I know it’s the football board but Humble ISD having K Park, Kingwood, and Atascocita all playing for state titles next week is a quite impressive feat for a multi school district.

Won’t be much job movement now. Few open jobs left to fill.

Place has pretty good playoff history consistently 2-3 deep. Nice little town with hill country charm. As stated now a multiple high school district And sometimes change is not a bad thing

Give the guy a chance.

Will go to DEC and UIL will likely go with DEC recommendations.

Not sure if mentioned Center built one a couple years back.

Good hire for Lufkin. Strong football town that has high expectations and good facilities. will

Wasn’t his oc at CCVM Prieto?

That’s awesome. when I first started coaching 30+ years ago now it was not unusual for what would be today’s 4a to run an a,b,c team in jh 7/8 and 3 teams in hs. How many around here run those numbers

In regards to the hill and 6a it all depends on the numbers. King, NS, Atascocita, and SC will all be at or above 4000 students. How the uil goes about working on this issue means everything to small to midsized 6a schools. Sure there are outliers (desoto for one) just not many. 7a or a divided 6a would be interesting. Numbers do matter

Lots of money to be made off of privatized sports.

Are HS sports in decline due to AAU, travel team sports, etc. know it’s a football board primarily just interested in opinions. Article from last spring showed football participation down 14% in last decade.

The whole issue revolves around a few things other coaches actively recruiting/poaching kids from other programs parents shopping kids trainers/ aau/ 7 on 7 coaches shopping kids Sure everyone wants to win and it’s a lot easier to go to currently successful programs than stick it out in a place that is struggling to win. As Lombardi said. Winning isn’t everything but wanting to is. Sometimes much more is gained by sticking it out and being part of a team that goes from 0-10 to 8-4.

When talking transfer/recruiting snafus don’t leave out San Marcos a few years back. In all honesty most coaches don’t actively look to bring kids in(grow your own and develop them) and some well they will poach anybody’s top end kids to win. Then there are the AAU/trainers/parents who will shop their kids around looking for whatever.

KW high fits that bill
