I think Ken's a pretty good hire especially for this time of year. The only issue I see is him getting coaches in with what they pay stipend wise. I know Rowe was able to bring in assistants but the stipends Livingston has (had) could also persuade people there.
I hope he gets time to work there.

In the past the principal would pull coaches from practices for staff meetings and PLCs. I don't think the current principal does that (I could be wrong).
They typically have big lineman type of kids but very little speed. For some reason they want all of Conroe ISD to be in the gun. When Coach V was there he kept a lot of the scores respectable because he would grind on the clock. Sven wasn't a bad coach, but his record is reflective of the talent they've had there.
The kids and community are so eat up with a loser's mindset it's frustrating for any coach there. There's a highly mobile student population that like to bounce back and forth between Caney Creek and Willis when parents and kids don't get their way.
On the positive whoever gets the job will be paid 6 figures and get a new truck.

Didn’t end up making it to this one, but heard that East Chambers had a run for their money in the beginning they said that Hardin had a fumble on a key drive that killed their momentum they said that the sophomore did good for his first start as a quarterback took some big shots but played well. Also said #3 couldn’t be stopped and from a very reliable source that if he keeps running the ball like he is Hardin will beat Kirbyville and Anahuac at home, and is going to give Orangefield&Buna a run for their money for a playoff spot.Good luck to the Hornets the rest of the way!
I doubt they give Orangefield and Buna a run for their money. This is not meant to offend the kids at Hardin or the coaches but it is what it is. Anahuac will be a toss up and if Kirbyville gets anything positive going for them they'll beat Hardin.

I graduated from Livingston in 2017 and from my point of view from being on the team it’s hard to win when the players aren’t shown actually how to play to game! Yes we were taught on how to do the plays and all that but most of the kids didn’t know the basic fundamentals of football! We didn’t have the morning workouts like winning programs do! We don’t have specific things that we go through each season to make us better and most importantly there is absolutely NO CULTURE! We went 5-5 in 2016-2017 but that’s nothing special but was a upgrade from the 1-9 and 2 2-8 seasons! Then going to 0-10! We had the coaches without a doubt, the players are what made us have the records we had! It sucks seeing Livingston in the spot they’re at right now but it’s strictly on the players! And most people think Vanover is going to change the way Livingston is, and they’re hopefully right BUT, it’s not going to happen in 1 year, especially with Livingston! But I say 28-14 Livingston wins against Huntington!
I'll go a step further. Where is the accountability at home coming from?

Shepherd won this one last night 25-6.

i dont know what you mean. we dont throw the ball a lot. i believe the RB is leading the area in yards/td's rushing for the classification ? i guess we throw it some
What do you mean you guess? Y'all throw it around more than anyone I've seen at that classification in SE Texas. Also, how do you know how a kid has more yardage than others in the area? Just an assumption or do you look these things up? What area are you talking about?
I wish you luck tomorrow but it seems like you just talk to talk...or type to type...

hornetsdad, I just looked up your coaching staff. With as much as y'all throw the football is there even really a need for a tight ends coach?

I think part of the problem, much like Warren is Hardin has been the smallest 3a school competing in their respective alignment for a very long time. I am learning this from a few of the coaches and doing my own research but how a team like Hardin with its enrollment continues to battle up against schools just about twice their size has really blown my mind. Its not an excuse, but this misfortune one would have to endure after all these years is an uphill climb that few can win consistently. Even if having 100-180 more kids like the other schools only produces 1/4 more athletes, thats a few more than what Hardin will always have year in and year out = which I think is a recipe for mediocrity. Am I wrong for thinking that ? And yes I know there's nothing you can do about it. UIL is always the champ.
I'm going to agree with you. I think Haynes does a good job with the kids. It's tough being one of the smaller schools in your classification.

I was just talking about fun to watch they make big plays passing almost every game. Every other game I have been to is just boring run run punt run run score... but the game is over quicker.
Listen, unwad your panties and relax. It almost sounds like you coach there.
Coach Haynes calls some great 7 on 7 plays and sometimes they connect and sometimes they don't. I'd personally like to see them pound more with their bigger back but that's just me.
Hardin is the only place I've ever seen that has a banner for a 7 on 7 state championship with all the other UIL sport accolades and where the head coach brags about taking teams to the state 7 on 7 championships. They should beat the snot out of Warren. I think, however, it's going to be a different story whenever they start to play tackle football teams like Orangefield and East Chambers.

They’re 0-4 so far. Lost pretty badly to HJ. Their district is rough. They will beat Elkhart for sure. Other two wins come from Trinity and Westwood. Crockett could be but i doubt it. They will make playoffs though.
That's if they haven't already put up the shoulder pads and started working on basketball.

I'm glad Huffman was more polished again. Good job Falcons.

I'm glad Huffman Finally got back to looking more polished. It's gotta be tough for fans to see what could have been in scrimmages not come to fruition until HISD.
-
No doubt. That's a lot tougher district.
-
Now I gotcha. You're right that would be the 2nd round. That's what I get when I try to read.

not to offend Lumberton but I highly doubt they go pass the 2nd round in the playoffs. I believe they will be matching up with 10 4a. Its hard to beat Carthage
When I looked it up I appeared that they'd match up with 12 4A (Navasota, Stafford, and a crap ton of HISD schools), but I've been known to be wrong.

I think this particular thread is an insult to all the players in our district and it needs to be removed.
I understand where you're coming from, but we talk about "districts of doom" all the time; why not the other? You've got several programs who have outstanding kids, coaches, and communities and the fact of the matter is they're not typically good in football. Sometimes it is what it is.
I'll give you this though; if you can finish in the top 2 you'll probably be playing a 2nd round play-off game. If you finish 3rd or 4th it will most likely be one and done.

I think they are charter schools. I believe I counted 8 KIPP schools the other day when I did research, but not all play Football
I'd be interested to see if they have an athletic period. I know these schools are for the "intellectually driven" but who knows. I have a friend whose niece goes to a charter and they really encourage fine arts over athletics or ag.
Thanks for the reply and good luck this week.

How many of these KIPP Schools are there? I think the new Conroe School murdered one of them? Aren't they college prep schools? Aren't they Houston ISD?

I can't wait to watch some of the toothless dog fights that are going to happen during these games. I've got my popcorn ready.

The unfortunate thing for Caney Creek is what athletes they did have were zoned for Oak Ridge whenever Conroe ISD opened Oak Ridge. They actually have a pretty good coaching staff who cares about the kids but their kids struggle.
Vidor should beat them.

What’s your thoughts on this game Cat22? Routing for the Bobcats but not sure what Shepherd’s strengths are and how they stack up against the Cats.
Do you mean routing or rooting for the Bobcats?

Although, in the slot-t, there isn't a "balanced attack" so to speak.
This, sir, is where I think you're wrong. The slot t (like the other run based offenses) is very balanced indeed!
They're balanced in the aspect of being able to attack multiple gaps out of limited formations and repetitive backfield looks.
I hope BC's OC understands that more than fans in the stands.

In a lot of places when you shell the money out to "bring in a known winner" it's really just polishing a turd. Parents still don't accept the fact that their gene pool has a bigger play in wins and losses.
I completely understand the whole mindset though. It's the shiny new object that's going to solve everyone's problems and it bothers me that people are that gullible to think one person will be the catalyst for change.
To me when people take that mindset it's no different than these "select" ball parents shelling out thousands of dollars a year to win a "world series" or those that spend money on private trainers to make JR a college athlete..."I paid the money and expect immediate and long term success!"
