Don’t know who could match them. About to add the two best athletes in the district. I suspect they will open the season ranked #1 in the state in basketball as well. Will be a great time to be a Silsbee fan. 

Here you go again. The 8th grader has yet to play high school ball and you allready bout to be pregnant🤰 Let the kids prove themselves on the varsity level before you start handing out awards. I'm sure your probably right on the bball side but that football district is tough so you just can't assume that

Copy that. The “scoreboard says it loudly”. Games are 4 quarters.

Of course and sometimes a couple plays within seconds of those 4 quarters can change the whole outlook of the game. Sometimes in matchups where that happens those 2 teams can play again and get a totally different result. Then you have matchups where one team dominates the majority of the downs on both sides of the ball. Those teams can probably play several times and get the same result because one team is "outclassed" by the other.

very much true... only ones that are saying that its not is woodville fans.

Just because everybody is saying it doesn't make it true. Majority of people never thought Woodville would get there in the first place and we all know that was wrong now. Score was 7-0 at halftime before Gunter created more seperation with a couple kick returns second half.

If you watched the game...Gunter was clearly on a different level than WV. 

WV's top 2-3 could hang with anyone, but 4-11 Gunter clearly had the advantage. Not sure any offensive scheme would have overcome that.

Not true at all.

So the coach you had takes y'all further then any other coach in Woodville history going all the way to Jerry World. But its his fault y'all didn't win because he didn't open up the offense and use different weapons? Yall need someone you can utilize what y'all have? Wow no wonder he left even with the talent coming up. If the fans and community does not back the coaching staff in every way then why would he stay after taking y'all (a team that had only been 2 rounds) to the promise land. To many bleacher coaches that know better then the man and staff who got y'all there. Better hope y'all find a top coach and will put up with the experts in the bleachers or back to the bottom y'all will go.

It's life. People have opinions. If he can't deal with it then he done the right thing. Maybe people won't have opinions in Crawford. Nobody put a gun to his head and told him to leave but nobody's holding him hostage neither. Good luck to him

No doubt. The method used this past season produced the best outcome in the history of WV. Probably be better off with someone else, get back to normal. 

Last year wasn't bad at all. I don't expect we should totally get away from what we did last year. But some things could be done better and hopefully that's what we'll be working towards this upcoming year

One can only hope. Last you would want is some coach that want to run all the time like those Franklin coaches.

Everyone can't do what Franklin does. Different teams have different constructs. A balanced approach is probably best for Woodville. And it helps to be able to tweak it a little bit depending on the opponents strengths and weaknesses. We have players that can hurt you in different ways and we need a coach who realizes that and knows how to utilize it

and with that being said, we do cover more than one 3A district on this website.

When I say "local" it means our coverage area.

But you could be correct in what coach Woodville would consider.

Hodges from Shiro?

Enough of the talk about the game with Gunter.

Hearing a local 3A coach is in the running for this opening.

Sutherland? Neece?

If you think WV had the talent to beat Gunter, the answer is “not much”. WV did well to keep it as close as it was.

Game really would have been closer if it wasn't for a couple breakdowns on special teams coverage. There wasn't as big of a talent gap as people are trying to make it seem.

woodville didn't have the talent to beat Gunter.  Woodville had a great season.  great job by players and Coaches.  

Woodville has plenty more great seasons to come. Hopefully we'll get another look at Gunter in the upcoming years

Understood. Tidehaven is not Gunter. I am certain that the coaches were fully aware and knowledgeable enough to “make a couple of offensive adjustments”. They likely made or wanted to make several adjustments that did not work or they were unable to implement due to Gunter defense. I have found over the years that few in the stands have any idea what is going on through the headsets or on the sidelines. 

Your definitely right. I don't know what's going on through the headsets at all. But it looked like we basically had the same gameplan throughout the year regardless of who we were playing. Only thing that changed in the playoffs was Tay started getting more touches and by the time we got to Arlington, Gunter had plenty film on him.

Has Franklin ever beat any of those teams without a “vertical passing game”? WV was “not going to beat a team like Gunter” because Gunter had better players. 
 

The WV coaches just completed the best season in the history of Woodville. There was no offense known to man that would have changed the outcome of the Championship game for WV.

A couple offensive adjustments probably would have got us a score or 2. Those scores might have shifted the momentum of the game. That's what shifted the momentum the game before except it was a defensive score

I'm pretty sure there is a large contingent of Wville people that are happy there is going to be a change.  I understand that they got to the CHAMPIONSHIP game, but they were never going to beat Gunter without a VERTICAL passing game. They have the QB and receivers to threaten people down the field, but Ty was never going to allow that. Wville needs an offensive minded coach running the show if they think they can get back to a CHAMPIONSHIP game again in the next two years.

Yea we can definitely use a more offensive minded coach but we still want to make sure we don't get away from the toughness and things like that which Coach Rob helped instill which contributed to becoming a winning program

Must not be enough to make him stay.

Obviously. But I think it might work out better for our program and for him over at Crawford as well. He's been great for our program but it's probably just time to part ways

Just because you move from 3a to 2a does not mean its a step down program wise. Woodville just had their best season ever. Everyone goes threw down years especially at the 2a rank.

Crawford is a 2a powerhouse and looks to be ready for another run with the varsity being 80% freshman last season

2024 3-9

2023 6-5

2022 14-1*

2021 13-1*

2020 13-2*

2019 9-4

2018 5-6

2017 11-3*

2016 14-2*

2015  14-1*

102-34 in the last 10 years

they have played in the state semi finals 4 times in the last 10 years and region final 6 times

How could you not say this is not a step up?

You might have to be aware of what we got coming up at Woodville to understand where I'm coming from

If you remember there was an altercation with the OC during the state championship  some say it was because the OC wanted to open the play book up down field and he shut it down. Who knows. But I do know he doesn’t like the forward pass and to move up in competition would require at minimum a balanced offense.

Interesting. Late in the 3rd quarter with zero on the scoreboard in the state game you should be willing to make some adjustments

I was kind of curious why the step down.  Figured they usually want to step up.  

There's probably many different variables but the main reason I've heard is family and location. Or maybe Rob agrees with LionPride who thinks it's a step up. Who knows

You are not going to find what you are looking  for this late in the hiring process. 

I think there's probably some better options out there than him but if you're right I think I'd probably rather just keep it in house at least temporarily for now

Crawford better get ready for the Double Wing. They will not throw the ball down field.

I'm sure Rob will do a good job over there but yep that's probably what he has in mind 🤣 That's the style he likes to coach and might be part of the reason he wanted to go there

Historically Crawford is a step up program wise. Let's be real here Crawford was making state runs and going deep year after year while Woodville finally got past the 2nd round.

Yea Crawford is "historically" a really good "2A" program but they're 9-14 and haven't made it past the 2nd round in "2A" playoffs the last 2 years. That's not a step up.

You think the leaders are looking for a "long-term" leader for the program?

I would assume they should be unless they know something I don't
