Joe McCoy, Liberty's stadium and field are not better than all of those schools. That field is crappy, ask anybody that has played on it and they will tell you. I am not bashing on Liberty, but it isn't even close. Coldspring and Shepherd has newer facilities. Not the biggest but way better than in Liberty. Oh yea it is Shepherd not Shepard.

We will have to agree to disagaree. I have sat in the stands at both Coldspring and Shepherd and Liberty out ranks. Im not talking the entire facility. I will say Liberty has probably the worst locker rooms in the state. Shepherd facilities were new and nice but stadium not so impressive.

2 things...first: Liberty does have horrible facilities..including the field. If you think the field is nice then you've never been outside of Liberty county. And if you think it's the nicest in the district...then that speaks volumes about this area. I can assure you..concrete bleachers on a field that is named after a war is waaaayyy too old to be anywhere near nice.

2nd: kids absolutely CAN choose where they want to go to school. Almost every school in the state accepts out of district transfers for financial reasons..among others. If a kid is in high school and wants to go to school somewhere relatively close...it's happening. Have to live in the schools district...give me a break. That is definitely the Southeast Texas statement of the year. And probably is part of the reason it's so crappy at Liberty...1970 mindset.

See what I mean. All this hate for Liberty. You would think they were a dynasty or something. I stand corrected on students transfering. But as far as the stadium and field, it is better than Cleveland, Coldspring, Tarkington, Shepard, Hampshife Fannett, Anahuac, Hull Dasietta, West Hardin.

Coach Hacker, Stewart, or Deel?

Deel. His last year he had 3 players who are playing D1 ball right now and couldn't do anything with them. He just didn't care. Players went home after school on game days. He didn't attend pep rallys. Players faked injuries all week of practice then allowed to play on fridays. ECT.

Why all this hate on Liberty. It is what it is. The last head coach/AD ruined the program due to his lack of care about the program. The kids that have moved from Liberty have done so because there family has moved due to divorce, housig issues, ect, not just because they wanted to move to a better program.  Kids just can't pick and choose which school they want to attend. You have to live in that district. I would love for my daughter to go to school in Dayton but I live in Liberty. The athletic facilities are horrible but the football field minus the locker rooms is one of the best in the district. Give them some time and they will be competitive again. The current Jr. high kide are a very talented class.
