Probably going to go 2-2 or 1-3 in non-district.

Only chance is Kountze. Might be the only win of the season. Possibly Tarkington. 

Don’t be surprised if WOS beats Carthage in wk 5

depends on the qb, as others have stated. they have a couple of early games that they could lose if he struggles to find his rhythm at the varsity level. WOS will be a favorite against them, and if HF can find some linemen they're going to have the skill players to give them a tough game as well. 

18 JR starters back for Shepherd.

what will hardin look like, when you refer to coming back to the pack?  sounds like they'll have a tough time replacing the two runninig backs lost to graduation, is this accurate? 

There is no replacing Trevor Jones. I expect Hardin will finish a distant 3rd behind WV and Newton. Not going to be any kind of playoff threat.

No doubt the Ag program is top notch at Warren. Most of these families are NOT farmers. Many in the lumber industry. Most I know commute 45 minutes to work in Beaumont. Just because you can’t see the homes from the highway - doesn’t mean it’s not there. There are neighborhoods buried in the Thicket. Most though, you wouldn’t want to go to…

I think there are deep rooted issues here. Mainly that the community doesn’t really want to be good in football. They have made excuses for so long, I think they tune out voices that try to change the culture there because it would challenge comfort and the status quo. At least that is what I’ve seen on this side of Ivanhoe. 

Brilliant insight, they "dont want to be good in football". It is priority for the community that the football team is bad. Always enjoy the great comments.

Quality of education is what put his outstanding grandfather in the position he is in now.

Million dollar NIL was not around when his grandfather was in school.

But those other 4 are not good.

CC is pretty decent. Keep in mind that Hardin is coming back to the pack this year.

OK I misunderstood what you were saying. Coaches can't seem to get the best out of all the players though. Lot of guys didn't play up to their potential. Partially because some weren't being put on the field. Defense was just horrible the majority of the year. Offense was pretty good as expected but it was questionable at times also. Critical play near the goal line against Edgewood and we hand it up the middle to a hundred pound sophomore (very talented but still young) instead of giving it to our senior 230 pound returning offensive player of the year who scored the game winning TD in the state semi finals the year before. That play ended up being ruled a fumble when that probably could have been avoided. I was very confused about that 

Only explanation is WV coaches just wanted to lose. They clearly didn’t know the players. Despite seeing how they practiced, behaved in the locker room or at school.
 

The people who really know are the folks who saw none of that but coached them in little league or sat in the stands.

Shepherd:

Huffman

Tarkington

Coldspring

Madisonville

Yes and no. At the small school level, the really good Freshmen and Sophomores play on Varsity. Stark difference than larger schools. 

Not at WV. They had a QB with D1 offers playing JV.

Dougald McDougald retired. His son had no head coaching experience to my knowledge. Really can’t compare his sons resume to Cope’s

Every HC was a coordinator before they were a HC. However, I dont recall comparing his resume with anyone.

I’m an Onalaska guy at heart ( give us football), but as a New Caney ISD hire I like them conducting searches and bringing in guys with bigger resumes. 

McDougald had a pretty good resume. Dont know much about the guy they ended up hiring.

I think I remember reading the following in the paper for Accountability Ratings -

Spurger ISD B-

Warren ISD B-

Colmesniel ISD B-

Woodville ISD C+
 

All are pretty equal. 

Is this the most current rating? I thought WV was higher than that. Still not much difference.

I'm pretty sure Woodville is above average academically so this analogy doesn't fit. 

I think Woodville actually rates higher than Warren in terms of academics.

If the young man is a good student, Vanderbilt is the place to go.  Not a fan of the political leanings of the institution, but a Vandrrbilt degree i  a quality field can set him up really well. 

NIL is probably a bigger factor than quality of the education.

It’s not a done deal. New AD has made one hire and went and got the former Galveston Ball coach for New Caney High School, so not afraid to go out on the market and find someone. 

I guess we got our answer. WF going a different route than the McDougald pathway.

I know very little about woodville…but I assure you there is several little league coaches in WOS who know more than than the HC and his staff!

I am sure. Little coaches always know more than the high school coaches.

Nope

Just Joaquin, San Augustine, Garrison, Timpson and Shelbyville.......

None of those equal Newton. All of those teams can drop back at any time. Newton is a constant.

Someone tell me which job is better, Hemphill or Warren? 

And why?

Hemphill doesn’t have Newton in the district.

Whoever did this doesn't know.

Thats what I thought. 

Anyone seen this one? Has Liberty and BC staying down. Did something change?

You can say that about about most small towns and most small towns like that all have a better quality of living.

Warren doest have the resources other schools their size has.

That is one reason it is hard for them to keep a coach.

 

Ok, that is definitely some good things about Warren. There are many things outside of football that many people value. I would be willing to bet that the kids in Warren are generally disciplined and respectful to coaches.

Didn't say it was bad I said it wasn't good.

Can you list the good things in Warren.

Low cost of living. Low crime rate. Quality education experience for kids. Quiet lifestyle.
