Maybe Wimberly should've offered better classes. -

It seems like the rest of the state is playing for 2nd place as well. -

Have you seen 'Welcome to Wrexham'? It's on HULU. I actually think it's pretty good. Anyway.. I didn't know this beforehand but in this setting, soccer teams actually move up "classifications" or down depending on the previous year's season results. The premise is that this particular football (soccer) club is trying to be promoted into the next leagues up. I like it. I said that to say this.. That's soccer European Soccer. This is Texas Football. Even if Carthage is clearly dominant in their classification, it's still their classification regardless. I understand what you're saying, though. -

Anyone surprised by the Albany/Mart outcome.. has obviously never spent any amount of time in Albany, Texas. -
Franklin has some impressive kids in the backfield. A two-back offense with a lot of toss sweeps out of a slot-t look. On their clips in MaxPreps they'll send the slot guy in motion away from the play. Honestly it doesn't look overly impressive. Having said that.. having your defense in the right place and tackling those backs are two different things. Best of luck, Anahuac. They're not 11-0 for no reason.

Bellville (27) vs West Orange-Stark (20) - FINAL
oldschool2 replied to jdawg03's topic in High School Football
This is more than once I’ve seen someone refer to “good losses”. They weren’t good losses.. they just weren’t bad losses. There’s a difference. You just said CT loved losing early to expose weakness. Whatever the reason.. I’d argue that it’s impossible to love losing. Maybe since he viewed them as serving a purpose, they weren’t bad losses. -

I’ll die on the hill that WOS didn’t have a burst of success until the classifications split into divisions. Before that it had been roughly a couple decades before y’all could get out of the region. It was.. blow through SeTx then buzzsaw about round 3/4 (Carthage or whoever). At fault of nobody. Still.. being the state power like those early years of 4A D2 just weren’t sustainable maybe. Perhaps other schools have caught up talent wise. Silsbee and Jasper have a lot of talent.. again.. the losses being complained about aren’t bad losses. The school picked the coach with the blessing of CT, right? Give him some time. -

I’m not even from the area.. but I enjoy high school sports. Coincidentally, I have numerous friends/family in the coaching profession. That’s part of the reason I sympathize for what they deal with.. such as being attacked after 1 season for several losses that weren’t really bad beats. A majority of SeTx would’ve loved to had the season WOS is complaining about. -

How does that make sense? HF, Silsbee, and Jasper were all within 4 of each other. And Bellville went undefeated in their district. Albeit a bit weaker.. they’re still winning. Which is all that some care about. -

Y’all just played a #1 within 7. In district, Silsbee and HF both won their playoff games big tonight. They’re pretty good. Not sure about why Jasper lost but they have lots of talent too. Quit whining. Good season. -
Done.

Lumberton Raider Fan Perspective
oldschool2 replied to RaiderFan4life's topic in High School Football
Lumberton has best football season in school history… fans question the coaching strategy. Yep. Sounds about right. -
Again.. did I say you were yelling? I specifically said, "it's a lot like yelling". I bet you were a fun student. As far as your point.. assume you're right. Do you actually think that Beaumont ISD can/will do what it would take to actually employ whatever coaches there are out there that meet your qualifications?
-
Yet you can't find a single comment I wrote where I specifically blamed the kids. By the way.. using exclamation points doesn't make you right. It's a lot like yelling.. it doesn't make the point any more valid. It makes you seem like a clown. Which may or may not be the case.
-
It's apparent that you're dense. Almost worth discontinuing the conversation. Almost. You still didn't answer my question.. Shocker..

First of all.. I wasn't talking about Beaumont specifically. I replied to, "A lot of people blame the coaches at each school, who is above the coaches???? If a NFL/College Team isn't doing well eventually the people above those coaches are held responsible too." That's a general statement. Not enough people blame who's above the coaches.. It's also true that not enough people blame who's below the coaches. But since you brought up the situation in Beaumont. They have the athletes to beat who? You mean on the team or in the school? I normally like to give coaches a little more credit than most do. Often times, a team isn't winning because of numerous factors outside of their actual ability to coach a team. Including lack of talent. Please answer this: Is Bill Belichick a great coach, or was he blessed with a great quarterback?
-
Not enough people blame who is below the coaches. Meaning... the players. Sometimes you just don't have any horses in the stable.

I have no doubt that the number of teenaged and up couples that tried on the whip cream bikini rose tenfold as a result of that movie.

Round 3 = Kryptonite

My comments had nothing to do with Anahuac personally. They are definitely good. My hesitancy is in regards to SeTx schools (smaller-ish) and how they normally fair against schools from outside of the area. It's not good.
