Not sure about y'all but I see a very well prepared team executing...I wasn't sure I wanted to watch because of all the "Franklin by 30+" (I lie. I was watching anyway) Go Panthers!!!  Make it 39-4! 

Rio?????
talk about living in the past!
Prieto stepped into an ideal situation????
1. Missed playoffs in Rios last year
2. Lost to SANTA FE!!!!!!!!
3. District just fired 100 employees
4. Every Coach he hired he had to convince them their checks would clear.
5. Superintendent Got ran out of town. 
6. All kind of rumors circling around the athletic program.
7. Worst Rep for recruiting on East Side of Houston (and thats tough to do)
I could list 20 other things but I wont. Coach P stepped into that! 

Normally I would have zero hope for an upset but this AP team is just built different. They are healthy and have played well against ranked teams this year.  It’s all on the defense, their offense will keep up as always. They have to make some stops. AP will be ready, this isn’t the only opponent they have faced who run that kind of offense. Orangefield does the same thing and AP lost to them this year. It was a strange game tbh, corbitt didn’t play and their offense was one dimensional - kept airing it deep with no ability to do play action. Didn’t try any mid level passes really, that loss was on the coaching not the players that game. 
 
I think they will be ready. 

Dang good if you ask me. It sure is a good thing that Jasper finally got that silly Coach Barbay to move along so they could have some real success. 

Ah I see. Your son was being recruited as an "edge rusher" and since he wasn't being used for "edge rushing" you  assumed all his dreams would die due to Reyes scheme on defense. A scheme that just won you and your "edge rusher" son a district title in a district with LCM, Huffman and Vidor, and a pretty good chance at a DEEP playoff run. Don't worry, I am sure your son will still be allowed to "edge rush" at Austin College, or whatever program told him he was being recruited as an "edge rusher".

Yeah. First round playoff games in the slop are normal things. Often times it benefits one team over the other and has always been seen as part of the game. These decisions to adjust game times and days to avoid playing in the rain are soft as baby bleep. 

When did we start moving games due to weather? 

PNG arrogance seems misplaced. They only beat Dayton by a TD last year while Dayton was in full transition/rebuild. Dayton is still a "work in progress" but will bring quite a bit to the table that has not been available for the last several years. Dayton will have a "machine" built within the next couple of years. If PNG happens to win this one, they should savor the moment as Dayton will be a dominant force in the district in short order. 

And we are thankful for you input on the site. 

Was asked to stick around some to help out.

Stud Sophomores are already on varsity in most situations. That renders JV results worthless to everyone except the kids and parents who are involved in the game. 

Short memories on this board forget, it wasn't too long ago that Dayton dominated those golden triangle teams year in and year out. Dayton isn't the new kid on the block, they're the kid that has been down on his luck recently. The culture and expectation is there, now the play and coaching is starting to match what the community requires. Watch them become a power again....it's starting as we speak.

I do not think any setsports.com coverage area coaching staffs wait each week to read setxsports posts to get info to help game planning.

You just have to understand that there are people who always look for the missed spot on a freshly painted door.
No one is stating anyone should revere a coach, but nothing wrong with giving them a day of praise.
National Coaches Day is not just for high school football coaches.

Don’t let unrealistic expectations from others on message boards lead you to disparaging a 15 year old kid. Kid is good, he didn’t call himself top 10 in the nation. He just shows up and works and is a very very good prospect. Even in a loss last night, you could see that. Dischler is also quite the player. No need to step on one in order to elevate the other.

Great game. Wack just couldn’t defend the T and the zebras blew the bounce pass in the 4th. Eh, shake it off and get ready for next week panthers!

You could be right on all of the above, who knows. I don't know the family as well as my posts might suggest, I just know what I've been told and know their reputation around the area. Good small town folks. 

You are correct that it is an opinion piece. But the man has dedicated 30+ years to that paper that covers Orange County so I think it's a very credible opinion. He's seen it all.

I do not feel sorry for them,  ive said it several times. They wanted change. Mainly for the wrong reasons and  They got change. 

Are you aware of the term District of Innovation?  I read that most schools in the state took on that role which includes certain perks such as schedule flexibility and allowing certified teachers to teach in fields they aren't certified in.  I bet that Hardin has those flexibilities.  I also know that in certain circumstances smaller schools hire uncertified (yet degreed) people to teach while they are completing or even working on a certification. 
There is no set rules as to what exactly a coach HAS to teach.. and just because a coach is teaching something one year doesn't mean the teaching field can't change the next. Even for that exact coach.  It sounds to me that Hardin either lacked creativity or refused to be creative... because I have friends/family in the coaching profession and was told that Barrier wanted to hire specific people to coach yet was told he couldn't.  I'm not usually one to go off of just the word of a few but the coaching world usually holds pretty true to what I hear.  In my experience anyway. So if that is evenly partially true.. he did the exact right thing by abandoning ship.
