Carthage says hello. 

Coach Brandon Shumake is leaving his alma mater Jasper High School and Lady Dawgs basketball after 6 successful years.
He has accepted the head boy's basketball job at Brookeland. Jasper's loss and the Wildcat's gain. Good luck Coach Shu, you will be missed.
 

Congratulations to him. I remember those Brookeland teams from late 90s/early 2000s. Fun times.

As to his offensive and defensive strategy, Whitmire said he’s not locked in to one system. “I evaluate the talent we have and play them to their strengths.”
What a concept.  I like him already..

GREAT HIRE!!!!!  

You don’t owe anyone any kind of explanation but good for you.  Personally, I wish you the best whether it is at OF or elsewhere.  I respect the sacrifices you guys make and all you do to help our kids. 

There are always two sides to every story.  I know a lot of coaches read this site but I am not going to sit and be someone’s punching bag on a site where people hide their real name.  I am not hiding behind my screen name.  I have a great resume.  Yes, I have been at different places but some were my choice and some were the results of politics in this profession.  Some of you coaches who stir up the conversations and hide behind a screen name, well that is why I don’t come coach with you guys.  You should worry about your jobs since you are on short leashes.  You know who you are and coaches in the area know who you are too.  Heck, I have had 7 coaches contact me this morning about the jabs taken at me on this post and they all had only positive things to say. 
(Last 5 years)
OF Assistant – went 3 rounds deep, renewed for next school year. 
Evadale Boys Head Coach – Won District Championship…tripled win total. Principal wanted her brother to be the coach.  (Turned out ok because I went to OF)
WOS Girls Head Coach – Renewed, accepted job at Evadale (basketball school)
Slocum Girls Head Coach – told girls program from Middle school to High School would not win a game.  Won 30 games overall…. AD wanted best friend as a retire/rehire to take over Girls.  Ask me to go to the boys’ side as assistant.  I ended up accepting job at WOS.  (Covid hit this year as well)
Deweyville Boys Coach – Wanted to coach my daughter.  Accepted job at Slocum.
111 wins as a Head Coach
3 District Championships as Head Coach, 3 District Championships as an Assistant
Graduate in December from Lamar as a Honor Student with Master of Education Administration Degree.

From HJ,
Molly Beavers-Powell will be going to McNeese to play softball
India McMahon will be playing basketball at Angeline
Jada Pleasant will sign soon..

due to the transfer portal, and the covid year of extra eligibility.... 2022, 2023 and 2024 graduates are in a tough spots as schools dont need as many players due to current college kids exercising the extra covid year.  
On top of that, unless they are an absolute gamer or have height, insane scoring ability (not scoring averages that come from fast break layups)  the colleges can go shopping in the portal and get a proven player at that level.
I think as you see teams like lsu womens who relied heavily on the portal succeed, that will be the norm....
Also, it has changed the D1 game as a whole, where almost all players coming off the bench roll Into the portal and find a home elsewhere.... Thats why the blue blood programs have NO bench and the mid major teams who keep their benches intact a little better are starting to find more success..

Double header in Hudson Friday night

I haven't posted on here in a minute bc the girls coverage here has been so lack luster but how ridiculous that this thread gets this many replies yet LCM’s Sophomore Keylie Washington scored 14 to go over the 1000 mark for her career gets 0

OF looks to be another example of be careful what you wish for, chase a winning coach off and you then see the results soon after.
