Jahmar Sanders from PAM, Elijah Gales from WOS? How are neither of these in the finalist?

There were no Port Arthur Memorial players on the ballot for us to vote for. According to Coach Morgan that was a mistake because he definitely sent them in back in November.

Speaking of the difference athletes can make: Dwayne Dubois is a pretty good example.  Took the program over at HJ and went 8-5 the first year, 11-2 the next, then went to bridge city.  The next year HJ went 2-9, and had a record of 14-36 the next 5 seasons without Dubois.  It would be easy to think that it was all Dubois.  But he had a special group of players for those two years at HJ, and he left the year several graduated, and also took his son, the starting QB with him to Bridge City who coincidentally, or not, had a pretty special group of athletes coming through at the time.  The year before he took over they were 2-8, but in his first two years at BC they went 7-5 and 9-3.  So again, Dubois resurrected a program with his ability, right?  Obviously he's a solid coach, but his third year at BC, after most of his good athletes graduated, he went 1-9.  He then went to HJ were he went 5-5 and then 1-9.  If he was solely responsible for those programs winning, or even a bigger factor than the athletes, there's no way either of those programs would've ever gone 1-9, yet they did when he lost his athletes.  

It is athletes. Stan Howard was the head coach at both East Chambers and Tarkington. At EC he won, I believe 9 games in his only year there. At Tarkington, he didn't win 9 games in his 3 seasons combined. 

Sanders was a human highlight reel and yes, Gales is the all-time leading WOS rusher.... headscratcher for sure

Those 2 players....Jordan Smith from Vidor and a couple other area kids are definitely deserving to be finalist. 

Was Elijah Gales of WOS not even on the ballot for offense? - him not being atleast a finalist is asinine 

With the school board looking to change the name again at the stadium, why not transfer the name at the stadium on campus at West Brook to the new stadium?
Can't think of a more deserving man to have his name on that stadium.

Larry Haynes

Any coach that was a state championship within 7 years of getting hired or Art Briles. 

Toby is old news, Briles is the man now. lol

I'm not sure I will ever get used to LCM having a coach that other teams want to poach. Its certainly a good problem to have but it makes me uneasy lol. 

Probably not, Evadale people are never happy. He did so-so with kids that were more talented than Tousha's boy. That's not gonna be good enough 

Did a great job at WOS, what was his record at Evadale the first go 'round?

Is that gonna be good enough if a district championship wasn’t this year?

I think Wilkins is going to be the AD there soon. 
 
Biden 2024

Bingo

Think 30ish and 50ish. So-so

If this chaos ends with Jason Wilkins back on the sideline, Evadale wins. 

It ain’t been to many years they had one of the best AD’s in the area and Lawrence was taking em on really deep playoff runs. I guess success didn’t agree with em. 

Tarkingto Open to the history of Art Briles...

Makes sense.  Speaking of Finney.. who is another excellent coach.. I believe he missed the playoffs this year despite his track record.  Just goes to show that it takes more than coaching.  Still gotta have horses in the stable. 

This. Beyond pitiful. Coach Anderson is rolling in his grave.

Silsbee needs to call off the press and sit back in a half court zone.
This one is over.
