Updated story with quotes from Jones, Wallis. Plus more info on the hire.

Jones plans to go to Kirbyville ASAP. Won't coach WO-S baseball.

Couple kids from Southeast Texas made this list as well.

i was really impressed with Ethan McCollum, LCM might have the best football player in Orange Texas in this particular class which might possibly be the first time ever? I’m sure WOS will have 1-5 guys emerge though. Anyways list below.

I really like McCollum too.

There are always exceptions. 

My point is this. IF the Kountze team that featured Arnold had made 4-5 rounds into the playoffs with the same exact roster that they had when Arnold was there, you would have seen 4-5 kids with D1 offers because they had been successful in the playoffs against other teams. Does that mean that there were 4-5 undiscovered talents on Kountze? Who knows? 

Making multiple rounds will absolutely get more looks for your kids. At the end of the day, offers really don’t mean anything. There’s a conversation going on right now about how few kids from Central got offers versus previous years. We’d give credit or blame to the coaching staff for that change. Newton kids are getting plenty of looks and a lot of it has to do with their success they’ve had crushing tomato cans in an inferior division. 

I could care less how they do... but if Newton fan wants to show up and say, “yeah... we could have beaten anybody in 3A or 4A, and the fact that some of our kids have gotten D1 offers is proof...” well... they need corrected. That’s what I’m here for. 

I suppose we'll find out next year when Newton plays Gilmer.

FWIW - Grayland Arnold has done well for himself at Baylor and Kountze isn't a big school.

Interested to hear some of your thoughts on this.

Nothing will occur pertaining to rezoning before the end of school.

And you are correct, the Head coach chosen will determine where they finish in district...

Yep, true. Very curious to see who gets the job/how much it pays.

The one thing that we do know is that the district is definitely top heavy...

Very top heavy. I think 3 thru 8 is wide open.

Kountze isn’t in the same hemisphere as EC.  Not this year.  Just an off year for the Lions.  They’ll be back. 

Maybe after next year.  EC is going to be a monster next year. 

Yeah I'm at this game now. East Chambers a much better team. Kountze is really struggling to even get into its sets tonight. One field goal in the second quarter.

I saw Brazosport's schedule and I know they won't be the 10th game.  I have not heard a lot about La Vega lately.  They may have been in contact with other teams, but I am not aware of it.

Cornel told me yesterday it's very possible WO-S plays a 9-game schedule.

*Bumpity bump*

It's hard to judge the new Beaumont school before a coach is named and the roster/possible zoning issues are solved.

Not too strong of a football district at the moment but I think if I were forced to make my selections today, I'd have the new Beaumont school on the outside looking in for the playoffs.

I have a bad feeling that once he’s out from under Saban’s watchful eye he’s gonna have a hard time keeping it together. 

I hope he proves me wrong. 

Good luck. 

Saban's had quite a few players slip out from that watchful eye the past few years. I think Tony will be fine.

I'm still confused with all this mess. It seems the player for Silsbee girls and player for WO-S boys were never ineligible to begin with.

smh

Correct.

District chair takes blame for situation

Talked with his mom a couple weeks back.

Really, really impressed with their whole family's approach leading up to this.

Doing a bunch of different things right now but this is all I have so far.
