Maybe they didn't get a trophy at the end of the year...and got mad. Nah but seriously...it's not a big deal. I think junior high kids probably play in junior high just to get a feel for it. There are probably large numbers of kids that don't make it through high school. For various reasons.

Well I think th.... never mind. Too early to be making people mad I guess.

Several friends and family members that served in the US military. I am forever grateful. Thank you. To all veterans that have served and those that will serve. Thank you.

The whole region is weak compared to WOS. Even Bellville and Giddings will probably be 3+ score victories. Won't get a true (might lose) challenge until they face the Region 2 winner. Celina/Gilmer probably

I think Lorena will be a tough game for them. Winnable..but tough. If they get past that one I think they get beat by Giddings. We'll see though.

Crosby WOS Lamarque Woodville Tenaha Longview PA Memorial Barbers Hill Center Henderson Carthage Jasper Shepherd Hempstead Hitchcock Newton Evadale Overton New Caney Bellville

Definitely a good season so far. I looked up Overton's schedule...this will not be an easy one. Overton is pretty good. (based on their scores) best of luck HD

Top 10... not so bad I guess. Will definitely try to do better next season. At least I beat AAW. lol

100-0 If WOS wants...

EC playoff streak comes to an end after 2 decades. Know what will NOT happen? The community will not freak out and try to get the coach fired. Because with schools like this, the town supports the coaching staff. Other communities should maybe take notice.

My dad used to always say "God must love stupid people. He made a bunch of em"

I was honestly just wondering. Because I know that it would be possible to create an email address using a fake name. Not that I could understand how anyone would have time to reply under 2 account names..or even want to. I'm pretty busy just being one alias.

Just out of curiosity. How would you know if someone had more than one account?

I've picked HD more times in the pickems this year than the history of me doing it. Combined. Just a shame ole HD55 is MIA. This would be a good year for some of his usual sayings.

Friendly wager?

HJ wins this one

That's what I was referring to. The last few meetings.

History tends to repeat itself. This case will be no different. I think CHS will take this one.

No...I don't think you understand a single thing I said. Otherwise you wouldn't say my point makes no sense. What is this thread about? A hypothetical situation where a successful coach coaches a team that somebody thinks should have more success. I made a point that most of the time it may not matter who's coaching. Because if a team is terrible, then they are terrible. I then said that even if a coach improves the players on the team, they could still in fact be terrible. I even provided you with an example. You saying "None of your points make any sense at all and are so pointless"....speaks volumes on your level of intelligence. Or lack of.

Well, here we go again... completely misunderstanding what I've written. Guess what guy.. If your son goes from a 6.3 40 to a 5.9 40...he's gotten faster. He's still slow. But better. If your son goes from a 75lb bench press to a 90lb bench press...he's gotten stronger. He's still weak. But better. Improved is a relative term. And that's my point. Even when a coach improves all of the players on the team...they still might be terrible.

TEAM speed usually is more important than having 1 or 2 kids that are fast. I'm sure Hardin has 1 or 2 kids that are fairly quick. Does that mean they're going to score a lot of touchdowns? Certainly not.

The coach that they just got rid of had won almost 30 games in his last 3 years at West Sabine. Burkeville was a powerhouse when Roy Harper was able to bring (literally) a few kids from Newton to the school long enough to muster a state title. You take a few of Newton's horses and insert them into any school that size, and they're trouble for the rest of the state. This comes down to ability, size, strength, speed, and intelligence. All of those things can be improved...but even if I make a 90-year-old woman a little faster and a little stronger...she still isn't catching the running back from La Marque or Hitchcock.

Were you a coach or teacher there while Stark was? Because I personally don't believe you have any idea how he acted on campus. And if so...you're telling me that the way he "acted" was only enough reason to let him go after starting the season 0-5? So if they had started 5-0 the way he "acted" would've been perfectly ok?
