    Seems he had a wealth of community support in 2009 when he was passed over for the job. Maybe he is being pushed out by the political powers that be again, or maybe he went back just to hang the finger out of the window when he got ready to leave. Who knows.

    This is the hidden content, please

    I guess that last statement is suppose to check me in some way?  He could be motivated to simply use PA as a stepping stone.

    If and when a booster club is created, I will join and I will see for myself how high and similar his expectations are to mine.....

    So hang on, PA hires a home town guy who wants to be there and you are questioning whether or not he cares enough about the kids to "continue getting them scholarships"? Something isn't computing here. It seems this should be a slam dunk hire that is applauded by all........so what's really up?

    Not personal at all.

    I just know that some very deserving coaches got overlooked in the hiring process a couple years ago, because the "Hometown Hero" was coming back to save the day.

    Kinda sad to leave those kids after only 2 years.

    Did Droddy get another job?

    Tbh, me as a future United parent and ones ive been around and talked to all wanted an outside hire, i really think this was all the Boards doing...I feel they wanted the buddy-buddy thing, not us as football parents, cus we knew better and knew if we wanted our kids to be the most successful and play at the highest level and be competitive we needed someone outside of the usual norm..

    I was personally a fan of Botkin as well as Lydell but Peterman would have been just as good if not better then both.

    What would make you think that the board of managers, who have worked tirelessly to rid BISD of all the backhanded dealings and under the table agreements, would be looking for the "buddy buddy" thing? I think WOSgrad hit it on the head, they attempted to hire someone who could unite the community. Like I said before, the community needed uniting because there are too many people not willing to turn the page, even though it was entirely evident that the page needed turning.

    You have to think, how much did all of the parents beating the table about tradition and history have to do with the hire of Louis? If the BISD parents would have been a bit more optimistic about the opening of a new school and all the opportunities it would bring, then maybe BISD would've been more open to going outside of the usual norms and hiring an outsider. I am sure they wanted to make those "tradition and history" parents believe they were invested in keeping the "tradition and history". Due to that, you guys got Arthur Louis rather than Todd Peterman.......simple as that IMO.

    You don’t know a whole lot about football to make that comment. Do your homework before you spout off at the mouth

    I’m reading Danny’s article and seeing a heck of a baseball coach. No mention of football coaching experience or pedigree. Hope the stickball translates. 

  24. Newton Football - 2018 Schedule

    Oh boy, this is juicy. For informational purposes here are some scores.

    2014 Newton 21 - WOS 9

    2015 WOS 48 - Newton 7

    WOW 48 to 7. Don't play stupid and act like Newton learned anything from that game except that they were not on the same level. I keep reading that coaches don't want to take loss to avoid tarnishing their record. Do you really think W.T. Is worried about that? These are the only 2 teams in this corner of the state, that have dominated in their divisions year in and year out. W.T. Is still going to get a win. But at some point you have to ask yourself as a coach. Is it worth risking my players health and letting them take a major hit to their pride just to be "competitive". Do you think that if Newton played Burkeville or Deweyville makes either team better? If I'm a coach and I know my team, I understand where I can and can't compete year in and year out. I think if Cornell took a 48-7  loss to someone like Manvel, we might be having this same conversation about him. It's a shame that some of you think it's about the W/L for a man like W.T. who has dominated as a coach be it as a DC or an AD for nearly 30 years and has 2 state championship visits in 4 years with 1 to take home while he has been practically at gods mercy for the whole ride. When 99% of SETX can't even put together a competitive team for 1 year much less 30.

    This is the part that bugs me. WOS needs to suck it up and schedule the game. Who cares about the past....two dominate teams need a game so they need to schedule that game. If you think WT didn't have bigger things to worry about then a L on his record, then you are mistaken.
