and the right is trying to make it out that his property is being unjustly destroyed against his will. The fact of the matter is that he doesn't want the gun to be bought and sold like a trophy. It's obvious that this would happen, and there are at least two comments in this thread stating as much. In a way this IS a stunt, as I'm sure there are people in Rittenhouse's ear telling him that it would look best if he went ahead and had the gun destroyed.

Hawks kinda coasted through most of the second half, and Huffman made a few big shots to cut the gap a little. Much better effort from HH this game, but HJ won a little easier than the score will suggest.

Hawks turned it up there, and got hot from deep. Realized these refs are really big fans of questionable offensive fouls and drew a few.

They look a lot better tonight. Hawks a little off. HH doing a good job of breaking the press so far.

you're still the only football poster on this site who's delusional enough to think that football success should be measured by state championships at PNG. your explanation of "good and bad" is inherently bad.

Were more dropping out and getting killed and sleeping on floors while he coached than the guy before who went 5-5? Are there not other schools with the same demographic in their district that he could’ve found a way to outcoach? And Sean Payton wouldn’t make PNG “state champ lucky” next year.

If you're not him, you're his mom or best friend. And you can't NOT take into account someone's record as a head coach. I'm willing to take into consideration that a program might need turning around, and that a coach might need a season or two to implement his program and see notable progress. But when a coach takes over a 5-5 team, goes 4-6 the next year, and then in years 3,4,5 combines to go 1-29, you better believe I'm taking that into consideration. All this "heroic" nonsense is laughable. He only coached at Eastwood for one season. if helping out those less fortunate kids was the goal, you'd think he would've stuck around for awhile. You can't really take credit for working in the squalid conditions (under-privileged, no weight room!) when you dip after one season. I'm not really at all sure what's heroic about taking over a 5-5 rayburn team. The guy who replaced him and took over his 28 or 29 game losing streak the next year and won two games seems more "heroic" to me.

didn't you hear? Coach Satcher CHOSE to go lose at those programs because he wanted to help out the underprivileged. PNG has nothing to worry about if they hire him.

Interesting concept, but you're not taking into account the cost of all of the staff needed for the game, the cost of electricity to run the lights, the cost of all of the equipment for the players, maintenance on the field and stadium, the cost of trainers, etc. etc. etc., not to mention the cost of gas to run the players around in busses, the payment to all of the coaches who wouldn't even be there without football, and many more expenses. High school football isn't making any money for the overwhelming majority of schools in Texas, it's costing them money. Each student that shows up to class is drawing ADA money from the state. while a teacher may not "make money for the school", they actually do the work that schools are designed for.

For "not being him" you sure have all the deets about him. Unfortunately his coaching record is going to be a nonstarter for a program that's used to winning records and going to the playoffs. Well, maybe not. They just ran off a guy who does that. Maybe they're looking for a guy with a heart of gold and connections to the program from way back. If so, you, i mean he, might be the man!

I'm fairly confident this man has considerably more basketball and coaching experience than you. Then again, he may not be who I think he is (but I'm fairly sure it's who I think it is).
