Yes! Those were the days. I’m sure Cleveland and Splendora miss those days too lol.

It’s a heck of a lot bigger than when I lived there. Regardless the proof is on the field. Enjoy the success Shepherd.

Not that far back lol. 2004

Don’t get me to lying buddy lol that was 20 plus ago. I do know that Gary Turner was AD for the majority of my HS run.

They have definitely done a great job there. Far cry from when I was in school there lol.

Not sure really but if I had to guess it’d be area growth. I’m sure coaching plays a part as well. Have friends whose boys played very recently and would constantly mention how much work the teams put in. Also helps when the players buy in and care.

Especially when most schools in the area have made improvements and taken steps to build programs. Case in point Shepherd, went to school there, terrible sports programs for years. Now they’ve built a solid program.

Some of us in the community are keeping our fingers crossed. I have no inside information other than what’s been posted here. Hope someone wakes up and makes a good hire.

Oh you could visibly see the lack of eFFort given by the players and some coaches. The only life we saw was the Jasper game and that was the wrong kind of enthusiasm.

Also true, wasn’t much but decline is decline. Guess that’s where the administration and community comes into play. Until that rift is fixed it will probably stay status quo.

Absolutely true and I know a lot of people looking to get into the area, more and more each year.

Several new neighborhoods being built in the area. Definitely growing.

This exactly! They had a chance to improve the district and upgrade/build new facilities but didn't want to pass the bond. I know that was not for athletic facilities but still an improvement. The bond would've added very little to school taxes. I know that people in the community have issues with people on the school board. Small town drama and such lol.

Gotta love those 5 team divisions!

Haven’t heard, apparently the decision was made late and he informed his coaches after. No one has info or isn’t sharing.

It’s going to take money, it’s no surprise that our facilities are the worst in the area. It’s going to take a combined commitment of administration and community.

Absolutely true! There’s a much better chance of being competitive since we’ve dropped but there is little to no willingness to make our district appealing from this administration. Frustrating!

0-10 Football team, 1-24 Girls Basketball, 5-15 Baseball, 7-15 Softball… Maybe not “great” compared to previous basketball seasons but in the vacuum of 25-26, yeah they had a great season.

Interesting… Figured it’s going to be someone with ties of some sort.

Same here don’t know a lot about the coaches on staff. They’re fairly new. Boys Basketball had a great year! Baseball…seems they like making TikTok videos more than playing ball 🤦‍♂️. Oh the woes of sports on the Prairie!

Hearing that DC Tenorio is applying for the job, along with others I’m sure. Anyone have any insight on him?

Facts! Sad but true. The talent we do get here quickly leave and nobody thinks thats an issue…

Believe me its super frustrating out here on the prairie! Seems to be no willingness to build an attractive program for talent or coaches. I am sure this will be an inside hire from the current staff that is still there.

Honestly didn’t see this coming! Curious to see who will take over.
