Makes sense. But.. things that often make sense aren't the things that happen.

oldschool2 got a reaction from BayouB in Coldspring schools shut down
Not interests. Just interesting to say that by taking the shot or wearing the mask is an implication that the spread will slow down at all. When in reality, there have been more people that have taken the shot and/or caught the virus with or without it since this whole debacle started...after the "shots" were available than before. Considering that, nothing has done anything to deter any of it. I could post some articles or videos proving such by reputable, medical doctors but if it goes against your personal beliefs then they will discredited as "quacks" or "idiots" or "conspiracy theorists" anyway..so why bother. But.. at some point.. I would think that every person on the planet would begin to question whatever information they're listening to. As we're two years into this and after 3 different vaccines, one booster, two boosters, three boosters, etc.. maybe just admit that maybe they really don't have a clue and/or are just telling people a load of crap. Just my take.
Personally, I truly don't give a crap what anyone does. It's still a free country. I just know that I'm not going to be lectured about anything health related by entities that are exclusively money driven.

The shots and masks will slow the spread of Omicron? Interesting take.

oldschool2 got a reaction from Texasdude281 in Kedrick Reescano- New Caney
Very impressive. I heard that this kid has very close family ties to the Reescano family recently in or graduated from Hardin.

oldschool2 got a reaction from RETIREDFAN1 in Liberty County Quarterbacks
Fair statement. Especially concerning southeast Texas.. CT was an exception but retired. All communities are stupid for not allowing THEIR CHOICE to at least see the 9th graders through graduation. Just my opinion, of course. But to be fair, the most consistently successful programs (no matter the sport) have consistent head coaches. People claim they want someone to build a program and/or change the culture, then don't allow them time to do it.

oldschool2 got a reaction from Mr. Buddy Garrity in Liberty County Quarterbacks
I seriously think you have no idea the level of physical maturity between a 13/14 year old kid and a 17/18 year old kid. Unless this 8th grader you speak of is one or two years older than his peers.. which would also explain why he was so dominant (I'm guessing that's what you're implying?). No offense, but when an 8th grader makes other 8th graders look bad it doesn't mean that they could start for any varsity team in the county. Don't get me wrong.. maybe the kid can play. But I wouldn't bet the farm on an 8th grade kid from Hardin being able to even remotely do well playing with or against the teams in Liberty, Cleveland, or Dayton's district.. Let alone starting offense. My thoughts, if that kid would've indeed been Hardin's starting quarterback last year.. he would've been running for his life against East Chambers, Woodville, Anahuac, and the others just like their actual varsity quarterback was.
Besides.. we're talking about the AD's kid? That's what I heard anyway.. What are the chances that A)Hardin keeps the coach around long enough to see the kid graduate anyway? (look at their track record) B)if the kid is as good as you're implying, why not take him to a school where he'll get an opportunity to shine? and win?
C'mon, guy..

Unless there is just a mass exodus of students.. WOS will remain locally dominant at least I'm guessing. Newton went through two great coaches and is still Newton. The kids just traditionally have more than everyone else in their respective classification/area. WOS will do the same.

Quite a difference between a goal and what you're talking about. Every good coach in the system will say that's their goal, train like a champion, have kids believing that they're winners, and do everything possible to win every game.. but will realistically know whether or not it's a legit possibility. Coaches know their talent level and they know the other team's.

How many schools in Liberty Country haven't won a football state championship in.. ever? All but one, right? As much as it pains me to say, I do believe that Hull Daisetta is the only school in that county with a state title. Having said that.. statistics show us that neither Liberty or any other school in Liberty County will NOT win a state championship in football in the next 7 years. Possibly ever.
So.. just my opinion, of course. Maybe don't make the standard as winning it all. Maybe overall athletics success (as perceived by the community), consistent high percentages of participation, and maybe positive culture changes and expectations.
Anyone who believes that a coach's individual success should be rated on a state championship is going to stay overly disappointed. Most really good coaches spend a career trying for a championship without getting one.
Phil Danaher just retired recently as well. He won more games than any football coach in Texas public school history. Zero state titles.

Not sure how the girls side is run. I know it’s fairly successful.. and I believe the coaches are pretty consistent. Are they not? I know that pretty much all successful sports in SeTx have pretty much had the same coach for a long time.
You’d think that schools would notice that correlation. I know I have.
