According to at least one website, Reagan has the 4th fastest 200 among high schoolers this year!

Anybody hear the speech the new AD from HF gave last night? Didn't realize HF was losing 20+ seniors this year. I get the impression that he is serious about the girls getting their physical training up a notch or two. Should help the program.

This is funny stuff.. Boutte is one of the all time greats!  There is no debating that.  Even Boutte will tell you he has been blessed with talent.  Boutte just like plenty of other coaches has had teams that over achieve and a few that under achieved.  Boutte would not win state in Lumberton or Nederland just like no one else has.  However, there is no guarantee that English or any other coaches in this area would win state at Ozen or Lincoln (back in the day).  Is Boutte solely responsible for Perkins development?.  No.. Did he play a role in it?. Absolutely.. If Boutte gets credit for Perkins success then he gets credit for his short comings too right?. Thats why all this is comical.. Coaches play a role in all players both good and bad.. To win a state championship takes as much luck as anything.. The ball will have to bounce your way at some point along the way to winning one.. A coach's greatness cannot be defined by state rings alone especially at the high school level.. Plenty of great coaches who havent won and plenty who have.. It is just as hard to coach a team loaded with talent as it is to coach a team with very little talent.. Each has a different set of battles but both are equally difficult.

Coach Toot is also the girls athletic program coordinator at HF. He planned on leaving this year after his son graduated. He already told his basketball team he was leaving. He has a house over 2 hours away and his wife lives there. He lives in an RV park and did not plan on staying here long term. He does have a good program going and the next coach will inherit some good returning starters and JV players who have been successful. 8th also won district this year

Athletes can't be to bad they are sitting in second place after the field events in the disrtict track meet. 

It was all that when TARVER was there.  Im blessed to be part of that era

Harris was AD for 4 years. Not exactly a revolving door. Price was here for 2 and went to C.E.King. Knew he wouldn't stay long and he didn't care to be here anyway. 
You said before that you knew or worked with Coach Tarver. If so then your statement you know he established a program with stability and leadership. Also class and humility.
There were 3 kids who moved to Mid-County 5-6 years ago. 1 to live with his dad and the other two for personal reasons. Maybe didn't want to compete with King. You act like it happens every year. 
Go grind your axe somewhere else. HF must have fired you at some point

He will make the playoffs in FB the next two years so if we are having this conversation it is because he moved on to a bigger school and not success on the field. 4 out of 5 teams make the playoffs in this district so it doesn't take much. I don't agree with that system at all but it's what the UIL wants. More games = more money

Heard he asked for 5 years

From what I hear from some this could of been dale last time applying  & new coach may have asked for more than 2yrs since that was one reason for why some wanted dale. Instead of hating on this coach & athletes ..let them get a yr in before y'all say we will be having this convo again. We have great athletes here & more could be moving in from bigger districts who parents want their kid to get a better education. HF will be a contender in district Wait & See.  Again congrats to Coach J.

The HF/Lumberton gm just got more interesting. If we trading coaches & gm remained on this yr schedule

Would be a drop off from Jehling. Coach Babin can find someone who has the same passion and energy if they keep looking

I understand Gilmore's vote against. He is the other candidates brother-in-law. Probably would have been more appropriate to not vote at all for or against Jehling. For the other member Mott, not really sure why he voted against, unless he is friends with the other candidate or has some kind of agenda. Votes from a school board should always be what is best for the kids.
It does not matter now, Coach Jehling is the man at HF and it looks like the community is behind him. They have some work to do!

No one expected it to be a unanimous vote. Probably wouldn't have been for any  candidate. After hearing Coach Jehling interviewed on the news I think we are off to a great start with his enthusiasm, focus and the fact that he will place an emphasis on a summer workout program. His defense looked good last year when I saw Lumberton in a few games and I hope he uses some of their offensive schemes as well. Hopefully he can get his staff filled out quickly with other high caliber coaches so HF is competitive across the board in athletics

Folks, they aren't handing out college basketball scholarships like candy.  They are earned with years of hard work.  And even the best high school players often don't have a lot of options.  Those that are fortunate enough to get some scholarship money and play at the next level deserve our respect, and the congratulations and support from their home area.  At least that's my opinion.  I'm happy for all of our local kids who get the opportunity.  Congratulations, best wishes, and show them what SE Texas can do...
