Where do I apply? No salary necessary.

Must've missed a PAT.

Yep ^^

What a shocker. Wonder who the next 2-year coach will be. #RevolvingDoor

Blowout games don’t help anyone unless you want to rest your starters. If that’s the case just have a light practice and save time and money. EC hasn’t had a close game in a while..they’re gonna wish they’d played one to remember how to win a close one.

Makes zero sense to play a team in a lower class that didn’t even win their district. Meanwhile.. I saw that Kountze is getting drilled by Jasper. Probably would’ve been a couple competitive games if EC/Jasper and Ktze/Broaddus. If we’re really looking for a true warmup/preparation game that is.

Northshore, Westbrook, LaPorte (lately but not next year), Deer Park...I think it's a step down. Nobody is saying it's a guarantee of success. But getting to play schools with a lot less of a pool to draw from will benefit any school. Especially in football.

Is there any school in the state that wouldn’t benefit from moving down a classification?

There is a big difference in the classes in high school football/baseball. Not as much in basketball but a good football team in their class will likely get beat pretty badly by a good football team in the next class up. Happens more often than not.

I thought it would happen this last year but I think Liberty's running out of steam. Gut feeling. I think Silsbee wins that one.

Sometimes we make Texas toast when we grill steaks. It's pretty good.

I'm no longer surprised...nor do I care what California does. As far as I'm concerned they don't represent the rest of the country in any way. The Cali conservatives need to get out of there before it's too late.

I thought that's what you meant I just wanted to double check. But yes I'll put trust in the college football programs that they've gotten an offer from that they were chosen, for a reason, out of the kids in the area.

ALL of those kids?.. I'm talking starters. Or are you referring to the kids at Newton with D1 offers? Because that's easy to compare. Yes if they have a D1 offer and no other kid at their position does then they would start over them. But if you're talking about the other kids at Newton that just happen to be starters then we'll definitely have to agree to disagree.

It seems as though people are overlooking the fact that most of the schools in the area don't win just a whole lot (that would play this game to start with). Why would they play Newton or WOS when the coach is just trying to get some wins..or at least play a halfway competitive game that they might be able to learn from. I can understand why Newton and WOS have trouble filling games every now and then...I also understand why they wouldn't want to play each other every once in a while. It's a difference of 2 classifications and that normally isn't a very normal thing in HS football/baseball. When they're both really good (and let's be honest...coaches know when their team is better/worse than normal) then I would think they both wanna play up in class/competition. When Newton is really good they should want to play up...same thing with WOS. I don't know..none of this really matters anyway. How the coach tries to make a schedule has a rhyme and reason in their eyes and that's a decision they're paid to make.

Solid burn.

Breaking: WOS hires lawyer Phil Belichick to fight eligibility appeal. Phil has never lost a player eligibility case in 30+ years. Not only will WOS be given their wins back..they also have the option of picking their district seeding come playoff time. Great job Phil on another huge victory.

I'm going against my preseason prediction of these 2 splitting and winning their games at home. I think EC takes this game as well. Probably by 10+. Kountze seems to be worse off then just their typical down year. Might be time for Coach Joubert to search for greener pastures.

Newton was far and away the best team in 3A D2. No question about it. Could they have won it all in the next class up? We'll never know. Here's what we do know...the last time Newton was in that upper classification they didn't make it out of the region. Is this Newton team better than those other Newton teams? Maybe. Probably. But we'll never know. And just because a team could beat the state champ in the next classification up doesn't mean they could win the state title in that class. Anything can happen in 1 game...but the road to the title is completely different for each classification. It speaks volumes not even having a competitive game until about round 4. I'm sure every team could perform better at JerryWorld if all of their kids were fresh when they got there.

THAT is what you took away from my post? Barely worth a reply...but if you must know. I don’t coach. But I also DO NOT bash those who do. Because if I thought I could/would do a better job then I would do so. I will not let a negative comment about a coach go on this site without giving a smart remark. If you didn’t know that then feel free to ask any of the posters on this site. And by the way..what post can you quote of me ever implying that I was the “KNOW IT ALL regarding all things coaching”? Well you won’t find any. But go ahead..have fun looking. Keyboard warrior. Good luck in your game next Saturday morning.

Gotta get wins when they can. Or at least try..

Would've been worth the price of admission for sure.
