Anahuac, East Chambers, Orangefield, Buna top 4 I look for Orangefield to win district

Yes the D line and LB’ers were very good. Played their tails off in State game. IMO, Indians would have won that game if the secondary would have played well

IMO it is a similar situation to Nederland. A combination of not being that good and the coaching

IMO Dak is one of the most overrated and over paid QB’s in the NFL Correct me if I am wrong but I don’t think they make it to the Super Bowl.

I again agree with the majority of your post. The only disagreement is that all coaches do not know what they are doing. Most do and we will see if the Dogs fair better this season However do not be surprised if they are anywhere from 2-8 to 5-5. 5-5 would be a big improvement

Make sure you put IMO, even though some of your thoughts are correct, not all are, and I am certainly not going into a song and dance on what drills need to be done to improve a QB

Yes and that training could be like an A&M camp where you spend a lot of money and there are about 300 participants, with about 70 at QB and some can’t even get a rep in a 5 minute segment. Then the coaches attention is on the few that have good skills and the others don’t get much attentionI have not been to it, so I couldn’t tell you what they do

Did you watch the PNG game. The only reason it was close was because of weather conditions There were several PNG fumbled snaps due to the weather conditions yes they were playing on the same field in the same conditions, however PNG moved the ball up and down the field and the Dogs did not. But yes it was close

I am sure the coaches did drills. I could not tell you what drills they Drills should have involved footwork, handoffs, fakes, reading the defensive front and secondary coverage, throwing accuracy, etc. Also the mental part of the game The QB coach may have done these things , however he did not do a good job at these or the QB’s would have improved during the season. I would say about 95% of HS athletes improve as the season progresses. IMO these QB’s did not improve from day#1 until the season ended. A big part of that would be that they are in the wrong position, however a big part is that they were not taught very well IMO, when you have the same similar talent as PNG, but in the majority of your games, you played about as poorly as an HISD school, then it is poor coaching

Observing all games, you could certainly tell that they had trouble reading the secondary coverage, they forced way too many passes, had many overthrows, and just about lead the state in throwing interceptions That is due to not doing a very good job of teaching QB fundamentals If you watched the majority of their games, you would have noticed that for the most part, they played like an HISD school I would say the reasons were very little talent and poor coaching

The 3 QB’s the last 2 years May have been the best they had. If that is the case then they didn’t have any good ones at that position and the coaching has been poor

So has Barrow coached the QB’s the last 2 seasons or someone else. Whoever has coached them has done a miserable job, because the QB’s the last 2 seasons have been about as bad as you can get. They be good players at other positions but they are not QB material

Yes the Bulldogs have had some good QB’s over the years. Two others come to mind Steve Stuart and Don Clayton The problem is the QB’s the past 2 seasons have not been good. They may be good at other positions, but they are not QB’s. They are also not being taught good mechanics, which leads be to believe the QB coach is not teaching these players very well. Their throwing mechanics are extremely weak

If you are going to get a good QB, you better find a coach that knows how to coach them I think the past 2 seasons, they were pretty close to throwing more interceptions than nearly every team in the state

Yes, he is a talented player and Anahuac had a nice season, however the topic is Nederland’s upcoming season Again you have Barrow and staff that continues to do a poor job of coaching, so we are looking at anywhere from 2-8 to 5-5 and sitting at the house again when playoffs begin Nederland’s administrators are not wise enough to see that the current coaching staff can’t get it done

Yes, I agree Another quality thought that leads me to believe that Lamar’s athletic office and administration do not care about athletics

The information that I have always received is that Davis refuses to let his assistants coach. The pitching coach may be a good one, but if the head coach tries to do everything himself it doesn’t matter Lamar needs to get rid of Davis, even if you have to buy his contract out and please get rid of Hooks also

It didn’t take the Cardinals long to head back home Another 0-2 conference tournament showing under Davis tenure 4 errors and poor hitting again Davis coached teams are now 1-8 in conference tournaments. His coaching record at Lamar is poor also It is time for Lamar to send Davis and Hooks packing. It should be obvious that they can’t get the job done

Well it looks like Lamar made a safe trip to Lake Charles, however someone forget to load the bats. The pitching was actually pretty good except for the starter, but the hitting stumbled As usual Davis teams are now 1-7 in conference tournament play and I look for them to be 1-8 after tomorrow and headed home for the summer The interesting question is will the new AD make changes in the baseball and softball programs or will they keep Davis and Hooks and continue to settle for poor performing programs

I will only complain if they lose 2 straight. I believe since Davis has been at Lamar they have only won 1 tournament game

Doesn’t matter, basically same coaching staff, so anywhere from 2-8 to 5-5. This is not hating, just truth and reality

It’s working

I agree with you. I don’t like the idea of the tournament winner outcome either. You play all of those conference games and determine the regional qualifier with just a few tournament games. IMO, the conference champion should get the bid and do away with the tournament ( at least on all the conferences that only get 1 team to regionals)

Oh thanks, I was thinking that it was Northwestern that Lamar had won the 1st series

Looks like. 4 seed New Orleans won the series vs Lamar and that is only 2 teams at 13-11
