Coach Hagerdorn, I'm not sure about the spelling.

Sabine Pass lost to Warren last year when they had the OLD coach.The worst thing that can happen is for fans to be inpatient. . It is better to have a record of 7 and 7 in November / December seeing who can play and what you have. Then you have a chance to play well in district and have a shot at the playoffs. But if you go 14 and 0 playing 5 players with no idea of what you can get from your bench and run into foul trouble, injury or a team that is wearing you down and no one on the bench has played a single minute that matters, then you are screwed in January and February. Every player in the program is new to the coach. The coach is new to every player, approximately 60% of the players are new to each other. It is a process that requires time, patience, trial and error, frustration, aggravation, more than likely a few choice words and cross looks; eventually all this will lead the players to trust in the coach, believe in the system, have faith in each other ( not just one or two players) and confidence that they can win with each other. Last years team had plenty of growing pains it wasn't all wine and roses. IT NEVER IS WITH ANY TEAM ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME.

Well with 2 projected starters out, 7 new kids on varsity and 3 days of practice for the rest of your starters (football players) to lose by 5 in a game the starters led by 10 before wholesale substitutions doesn't concern me. They lost to Warren early last year and still made the second round of the playoffs. They have the top 2 players in district. 4 of their top 7 returning from last year's team, which leaves 3 or 4 spots to be sorted out. They are a work in progress. The fans have to have patience with the process.

Jones is the better of the two, Daniel Sam being the other is the one with the offer.

I'm not discounting Evadale, from top to bottom I would think you guys are better than Sabine Pass and are the district favorites. But individual talent the two at Sabine Pass are better.

They are a work in progress new approach, schemes and roles. By the time district rolls around they should be able to hold their own. They have the top 2 individual players in the district. It will depend on the role players.

LOL

Man, THEY still on that. The HATERS can't: 1) leave it alone, 2) stand to lose, 3) stand to be WRONG.

Didn't the kid make All District as a junior. To me that would indicate he's a player, so love it or hate it that he got a second chance. You can't argue with his ability.

They have a new coach, had a kid transfer and another out. they will hold their own when district starts.

They have a couple of kids getting looks. One has an offer. Both played fairly well for the first game.

Warren 55; SP 50.

According to one of the players. SP 76 : OCC 36.

That doesn't equate to 2000 Memorial grads @ Brown, Columbia or Princeton either. The point is you do what's best for your's and I'll do what's best for mine. I'm through with this on THIS site, but we can get together over a brew and talk all things PA: politics, schools the lack of employment opportunities and sports at some other time in a appropriate setting. Peace to you Brother.

So if I moved to another city, I should not do what I enjoy or excel at. That's senseless. A kid should not do what he's capable of because he left PA. Well maybe PAISD should try to figure out and then fix; whatever caused the parents of a low estimate of approximately 500 students (Combined enrollment of Sabine Pass, Bob Hope and Tekoa) no counting Mid County kids to leave the district.

When PAISD offered me to bus my kids across town, when my kids lived 3 minutes from the elementary school they had been attending I was mad. When I seen (with my own two eyes) what went on in the middle school classrooms I was done. I LOVE Port Arthur and I wish the district and ALL the children well. BUT I was and am not now willing to trust / deal with or settle for what I felt was not best for mine. I know what PA and PAISD was, but it's not anymore. #neednewleadership.

If any black kid is able to be manipulated, convinced or some how made to self hate. That is the parents fault. The brunt of my childs education is based on what I put into him. The notion that any parent should accept what PAISD has tried to push down people's throats is Utterly ridiculous. If a kid transfers and ends up getting a scholarship you mean to tell me he couldn't have started at Memorial. So Memorial has more talent than the college the kid is going to. That is laughable.

For myself, and the people I know. Ain't no hate for getting your kid to his destination. (ULL, UNLV, TAMU). If a situation is not conducive to you winning THAN you flip the script.

If one of the kids from the Mid - County schools; is from PA and cut his teeth on and fine tuned his game on the courts and fields of PA than he gets love and props from PA. We recognize the situation.

Hadn't heard that, that's great news. It only takes one kid to make it for the rest of the kids to believe that (Hey IT could happen for me).

PA (South County) is a hotbed of talent in every sport, always has been. They just need coaching with an understanding of the kids. A little give and take goes a long way.

New day @ Sabine Pass, not predicting anything. There is a new attitude not at the top, but within the program.

What a difference a couple of cupcakes on the schedule and a new coach makes.

That didn't take long.

I don't any of the particulars of the situation, and unlike some I don't care to know. But let's just say you're right he had numerous chances. The fact remains his FUTURE is ahead of him and whatever (happened) past tense is BEHIND him. So whether this is chance number two or twenty two he has an opportunity to learn and grow from this. The discipline has been handed out, and the family has moved on. If some people are mad because the family didn't lay down, or not fight for their son oh well. Keep hating and the kid will just keep playing. I'm off to another thread have a Blessed day.
