Correct… but no one said they were unbeatable… just that they would be favorites 

That's cool

I know it was just 7 on 7…. But based off what happened last week at the state 7 on 7 and Matt being there then he probably got a good view of what they have skill position wise… Hopefully we will see… but solid chance these two ain’t playing in the state semi finals.

They almost won 7on7 last year also. Doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be unbeatable.

JMO but whoever wins R3 will be an underdog to Tidehaven in the semis (if they win R4 which is no guarantee)....Tidehaven returns the house

That's your opinion and it almost makes sense but your probably wrong again. #2 was the house and he's gone. Good bit of the exterior of the front 7 is gone.

Give me Woodville going undefeated into the playoffs. Yes I said it. It's time to put a stamp on the program. Not saying that Newton won't be Newton, but who cares. Just stack the box on them. Everyone in the world knows that they can't throw more than 2 yards downfield. It's Woodville's preseason and district to lose against any and every opponent they face! 

Newton returns the whole defense. We'll have a whole fresh set on the OLine. That'll probably be a tough match up.

Woodville will have a good season. My prediction is we will finish 8-2 (loss in nondistrict and Newton) our District is weak after Newton and us).  Possibly 9-1 if the ball bounces our way  

What was Coach Robinson’s record before Woodville (was it impressive)?  If you applied all your previous comments about the new guy to Coach Robinson (before Woodville hired him) you would have been against Coach Robinson being hired. 
Let’s see where the next 2-4 seasons go. 

I don't think we'll lose any preseason games honestly. Coach Rob was like 32-42 or something which is a little better but would still not look like a great hire to me if our program was where it is now back then. Our program wasn't all that good back then and the previous candidate had changed his mind and took another job so we had to take what we could get. Just happened to work out well.

Trinity returns a lot

I’d say no one challenges either Newton or Woodville in district 

Probably not but there are some other teams that might surprise. Trinity being the main one I'd keep my eye on

What’s your early season prediction for the Eagles ?

I like our chances to finish top 2 in district possibly challenging Newton for the DC and probably getting a rematch against Newton in the Region 3 championship. I think whoever wins region 3 has a good chance to win it all but I got Newton as the favorite in region 3 right now 

Woodville Eagles are heading into 2025 with a new HC after losing coach Rob who's been the most successful coach we've had. He's been replaced with coach Heath Clawson. Coach Clawson's head coaching career hasn't been super impressive but he's had a couple good years as an assistant at Aledo and I think he has some ideas that may work pretty well for Woodville. 

Clawson hired coach Clay Mayo as OC for 2025. Coach Mayo's resume doesn't look that great other than a year or 2 at Summer Creek but his son will be a good sized sophomore who might be able to help us out up front. 

Clawson also landed legendary coach Bill Hoppers as the 2025 DC for the Woodville Eagles. Hoppers has around 60 years coaching experience. Had a ton of winning seasons at A&M Consolidated and Navasota. Also has 6 state championship appearances and 3 rings. Would have loved to have him 10 or 15 years ago when he might have had more energy to put into it but we'll take him now as well.

Woodville retained 2 or 3 assistants from last year's staff and hired a couple new young coaches I feel pretty good about as well. 

Woodville players and coaching staff are ready to roll for 2025. Go Eagles! 🦅

Was thinking BH returned a QB from last years squad?  Does Barrier fit into this as the every down qb or is it a split role? 

 

Not everybody.  I think AP will still have some pieces to work with and be competitive. 

Maybe one or 2 but a lot less than last year. Last year was supposed to be Anahuac's year honestly but I guess things happen. OF's the favorite followed by Hardin but I wouldn't completely count EC out even though they lost their QB

He is at Barbers Hill. Both are at BH.

I figured he would leave. Everybody else graduated

We play real ball not flag!!! May not be this year, but going back to Jerrys soon.  Mark my words!! Multiple starters not playing etc.

Understood. But 7on7 helps improve your passing game and secondary play which normally comes in handy playoff time durring the season. Would've been nice to have everybody there to get good reps in against decent competition but oh well. Definitely got something to work with but got a lot of work to do 

Woodville lost C/D championship to Wolf City. Score was 19-18. Sounds like a decent showing but still got a lot of work to do.

The more I look at his footage that's out there the more I believe he'll be playing DB. 

 

Maybe backup QB?? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Im thinking DB cause I think that's where he's being recruited for the next level. He's a pretty good QB in my opinion also though 

Good hire for the eagles. No where to go but up for the bball program after whatever that was last year

Everything I’ve read says there were only 2 choices,do a tik tok challenge or do a workout?

I wasn't referring to the options given to the kids dude. I was referring to the options of areas available for him to have the kids do the exercise in.

If you are saying that a grass or dirt field was another choice, then common sense was definitely not used in this situation.

Never said it was. Just pointed out the hypocrisy of pointing out someone else's lack of common sense meanwhile suggesting turf which isn't much better

8 minutes ago, AggiesAreWe said:

If I have to do bear crawls and my only two choices is do them on is an asphalt track or wood chip filler turf, I am taking the turf each and every time. But I have common sense.

If I am a coach and my choices are an asphalt track or a wood chip filler turf to have my athletes do bear crawls on, I am choosing the turf. But I have common sense.

FYI, Woodville ISD and any other schools that have the wood chip filler turf fields have to put water on these fields regularly to keep the wood chips from getting too dry. This keeps them cooler than the rubber filler turf fields.

I am 100% certain that the field at Eagle Stadium was cooler than the track that day.

There's more than 2 choices

You are right, all the people on this site are weird except for one. I am glad I am one of the weird.

Good for you 👍

Now you just sound like your trying to point fingers or lead the convo elsewhere with your  unnecessary points to try to disqualify common sense.

i played both sports and coached both sports….that’s irrelevant….doesnt take a football only guy to understand HOT + FLESH = BURN…..a 2 year old learns this pretty quick in life. So nice try.

i can see this is going no where.  ✌️ 

Trying to lead the convo elsewhere? Looks like your just getting upset about points being made about a topic you claim you have no ties to. Yall weird on here

Turf does not  get hotter than asphalt

Says who?

Well I never heard of it and I ve been around the block…..maybe it’s a woodville thing.

not sure if your referencing others but I never once said anything about turf.

I was at la Porte in mid 2000s when we got turf and yeah it felt like my soles on my shoes were melting off.  

I think your probably a bball guy and bear crawls in general are more of a football thing anyway. The guy you quoted was suggesting the field next to the track which is turf. 

19 minutes ago, 5GallonBucket said:

In all my years of playing and coaching I ve never seen or been part of a program that had athletes do bear craws on a track.  

It's not the most popular thing but it's not completely unheard of. My point is a track is not a good idea but turf is not much better. So pointing out a lack of common sense while suggesting turf doesn't make sense to me

Was it several girls at Caldwell (like WV)? 
 

Also, whether the turf is hotter or the same is irrelevant. Enjoy your irrelevant analogies. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next.

Bro I really don't feel like even entertaining you because your motives aren't genuine at all but to answer your question there was only one girl complaining at Caldwell because there was only one girl participating in the exercise. Meanwhile there were 10 complaints about a bear crawl incident in Crandall a couple years back.

With 100% certainty? No. But I do know many teams do bear crawls on their turf fields and I have never heard of any athlete complaining about getting burns or blisters from the turf.

The likelihood of someone getting burns or blisters from bear crawls on a track are much much higher than doing that on any turf field. I think most folks would understand that difference.

But I see that if one person got burns or blisters from bear crawls on turf while 100's got it while on a track, you would see it as the same.

The point being, if that activity had to be a choice, then it would have been much more sensible to do that activity on the field and not the track. If you cannot see that, then I can't help you.

Athletes don't always complain about these type of injuries. That type of behavior is just not encouraged in athletic circles. You know that. Mothers don't always take their children to the ER for burns/blisters and if they go to the ER they're not always referred to the burn unit. Scenarios just don't always play out like this but if they did lots of coaches would constantly be in trouble. There was a 7th grade girl who publicly complained of 2nd degree burns she got from bear crawls on a turf field last April in Caldwel though. And turf gets hotter than grass or asphault regardless of what type of filler is used by the way
