LOUD and Proud

Hearing Brandon Craus is coming back as the OC?

Any truth to this?

Definitely not. That building is the newest school in the district it was opened in 1972. My parents, who are in their 80’s, attended both middle schools and one of the elementary schools. 

What is really sad is Livingston has built 2 High Schools and a Jr. High since that was opened in '72.

This won't make you feel good. Livingston freshmen stomped both schools. It could be ugly.

Not a real good indicator. Livingston has a good freshman group, but the Beaumont schools are usually not very good at the 9th grade level because the Jr. High coaching is a little suspect.

Here's my prediction for 6A.

Cut and paste Padilla much?

Couldn't get much info except that either all head coaching positions will be open for outside applicants or none of them will.  I say open them up and see what happens...

Definitely need to open them all up. Even if the basketball job is a foregone conclusion. The football job needs to see what kind of applicants it can attract.

Then why wasn’t he hired last year? Think he might feel a bit burned? 

That's why i said, "if he want's it."

Strickland has 2 as DC 1 with Carthage and 1 with Henderson. It’s not like Nick Saban or Kirby Smart are knocking down the door to apply , I’m sure the list will be bare minimum

Strickland was in the final 2 last go around, I would think it would be his if he wanted it. Unless a Barbay decides to throw his name in the running, then that's a no brainer.

Brock is just too dang physical.

D'oh!

Be careful what you wish for.  The downside is that it might be a little tougher to lure in a top candidate after the way that the board treated Fedora.  I mean, if they'll run off a coach with Fedora's after such immense success, it just seems like a really hard place to be successful whether you win or not.  

Because of those circumstances this will become a stepping stone job instead of a destination job.

I chuckle every time someone mentions running off Fedora.  

Fedora had one more year on his contract. Meanwhile, other educators’ contracts were ending at the end of the school year. Was it wrong to handle the more pressing contracts? 

Meanwhile, I get it. Fedora was successful... Could the school board have handled the situation differently? Probably. 

Again, Fedora is where he always wanted to be.

Yes, but it should have been a rubber stamp on Fedora based on the success he had there.

I don't put a lot of stock in Matt's projections, especially for the 4A and below.

He should not make more than the principal. Just my opinion.

Carthage got a $33,000 check from the UIL after the State Championship game last year. I think Suratt deserved that $25,000 raise.

I think the L-train will be favorite still in district. I don’t  know if Navasota is returning any wide recivers or not but if they have any of them coming back from last year team those guys were good.  

I think Livingston replace Navasota in this District, which makes the road to the post season even easier for the Raiders.

I really think Wimberly plays right into the Mustangs strengths. 

WOS will be able handle the big offensive line and stop the running game and get great pressure on the QB.

WOS has great athletes and cover skills on the back end to stop the passing game.

Wimberly will struggle to stop the power and speed of the WOS running game.

How about this......

Was wondering where Bellville and Madisonville go?
