Just an old Coach

Pleasant Grove, likely to win State in 4a-D2, runs the Wing T and they threw for 2000 yards last year.  Just because you are a run based offense doesn’t mean you can’t throw it.

Congratulations to the EC boys track team for winning the region 3 team championship today in Waco. EC also won the region in basketball this year and made it to the regional finals in football. Great job Bucs!

Canadian I believe has won 3 in a year.  Muenster might have also.  Football, Basketball, and Baseball.

The game would be moved if EC was still in football.  It happens all the time with the small schools.  With big schools that have basketball only athletes, they would still play the game. 

My nephew from Lumberton scored a TD in the game.  His name is Blaine LeBlanc.  Keep an eye on him, he’s going to turn some heads.

Raidergirl my nephew is on that team I believe.  His name is Blaine LeBlanc.  I coach up in NETX and my sister keeps my updated.  Said he scored twice tonight.  He just moved there from West Brook.

Its easy, Willie Ray Smith Memorial Stadium.  Name it after someone that is a true icon for Beaumont.

I guess time will tell.
But let's take this 1 by 1:
1.  "Scurry Ross doesn't even list him as a HC"
First of all, the school is Scurry-Rosser, not "Scurry Ross."  Perhaps that would help you in your research (if you actually ever looked at anything aside from Max Pres) and you probably would have found this:

2.  "In WOS 2 play offs in 4 years where almost everybody goes, then winning only one round in 4 years doesn't set anyone on their heals."
Compared to whom, Ronnie Anderson?  Perhaps aside from his legendary tenure and that of the recently departed Shea Landry, 2 playoffs in 4 years was a vast improvement over anything WO-S had been doing in baseball.  In both of those years, WO-S was the runner up, not the 4th place team as you implied, for if they would have been the 4th place team, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE MADE THE PLAYOFFS.  With your limited research skills, you may not have noticed that 4A (then 3A) did not take 4 teams to the playoffs until 2014, 9 years after Coach Westbrook's first stint at WO-S.  So you fail on this one not only for lack of research skills but lack of basic high school sports history which brings me to:
3.  "First, I would never lower the standards of winning in Jasper baseball set by Mike Rodgers and Shawn Mixon to those of WOS."
Now, I won't even try to slander Coach Rodgers or Coach Mixon and saying anything remotely about them would be just that.  In fact, if Cornel Thompson were to be able to throw a Hail Mary and pry Mixon out of that softball dugout in Woodville to fill the vacant baseball dugout in West Orange, I for one would not be disappointed.  But here is a newsflash, Coach Mixon is actually happy in Woodville and the chances of that happening are about the same as the chance of the homecoming that you are so craving for that will never happen. 
However, please don't try to make the Bulldogs appear to be a Lakes area version of Bellaire....the facts belie that:
This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up And if you remember correctly, the last team from SETX to be in the dugout for a Class 3A/4A state championship game wore "Mustangs" across their chest, not "Bulldogs."  And by coincidence one of those that wore that uniform was Stephen Westbrook.  A fact that you should recognize as Darrell Barbay, a guy who comes from a family who knows a bit about winning and has done a fair share of his own at Jasper High, did.  So please spare me the "Jasper standards are higher than everyone else" crap.  That is pretty much an insult to all of the other programs in the area, including about 20 guys on Merriman St. in Port Neches who currently have gold medals around their neck and a nice big trophy with gold plating to add to the trophy case. Now, sweetheart.  I know I am not going to sway you from your opinion as your hatred (and yes, that is the correct characterization) seems to run much deeper than his record.  I don't know if you are the parent of a little Johnny who didn't get to play the position he wanted or didn't get as many at bats as he thought he should have.  Or if you are related to someone at Jasper ISD that you think got a raw deal.
But you want to try and dismiss my laying out of the facts as BS?  You better bring a lunch 'cause ask around, I pretty good at this research stuff.

The Harmony Tournament is pretty good.  On Woodville's side, Anna will be pretty salty.  It will probably be Harmony and Woodville to see who wins the tournament.  As far as History goes, Harmony's baseball history is just as good as Woodville's.  We have had several State Tourney appearances and 1 State Title.  We are pretty good again this year, with several quality arms.  As far as seeing 90+, those high school arms are far and few between.  It is hard to get prepared to see 90+ unless you can see it on a regular basis.

The UIL does not set the punishment anyway.  I don't care who you are, how good you are, but you pull some crap like that in a game, you should be done.  I have been a head coach before and if he was on my team and did that, he would have to move to play ball again.  There is no room for that in sports.  Just play the game,and let the scoreboard do the talking. 

The kid messed up along with the others involved but the barbaric nature of his blow is what has people so stirred up. Accept the punishment and in my eyes your slate is clean. I was disgusted with what Michael Vick had done with the dog fighting, but the man stepped up took his lumps and to this day I remain a fan not only of the athlete but of the man he became. 
 

In my opinion this is a mistake and I fail to see how it will help this situation. If nothing is done those attending rally will be angry, if punishment is changed it undermines the system in a whole. The only thing this rally will accomplish is more divide among the area.

Sorry Gata, we got to end it for them!!  Harmony had over 500 yards of offense and was smothering on defense.

I have read ozensfinest keep saying that a long playoff run is better for the school and coaches and not the players, that is false.  If a kid is tearing it up in the 4th round of the playoffs then it is definitely better for the kid.  By the 3rd round of the playoffs, the weaker teams are usually out and only contenders are left.  Any college coach worth his grain in salt will notice a kid playing lights out in round 4 of the Texas High School Football Playoffs regardless of class size.  I would take getting to round 4 of the 4A playoffs over round 1 or not getting in the 5A playoffs.
