If this were correct wouldn't the curve of multiple state championships play out across other sports outside of football? [/quote]It's even more evident in other sports. Take BH for instance, they don't have the best athletes but there are parents there that will pay 3-5k a year for kid to play baseball or softball, same for golf. That translates in high school as you can see both high school teams were ranked #1 at one point. The Klein and Cy schools dominate soccer in the region due to their money. In football I still think it's more coaching than anything else even though you can't be short on talent. Prime example is Steve Lineweaver, his Commerce teams played for four 3A titles in eight years and won 2. He left and went to Euless Trinity where he's won three more 5A titles. Commerce might be one of the poorest places in East Texas and Euless' Polynesian community is by no means affluent. Lineweaver probably makes over 115k though so Trinity is definitely getting their money's worth. [/quote] Lineweaver is the best high school coach in Texas bottom line

Newton - All they do is win Mart - small town, low income, Win [/quote] Mart has one of the nicest turf stadiums in the state. They may not have the household income of lots of these other schools but they have too flight facilities

[/quote] No sir the reason is they have superior facilities, coaches, and anything else money can buy. That leads to state championships. If you're not willing to spend with the big boys you're not going to be able to compete. Bottom line!

[quote name="oldschool2" post="1427114" timestamp="1377385229"] HD wins.....one more time. The hd move-ins are too much for the hornets this year. This will be the last time the bobcats win this game though....maybe ever. In fact,  I wouldn't be surprised if this game doesn't get scheduled again. I predict HD to have 12 wins over the next 5 years. And Hardin won't be any of those. for those of you that don't like my comments....sorry. Brutally honest is the only speed I go. [/quote] I like your brutal honesty and how you don't pull any punches

[quote name="puddleofmudd" post="1425538" timestamp="1376878911"] A lot does have to do with having coaches. But I know 3A schools that coach all levels from 7th to varsity and only 6 coaches in the program [/quote] And those 3A schools are not very good

[quote name="SAWolverine" post="1425300" timestamp="1376814922"] Was at the alto/hd game.....hd did not impress me one bit. Sa had over 300 rushing yards on alto just weeks prior.  Run d was their weakness and you still couldnt beat em.  We had them down 35-0 in 2nd qtr but came back and made it a game.  Alto had something hd will never have and thats mental toughness.  Also Hd lost the game because they lack defense and do not have a passing game. How bad did the vidor jv beat yall? [/quote] I believe HD scored 4 times to Vidors#2's 0. Not certain but that's what I heard

[quote name="utfan06" post="1425297" timestamp="1376808004"] He isn't talking about Kountze.. [/quote] If Kountze would get out of the gym, they would be one of the most dominant football teams in southeast Texas. So many athletes.
