    Because I believe the regular season should mean something..Now the top four teams go into the playoffs.. Doesn't matter if they have a losing record or how many teams are in their district..Just one guy's opinion..

    The regular season does mean something.  To the top teams in the district, its a fight for a higher seed for to go further in the playoffs.  For the lesser teams, it is a chance to do something as a building block for the future.  It may be lackluster to make the 4th place spot, but some 3rd and 4th place teams to win, because they are in a tough district.

    Also, youre telling me that if Warren made the 4th place spot you wouldn't be excited, or it'd just be whatever because 4 teams go and it's not a big deal?

    If you know your schedule is going to be soft then it won't hurt to play some tough teams in the preseason.  The problem, though, is that if you have 3 tough games...and then 7 cupcake district games... then the tough preseason was really for nothing.  Playing a tough game in September means diddly squat if you played 2 1/2 months of cupcakes after that.. The one thing Hardin has done right is building confidence in their kids.  Yeah, they played cupcake preseason games but when they finally faced a team that was similar talent level (Kirbyville, Anahuac, Orangefield minus their qb).. then they won because the kids are used to winning.  Kirbyville and Anahuac were not...and I believe that was THE difference in both of those games.  Teenage kids don't give a crap about the toughness of the schedule...they care about success.  When you have a coach that says "This is what it takes to win".. then you better win.  The kids will lose confidence and lose faith otherwise.  The thing about Woodville's district is that usually Kirbyville, EC, OF, and Buna would be really competitive games.  Why schedule a bunch of juggernauts before district if there's a chance you might lose a couple district games.  You have to realize that most of these schools are just 1 or 2 injury/failures away from being a completely different team.  At the end of the day, coaches are concerned with their overall record as much as they are anything else.  Plus..coaches think about the 2nd year of their schedule as well.  Does Woodville have a bunch of seniors?  If so..how would they do against the likes of Jasper and Silsbee after they graduate?  I can assure you that there is a lot that goes into the making of a schedule and a lot that you aren't considering.  You mentioned Hardin...Tod Stark created a schedule that would "prepare" his kids for a tough district and it ended up getting him ran off.  The ONLY think Haynes did differently than Stark when he came in was butcher the schedule and pick up a bunch of games that he knew he could win.  You can agree or disagree all you want but the coach that created the preparation schedule got fired and the coach that created the cupcake schedule is currently the town hero.

    The reason I mention Hardin is because he is often criticized for playing those teams. Hardin and Woodville aren’t in the same boat though. Hardin hasn’t won a whole lot recently so yeah you’ll have to help the kids learn how to win to prepare them for district. Woodville is the other side of the spectrum. They are dominant in that district. But I do agree that 7 cupcake district games is the unfortunate thing for them. What do you think would be a starting point for the Eagles to get over the hump.

  3. One problem woodville has is they don’t really play a consistent amount of stiff competition to challenge themselves. Yes, they are undefeated. They have beaten some winning teams, but if you look at their schedules they have beaten losing teams as a majority. I’m sure not a lot of teams want to play woodville around here which hampers their success, mixed in with a district with teams with 2-3 wins on the year doesn’t help. I’d like to see them play people like silsbee, or lumberton, or even newton to see where the cards fall. Winning district championships is great without a doubt. Going undefeated in regular season is a great feat, but losing at the same point every year can get frustrating.

    Wow! you have all the answers don’t you?What kind of adult would talk so negative toward a hard working group of young men?throwing low blows towards the kids now that’s pretty low especially for a adult.Talking about how terrible The play calling is really set a fire under your ass. Lol

     

    Who would be better to call plays, or what plays should they call? Honest question. You said he’d rather lose than ask for help. So, here’s a chance for his help.

    Hardin turned the ball over their first two possessions that lead to Anahuac scores! Both teams battled hard and played tuff Anahuac has probably one of the best defensive in the district.. Anahuac should not be 3-4 they are lacking coaching! Congrats to the Hornets and way to shut the haters up! 7-1 with a chance to win Friday not to shabby.

    Ever since Barbay left, they haven't been the same.  They have some players on that team.  Should be competing for playoff spots.
