A lot to a little. There can be brighter days ahead for the Falcons, but I do not think this will be the year for those. They begin next year when this Sophomore group becomes Juniors. The Falcons have to get the athletes walking the halls back out in pads, and there has to be a full culture shift around the program. Football tends to be an afterthought in the community and the only way to fix that is to drum up excitement about being a Falcon. It can be done, but will take lots of work to build what needs to be built in Huffman. Do you disagree with that or see something I do not see? 

We can.

As you can see I haven't left completely. Was asked to hang around a little and I will be keeping up the basketball forum for sure. Had several local basketball coaches ask me to do it.
I have all the confidence in the guys who are taking over some of the roles that Grad and I used to do here. In due time I will be no longer needed and can really retire from here. I am enjoying the lesser responsibilities. More beach time for me.

Best thing Smoaky has going for them is when you return to a topic you've already reviewed, it will automatically take you back to the spot in the thread where you last left off reading. It makes going in and out very convenient. 

Nice first game for the sophomore. 

19-39-0  301 yards   3 TDs

So your argument is your son played D3 and another son walked on at UIW because their high school coaches didn't do enough to promote them? I swear, some of you guys clearly don't understand how special a talent has to be to sign a D1 scholarship for football. 

Taylor's return to the "House that Taylor Built", the rig. Should be interesting but I've got Colmesneil by a lot. 

14.2 is my entertainment as I watch the phased evolution of his outlook.
Phase 1 - Doubting that the coach can walk and chew gum at the same time
Phase 2- Screw it we’re moving to Dayton this is BS
Phase 3 - Meet with Coach and he’s ….ok maybe we win 2 games
Phase 4- (current phase) Recruiting season begins and kids from around the state flock to Crosby.
Phase 5- (entering this phase) Practices begin everyone is huge, fast and better than any team in the past. We might just win 5 games
Phase 6- Beatdown from King lowers expectations, but King is the best team in the country so who knows
Phase 7 - plays well against FBM …. We may just make it to state …hell yeah

Phase 8- (Final Phase) beats Lee to death then gets embarrassed by BH at home. 14.2 exits the board till playoffs.

And I saw where Squirrel Williams was back in C-Town as the RB coach. That's gotta be kinda cool for everyone. 

Brady Barrier will be a sophomore at Rusk HS and will play football. His father is Coach Ned Barrier and will coach on the offensive side.  I am Nathan Barrier (Pap), Ned's father and Brady's grandfather.  I began coaching in 1971 and am retired.  I encourage Rusk fans to buckle up & hold on tight.   

Yes Dayton lost a lot, but that had one in the stable rehabbing from a pretty rough injury most of last year. Ashanti Allen Jr. Remember the name. 

Yes, the guy who righted the ship as it was sinking. A few alumni hires to fill out the staff at the last minute, and BAM, the new coach is a genius. I'm sure he recommended the alumni who were hired. 

Ha right I can see wanting to follow around to play. That is cool and a big congrats,  but his slot value is far from retirement values.  My gut is the talent just graduated and the writing is on the wall though.  The girl that graduated last year that is going juco is probably the best player tI come through there right?

Seriously though, local HS sports coverage in our area will suffer due to losing your coverage. We all truly appreciate the dedication you've shown over the years and we are excited for this new opportunity for you. Hopefully the next gen is ready to step up and grab the torch. If this site has taught me one thing in the past year or so, its' this, you don't know what you've got til it's gone.

I mean they kind of are...nine state titles in fifteen seasons would qualify as being the Gods of 4A football IMO

This is a "non-discussion". Carthage will win the next 3 Championships. Give them the trophies now. They will not lose with what they have in the school for the next three years. 

LOL. Clown!

Or how their kids act at school/practice.

If I was Coach Willis, I'd tell this guy to pound sand, screen shot all these DA posts from this site, and tell him to take it up with the UIL.

It's hard for me to believe that someone looks at the WH football program and thinks, "that's where I need to go to build my name". 
Taylor did as good with them as anybody could, and his upward progression was Colmesneil. 

Ex: I just talked to him for about an hour to see if I could clean PAPF and I told him I don't think Crosby will make the playoffs or be very successful in the offensive system he runs.
Lmao!!!
