Man how times have changed in Buna... Getting this fired for up a win over 1A/2A Evadale has to bother some of the good players of Buna's past.

It was a joke! Lol

New bold prediction or maybe not.  After hearing Evadale 30 popped HJ and EC this summer, I'm saying Coach Wilkins has the Rebels back in the 2a state tournament mix.  I don't know how the last couple of guys there didn't win, but Wilkins will definitely get it done.

Buna beat Evadale by 9 Saturday so what’s your bold prediction for them now

Well when you keep making the wrong hire for the leader of the district that happens. When they get that right things will change. Lots of changes need to be made

I don't know any of the Buna players from the 60's, but they won like six state titles.  I would imagine they had a couple guys better than Kreston Richardson (no disrespect as I've never seen or even heard of him).  Rumor has it the days of Buna as a power are over and coaches are desperately trying to get out of there.

Well there was several players in the 50 and 60s that were great. Clayton Allen was 3A player of the year in the early 90s. McMahon was the star of the early 2000’s team that was coached by Jamie Harrison. Kreston Richardson was all state in 2015.

Laquarious Paige

KJ Miller

Richard Netherley

Gary Scott 

Joey Byerly

Chase Rutledge. 

 

No particular order there and probably missing some guys from the 90s. 

Marcus Powdrill

Eric Roddy

Emmanuel Thornton 

Norris McGhee( dunking machine) 

Since everyone is down on Buna, I’ll say they make the playoffs and give the upper teams some trouble. Wilson is working hard and will get the most out of a scrappy squad.

Two great ones.  You could make a case for Caesar on the gridiron too.  Little dude was a monster. 

TJ White was pretty damn good, led EC to state that year. They had a very good group but he was the man.

Your telling me that Hunter Estes is not in the top 5?

 

The day i saw them play he was only guy that looked like he had played ball outside of deweyville…. Evadale tourney about 10-12 years ago. 

Yes I’m telling you he isn’t Top 10 of all time players in Deweyville. Hunter was a very good player but he is not top 10

Deweyville Pirates.  1.  Bimbo Wilson, 2.  David Wilson, honorable mention Hunter Estes.

Bimbo is definitely in the decision, Dick Davis was pretty dang good from what I was told. Not sure who David Wilson is. Hunter isn’t even the top 10.

Good for OF!

That's not true. 

Should know something very soon. 

So you’re saying Whitmire is taking the job?

Never said that. I believe we do good. I do believe we have some athletes and kids with natural ability. Some years we have done better than I thought and some years we have under performed in the playoffs in my opinion.

I think you're taking what was intended as a complement and turning it into something else.  I saw Buna this year and they were competitive with a bunch of guys who don't jump out at you athletically.  Thats pretty standard for Buna with most teams being a little better. Lots of good players have come through there, but I don't recall a whole lot of 6'6 guys tearing down rims.  Whitmire always did more with less and that's impressive.

Yea and our district just has those guys all over the place. Your exact words were He has a good track record of taking kids without much athleticism and natural talent and turning them into good players. Tells me how you feel about Buna

Yea Buna has no athletes and no kids with natural talent. Get out of here with that ...

So what’s the inside info? Hoyt and Whitmire?

I heard the vote was 5-2 and the one board member that will have a girl on the team next year voted yes.

Yes he is throwing tomorrow from what my brother has told me. He is also allowed to throw 105 pitches now instead of 70. 

Didn’t know if they would throw him against Buna and save him for someone else. I don’t know who they have next week. If the game gets rained out, 3 games next week is going to be tough on some teams. 

If Buna and Anahuac play tomorrow is Edmonds pitching? Would like to see him throw

I’m sure it had nothing to do with school board members bashing him on Facebook and whatnot….. I’m shocked he wanted something new 😂😂. 

Well it must have been one of the other school board members that is on here then. 

I could give 2 shits what you think but when you call me out I’m going to reply. 

You were taking up for your boy Bryan and taking a shot at Wilson. That’s fine  but call it what it is. 

No your statement was that it was coaching that was the reason Buna wouldn’t make the playoffs. What issues are you talking about in Buna?
