Any word on the 400 times or the pole vault results??? (Boys)

A wise person told me one time,"Be careful when arguing with an idiot. The people watching, (or in this case reading), may not be able to tell the difference." So with that I will say that Coach is a good man and he and his family will be just fine.

You are right again. And they have been so successful since my marbles are elsewhere. Support is kinda funny isn't it. No one likes you when you don't and no one likes it when you do. I can only hope the present board gets the same thing that the past board member got when he screwed up 6 years ago.

OK your right. Let the school pay the man what they owe him and let him go. Shepherd used to be a place that would honor a contract. We will see how it goes.

----------------------------------------- Actually, that is talking about the parents, not the kids. But I guess it would be OK if I set in the stands and yelled out to get that kid out of the game, or said that they were doing an injustice to the school by not telling the coach to get their kid out of the game. Its funny, last time a coach left i lost friends for my opinion against the coach, now it is the other way around. I think I like this side better.

JDB needs to answer that question! I think it has been well documented that there were mistakes made by people on the board in the past. Does that make it right to continue on the same path? Until everybody realizes that you can't turn a program around in 2 years 4 months nothing will change. When the new AD gets here he must be given the chance to succeed. He must be given the staff needed to succeed and he must be left alone to do his job. This will be something different than the last three coaches have got. Just because a board member made unwise decisions while he was on the board, does not excuse the current board. Now that is just my opinion. Good luck Pirates!!!

Did I say anything about anyones child? Unless there are kids on the Shepherd School Board, I don't think so. Also who was the successful AD? And also what would be needed for fact. I thought it was something you personally saw or witnessed. That would be a fact wouldn't it?

I'm sure its not hearsay if you have lived it like I have. So yours is hearsay, mine is fact. You have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So it is OK to come on here and spread hearsay? But when I assume that since you are from Silsbee you may have got your info from one of the two people stirring the pot, I am spreading dirty laundry? Give me a break. Fact still remains there are two members of the board that think they no more than anyone else and they think that their kids make no mistakes.

WOW, What an idea!!!

You should be on a school board somewhere. You would fit right in.

OK 2 games into the season they call him before the board to let him know they don't like the direction the team is headed. This is after the storm when 2 games have been lost and they try to get enough votes to reassign him then. They get 3 votes need 4. They second guess everything he does and have teachers and admin. that cheer them on. One of the two members will smile in his face, pat him on the back with one hand and stab him with the other. There is more than one way to get kids to lay down.

Word on the street is that the shepherd school board has been shooting the program in the foot all season long. There are two members that have been trying to undermine Coach Hanks all season long. This could have been a better season for shepherd but not with this crap going on. Coach has another season left on his contract and this school should have to pay up. Coach and his staff deserve better, and the two know it alls on the board deserve what they get.

I will go ahead and take Shepherd In this one. They put up 350 yards total O against Magnolia West had 6 turnovers and lost by 14. They got the crap beat out of them by Caldwell. Should be a good game. Hardin lost to Hull then beat Tarkington by 14. I expect Hardin to be more like M.W. and Caldwell may beat the crap out of a lot of people this year. Good Luck Pirates.

Not exactly, Shepherd is smaller than Tarkington, but Oh well.

Shepherd

Sheep, Now thats funny, I bet you stayed up a long time to come up with that. Shepherd is playing 6 sophs, and they had to endure alot this year with the coaching problems they had early on so go ahead and laugh. Sheep, oh yes that is funny. AW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS, and I know KP is playing Freshs and sophs too.

Splendora won 7-6 with run in the bottom of the 7th.

Liberty beat Shepherd 9-4 with 6 runs in the bottom of the 6th. As for Liberty and Tarkington, Tarkington has too much speed and they play small ball real well. I think it will be Tarkington by at least 5.

What do you base your above quote on. Your JV was horrible last year and if not for the big SR in the backfield last year your Varsity would have been the same. and I'm tired of people saying this is a weak District... in 2006 Splendora lost to Silsbee by 2 points and should have beaten them... and in 2007 Cleveland kept the game with Kirbyville real close.. > > > I wasn't saying the district is weak. I said Libertys JV was not very good, and w/o White (I believe that is his name) the Varsity wouldn't have been either. see thats were everyone is wrong... Yeah Josh White was a very great player and was a 4yr varstiy starter, but Liberty also has talent that you people don't even really know about... just because Liberty graduates a lot this year doesn't mean anything So did they not play last year???? Where were they? Walking the halls?

Shepherd has played both, and although both are good teams I believe KP will beat Tarkington. By the way, I have been wrong before.

It is my understanding that this game has been cancelled.

Kingwood Park has a very slick fielding bunch of kids. They made a couple of mistakes, but all in all, they looked good.
