[quote name="rambleonus" post="757344" timestamp="1265725719"] Now that i think about it I have to agree New Caney should dominate coming from a 5A and all that. KPark has been pretty lucky the last couple of years. How did New Caney do the last time they were in 4A 2 years ago? [/quote] New Caney was a playoff team many times while in 4A. I believe they won the district the last year they were in 4A. I think that was the year PJ Dean was a senior.

I do not believe any of the kids that were on New Caneys varsity last year or this year will leave to go to Porter. This years team should be loaded with a really good junior class who have been in one of the top 5A baseball districts in the state. Lufkin, College Park, and The Woodlands. Believe Lufkin and College Park played each other in the regional final last year. These kids played competively for the most part with alot of sophmores last year. I believe they will dominate 18 4A next year. 

Guess I should maybe re-phrase, I don't see them being a power house in the next couple of years. More than one thing hurting them. They do not play any real stiff competetion in pre-district or district. They will most likely go through the regular season at 10-0 or 9-1. By the area round they will face someone who has been battle tested. I also think the split has really taken away alot of their athletes. They will some above average starters but they will not have as much depth as you have seen at Humble in years past. Any idea why didn't they schedule Kingwood in a pre-district game? I think Huntsville wins the district next year. I don't know all of their predistrict schedule but believe they play Brenham.

It has happened before. Check out Kingwoods first year playing varsity. They lost to New Caney 41-0. Smalls was not the best athlete his senior year. Two other players from that class played some college ball but he did not. Michael Miller and Jacob Powell. No doubt Smalls was a surprise as he wasn't even considered a starter to begin the year. The Dunlaps would not be considered the best athletes of their class either. I do agree that next year Humble and Huntsville will start the season as the teams to beat in this district, but Humble is not what it once was either. [/quote] I meant now...Not in the early 80's.    New Caney hasn't always been so depleted athletically, but the growth of Kingwood really has hurt them.  Smalls was a solid athlete, which to me was under used...I would of used him as a HS DE not a running back/ Linebacker... From what i understand he played a season at Texas State, but im not positive.   and the Dunlaps weren't the best athletes in their class...Who was? as far as Humble not being what it once was, ill agree....We were split...Just like Humble wasn't the same Humble after Kingwood....We changed.   I believe that this Humble (the one that will no longer be split) will be a better one then in previous years...i believe that Humble will take a course very similar to North Shore and Westfield over the course of the next 10-15 years.  We are no longer considered rural, but Urban.....and if we can approach our programs like those two have (NS in 96 and Westfield in 02)...we will have stronger teams then we did in the 90's and early 2000's. We have an opportunity to build our tradition on equal footing before we get moved back up to 5a...a chance to play on a level playing field instead of playing programs that have 300+ kids and have had a student enrollment of 3400 for 10 years now... Humble is in a unique place in its history, we get a shot to rebuild ourselves.....and not start from behind. After we split with Kingwood it took us 10 years to recover because we moved to the new class 5a...we would of been better off staying at 4a...but it didn't happen that way.   with the move down, we will be able to avoid the growing pains to a large degree and stay competitive...which is all i ask. [/quote] I agree Smalls would have been a good DE. As for the Dunlaps, if memory serves me I believe he graduated in the same class as Andrew Riddick. Andrew was a gifted athlete, just had a little too much attitude. Believe he was still playing college baseball last year. The younger Dunlap did not like to get hit, that is why he rarely ran the ball on offense, and he fumbled too much on kick returns. Humble will definetely be competetive in 4A. I just don't see them being a power house. You also didn't give the New Caney Oline any love. They had a couple of all district Olinemen this past year in a district with The Woodlands and Lufkin. Jacob Powell was at Texas State for at least 1 year, I don't remember Smalls going there but he could have.

          D. Towers was great for yall, but he was a former Atascocita Eagle.  Chad Jackson never developed into anything, he was slow and had poor vision.   The Dunlaps were pretty good...The younger one isn't as good as the older one, but a pretty solid talent. Buddy Rios was an ok athlete... I remember Chis Smalls at LB, he was beast of an athlete...but that wasn't enough to help yall win that game with nederland.   Those are the kids that stuck out to me...and Smalls is probably the only one that i would consider Divison 1. Overall New Caney biggest problem has been the offensive line, to me they always look extremely overweight.

'83 [/quote] Did this kid play at New Caney and then move to Ned ? Jamie, I think is the first name. [/quote] Hey Eagle07, Yes this is the same Weaver from New Caney. You are correct it is Jaime. He had a sweet left handed shot. I used to school him in one on one. He was only a sophmore though when I played with him. His dad left New Caney to coach at Nederland for Jaime's senior year. Coach Weaver was a heck of a coach in my opinion. If anyone over there has a contact for either Jaime or his dad please PM me. Would love to get in contact with them.

Looks like coach Moore will be bringing the D coordiator from Texas High with him to be his new DC at Porter high.

Congrats to all. Especially Two Willis from Manvel a former New Caney Eagle.

NCHS & PHS Head Football Coaches Announced The New Caney ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved Tuesday night hiring Tim Hensley as Head Football Coach/Coordinator of High School Campus Athletics at New Caney High School and Reno Moore as Head Football Coach/Coordinator of High School Campus Athletics at Porter High School, which is due to open Fall 2010. 90 people applied for the positions. A committee interviewed 17 applicants the week of December 7.

[quote name="Go-rilla" post="731274" timestamp="1260970294"] Will both NC skewls be 4A?? What are their numbers? [/quote] Yes both will be 4A. Porter 1407 New Caney 1525 or something close to that.

[quote name="Bucof2010" post="730809" timestamp="1260900036"] Anybody know how Livingston is? [/quote] I watched them play New Caney. New Caney beat them by 20 or so. They have a couple of good ball players but are not very deep. Guess they had one kid around 6'4. He tries to block every shot. Any pump fake and he is off the floor.

Congrats to the Jasper and Huffman kids.

Have not seen the Raiders yet, but I'll give the Raiders the nod.

I went and watched the LT game today. They are extremely good. I know, their record indicates that, but I was really impressed. What a well coached and disciplined team. Dawson tried to be scrappy at first but they were not in the same league with LT.

[quote name="str8running" post="728204" timestamp="1260556685"] What's the background on these guys? Aren't they working on 2 jobs over there? [/quote] I believe Maple has been the OC at Kingwood. He's already in the area. I think Wright will get the Porter job.

[quote name="jamesdean" post="728195" timestamp="1260555826"] HC from Marshall Todd Wright Reno Moore Clayton Maple [/quote] I believe it will be either Moore or Maple. Maple may have the inside track.

I believe Todd Wright will get the Porter job. Haven't heard much about who has applied for the New Caney opening.

Gilmer 42 Cuero 36 Heck of a game...Cuero had a first and goal with just over a minute left but couldn't score.

Splendora have canceled all after school events for today and tomorrow. New Caney has canceled all after school events for today.

The Houston ISD just cancelled all extracurricular activities for the day including sporting events.

Final score Stoney point 38 The Woodlands 24

I work ait the airport about 10 minutes from Thorne stadium. Not raining now and hasn't been raining for the last hour or so.

[quote name="Jcmeek83" post="713113" timestamp="1258743609"] I want to see Kville and Newton both in the state finals. but its hard to say Newton will beat Dangerfield. In my own personal opion I don't think anyone from 4a down in this area could beat Dangerfield right now. Don't get me wrong Newton has a chance but it's a slim one. [/quote] Wow!!!! from 4A down????? While they are no doubt a very good 2A I do not believe they could beat Dayton, PNG, or quite a few others.

[quote name="Gametime23" post="712464" timestamp="1258675218"] No , I was told some districts had 4 teams go and some 3 from a fellow coach of mine. The ISD thing oh yes I know how it works bc I am a coach/teacher. I know the amount of money needed to support a school and things of that nature. I went to Hu,ble and know the size of it and how much money it will cost to support it. With the age of the school you have to think of the upkeep needed for the buildings and that cost. Do you realize the school recieves $10,000 for each student and that's how they budget there year. [/quote] Gametime, your fellow coach doesn't know what he is talking about. 4A and 5A have 4 teams make the playoffs.

[quote name="bulldawg64" post="711711" timestamp="1258587926"] this is the stadium wos-new caney played in a few years back i went to. we had to go through  a metal detector and put all your change in a bowl.wonder how long that will take with the rain and the fan base? [/quote] Bulldog, That wasn't just a few years back.....That was like 1995 when Adam Dunn was a sophmore.
