No offense..but a little bit of that arrogance has been earned.  Carthage has won more state titles than BC has playoff games as of late.  That doesn't mean anything now..but my point is that I feel that Carthage fans can probably be a little arrogant.
On that note..Carthage wins this one by 4 scores.

Anyone that thinks Coach Joubert would give up basketball and keep football is crazy.  I would think he is an individual that likes winning too much.  I would bet he keeps AD title and Head Basketball along with it...and gives up football.  I'm sure either that...or leave.  No way he keeps football instead of basketball...at Kountze...even without the Arnold kid I'm sure the basketball team will still be just fine.

Um...this is exactly what I said..  Duh it depends on the situation.  Kind of like...having the players at Newton is a little bit better situation than having the players at Deweyville.  Kind of like having the players that Tatum had in 05-07..in that classification..versus having the players Tatum has this year in 4A D2.  No kidding it depends on the situation.. Literally the difference between a state championship and an 0-10 team.  Same Coach, same school, same program, same field, same weight room, DIFFERENT PLAYERS.

Did anyone say coaches don't make a difference?  I'm pretty sure I said that all coaches were doing exactly what they can to win.  And if they're not winning...then they're adapting to what winning programs are doing.  Well That team does this in the off season so we'll implement some of that.  All ideas are borrowed (either part or whole) from someone that's done it better.  Here's the difference...what you have to work with.
The best fisherman in the entire world cant catch a fish out of a puddle that doesn't have fish in it.  
Newton's, Kirbyville's, West Orange Stark's, Carthage, Tatum, East Bernard, Celina, Allen, New England Patriots, Coach Alvarez himself, or any other coaching staff you can think of....can NOT go to ...let's say Deweyville (example) and win a state championship.  And there are many other schools I could name.  I don't care how long they're there.  I'd be willing to bet any amount of money you want to on that.
I'm not saying they aren't all excellent coaches.  And I'm not saying they aren't doing what other coaches probably might not be able to do.  I'm just saying that if they didn't have the talent they had...you wouldn't even know who they are.  There are a lot of really good coaches across this state that don't win.  Winning is not ALL that makes you a good coach.

Smh...

Good coach will not win without talent.  Good team will be competitive with a good coach or not.  But a good team needs a good coach to win it all.
I can name several schools that Bill Belichick could not win at.

One of the many, many reasons I feel so sorry for coaches, and could never do it.  I would get fired year one.  Their jobs are literally dangling by the production of teenagers, and the feelings of parents/board members.  It isn't a coincidence I'm so quick to defend coaches on this site as often as I do.  Plus they're all the while balancing all of that with the fact that they have to teach all day, deal with discipline issues, missed practices, bad practices, other teachers, grades...wow.
People are so stupid.  A good coach has the ability to change the mindset of a player.  Make them work harder than they normally would, make them believe they are capable of beating anyone, get the absolute most out of a kid/team, even impact the future of their players by transforming then into productive citizens when their parents couldn't.  
But...no matter how good of a coach they may be.  If the other team's fastest player is faster than your fastest player, the other team's biggest player is bigger than yours, the other team's strongest player is stronger than yours, and the other teams best player is better than yours...it may not matter how good of a coach you are.  But parents don't want to hear that.  Literally...shaking my head.

This sounds like it may be disgruntled parent(s) at work here.  I would hope if a high school coach actually physically slapped a minor...then there would be police involved.  Was he arrested? 

The real success story for WOS...or any other setx team as of late is because of UIL.  Had the UIL left the teams in similar regions WOS never gets to state. Last year or this year.  Yeah I think they'll go again...but who else possibly could out of that joke of a region.  One of the districts you don't even have to win a game to make the playoffs.  And Newton has the same story.  Dropped a class and finally get out of the region.  I'm not saying it's not good..you can't help who you play..but if the districts remain the same it would've been same ole story.
And I think it's clear who has the reading comprehension problem.  I did say EC has never dominated anything other than the area.  And I did mean it.  It's so funny that the domination vanishes as soon as they play a team outside the walls of setx.
I don't "go" for anyone anymore.  I'm old..kids are gone..and just enjoy football.  Every level...well...high school and up.  My kids went to CenTex schools and I bounced around North Texas a bit.  But I've lived/worked all over the state...and I truly mean it when I say setx is well behind.  In many areas of education.  I enjoy living down here for 3 reasons.  Saltwater fishing, duck hunting, and food.  I think setx is the best on those 3 qualities.  Compared to anywhere I've been anyway.
I'm just trying to incorporate some of what I've seen/experienced with the area to put y'all back on an even playing field.  This area hasn't been relevant in football since the oil booms.  Time to change because those days are gone.

KP won.

I truly hope there aren't any coaches looking on here for tips...but I bet they are looking on here.

AS isn't great.  But I think Iola isn't bad.  AS gave Iola all they wanted in Iola.
I don't like comparing teams like that..but it's all I know about AS.  Having said that..I don't think they're quite as bad as HD.  AS takes this one.
Side note..congrats on last week.  I knew WH was bad but I was shocked.  I'm sure that win was good for the kids.
