[quote name="Trocket" post="1368504" timestamp="1359651946"] I think he'll make a good fit, but the most important thing for him or anyone is putting together a good coaching staff. I've always believed you're only as good as the people you surround yourself with, no matter how great you think you are. Every great leader understands that, be it head football coach or whatever leadership position you hold. [/quote] Ding, Ding Ding, Ding....We have a winner! Great post. If given the job, does he have the connections at the HS level to put together a good HS staff. We know he has connections at the collegiate level, but those guys aren't leaving for HS assistant jobs! On another note, you think Mitchell would have flourished under Brown's tutelage! Coulda been special.

If he has a good track record as an assistant then what does it matter at the HS level if he doesn't have HC experience? Its the BISD not the SEC, he won't be recrui...Nevermind! :D Seriously though, Faircloth had no HC experience when we hired him neither did Neuman at Ned.

[quote name="Brubaker" post="1367847" timestamp="1359484122"] One correction, PNG has by far and away outnumbered Nederland since Faircloth arrived.  They win the numbers game... but don't think they will be able to pull a win against Nederland this year.  Should get interesting year after though. [/quote] I agree with this DOG!

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1367644" timestamp="1359419127"] [quote author=Dick Vitale link=topic=108705.msg1367643#msg1367643 date=1359418561] AAW, so are you saying that he won last year with Roc's team?  ::) ::) ::).... ;) [/quote] Not really. He did win with a team Roc recruited but couldn't win with. ;) [/quote] This is what I am hanging my hat on. He prooved he could coach a talented group to play as a unit and win unlike his predessesor. So the question now is can he bring in the talent to be coached up to win or is he just not good enough in the recruiting game to get the talent.

[quote name="RS73" post="1367463" timestamp="1359376795"] Lamar probably offered him a full scholarship. Generally, the bigger schools want kickers and punters to walk-on. [/quote] Great point! Which makes no sense. These guys lead your team in scoring. The better they are the more you score so why won't they pay them?

Lamar just got a bigtime weapon! Cards can score from 30-35 out now. That's a 30+ point boost in season points if he can duplicate what he did in HS.

[quote name="mytwocents" post="1366686" timestamp="1359132631"] Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Montana the only 20-4A guy to make it on the all state defense? [/quote] Incorrect. Couron made 2nd team and Stampley made HM. So whats your point. We all know that All-State is so subjective. It is a great honor, but it's also voted on by folks who don't come down here and watch these kids. I mean Dravanti Johnson was 4A All-State Defensive player of the year his senior year, yet he was second team All-District! The folks who saw him on a regular bases got it right. The folks who knew he was a 4 star UT recruit voted on that fact alone. My personal oppinion is that Montana was a better defensive player than offensive and had he played only defense he would have put up huge numbers. That said his offensive accomplishments probably outshined his defensive accomplishments this season. Now did they outshine those of Mr. Fisk who I think is the main competition on the offensive side? My best guess is he will win one of the two awards because the voters will not want his accomplishments to go without award. If the WRS had an overall area MVP...Then it's hands down Montana Quirante.

Biggest question is will Montana Q win either award? He was the Most Valuable overall player this year because he played well both ways, but was he the best in the area on offense? Was he the best in the area on defense? Maybe not either? Maybe both? Tough call.

I would ask raiderblue to go see how many other SLC teams or FCS teams have our local talent on them now. Those would be the kids that LU missed out on because the kids at FBS schools were not going to LU! Little heads up, there aren't many at all. So it looks to me like most of the recruitable SETX FCS prospects are in the LU program. Reasons from PNG was recruited by LU this year, but liked SFA better. Not LUs fault. Kid just wanted to get away.

What has happened to Lady Raider Basketball? Didn't they used to be a local dominant force?

[quote name="rc2182" post="1364882" timestamp="1358556728"] In softball you get run ruled ,impossible to win 40-0 but Ozen and Central have been run ruled 15-0 by the likes of PNG,Nederland,LCMS,and other teams as well, after you get beat so badly you either get better or you quit.Don't take me wrong, I am not advocating running the score up in any sport ,but don't pretend the score is not lopsided in other sports because they are. [/quote] Its 15 after 3 and the game doesnt end as soon as you score 15 unless its in the bottom of the 3rd. Son it is actually very possible to win 40-0.  PNG has been up on Central 15-0 after 1 and played two more innings without winning 40-0. It's called having some respect for your opponent.

[quote name="Titletown2" post="1364406" timestamp="1358442410"] PNG runs the score up on teams in other sports, that there good at. So, I have no sympathy for them. You still have to play basketball. [/quote] PROOVE IT! I know for a fact that the PNG Softball team has never beaten the Central Lady Jags 40-0 when they could have easily. Coach Fontenot/Buchanan will not allow it!

[quote name="DJANGO" post="1364149" timestamp="1358362274"] How do you know coach brown and her staf didnt put in the secon or third string. Those girls are trying to get to austin and it will take everyone on the bench. it not fair for the subs to get in and play pitty ball either. [/quote] So did Ozen take the press off in the second half? And if so did they slow things down and just play a half court game milking the clock some. I ask this because this would be a good time to practice this. Every team needs to learn how to slow the game down and milk the clock some. It will be needed come playoff time if they plan to make it to Austin as stated above. Now if PNG just gave up, then so be it. Should never just give up. I know a few of those girls and I know they have never given up before, but I wasn't there so??

Yep...It's easier to win when you only have to put 5 guys out on the court and one of them can just out athlete everyone else no matter what the other 4 do. This doesn't fly with 11 kids on a the field going in different directions.

So what has Derrick Scott been doing the last 15 or so years? Under my breath - Please say selling used cars, please say selling used cars, please say selling used cars. :)

Cibilo will get one of the top coaches in the state from the 4A/3A level. The guy at Navasota maybe - Fedora.

Biggest problem for BISD in hiring a new coach is the pay scale. BISD pays all three HC the same, so if one gets a raise they all do meaning a $10K raise amounts to $30K. Is BISD going to do that or will they change their policy?

Correct. Westlake was able to pry Allman away from his alma mater and one of the most storied programs in HS football in the nation which he was building back into a power (Odessa Permian). All it took was $125K a year. Those schools also seem to get a lot of ex professional athletes kids!

I wouldn't call what Central plays as "street ball". They have a plan and work the plan with Wash, but watching them in some big games over the past few years it was the plan that I questioned? Specifically I can think of the Humble playoff game. Central should have won that game. Mitchell could have run for 300 yards, but up until the last two minutes of the game, Washington wasn't using him. Everyone in the stands saw it from early in the game. I walked out of the Butch that night shaking my head.

[quote name="CATMAN" post="1360677" timestamp="1357174870"] Anybody watch how u c an build a power house football team [/quote] Have lots of MONEY!!!!! Look at the top 5A and 4A programs in Texas year in and year out. Allen - Money Katy - Money Southlake - Money Lake Travis - Money Ausitn Westlake - Money Pearland - Money Cibbolo Steele - Money Aledo - Money Highland Park - Money Sure the occasional Lancasters pop through to get to or win a Title, but the above mentioned programs win regularly.

Yes. Its because he was involved in Athletics. NCAA rules govern all collegiate sports.

LB yes, but he ain't too small to play. DI Safety.

Is Wash still there?

Why do you guys keep getting stuck on 20-4A? Did Montana put up better defensive numbers than Lynch at WOS? Or how about Fisk at 5A PAM on the offensive side? Against the likes of North Shore and Laporte he put up 2100 passing and 900 rushing and 32 TDs. A good argument could be made for him. Us outside of Vidor agree Montana was a great two way threat and would win the WRS MVP, but its not just who was the best overall player.

That was the first game Doty has been eligible for. It was his first organized basketball game in 2 years. Remember he played football at Oregon for a year and had to sit out a year after he transfered to LU. If Mitchell can get 12+ a game and Doty can spell him and Minor and get 6 to 10 that's good production. Hondo (#5) looked pretty bad at point.
