Top cat

it is sad when your town/school has such a reputation of fighting that you have to move local games out of area.

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.

Is it too early to pull the starters???

There are a few Warren posters on this site. Not very vocal as we've been down for quite a while..I've pretty much moved away from making comments and now mostly just post scores...I think the reason you see folks bashing on Hardin more so than Warren and Anahuac is because a few Hardin folks like to claim playoff spots starting in July..They also claim automatic wins versus teams like Anahuac, Warren, Kountze etc. even though Hardin has a historically lower win percentage than these schools..I pull for underdogs so I hope Hardin, Warren and Anahuac someday turn things around and all become contenders at least. Those kids and towns could certainly use it! 

Simple, gene pool. In a lot of the cases involving the small schools, no one leaves the area. Past great athletes never leaves the town. Raises his/her kids in their home town. Continuous cycle.

You and I might be able to beat Kipp Sunnyside.  You wanna be QB or receiver?... nah let’s just take turns.

Hardin should be able to put as many points on the board as they want to move the jv kids up for Friday 

Hater? No, historian. Hardin supporters are on the site year after year and let us know how good they are, until they start district. Then all the ‘College Prospects etc. start fighting at 1/2 time amoung themselves. That event happened under your current coach. Took a $5000 buy out...less than I pay for lawn services per year.

All the teams you have listed as possible Hornet wins also has Hardin on their "should" win list as well.

Former Liberty Panther and current Sam Houston State Bearkat Andrew Fregia was selected by Baltimore in the 13th rd!

While most of us recognize the value of choosing to play a good program like Newton in the buildup to district play, not everybody feels that way. 
If you are a coach with big aspirations of moving on in your coaching career, it’s hard to do much with a bad winning percentage. Locking yourself into 2-3 guaranteed Ls each year isn’t a good way to get a better paying gig. 
Plus, a big school playing Newton is kinda like picking a fight in a gay bar. You can’t brag if you win, but you’d better not lose. 

I'll bet there's some quality basketball being displayed in this tournament.

Cheaper to spray roundup on it than to keep it watered and mowed 

Need to schedule more games vs JV teams 

The Hornets look to bounce back this week from another multiple touchdown loss.  The baseball coaches will be working off a baseball hangover from the World Series today so look for the Sub-Varsity teams to get hammered by three touch downs or more.
The opening weekend of deer season is upon us.  This means the coaches jobs are safe this week because the talking heads will all be in the woods by Friday afternoon.  The only thing more important than high school football is a deep freeze full of back strap.

The women of Hardin are all getting their hair and nails done today to prepare for opening weekend.  This will be the busiest weekend of the year at Stetson's Nightlife in Humble. 
146 will be eerily quiet...Anahuac is less awful than Hardin by two scores.

This game should set the ball rolling for the "Fire Haynes!" crowd to start getting vocal.   
A guy who previously played "pulling guard" for the Hornets will be yelling, "BLOCK LINE!!!" This guy will be between 5'6" and 5'9" with Hardin trucker style hat and a Hardin Youth Football championship ring...He only voices his disgust because Haynes squandered all of the talent that he sent up the line.  You will be able to hear him over the band.
The women in the crowd will be taking turns going back and forth to the parking lot to take a few more pulls off of a menthol Newport and a swig or two from a Smirnoff they poured into a Yeti cup...all the while wondering why can't the boys be as good as the girls.  You will be able to spot them by the sequins on the butt of their jeans and Jesus inspired t-shirts.
Win or lose...It will a be a pretty good little Friday night on the visitor's side.

The crazy thing is the way they do the count..meaing that it's the numbers as they are right now (9-12).  Why in the world would this year's seniors have anything to do with UIL competition NEXT year and the year after.  At least if they're going to do the counts based on a snapshot enrollment count 8th-11th grades.  That is next year's high school enrollment.

HD 48
Evasmell 46
 
In Evadale, with cupcakes and ice cream melting away, NO 100th win for Coach that night!!!  Lmao! There was crickets though, lots and lots. 

HD's 1st team District selection DE/TE from last year #99, re-injured his groin in the 1st half, his Parents said he may be out the rest of season. Also, HD only really played 2 quarters vs D-Ville, HD Coaches made great half time adjustments. HD come alive in 2nd half. If HD would have spread D-Ville out in 1st half, HD wins this game. Gotta give the Pirates credit, they were ready to shutdown HD's offense in 1st half. The D-Ville passing attack was able to capitalize on HD's best secondary player #5 being out with concussion protocol. 
 
Bottom line, one heck of a game from both teams, HD is not as bad as folks thought. The Bobcats have a good scrappy defense, the QB is a play maker, #9 is an athlete that needs the ball more, #33 needs to slide in and take over for #99 on both sides of the ball, no brainer. HD will make the playoffs and could give Iola and Evadale all they want, in what lots of locals say is a down year for the Bobcats. 

I guess Hardin is only worried about getting wins on the board seems like there scheduling the smallest worst teams they can find to play. Their district is tuff going to be bad when they start playing teams their size 

If you take 4 two way starters off of any 2A team they are going to look bad. I actually went to the game thinking it would be 60-0 but that wasn't the case HD will be fine when they get their players back. Kountze looked ok but should have been better this was their first game they will probably get better with more games under their belt 

This is what happens when the locals allow a new superintendent to come and in and get rid of the only coach in the last two decades who could get his team to line up and play good football...You'd think the good folks of Coldspring would've known what they had after watching all of the bad years from the late 90's to mid to late 2000's....It reminds me of the old saying that those who ignore history are destined to repeat it...
Don't know how many times I've heard people talk about all of the great talent that Coldspring has had in the past but had no one to take advantage of it...When they finally get a guy who knows how to take advantage of it they get full of themselves and think that the current success is due to talent and not the result of great coaching and that they can just get anyone to come along and continue the success...
The last superintendent (Gibson who is now at Marshall) and every member who was on the school board when the decision was made to let him demote and ultimately run off Barbay are directly responsible for the current state of the football program.
It was surreal to hear tonights broadcast team bring up Barbays name in the 3rd qtr of tonights game while openly questioning the future fate of the current head coach...It was also priceless hearing said play by play guy refer to himself as a friend of Barbay when he was one of the people on the school board at the time who thought Coldspring wouldn't have any problem finding another coach as good or better than Barbay...Good stuff...Unfortunately as is so often the case adults find a way to screw things up for the kids...
 

What a game for my lil band of Pirates! They brought nothing but heart to Evadale last night. Congratulations to the Rebs but I must say...the Pirates led 13-8 almost the entire game and lost the lead with 3:00 mins left in the 4th to a  4th down and 10, eyes closed 30yd toss to the back of the end zone and just could not come back. Pirates Defense logged 3 interceptions and a fumble recovery but couldn't capitalize. At the end of the day...alot of these kids don't even have a home to go to at night and spending their days gutting homes and moving furniture. Absolute fantastic bunch of young men. No matter the score, I am extremely proud. Those boys left everything they had on that field in Evadale. 

Nw wins. Hardin is still Hardin. It don't matter who is the coach. Coaches can't create players. 

That's why I stated he would be paid thru this school year.
