I believe it's totally justifiable for each of these student athletes to request and be granted that release, based on the entire situation. I have not looked into depth those who have requested release, but the majority of them are on the "offensive side" and the 3 that concern me have the potential to play in the league some day soon. So, this choice while it's certainly controversial to the public eye, is probably the most important decision of their young lives. The University took a nose dive for failure as soon as this was made known to the public and for me, just based on sheer athletics, I would want to steer as far away from the issues as possible, to focus my next 4 years on being developed by somebody who's going to get me to the next level without all the other elephants in the room that could potentially prevent me from reaching that goal. Just my opinion

To be honest, even comparing Clay to Joubert, at HJ, I believe Clay would still be the best choice...and I think Joubert is a good coach.  But put a Hall of Fame guy in the mix, like Boutte, just for comparison's sake...who do you think they would go with in that case?

Like I stated though. Clay was slated for that job. Only way he don't get it, is if he don't want it. That's just my opinion.

I'm pretty sure as soon as Clay became "asst. head basketball coach" everybody in SETX knew it was his for the taking when the opportunity presented itself. Real question would be, did Duane Joubert also put in for that position when it became open......if that's the comparison you are looking for.

Hudson / Martin have both asked for releases. Any idea where these two may land next?

I seen Dickson (Navasota) wants out as well.

I think its' upwards to 8-10 who have asked for releases at this time. Imagine there's more to come.

congrats

I think BC will be better than what ppl think.

 

Wonder how many folks thought they overachieved last season…… 

that's why i'm going to check them out vs. Brock

I need to see what they got going on.....i'll have to revise my games schedule, LOL

It's not like we are joining a district with Carthage, Kilgore, Henderson, etc.. teams that have proven that they are an elite program. Yes, Navasota lost their Coach... SO did Silsbee.. Yes, Navasota lost their QB, their best receiver... We get that... With a program as talented as Navasota, why do you feel as it will be "a little bit tougher this time around as far as reloading"?

Again, Navasota, like WOS, has always and will always have talent. Check the history books. Your assessment is null and void.

Garrity was wrong once about HS football. I believe it was back in 1984

Correct. Most of the same coaching staff is still in place. Goodman has been there since the beginning.

I hear you. that's why I say it wont take long. I'm already keeping you 1st or 2nd in district seeding.

But I can't for the life of me grant you permission past the 1st round over my District 9. Esp not this year. They all reloaded (top 3)

1 minute ago, RattlerBlue said:

Hmm, take a look at Navasota's record over the last 7-8 years. Navasota reloads not rebuild.

yes you did reload with the SAME GUY in charge. LOL

You counting Navasota out? Them rattlers have a lot tradition. I'd give them a few rounds 

after watching them in the playoffs the last couple years and losing the head hancho, I give them 2-3 years before the become a force again. loads of talent over there but I just think its going to take some time after losing the BIG 3.

I guess I totally messed that up. Yeah, 9-4a about to go 3/1 in the first round. Silsbee being the only victor.

District 9

Bullard

Carthage

Center

Henderson

Kilgore

Palestine

Tyler Chapel Hill

Carthage will be hard to beat

Not just hard. Best team they have fielded since 2013 and maybe better than that team.

please don't tell me it's District 9

Because you know what i'm going to say next.......LOL

You do know what district they face 1st round right? 

District 11 Houston Kashmere Houston North Forest Houston Scarborough Houston Washington Houston Wheatley Houston Worthing Houston Yates

Yep. This has Boutte written all over it.

Might see you at that Aug 26th game. I'm not completely sure I can bring myself to make the trip, but it's possible. My oldest son is getting old enough to go see some games, so I've been thinking that this one will be a good starter for him.

Shoot me a text and I'll sit with you

I can see Top 4 being real tough in this district and also sweeping their first round opponents respectively.

If I had to put them in order, I'd go

1) Silsbee/Nav

2) Silsbee/ Nav

3) Bridge City

4) Huffman

we can learn together. I'll be at some Rusk games this year. at least 2, I hope.  try to slip over and see Tatum as they return back to a winning program as well.  no shortage of athletes ova there.

Just a hunch here but I do think we are gonna learn how to spell spread this season. 

 

Also, half of district 7 operates out of the spread. 

Yea you'll learn.

Oh don't get me wrong, Rusk will be a better team...a much better team because Jowell Hancock is their coach.  However, to predict Region II dominance is a stretch. 

Not sure who predicted Rusk to be region II dominant but that's not very bright. Rusk will however put a bunch of points on the board. Jowell will get some off. insight from long time friend and co-worker Craus and will certainly have some success at Rusk.  

Jerry believes he'll win some games this year and be a contender within 2-3 yrs.

It's a non Pineland Day year for West Sabine, so we have SEVEN away games (six in a row, so if you count the bye we won't play at home for nearly two months). We will be logging the miles in this district, as the away games are @Lovelady (10/7), @Centerville (10/14) and @Deweyville (10/28). 

wow. that's good for season after next though. and you are right......Stark in my opinion is the best thing that has ever happened to Hardin athletics. Hope we can keep him for the duration of his career.
