You have to have players to win, every successful team in the area who does win those coaches have players. I think this year might have been his  best coaching year with them losing all those guys from the year before..will be interesting to see how they do without McClure. Another name that doesn’t get talked about enough is Whitmire  from Buna.

I agree 100 percent. I’m just saying from what I’ve witnessed McClure was a big part of those playoff teams. Especially last years team. Whitmire always does a phenomenal job with the talent he has. This area is loaded with so many great coaches.

Foster is dang good but I think some don’t give Mitchell the credit with what he’s done at Lumberton. Lumberton was an easy win for a long dang time and I saw his guys play at Silsbee this year and those players flew around and flat out got after it, he’s actually built a program from the bottom up and you don’t see many coaches doing that these days so I think he’s a upcoming great coach who will get to pick a big job when he’s ready but maybe he just stays in Lumberton since he’s alumni. Also, McDonald from ofield is another good one I like to watch!! 

1st post here but been following sports in the area for a while. Mitchell has done a tremendous job of turning that program around. But I will really be interested to see what he does without McClure. That will tell me if he belongs to be mentioned with the other top coaches in the area.
