Shame.  That's why I tell people all of the time that playing college ball in any sport on any level is much more difficult to accomplish than realized.  It's not just about skill.  It's also grades, mentality, and life in general that can get in the way.  I guess he'll join the crowd of who knows how many small town kids.. "I would've play college ball but (fill in the blank)"..  

Anthony Scott went and played at University of Texas around 85-86

When parents need to move for the good of their family, I understand. But shopping kids around like a commodity is horrible. WOS had a highly recruited transfer leave and that led to 4 straight state appearances without him. I say if they want to go let em.
Better to have a team full of players that want to be there. Than have a team full of parents who are mad about them being stuck there

Younger generation is good with the transferring and all the bs.  I personally hate it. I get moving for jobs and personal reason blah blah. But in my worthless opinion it is ruining the integrity of football from PeeWee up.  I know my view will be the unpopular view but its how I see it.

No thank you from me.  Consolidation means losing your community identity, kids getting lost in the shuffle, teachers losing their jobs, long-long-long bus rides.  I am a product of that school and a proud alumni.  Just out of my class you had a chemical engineer, a financial aid director, several teachers, banker, law enforcement, successful business owners.  You and you alone are responsible for how serious you take your education.  Sports have been down, but eventually they will cycle back up.  If Chester combined with anyone it would logically be Colmesneil.  North Tyler County Piney-Wood Rooters (wild hog).  I just don’t see that ever happening.

Of course it happens... I'm not mad.  I die laughing when the Newton people come back with their "living in a van down by Bailey's Fish Camp" blasts.  
I miss the days when upon hearing an insult, we'd fire back with one of our own.  Now-a-days we just get all indignant and complain about "bullying" or "privilege" or whatever else excuse that losers can come up with.  There's a big difference between some good ol' fashion "jawing" and outright abuse.  Nothing in this thread has come close to that in my opinion. 

That statement in itself tells me all I need to know about your complete and utter lack of any kind of football knowledge. So you’re blaming the coaches for a kid getting a concussion? Never mind the fact that the kid was more than likely hit and could’ve just as easily gotten a concussion while running the ball, throwing passes, etc. Him getting a concussion on kickoff return is the stupid ole B Hill coaches fault?? That’s one of the most asinine statements I’ve heard in a while. You ever stop to think that maybe the coaches had him returning kicks because special teams is a very important part of the game and having one of their better players with the ball in his hands at any point in the game is a good thing.

There are several examples that you could find.  Just like there are several examples of coaches who have won titles and then never even come close afterward.
Here..let's start with a coach that everyone knows.  Tom Westerberg won 4 state titles in the highest classification in the state.  When is he going to win one at Barbers Hill?  When will he win a district championship?  Playoff game?  4 different times he was selected as the 5A/6A Coach of the Year.  Is he a worse coach now than he was 5 years ago?  I certainly don't think so.  Or is it because he had Kyler Murray behind the center?

Ignorant fans will always exist and every town has them.

DisAgree 100% back a few years ago all the schools from the DAllas area are getting basically home game for State so they get up in there on bed a drive down the road versus a 5- 9 hour bus ride. That absolutely makes a difference without a doubt. It should either rotate between the three covered stadiums or go back to flipping but the uil makes all their money off the stacked games they care less about how far some teams drive and others have a home game 

I think HD wins tonight.  I don't think it will be a blow out by no means, but I think they get the win.  It wasn't "fans" that said anything about best RB duo in the state, it was one fan said they are one of the best.  Some of us are very level headed folks that just love Bobcat football.  89 Falcon, I have never in my life met a person that is so negative.  I am not even trying to argue with some of the facts you bring up, for example the usual first round departure.  That's just fact, what I find very childish is the calling teams, fans, and towns horrible and trash, but hey you just keep doing you.  Having said that I understand we do have a fan or two that can be over the top, but you could address that/them without having to trash everyone else.

Deweyville had 6 starters out last night vs Groveton. It has been a rough season for Deweyville injury wise. We have a kid playing with a torn hamstring.
 
 
You do realize the kids they have aren’t slow nor weak.. they have a couple kids that easily run 4.6-4.7’s.. you talk a lot against Deweyville, must be a sore spot for you. 

Wow! you have all the answers don’t you?What kind of adult would talk so negative toward a hard working group of young men?throwing low blows towards the kids now that’s pretty low especially for a adult.Talking about how terrible The play calling is really set a fire under your ass. Lol
 

Here are my thoughts. Crosby is a great school district who is obviously going through some tough times right now. I think as a district mate of Crosby that I would like to offer up my thoughts and prayers for all of the affected, and all of the kids in the district. I would even consider buying something from the fundraising to help in whatever small way that I could. Remember THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO THE KIDDOS of the district. They deserve better than whatever has hit the school. I hope and pray that the situation is fixed in the near future and also hope for the best for the departing coaches and teachers. 
Your fellow district mate and a PN-G Indian. 

Deweyville has edged it out the past two years over the bobcats, 22-16 last year and 25-22 the year before. It’s not gonna be a blowout by any team. It will be a dog fight all 4 quarters.

Hardin will not win another game. Not being negative but no way. Real season has started.

Uh oh someone finally played somebody 

Talented athletes don't  make great programs. Hard working discipline  coachable good  football players do. I give u 500 great athletes. Just give me 22 coachable hardworking good football players and I will beat u everytime. Tell 50 coaches what I just said and all 50 will agree with me. 

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. 

I am rooting for Mexico 

It takes three things to win a state championship, players, good coaches allowed to do their job and parents who do not interfere with the coaches. Winning begets participation. I have been to games where I saw students sitting in the stands who looked liked they might be pretty good athletes. Why in the stands and not participating, who wants to put all that time practicing expending blood, sweat and tears into losing. I have seen teams with athletes and the coaches not know what to the with them. I have seen coaches favor athletes ( don’t work rest of the players recents it), let outside interest influence who plays and where ( don’t work, need your best players in the position that benefits the team the most). It takes a great coach to inspire the kids and rule ( my way or the highway) and avoid the outside influences ( look back on 2014 Newton 1-3 going into playing WOS. Coach Johnson speaking to a reporter said if the players would listen to him and the parents would stay out of it and let him do his job everything would be okay. The rest is history, went on and defeated WOS and played for a state championship) What made the difference, same roster no new players. Coaching made the difference. I fully believe every school has athletes getting them to participate is another chore, but  a winning tradition breeds participation.

Will there be a place on the sight to post them?  What are your opinions on the all-district teams? How many should be 1st team?, 2nd? etc.?
I know a 6a district with seven teams (ours), where offense has 25 1st teamers and 21 2nd teamers, while defense has 26 1st teamers and 18 2nd teamers!
Seems watered down to me.  I would like to see it go back to 11 and 11. 

As i expedted, trash talk.   One of the posters stated that it is about  winning .  I agree winning is important.  The most important part of football is "what the youth take with them after graduation,  Correct, and complete life lessons to help them when they get out on their own.  "    Another poster wants to know where I am from ,  Who I support, and stated that I must be new on this site.  I am new on this site.  Although,  the important stuff is  not about me.  And i did post on another public sports site for 7 years.  ITS ABOUT THE YOUTH .  AND WHAT LIFE SKILLS THEY TAKE WITH THEM WHEN THEY GRADUATE.  THUMP  THUMP  THUMP.

HD fought hard! 1st time I’ve seen a ref single handedly help a team get 2 scores (Timpson). HD dominated Timpson all night in the trenches. HD Center #55 Ryan Downs, played on an All-State level tonight, against one of the best D-linemen in the area. HD QB Bryce Fregia was explosive, such a good athlete. Total team effort, HD played together. Turnovers killed us. Timpson knew they were in a dog fight, they knew they got hit in the mouth. We were picked to get beat by 50 by most people... HD Nation fought! I tip my hat to Timpson they were the better team at the end of the night, good luck in next round...
