Not surprised at the decision. The crowd was constantly interrupting and almost every person who spoke at the meeting tonight was attacking the board. Some even made it a racial issue saying board members are preaching segregation and bringing racism into the district. Probably why it was a 6-0 vote.

Selling the naming rights makes the most sense IMO. I’m sure there are plenty of people in setx that would be willing to pay a pretty penny to get their name on that stadium. I’ve never heard of anyone complaining about having too much money, even if the district isn’t in dire need of it. 

Not a bad list. I really like Dillon Bryant from HJ. He will be key on both sides of the ball this season. 

I don’t expect much from HF this year

Which is why Im surprised they are happy with this pick when he's alot like Dubois. Nothing against Allen I hope he does well and Im happy for him just dont see whats different.

BC needs to stay with the slot t in my opinion. I don’t remember them having much success using the spread. I just hope Deshazo gets the support from the community and they don’t run him off.

I don’t expect Deshazo to make any huge changes in the offense or defense. I expect his coaching style to be a lot like his predecessor. 

I hope Deshazo gets it

This is anyone’s series. But I’m going with BC in 3 games

They need a lot of stuff now after Harvey.

LCM is the highest paid in 4a at 97k Matthews is the highest at 101k. He was making 84k at BC

 

Yeah I don’t think he took a 15-20k raise. HJ doesn’t have that kind of money right now. But I might be wrong. 

I know when Dubois was at HJ he had full support from the community and the players. Mostly everyone loved the guy. I can’t imagine him having problems with people at BC.

Bout15000-20000 more than BC was paying 

I was unaware. Wouldn’t that make him one of the highest paid in the area then? I don’t think it’s that much....

All about money 

Doubt money had anything to do with it

I hope he brings back the coaches that left to go to BC with him. That’s a solid staff.

Big move for HJ. This is going to be good for them.

when was the last time HJ hired a black football coach? just curious

and maybe i am wrong, but didnt duane joubert play college football and was a stud athlete at HJ (qb) back in the early 90's?

once again, i know he has done well with basketball but its my understanding that he is football guy 

Yeah he played at HJ back in the day. So if he did end up getting the job I think he would be at HJ for a while. Unlike the last 2. That’s one positive about him.

Have you followed Kountze football? In the 15 years I have lived here, I believe their only successful seasons have come under Joubert. Isn't HJ more of a basketball school? With that said, I do not think he will be there unless he wants to stop coaching basketball, they already have a basketball coach.

I didn’t know 10-29 since 2014 was successful. My mistake 

I’m not sure about Joubert. He seems like more of a basketball guy. His football record is less than impressive. 

I just hope they can hire someone good

I think you’re mad at the wrong people. Be mad at the old people in Sour Lake who don’t want to pay $14 more a year in taxes so we can have nice things.

• Can’t host track meets bc of the condition of the track

• Can’t host tennis tournaments because of the condition of the tennis courts

• Can’t play JV baseball games because there are no lights 

All of this would have been taken care of in the last bond that the District, that you’re so mad at, proposed. The people voted against it. Get out and campaign, and educate people on the bond and maybe next time this bond is proposed, people will actually vote for it. 

Nobody is picking on baseball ..

Hit the nail on the head 

They are having to rebuild the middle school from the rainy days in August and September.  The school board tried to get the lights when they tried to pass the bond. Not really much more they can do.

What a joke, let's take the lights out of the gym and see how long that last. If it was basketball in HJ they would have it done tomorrow with local donations.

Not sure why the Baseball Booster club can't go out and raise $200,000 in Sour Lake.

If the basketball program needed $200,000 I doubt they would get it. $200K is a lot of money. And the people who think that’s “pocket change” for the district are idiots. 

This is bad timing for the lights. A couple years ago they tried to make a push to get them with that bond. I can’t imagine how hard it’s going to be now after all that flooding. They won’t be spending money on lights any time soon.

Any word?
