Tarkington continued their roller coaster play. Beat Porter fairly easily in first two sets then manage to lose two sets and fall 5 points behind in the 5th set only to comeback and win 15-13.

I think Splendora is a definite move up to 5A
Also Tarkington and Shepherd will be on the bubble depending on how far the line moves

Tarkington on the bubble. Shepherd is moving up. Incoming 9th grade for Shepherd is massive.

Someone with a subscription tell us what it says

May be Hardin and Tarkington this year…

He was already there as Interim so he will just continue as normal from this point forward. He's going to have to get moving quickly on getting assistant coaches hired. 

For starters. It needs a LOT less Karens!!!! People used to like it here because it was old school. Conservative people with conservative values that let the school discipline their children then the parents disciplined again at home. These days, everyone is so SOFT!!! All these move ins are only making it worse.

You never know. If Tarkington were to get some momentum, the destiny can change. It will take a little time and a strategic plan. Hopefully the community will support the new coach and give him the time and flexibility to implement his plan.

If he decides to answer, please let me in on what it is. Sounds like some people were questioning him around here even though he was making great progress in such a short time with alot of other kids. If he's really concerned about the loud minority's opinion then he's going to hate Hardin. Because at least here he had enough talent to beat bad teams. There he doesn't have enough talent to beat anybody! He's done some really good things out here in a year's time frame. and will be missed by the majority.

Yeah it's gotten a bit ridiculous on the EVERYONE gets a trophy. Heck I even got questions on the hometown 1st team picks. The best player for Tarkington is on 2nd team and a bunch of kids that averaged single digit points per game are on the 1st team. Also how does anyone from a non playoff team make 1st team unless they were truly dominant? This list looks a lot like you scratch my back and appease my parents and I will do the same.

Sure no problem. This is what I could grab quick. I’m at a track meet.

Two starters coming back, one’s a freshman and one’s a sophomore. 5 difference makers coming back from the bench. 3 sophmores and 2 juniors. Won’t be deep but top 5 or 6 should be solid. 

Thanks! But I can’t help but feel like we left something on the table this year…
Barring any big injuries or move outs the next few years are very bright for this group. Earliest prediction ever, Horns win their district next year!!!

If you do, cheer loud for those Horns!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Y'all and New Waverly are the only teams in the district I'm pulling for so get it done!

I agree. A district champ should always host the 1st round game.
