Both programs are really really good. Heard that Franklin’s arms could possible be fatigued but not 100% on that. Definitely expect this one to go to a game 3
Told everyone we had plenty of pitching last season. Imo nothing has changed.

Not sure what to think of this hire. I know Elgin has been fairly successful under Clawson, but honestly it feels a bit underwhelming for a state finalist program returning a bunch for another run. Could be wrong though. One thing is for certain, he better listen to the OC and throw the ball enough or he won't be for long in the 'Ville!
Better listen to the OC? Who is to say he won't bring in his own OC. BTW you can win a state championship without throwing the ball. Good luck to this coach he will have his hands full with this community.

the football team is very good as well. They had a down year last year and went 9-4. adding this family to the district does arguably more for the football team, although it is huge for basketball as well.
The reason I said basketball is because Silsbee is a known basketball town. But yes they will help the football team as well.

Ok
I do agree with you that they will make Silsbee better in both football and basketball. Which is very scary with how good Silsbee already is in basketball.

He was Newcomer of the Year his FR year (Would love to hear exactly what "wild" predictions" I made). Lead WW to the 2nd round of the playoffs and their best season in program history at the time. Eclipsed that last year while giving Columbus their toughest game in the playoffs (same for Kountze in basketball). Piling up offers from every college in the country for both football and basketball as a sophomore. Go find a sophomore anywhere in the state that has done more.
What are you talking about?
I went to the WW vs Columbus game. I'm not sure where you are getting they played them tough. It was a complete blow out. At one time the Franklin vs Columbus game was 42-35 in the 3rd.
1. Columbus
2. Franklin
3. Hitchcock
4. Yoakum
5 WW

Just curious.......
Do you Coach to GET to the State Championship Finals or do you Coach to WIN a State Championship???
A program needs to get there first. If you win it on the first trip then that is just icing on the cake.

Everyone can't do what Franklin does. Different teams have different constructs. A balanced approach is probably best for Woodville. And it helps to be able to tweak it a little bit depending on the opponents strengths and weaknesses. We have players that can hurt you in different ways and we need a coach who realizes that and knows how to utilize it
So the coach you had takes y'all further then any other coach in Woodville history going all the way to Jerry World. But its his fault y'all didn't win because he didn't open up the offense and use different weapons? Yall need someone you can utilize what y'all have? Wow no wonder he left even with the talent coming up. If the fans and community does not back the coaching staff in every way then why would he stay after taking y'all (a team that had only been 2 rounds) to the promise land. To many bleacher coaches that know better then the man and staff who got y'all there. Better hope y'all find a top coach and will put up with the experts in the bleachers or back to the bottom y'all will go.

You might have to be aware of what we got coming up at Woodville to understand where I'm coming from
Must not be enough to make him stay.

There's probably many different variables but the main reason I've heard is family and location. Or maybe Rob agrees with LionPride who thinks it's a step up. Who knows
Just because you move from 3a to 2a does not mean its a step down program wise. Woodville just had their best season ever. Everyone goes threw down years especially at the 2a rank.
Crawford is a 2a powerhouse and looks to be ready for another run with the varsity being 80% freshman last season
2024 3-9
2023 6-5
2022 14-1*
2021 13-1*
2020 13-2*
2019 9-4
2018 5-6
2017 11-3*
2016 14-2*
2015 14-1*
102-34 in the last 10 years
they have played in the state semi finals 4 times in the last 10 years and region final 6 times
How could you not say this is not a step up?

Historically Crawford is a step up program wise. Let's be real here Crawford was making state runs and going deep year after year while Woodville finally got past the 2nd round.
Crawford:
665-282-33, 3 championship app, 1 championship, 47 playoff app
Woodville:
511-448-30, 1 championship app, 0 championships, 25 playoff app
Plus this move is closer to family back in Central Texas.

Pretty sure he could have left for a school like Crawford a long time ago if he wanted to that bad

5A Division 1 #1 SA Wagner (29-3) vs #2 Leander Glenn (33-3) in the 1st round.
How does this happen if one of them were district champs and the other runner up and still #1 and #2
-
#4 Fairfield 25-5 (12-0) District 20 Champ vs Franklin 21-5 (10-2) District 19 Runner-up @ Leon 6pm Monday

Franklin athletics always seem to put a quality product on the field/court… it’s pretty impressive
Next year is going to be interesting in all the sports. We are losing a really good senior class.

Bellville scrimmaged 3A #10 East Bernard last week… I didn’t get to make it But saw the score was Bellville 3 East Bernard 1 at the end of the scrimmage. Bellville also scrimmaged 4A #8 Sealy and it ended Sealy 1 Bellville 0. No one really wins a scrimmage IMO but I have to say Bellville seems to be looking okay headed to the start of the season
I'm hearing our girls dominated 5a Bryan Rudder and Salado. We still have like 3 or 4 girls that start still playing basketball. I'm really looking forward to seeing who is going to replace our pitcher we had.

Wanting a three games series would be the way to go now that semifinals are at a neutral location
