Sc with there qb and two receivers back and that transfer running back. And Crosby with the twins and that tight end coming back. If they find a defense they would be serious contenders in D2. [/quote] Why do you think D2 is so much easier?  To me it's all the same. [/quote] In my opinion there are a lot more tougher teams in D1 than in D2. At least it was that way last year. I'm not saying that all teams in D2 are push overs. I'm just saying D1 has a lot more powerhouse teams. IMO that is. [/quote]I agree, the reason D2 is easier is because of the enrollment. Georgetown won 3 or 4 games in 5a before realignment. The powerhouse teams like Dawson, Georgetown, Summer Creek, and 4a state champ Denton Guyer all have enrollments around 2000 or above. All things being equal an extra 5-600 kids makes a big difference. Division 2 teams are usually within a couple hundred kids of each other which makes for less disparity between the teams. [/quote] Then how do you explain some small schools consistently beating bigger schools or even schools from a lager classification?  BTW, I wouldn't consider Georgetown and SC powerhouses yet.  Nothing against them, but SC has one playoff win and Georgetown had one good year.  Dawson is proven, but that's about it.  Even they lose to a few smaller schools. [/quote] Which smaller schools are you talking about?? [/quote] Nederland beat Dawson.  I don't know what Dawson's enrollment is, but it is probably bigger than the 1490 or so at Nederland. [/quote]Dawson will be 6A next re-alignment and Pearland ppl are not pleased about it.

[Hidden Content] I can believe it. Just like Rick Adelman is targeted in the NBA.

[/quote] I havent, i do believe his teams gave my HS problems (SFA) Matter of fact, wasnt he the last HC to lead HJ to the playoffs??

I feel for other SEC tracksters having to compete against him next year when he's at LSU.

[quote name="BigCountry66" post="1390519" timestamp="1364833093"] The public schools in Louisiana have been getting bullied by private schools for a while.  All I used to hear about was how nobody wanted to play Evangel out of Shreveport.  West Monroe played them once in front of 40,000.  Had to play the game in the Independence Bowl.  A friend from Shreveport area told me once, "In Texas, you go to private school for quality education and public school for quality athletics.  In Louisiana, it's just the opposite".  That was 20 years ago.  What's interesting is that if you jump over to the Basketball forums and read about Triple A or AAA or whatever they are called, it sounds just like Evangel in football.  You simply can't let private, charter, magnet, etc schools to compete against public schools.  It's an unfair advantage to be able to acquire your athletes in such a way that is totally different than a geographical boundary used by public schools. [/quote]Totally agree

[quote name="bobbymcgee" post="1390423" timestamp="1364784716"] If Vidor's OC is headed to H-J as the new coach there the Pirates are in need of a new OC. Mathews doesn't call the plays so this is a pretty pivotal position for them. here are some guys that could be possiblitlies. 1. Brian Huckabay- former Orangefield head coach who is now OC at Hull-Daisetta and runs the Slot-T. Is friends with Mathews and both from Bridge City so they'd probably work together well. Will be seamless transition as they run the same offense. Huckaby is a masterful play caller. 2. Greg Neece- Probably on borrowed time in Kirbyville so why not get back to doing what he does best- running an offense . [b]Plus he already lives in Vidor so it will be a shorter commute for him[/b]. Only complication is the Wing-T is what he runs but it isn't too far off from Mathews' slot-T. 3. More than likely Vidor will not have the money for an experienced OC and Mathews will promote some random assistant already on the staff. [/quote] whoa! didnt know that. He seems like someone Vidor would go after but Kville was pretty young last year, i think he is gonna be ok there after they make the playoffs this season. Doesnt Liberty Hill run the Slot-T? If so maybe their OC would be interested......
