Wow you do not see a coach removed 3 games into a season very often. Will this go down as the worst football coach tenure in Buna history? I feel bad for those kids, maybe this will be a rallying cry for them to come together and salvage the season. 

It’s definitely not a good one following behind how loved Bradley Morgan was in the community.

I watched the game as well. Mustangs looked fine defensively but the offense needs work.

I think so, but it resulted in a 3 team tournament scenario with Buna skunking EC & Kountze in back to back days. 

Buna didn’t play EC. Just Kountze. Buna won the coin toss so didn’t have to play the first game. 

Congrats to Coach Wilson. Not very often you get to replace a good coach with another good coach. Great hire for the Cougs and I would imagine that he will keep them in the race for first as long as he’s walking the sidelines there.

He will win a state championship somewhere. Give him some time.

I don't know if TAPPS or Orange Community Christian is the model that should be followed...

Maybe not for some things but this allowed the All District and All State teams not to be watered down.

The way that it SHOULD be done is that there are 5 on 1st Team and 5 on 2nd Team.. and your MVP, Off MVP, Def MVP, and Newcomer come from those 10 that are all district.  That's how college and profession teams do it.. because a basketball team (that is on the floor) is 5 players.  If coaches insist on having more than 10 then there needs to be a 3rd Team All District.. or load up the honorable mentions..

All of this 9 on 1st Team and 11 on 2nd Team and co-this and co-that is literally the epitome of "everyone gets a trophy".   It's disgusting to me... just give everyone something and admit that you're scared of your parents.

Whenever I was in school, I played for a TAPPS school, the District coaches got together and ranked the players in district 1-5 and that was first team and same for the second team. It was pretty simple and easy concept that I don’t understand why it’s not universally adopted. My junior year we had 4 out 5 of the 1st teamers. Sometimes that’s just how it is. 

Mike Zeno played for New Orleans a few years back.

This will be a big summer for All of United players.. Several will be on the Eybl circuit and some will be on the adidas/UnderArmor circuit. It’s a really big deal for them to play and get better. 

United top 3 will all be on the EYBL from what I know. But only one is playing 17u. I except Yates to be top 20 in the country after July.

Some folks have known but I will make it public. My time as a full time administrator/broadcaster is up. I told my wife of 33 years that when she retired from teaching that I would retire with her to the beach. She retired last May and I told her I would finish out the football and basketball seasons of this year then I would join her. (would have joined her in May but needed to stay on after the passing of our beloved admin WOSGrad). I am so ready to be a beach bum.

I have enjoyed these past 17 years here on the site. I have seen it grow from just a little message board to now be considered a valuable media outlet. It truly has been a labor of love.

First of all, I want to thank Jordan Wilson, the owner of this site, by inviting me on as a staff member and eventually an administrator. He trusted me with the help of running this site and allowed me to "do my thang" and start my broadcast career. It has truly been a blessing. Thanks

I want to thank Todd Broussard (WOSGrad) who is looking down on us from heaven. He has been my partner in crime for all these years and is the reason this site is what it is today. He was the man!! I dearly miss my old friend and I hope that he is up there saying "job well done my friend". Thanks Todd for everything you did for me and this site.

I want to thank all the staff members here. Particularly Lucas, Mack, Robert, Terry, Matthew and all of the other staff. You have helped make this the place to be as for Southeast Texas sports.  Thanks for all the support over the years.

Thanks to all the coaches that I have come to know and work with all these years. Thank you for your support and cooperation and your acceptance of me and SETXsports. I am truly grateful.

Thanks to all the members here who really are what makes this site so great. I have become friends with several here and I cherish all the times we have spent on and off this site. God Bless all of you.

I wish all and this site the very best. I will still be around some but it will be mostly from my chair on the beach with my toes in the sand holding a cold one.

Thanks again to everyone and May God Bless.

Mike as you end your career, a young guy like me is starting my own. I hope one day to have the same admiration and respect of my peers that you do. Hope you enjoy your retirement and can’t wait to see your posts on here from time to time!

Fair enough, well played. Just curious, how much other talent did Atlanta have? Any other players that played D1 in his 4 years? Any other players even play at the next level?  I genuinely don’t know, just asking. HJ does, at least 3 or so since Jackson has been there. 

TBH idk, just answered a question you posted. Don’t have a clue about the rest.

I’m curious to know the last time a small school had a McDonalds All American in Texas that never won State, boys or girls. Hard to believe. 

Don’t have to go back far. Damion Collins from Atlanta last year.

Arceneaux would’ve been at Central.  Yates too.  Porcia and Dotson would’ve been at Ozen.  I believe Payia too.

Arceneaux, Yates, Payia would’ve been Central. If there was still 3 schools Porcia would’ve went to West Brook.

Weren’t some people on here calling for the coach’s job earlier this year? Did he make some changes or did his decisions end up being the right ones anyway?

If anyone from Buna wants him gone consider it a very very very small group. Whitmire will be there until he wants to move or retires and deservedly so. Not only is he one of the best players to walk through Buna High he is one of the best coaches behind the great Cotton Robinson to walk the sidelines as well. I’ve always been a huge Whitmire supporter and this year has been a testament to how good of a coach he truly is. 

Go Cougars!!

This is so so wrong of the West Orange community. Did we want Toby? I was the first person on this thread to suggest it. Yes, I think that was the majority’s pick but to show up and act a fool and disrespect Coach Hickman in front of his family is ridiculous. We can and should be better. 

WO-S will rue the day if they don’t hire Toby for this job. This isn’t something that should be thought long and hard about. For years in Orange county we have wanted our student athletes to get to the next level is with the help of their athletic directors and Toby, and now Peevy at LCM, provide two people who do this at a high level. The community wants and needs Toby. I hope that the school board feels the same.

I don’t think Foreman will even want the job after they passed on him when Hooks retired.  He’s now coaching 6a in Killeen and apparently they’re treating him very good over there.  Not many coaches would leave a 6a job for a 4a gig…

you’re not from Orange, it’s very much in the talk amongst the town. 

Community loves Toby, and he does so much for the kids he coaches. Hope he gets the job.

So what was it like 22 pt lead when we pulled all the starters off the floor.

30 point loss

Hope you are right this year because, Nederland has not been "real" since the Forney thru Weisbrod years. Last several years typical season is, rack up mostly soft pre-district schedule wins vs. lower classification teams, finish 3rd in district, then 1st rd loss in playoffs. Although I give the dogs credit for splitting district games 2 years ago with P.A. to be co-district champs. What is playoff record last 8 years? 1-7..... 

1-7 the last 7 years. If you date back 8 years and include Weisbrods senior season it’s 4-8. 

47-42 BU Final

Finding a new favorite for the region.

Ok. Just remember you heard it here first. Hightower will win the region again. United will be favored, but Hightower has the only pro on the floor.

Ehhh that’s debatable, Arceneaux will likely be a top 75 player in the country after this summer and to say Wesley Yates could be also wouldn’t be a stretch. Both are on paths to be able to at minimum have a chance to play professional basketball at some degree.
