In my opinion some are and I'm speaking for the parents of kids that I've actually played with if that talent falls on them like their parents have.  Now if you're talking generational talent that once and awhile that comes along then I would totally agree with you as none of those former players or their children lives in San Jacinto County anymore with the exception of a few and they don't play sports.

A kid growing up and playing sports in Shepherd is typically not considered “Coldspring best players moving to Shepherd” just because the parents are from Coldspring. There is not a school in the state where many parents grew up somewhere else. There are currently no players in Shepherd that were formerly one of “Coldspring best players”. 
 

Coldspring does/has had difference makers walking the halls who do not play sports.

Idk which ones but the ones that I do know that are my classmates from Coldspring already has kids going to Shepherd now and some are already playing organized sports now.

That is not "Coldspring best players" moving to Shepherd. Plenty of former families from Shepherd in Coldspring as well. As far as recent players go, there are more examples of Shepherd players moving to Coldspring.

It's just like when the Moye family "moved" to Shepherd.....

Families are jumping ship in Coldspring and Willis and Shepherd are the logical destinations.

I am unaware of any "best Coldspring players" at Shepherd right now.

The best football players from Coldspring are already going to Shepherd. 

What is really sad is that the rest of the football players will join the basketball players in Onalaska when they start football. 

Which one is "going to Shepherd"?

Right. Didn't have any other choice but to let him go.

That would be the case any where.

I doubt the HC was even consulted about "cutting him". He wasn't going to have any say in this one.

He didn’t think twice about cutting him. Right move.

He "didn't think twice about cutting him" once he was arrested for "sexual assault of a child". Very noble indeed.

I think it’s safe to say he won’t ever step foot on a campus again…

Probably be a while before he sets foot in public.

Is this a school board problem? 

Definitely part of it

I think that this would be a good destination spot for a young up and coming coach or someone that is local that knows the situation well and can turn us around... I think someone like Ben Goffney should definitely look into this.

I believe the replacement decision has already been made.

This will be the end of Coldspring being a somewhat respectable program in terms of talent (hopefully not) and not just the things that you've listed.  This has been a long time coming since the end of the Barbay years.

Will be a tough road for the foreseeable future. 

District in the red, pending TEA takeover, no talent, poor facilities. 

LP just made a steal by hiring Cirillo Ojeda. Great coach and will be bringing an All District Center with him.

Go where?

Your ridiculous comments. Huntington is actually the better team. Their kids made the plays. That's it. It is not the fault of OF coaches. It is baseball. Great season for OF.

Has the transfer been approved by both AD's and ISD's ?

I expect it will. Doubt the HC wants to fight the District Attorney and US Congressman. Have to pick your battles.

Sorry to hear that for you guys. Maybe if Coldspring starts making some noise he could have something else to discuss

Maybe. Coldspring will struggle to win a game the next few years. They will benefit from having Tarkington and Kelly on the schedule (similar to WV having Kountze and Warren on the schedule).

His Dad was the head coach if I'm not mistaking and Hardin had athletes. They could have been successful in multiple different offenses. If Woodville continues to sink it's because the current staff is doing everything it can to make sure it does

If WV continues to sink it is because the little league coaches failed to supply the high school with sufficient talent to win. Might be time to get some new coaches in the little league.

It's mostly coaches who are shopping their kids around who end up bouncing around like that. 

How do you know? Do you have information on the coaches who switch jobs that do not have kids that play? Coaching is a volatile business where you can be fired as soon as the right local gets offended. Coaches should do whatever they feel is best for them and their families. 

**I once saw a coach take his team to a state championship game for the first time in school history only to have community turn on him and question his coaching ability. He promptly left for greener pastures.

There are two kinds of coaches: coaches who have "been fired" and coaches who will "be fired".

8th grade: Hardin

Freshman year: Anahuac

Sophomore year: Rusk

Really good high school players sometimes don't receive D1 offers for different reasons. Some don't show up at as many camps as others and when they do they might have a bad day at the camp and not look that impressive. Some don't participate in powerlifting and track events that some scouts use to verify strength and speed. Some don't have a lot of film readily available. Some just don't fit the "measurables" that scouts look for at certain positions. Some have bad grades or test scores. Lot of things have to get checked off for D1 offers most times and the best 3A high school players don't always hit all the checks. I'm sure Jones can play somewhere although it may not be D1 and who's to say he doesn't end up at a D1 after a couple years at a juco or D3. It's happened before  

Josh Allen is a good example.

I dont disagree with this statement.  In the same breath, I can give you a list of "player" who received D1 offer and was not voted as the District MVP unanimously by every coach.   Yet, the MVP will be sitting at home next fall and the "second place guy" is going to be suiting it up for a local D1.  So, Yes, i completely understand your sentiment. 

OL particularly receive offers based upon “size” and nothing else.

Has happened both ways. Many people would rate Chavis McCollister among the greatest high school players of all time. Yet, he received little to no college interest.

Or you could shorten it to... "me" and then we will all know that you are referring to your pathetic, little self. 

Ok, I will do that.

The only person who is hurt is obviously you. Cause only a pathetic, little man would use the word pathetic to describe kids and their abilities... names or no names. 

Thanks for the illuminating response. I have just had an epiphany. From this point forward I will no longer utilize the word “pathetic”. I will now utilize: “completely incompetent on a football field”.

Only thing pathetic is your use of the word pathetic when talking about kids... 14, 15, 16, 17 year-old kids! Makes you sound like a pathetic, little, little man.

Cry me a river. No kids are named and no one is hurt.
