Most coaches will not seek to be in an environment where they are not valued by the community. If they are not paid well and have the worst resources it lets a potential coach know where the district values lie.

Tarkington been changing drivers for a while with similar results. Time to look at the car and crew chief. What is one positive thing that Tarkington can offer to a potential coach? Poor pay? The worst resources in 4A for the entire state of Texas? Talent deficit?

Yes, Tarkington "just hasnt got the right coach yet" (for many decades), similar to "Huntington". FYI, Tarkington has a great coach now. You might want to look internally as opposed to blaming every coach in the history of Tarkington ISD. ***Who was the coach prior to Belt? Is he a good coach?

You dont "out talent" Shepherd at the moment. It will be worse next year, 18 JR starters will be returning for Shepherd.

Good for you. Win/loss in sports is directly proportional to talent. Check out Tarkington when you get a chance.

The current personnel are the worst seen in several decades. They were that way before the current coach arrived and everyone knew this would happen. FYI, when the current freshman arrive on varsity, Jasper will be good again regardless of who the coach is at the time.

Yes, double wing.

No wing T in Shepherd.

Yep, bad for everyone. Takes a special type of coach to take a job in Tarkington. Low on the pay scale for the area, terrible resources and no end in sight.

Tarkington is fortunate to have a staff.

West Columbia is the district champion playing a fourth-place team that has never won a playoff game in 4A and is the overwhelming favorite. WC should start planning for Sealy.

Will be present and supporting WOS on Thursday in New Caney.

Shepherd VS West Columbia Nov 14 @ 7:00 PM Maddry Stadium, Channelview

Congrats to WOS on the Championship but also credit to HF for making this one close. I thought WOS would have won this by a much greater margin. Good chance for a District sweep in the first round.

Agreed. Stop making comments about past alignments.

Center would love that

Tarkington and Huntington were not in that district.

I suspect Shepherd and Tarkington would likely go to the Bellville district or a North district could form again. Keeping in mind that Hitchcock will be moving up and into the district with Lamarque and company. There are a lot of moving parts.

Be interesting to see how the districts shake out if all 3 stay where they belong and especially if OF bumps up.

This is the driving factor. Should provide cumulative relief system wide. I expect the drop to be much more dramatic at the next alignment.

You have no idea as you were not present with the kid throughout the journey and have no idea what factors were in play. It is very bold and arrogant to say that you know better than a child's parent. And even more ridiculous to say you know more than this kid's parent who is well experienced coach intimately acquainted with every detail pertaining to his own kid.

You know more about what's best for the kid than the kids dad who is a long-time coach? I think I would defer to the parent for "getting the most out of their kid".

1000% Coaches do not tackle, block, run, catch or throw. Cannot win games without the “dudes”.

It is all frivolous discussion. WOS is not going to lose this game. They will win handily.

89Falcon was about to jump as well.
