Was told at our meeting last night that due to lack of funds High Island ISD has cancelled all athletic programs.

What meeting were you at, and was it in HI?  Have talked to some parents, and they know nothing about this at all?  Can you clarify your info for us.

It's the school district's fault. They should have paid him more....  ;D

Maybe he can sue them.

and your purpose behind this statement is what?  there are alot of people (KIDS) that are going to be affected by this. 

heard that the Cards have 22 kids coming out this year. Impresive that could happen after only having a small group to even finish the season out last year.  Makes you wonder about some things that took place on the beach last year  ???

In fairness to Ms. Allen, I don't think Geno Auriemma would have had a decent record in High Island.

I believe the year before she got there, HI made the playoffs and had eight returners along with three starters coming back this past year.  From my understanding they only had SEVEN total girls playing basketball, how does that happen from what they had the year before? And in the 09 - 10 season, HI lost a playin game to West Hardin by three points.  So I guess you could say that winning in HI was starting to become a habit for the girls basketball teams?

she didn't do a very good job in HI, will it be the same in Kountze?

High Island is too far gone. I agree with previous post... I just don't see anyway for them to continue. I've also heard rumors about the way the school is being run from the absolute top ( board ).

I'm not getting into specifics about what could be nothing more than rumors, but heard there is some illegal things going on. I know they lost their AD and Principal - both after only 1 year!!! Can't be a good sign.  :o :o

you can add the supt. to the list of ones that are running the school into the ground!

any word on who they have hired?

Plus it was his and Tony's first year at Ball, can't expect success over night

word is that they have already hired someone who is experienced with six man football

Don't think that will happen, the current supt. and principle are the ones who got rid of the coaches that were there last year and replaced them with what HI had this year.  And from what I understand, not one of those coaches from last year would go back to the beach

Rumor was true, he resigned today!!!!!

I realize choosing 6 applicants out of 57 is tough. But I can't understand why you would not grant, a former H-D defensive coach with a State Championship under his belt an interview. Also a H-D alumnus was not granted an interview. Coaches Stan Hodges from WOS and Randall Birdwell from Anahauc were not given interviews. WOW! I was Coached at H-D by Stan Hodges, what a passionate man! I played football at HD with Coach Randy Birdwell, great man. Both these men know first hand the pride and tradition at H-D. No other person on that list to my knowledge, has a State Championship, only Coach Hodges. Randy Birdwell to my knowledge, was the only H-D alumnus on that list. That respect alone and the good job he has done at Anahauc, should have got him an interview.

To be such a passionate bobcat supporter...you're not very supportive.  Why don't you just trust that the school administration will make the right decision.

Also..  since you are indeed the "definition" of a true bobcat.. [b]why weren't you asked to be on the hiring committee?[/b]

Good question!!!!

Rumor is that Coach Jones is leaving

won a district title in 06.  As for this year only had 9 kids come out, then most of them failed out so no team this year.  it is getting lean down on the beach

Was a good game for both teams.  Milano jumped out early and I thought it would get ugly for BS, but they regrouped and put Milano in a bad spot.  BS did a good job on Milano's big guys, but they just wore them down as the game progressed.  Good luck to Milano in the regional tourny and congrats to BS on a great season

Milano by 5+ milano has one kid i know of for sure with a 6'5 kid who can play all around and i dont believe big sandy will be able to stop him in their man defense..
[/quote]

you can add a 6'4 kid to that as well, along with some really good outside shooting

H-D has football tradition and pride that is rivaled by few schools in SETX. It is a priviledge to coach at Hull-Daisetta. There are few better places to be on a friday night. The fans and community are committed to winning. It's no fluke we have over 520 victories and are one of the winningest programs in SETX. Those other schools you mentioned have been door mats for decades and two of the schools have been dominated by H-D for decades. Yes... H-D has had some average seasons the last 5 years, that will not take away from the countless district championships, regional championships, state championship and the national record for straight wins at 43 straight victories. Any good coach worth his weight would love to get H-D back on track. With those other schools, that's taking the easy way out. They may win for a couple of seasons, but to run out on that green grass, wearing red and black under those friday night lights is special. I work in plants across Texas as a safety manager, when talking with folks and they hear me say I was born and raised in Hull-Daisetta, they automaticlly ask about the Bobcat football team. Teams like PNG, WOS, and La Marque can relate, it's just special.

Yeah it may be great, but they would have to listen to you and all of your expert advice about who should play and who shouldn't.  The past is the past, you need to come into the real world and move on.  Or better yet, maybe you should apply for the job and maybe you can make them as great as what they were forty or fifty years ago, but then you may not be able to handle the criticism that would be placed on you when you aren't playing who everyone thinks should be playing.

Don't know the score of this one, but I do know that the winner will play Milano. They beat Burton tonight.

Chester won
