Sleeping Giant???? Could be—- congratulations ✝️💪🏽✝️

Tough loss as their Fairfield is coached by the son of the man Kent Bachtel who was the reason that I dedicated my life for this brotherhood of coaching!!

Though Manvel not the power it once was, still a very solid performance by SC. Congratulations Summer Creek!!!!

Congratulations PNG, winning begets winning- very systematic!!!

Congratulations PAM, great to see SETx representing well!!!

Wow, the Shore seems to be getting better weekly! Congratulations

Yes, congratulations on a great season! Tough now but a few weeks will pass and then start to work again!

Always bad coaching- you can blame everything on the players but actually you work all week and you’ve had those kids for years and if you don’t know how they’re going to react to those situations then that is a poor job of coaching whether it’s the head coach coordinator or individual coaches. That’s why I’m so upset at Coach Sark at the University of Texas because he seems to blame arch for Coach sark calling plays that keeps him in the pocket with no offensive line. If a kid drops a wide open pass for a touchdown – – you can blame the kid. If a kid puts his head down, close his eyes and misses an open field tackle that allows the other team to score – – you can blame the kid, but Anytime you got such a big lead like that I’m sorry that’s poor coaching. And again I’ve been in that profession for 38 years and I’ve seen and been a part of Gray coaching and I’ve been a part of pathetic coaching. And usually it reflects back to the Head Coach. Sorry that that’s the truth. Coach Bear

Just drove by La Vega Stadium as they are taking metal bleachers out, must be doing a stadium refurbishment, and the team was loading onto 2 charter buses. Lavega by 14. coachbear i am going to the Fairfield game at Belton Stadium. please Sark get Arch rolling away from the pathetic offensive line- go Aggies - geaux Tigers

Living in Central Texas now exactly btw waco connally and la vega, and I reffed la Vegas lower levels vs china spring and the Pirates put a butt whooping on all levels. I rode my bike to a couple of practices of La Vega, I know Coach Hydr as he was Willie Williams sidekick forever. I critique coach staffs. La Vega is 9/10, excellent staff from varsity to jr high, old school coaches and do it hard but with love for the team. La Vega almost upset Carthage at Jerry world ( i was there). There quarterback looks like Earl Cambell and there defense is awesome. Haven’t kept up with them lately ( i was at atascocita at Dickinson last night!!ustin Great game) but I have to say Pirates by 14. I may come to the game especially if Craig Mcgallion is there, he beat us in 2 nd round in 77 at Stephen f Austin. I played for Marlin and we barely lost. The next year Craig and I both made Allstate. Brownwood, the eventual state champs beat us by seven in the first round. I met up with Craig again in the 1979 game in Fort Worth, where we both play on the South team with Erik Dickerson and Craig James. Those are great times. the only staffs i officiated that were as good were Killeen Shoemaker whose JV and 9 destroyed waco University. Toby wasn’t there but I kidded with his assistant about how se texas wants him back. I emailed Coach Foreman the next morning and we talked back and forth. He seems to like the Central Texas living— great staff also Athens had a quality staff of men . Whitney led by a young man as head was exemplary ! sorry but I critique coaching staff after coaching for almost 40 years here in Southeast Texas Hopefully Coach sark has learned and will allow Arch to use his athleticism and get outside away from his poor offensive line. Coach Sark has been a major reason why Texas has looked subpar this year. His ego and inability to look past the conventional drop back quarterback has killed Texas. Oh well, hook up horns, gig em aggies and geaux tigers as I support all three teams and I hope LSU has a good man like A&M finally did with Coach Elko. La Vega by 14

I’m not as up-to-date on Southeast Texas, but I didn’t have to rough tonight so I went to watch Crosby and Friendswood. Crosby being friends Wood was a bit of an upset I believe.

As someone who coached at Baytown Sterling for the majority of years from 2007 until 2018, the stories I could tell you about a the incompetence of the Gccisd administration including head principals ( not all of them) ( not the current AD or asst AD because they are real men and leaders) congratulations to the current team and coaches!!!!!! when Herb Minyard was fired, I was warned by one of the best athletic directors in the state ( a great man and friend since 92) that TA was being hired just to up his retirement and he’s going to hurt the team and what little of a program momentum that Herb built by leading the team with OCRich Lucero now in either Hutto or another Austin area team. I told the AD i knew how bad he was but I always felt obligated to help my young athletes so I refuse in to leave so I could protect them. Follow my substack as I will publish the information next week. There is no charge as my mother taught me to just speak the truth. If you wanna send me a personal message, I’ll let you know personally. But there soon to be an investigation against the head Cheese of that district some of his assistant superintendent and some former coaches because when you harm kids charges need to be brought.. oh yeah, they had no problem with destroying my last 15 years of coaching. Some knew what was going on, but I was the only one that fought it and continued to turn it in because I believe in Leviticus where it says if man around you sins and you do nothing, then you harbor his sin. I am not a fan of the Yeshua, I am a follower of Yeshua. There’s a big difference. enjoy the football as I’m on my way to Friendswood to watch Crosby I’mma do some video in a former players that’s going to be put on a Substack. But everything comes out in the wash and there’s a lot of evil in GCCISD that will be exposed. But that athletic Director – – the current one and the assistant ID they are awesome – – and the new set of coaches – – congratulations I got tears in my eyes because so many of the great Sterling kids when I was there – – and there were some great ones. We just miss manage them, and I am a part of it because I was an assistant coach to these idiot, head coaches and coordinators. It’s all gonna come out the wash. Coach Bear

I understand completely – – this world of Football and football coaches and hiring a football coaches is really crazy. That’s why I write that newsletter on Substack – – you need to join as I send out three newsletters a week. And encourage comments just like y’all do here on Southeast Texas. I’ve enjoyed being a part of Southeast Texas since I started coaching in Clear Lake in 1984. And especially when I became defense coordinator st Crosby a few years later. I always like the Paul Bunyan like reputation of Toby, and I remembered my hearing stories about him and Coach Hooks from Jerry Stewart at Dayton who brought me up at Clear Lake and who I as a defense coordinator for Crosby battled him a few years in a row before Larry Haynes came to Crosby and fired me. Anyway, just for your information I emailed Coach Foreman this morning early about 530 because knowing him, like me, we’re kind of alike, we’re up early in the morning, especially on game day. And I told him the truth about how well his staff and well his ninth and JV team acted while they were demolishing Waco University.. And of course, he was very thankful of that. He emailed me back and told me some things about his career and how he grew up, you know, with the blood of Southeast Texas in him and he can never, you know, repay all the great people there. I told him about my newsletter cause I think I would love to do a biography of him on ithe newsletter just to let the rest of the world know. I’m starting to get followers all over the United States. A lot of people love to keep up with coaches and the controversy of coaches and whatever. I write about the bad but also about the good because the way our country is going we need great men as coaches to develop the character of these young boys. And they are young boys until they turn 21 in my eyes. And it’s so important to catch them early as my mom would say once a boy turns 14 It’s very hard to change your character. I agree, my mother, a first generation Ukrainian immigrant with a second grade education was so wise. Again, follow me on Substack. It’s called “Fire the coach we deserve better “ pass it around everybody else – – they’re quick reads. Take about 5 to 8 minutes and please comment. And hopefully in the next few weeks I’ll be able to do a expo on Toby – – he definitely is a good one. coachbear

Good late evening, Southeast Texas Sportz. I try to report back to you from Central Texas letting you know anything that’s pertinent that y’all would have an interest in. Well tonight, Wednesday night I was the sideline judge for the ninth grade and JV of Killeen Shoemaker versus Waco University. The first thing I asked, the coaches from Colleen was if this was the high school where the Head Coach was Toby Foreman. And they laughed and they said yeah do you know him. I said no I’m really never have met him, but he is a legend in Southeast Texas. And I told him how whenever there’s a job opening that his name comes up so what I thought I’d do for y’all always give you a report on his teams because his entire coaching staff was their coaching the teams. They only have 1/9 grade team and a JV team, which is the same for Waco university who got defeated last year by Fort Bend Marshall in Waco – – I was at that game and Marshall destroyed them by about 40. and even though this isn’t a report of their varsity versus Waco university varsity which occurs tomorrow night here in Waco, but I’ll be roughing another game, I think it’s a good gauge when you see the ninth grade in JV match and you can tell a lot about a how a program is run. And seeing the results, Toby foreman is running a great program at killeen shoemaker. in the ninth grade game, Shoemaker won by I believe six or seven touchdowns. I wasn’t paying attention to the scoreboard because it was such a blowout because I was in charge of sideline with the chains. And then in the JV game, it was the same story – – it was even more of a blowout now, being on the sideline, I could see how the kids acted and the professionalism of the coaches. And I reported last week about La Vega, which lost the state championship game to Carthage and how well I thought their coaches acted and the whole mechanics of coaching, which is so important from a coaching point of view. This is what I critique in my Substack, a newsletter. I write on the app Substack it’s called Fire the coach we deserve, I review coaching and coaches high school professional in college. And I do that just based on the evidence that they present during a game or possibly what’s going on during the week. I love the fact that I’m a referee now because I get to be on the field and after spending about 38 years coaching, I know about the mechanics of a good staff being on a good staff and being on a bad staff . Just say that I was just impressed – – maybe even a little more with Shoemaker staff than La Vega. The coaches were very professional, very organized and knew how to push the kids buttons to get them excited in a controlled manner. There were more skirmishes last week when La Vega played China Springs then tonight. In fact, university tried to bow up a couple times because they were getting their ass beat, and their coaches were real quick to make sure their kids stayed in line. So anyway, just because for years I’ve been reading about Toby the legend I thought I would report on his fruits which are his younger teams. I’ll watch the local sports tomorrow night as I should be back home about 10 and watch highlights. all right man I’ll always love the Sports Talk. That’s why I’m doing that Substack newsletter and it’s free if you wanna join. I started this week. Central Texas also is big-time football. The only difference is it is not as hot and humid. It’s a little hot but in the evenings, it cools off nice. Y’all have a good one. Enjoy this weekend’s football. Coach Bear I am tired and I’m doing voice to text and I’m not gonna go back through and correct my freaking grammar

Just curious, did Craig McGallion retire? Voice to text so will be some problems. I played against him in 77 when Silsbee beat us Marlin in the second round. I know we played at U of H with a good friend of mine Todd Schoppe, who was all American and then Coach that Crosby Clear Lake with me when Jerry Stewart was the head coach. But I know the medallion family is big and Silsby and he’s my age just makes him 64. Maybe he retired. Of course I’m roughing but my hometown Marlin looks poorly. Coach and I already had someone approach me, I was the runner up in 2010 when they gave it to Willis out of Waco University and it was a train wreck. After Jerry Malone got fired Marlin‘s gone downhill. Anyway, I’m just checking on Craig – – very good guy and I met one time, his brother Bubba McGallion
