Jesus, racism sucks. 
I guess you also need a white qb and a white coach to win, too. If it all comes down to having black athletes, then why do so many majority black schools have losing programs? Inner city Houston schools should be collecting hardware every December. 
This has been covered a million times.

Nah... I disagree. A D-1 QB prospect is a kid that you expect to play qb at that level. 
If the kid was a D1 qb talent, he’d be under center next year. Great athlete, good qb. Not a D1 qb, apparently. 

Cleveland's move up to 5A was because of a great influx of baseball and soccer athletes, not football and basketball. If you get my drift. Comprende?

Genetics related to a particular area has a lot to do with it, but not everything. All of the athleticism in the world won’t help without proper coaching and hard work in the years building up to the big stage. 
Kids from areas with a history of success have a lot more pressure on them to win and to prepare.  They are also the product of parents who know what it takes to win. Kids from Livingston aren’t expected to win by their community like kids from places like WOS or Newton. 
Strong little league programs, followed by good coaching/program through junior high, and serious physical development through high school are key. I’ve said over and over how our kids were competitive through little league based on coaching.  Our kids went to WOS for 7th grade (and won) but our coaching deficiency was obvious during warmups... WOS had kids drilling and ours were doing backbends and playing grab___ in the end zone. Our group literally learned nothing and developed nothing until Coach Dubois took over in 2015. That group lost an honest four years of progress because of woeful coaching. 

My understanding is that Adrian Peterson has been on the record as saying that CT was a huge motivator for him... the story went that CT left the impression that he was leaving Palestine because the kids were soft and that motivated AP. 
I couldn’t find a link this morning, though. 

Best post ITT.   You have to have athletes for sure.  But coaching is way underplayed by a lot of you.  IMO, Newton and WOS do what they do because of the CULTURES created there.  Talk to people in Palestine about Cornel Thompson’s time there.  Trying to implement a program there like WOS’s went over like a lead balloon.  Especially in this day and age, it isn’t the easiest thing in the world to have a community buy in to the type of culture (discipline, conditioning, etc.) that is needed to create a powerhouse.  In West Orange and Newton, the folks are by and large all in.

You getting that pot stirred up again

Isn’t PNG’s qb going to be moved to WR?

You can give us a comparative report after next week’s game.  I have gone back and forth on this myself (Silsbee or WOS in that district).  I was leaning Silsbee but the loss last night may have been the Mustangs’ most impressive outing of the season thus far.  If they get a passing game together at all, going to be tough for Silsbee to score with them.   Silsbee’s pass defense has been more than a little suspect from what I hear.  

For thier teeth?

Silsbee 45 BS 21

That streak ends this week.

The tough part of the preseason schedule is over for Silsbee. I think it’s very important to come out and make a statement in this game. Anything less than a 2 td win would be upsetting imo.
