The Icon

Ol' Alvarez building up that resume for that future college gig.  Good for him.  I know he'll be successful at Copperas Cove

Creek is going threw a coaching change, but one of their sub-varsity teams went undefeated while the other only lost a game or two. 
Houston Austin has one of the top QB prospects in Texas.
While Sterling will be hiring their 4th head cosch in the last 5 years (Sawyer, Gaeri, Aduddell), La Porte has had the same head coach for over a decade and has only missed the playoffs twice since 2000.

No truer words have ever been spoken.
You have to have at least one "GO DADDY' to win State Championships, preferably 2 or 3.
 "GO DADDY" is East Texas for transcendent athlete.

Westerberg has gotten more out of BH than anyone in the state could have to this point. He will continue to get more and they will continue to be a solid team. But as the icon is trying to say, if one or two transcendent athletes do not transfer in or come up through the program, they will always be a 2nd or 3rd round exit regardless of how good Westerberg is.

My point is Westerberg is not winning state at Barbers Hill with the caliber of athlete that currently walks those hallways. You can be well coached, have an unlimited budget, work really hard and still not have a legit shot.
There are no Kyler Murrays walking the halls at Barbers Hill. Therefore, I maintain that BH will not win a state championship.

Kyler Murray plays for OU not BH

Good to know some area school districts and taxpayers are willing to upgrade facilities

I'd rather have Jimmy's and Joe's and get their discipline under control than have nothing but great kids but can't play a lick.  And yes I know it's very possible to have both.. insert state championship caliber teams

Also, rarely, if ever, do kids receive full athletic scholarships to play college baseball 

It's hilarious to me when anyone even mentions the word scholarship.  I blame parents but they need to realize that they just aren't out there as abundant as people think.  Just let the kids do what they enjoy doing.  If they're really good and choose to then perhaps they'll make their way onto a college roster.  If they're great then perhaps they'll get some added athletic money.  They need to realize though that academics is the way to get money.  
It's high school sports guys...97% of them will never play again after graduation and of that 3 % that do most will still have to pay for it.

They’re still waiting on him to cut that hair lol

I know.  Which is why I have this conversation as often as I do...people think that all you have to do is hire the right coach and that equates to wins and deep playoff runs.  SMH...if that was the case the same coaches would win state titles every year.  Talent plays a big part also.  I always reference basketball because it's my wheelhouse and I know pro basketball is not the best example...but Phil Jackson won zero championships without Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant in their prime years.  Not a coincidence. 

I think QB skills are developed early. Just like young kids work on baseball mechanics or free throws for basketball, the skills necessary to play QB are developed from 7th grade up. The HS staff should be doing all in their power to equip Junior High/Middle Schools with whatever they need to make the kids successful in the future. Just one man’s opinion. 

Not always. 

Apple Springs not much better than Chester 

Worst stadium in all of football
Only other one I can think of is Chester
