[quote name="soonerbeintexas" post="964164" timestamp="1297368908"] I understand both sides of this issue as well. Folks, be prepared...this is not the exception any longer, it is becoming the rule. In an effort to tightnen up the purse strings, schools are taking some gut-wrenching, unpopular measures. It is unfortunate to say the least. Much wisdom is being lost in the process. Great coaches and teachers are being riffed without replacement, or being replaced by less costly employees. This is not just a Texas trend, but a national trend. We are in the midst of a deep recession (regardless of what governement mouthpieces tell you otherwise), and good folks are reaping what corrupt folks have sewn. What's happening here in our state is a microcosm of the larger, national picture. Saying that "trained", younger folks is a wonderful solution to the problem is so over-the-top offensive that it hardly merits a repsonse. However, to make a point, I will opine: Blanket statements suggesting that all older personnel educate by saying “just open you book to page 320 and read, test on Friday” shows lack of understanding on the issue. Many wonderful, teachers, coaches are much more than educators...they are MORE IMPORTANTLY mentors to some very troubled kids. It's hard to understand what a mentor is unless you've lived [i][b]for [/b] [/i] a time and [i][b]through[/b][/i] some times. I have respect for old and young alike, but when I need some wise councel, I go to the one who has the experience. Incidentally, wisdom may not come with age, but it most certainly comes with experience. If education" is the end-all, then by all means, let's fire every teacher and let the computer itself teach the children everything there is to learn. After all, isn't that the trend..."facilitater", "guide to the side", and other overused catch words and phrases coming from campuses near and far. Teaching is much more than disseminating information whether through a textbook or via the current technology, which changes faster than schools can afford to update it. We are in trouble in this business and many other government-run businesses as well. Raising taxes at this time will only crush consumer confidence and small business entrepeneurs alike. If a tax hike was fiscally savvy, then why did the Obama administration agree to do something it said it never would...extend the Bush-era tax cuts? Until we hold government officials accountable for ill-advidsed and out-of-control spending habits, and tighten up our belts at the same time, we may never see an America that looks like the one that our founding fathers and so many others like them have fought to preserve. Best regards to two fine people and all others like them. You will be missed by your students. [/quote]Good post ! If you would run for public office I would vote for you for sure !(your probably too honest to make the cut )  Unfortunately people have become comfortably numb and now will reap the benifits of a criminal two party system that commits economic treason only to be bailed out by pointing the finger at election time ( works everytime !)~ Meet the new boss same as the old boss ~

[quote name="dayton" post="934830" timestamp="1292609974"] [quote author=bronco pride link=topic=77344.msg934823#msg934823 date=1292609650] So your argument is take away aledo's two best players and see what happens. I think the same can be said for any team in texas. Do you think LM would be here without their qb E. williams and tim wright. I knew lake travis was without their qb didnt know about the lineman but the point is aledo still beat a team that is probably the best 4a program in texas. [/quote] right.... but you reference the 3 year streak  of LT. To me it sounded like you thought LT was at their best when Aledo beat them. your top QB and WR plus and OL is a huge loss and changes the chemistry of the team at the very least. Aledo is a very good team and they've proven that... but if you're gonna use the LT win as a point-prover, it just doesn't hold water. It was a really good win but not much more. good luck to both. i hope lm wins. [/quote] good post !

[quote name="SFA85" post="930950" timestamp="1292086786"] As the group Talking Heads once sang, "Same as it ever was....." Like I stated in another thread when the bulk of you were poo-pooing LM's chances of beating Dayton, the Coogs based on their tradition, had a better chance of winning their 6th ring before Dayton wins their first..... [/quote] I would think there is enough Dayton fans pulling for LM so not to worry about poo-pooing !

LaMarque is loaded with playmakers on both side's of the ball don't think Aledo will be able to keep pace ! LM 35  Aledo 21 ~

I didn't see a taunt - nothing out of the ordinary !

Good job Coogs ! ~ One more ~

[quote author=BRONX ROX link=topic=77151.msg929547#msg929547 date=1291936636] AH will be the starting QB next year no doubt so like it ;D Marcain will backup and play some DB / WR. The coaches are eyeing the fresh QB Bohannon but wait till the littlest McBride (8th grade QB) hits the field. [/quote Is he bigger than his little big brother !

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="929357" timestamp="1291920368"] These young men have been beastin all year and proved they deserve a change to play at the next level for a big school.  I also wil follow these young men on Saturdays... Congrads! [/quote] Good ! The Jayhawks need all the help they can get ! :)

[quote name="bronco pride" post="928935" timestamp="1291849555"] Well five rings i have to say we got out coached and outplayed. Im not a sore loser and just to show how much of a good sport i am we will trade you quarterbacks next year. [/quote]" bronco pride"  Really don't believe your a true Dayton fan maybe from BH,Crosby or Dayton's backup QB family member. How do you figure we got out coached ? LM was loaded with wall to wall 5a talent and we were only down 6/0 at half from a hail-mary pass. This game was closer than the score with a drop pass in the end zone a coulpe of other red-zone blubbers and this would of been a good one. Hat's off to LM they have a great team and earned the win , but it wasn't on our QB and coaches .

[quote name="bronco pride" post="928031" timestamp="1291741019"] Just wanted to say thanks to the broncos for another great year. I think next year should be another easy run through discrict. I know we have alot of holes to fill on the defense but im sure they will be filled as usual. Im hoping we can find somedbody to compete for the quarterback position it would be nice to have someone at the position a little bigger and more athletic. With Mcbride and jak at running back and all our receivers back scoring points should come easily. Thanks again for a great year. [/quote] Great year Bronco's ! Thanks for all the hard work and dedication we as fans were lucky to wittness such great football ! Good luck to all Seniors - thanks for the ride - you will be missed ! I like our QB  A.H. ( remember Livingston) he's got the mental skills and arm to lead us for another deep run ! GO BRONCO'S ~~~~~~~~

Good Job  LaMarque ! - Now take it to the next level and bring it home !  ( Bronco's will waiting for ya next year )

[quote name="bh89-2" post="925130" timestamp="1291413190"] The reasons BH will win district are as follows: 1. BH has more talent returning on both sides of the ball than does Dayton. 2. Dayton is losing almost every key player, except the QB and he is not as good as either BH QB. 3. Deny is going to be a Div-1 athlete.  Townley is talented enough you could see a two QB system next year. 4. I expect Townley and/or Deny will play some defense next year in situational circumstances. 6. BH's O-Line and D-Line will be bigger than any other district team. 5. Dayton and BH will be the best two teams in district and BH will be better. Last but not least, because I have a crystal ball.   ;) [/quote] Dayton's offense will be loaded ! RB's Delesbore(D-1) and McBride will dominate  the ground (D-1) WR Fowler and friends  will dominate the air ! And the defense - well thats Stewarts  favorite pass time !  Stewart gives out crystal balls to his players instead of jaw breakers ! :D

[quote name="FriendswoodFan" post="923857" timestamp="1291254540"] Agreed hammerhaed.  You have finally seen the light!  Now, WHERE IS HUM398?  It's been 4 days now. It would seem he is not quite the stand up guy all his friends say he is! [/quote] I thought Humble would match up better,but sounds like FW dominated. FW alway has a good team year in year out a tribute to the coaching staff !

Good Pics !

[/quote] [color=navy][b]Oh don't even try that mess dude...I never said anything negative directly toward Dayton or it's fans. If you can't handle the fact that 19-4A is a cupcake district this year like I said it was then that's on you? How is that any different than me seeing "yea, LM is only in the 3rd round because they played HISD Schools?" If I wanted to refute all the trash I saw one by one I could but that's not my style and I don't have time to waste on such silliness. I even congratulated Dayton on their season so it seems to be you're a sore loser perhaps? Either way, I stated my opinion and it showed to be true and I don't go tit-for-tat so see ya later fella![/b][/color] [/quote] Please explain where in my post I am a sore loser ? I just stated a fact about you always crying foul and then turn around gloat with hypocrisy - I have nothing against the Cougars they are a great team !

[quote name="rollinac" post="919710" timestamp="1290828949"] Yea I like that hurry up they do.  Anyway...Dayton doesn't "turn the corner" for the big play.  Big play runs are usually off tackle and safety sucks in or off misdirection.  I'm just not seeing the so called "speed" you are seeing.  They may get caught from behind but I guarantee two or three big plays tomorrow.  Nations is also a master at setting plays up. [/quote] Have to agree - Dayton is the king of big plays ! I think LM will be like every other team we faced this year and get caught being to aggressive on defense and leaving to much space in the backfield .  And its no coincidence that "big plays" ,sound blocking,and good execution go hand and hand !

Port Neches-Grove (8-4), vs. Manvel (10-2), 7:00 Saturday at Baytown's Stallworth Stadium Notes: Like Pearland Dawson-Montgomery, I think the scoreboard could get a little hot in this one. Port Neches-Groves -- which I affectionately call the zombies on our radio show, because we thought they were dead long ago -- is a very good passing team that has gotten great play out of RB Chase Bertrand of late, and Manvel's two-QB system is equally potent. PN-G hails from a competitive district, no question, but Manvel has endured more to get here. I'll take the Mavericks. DCTF's pick: Manvel 41, Port Neches-Groves 33

Region III: Dave Campbell's Mag Dayton (9-3), vs. La Marque (8-3), 2:00 Saturday at Houston's Tully Stadium Notes: The news of La Marque RB TIm Wright's likely season-ending injury in round two comes as brutal news to a team that had to fight just to make the playoffs. Wright was the team's brightest offensive weapon by far, and with him sidelines, La Marque is going to have to piece together a revised offense on the fly. Dayton went through much the same thing when its star runner left in Week 10 with a broken leg. But it's two weeks into this process. La Marque is just getting started. DCTF's pick: Dayton 28, La Marque 17

  Its important the Bronco's get off to a quick start early like we been doing thus far . We need to get in their heads and not let them run wild with all the beef they got . They have several people pushing 300 lbs. in the trenches and thats fine but its a fact if they have to play from behind that weight will turn into anchors before the games over  I don't care how athletic they are . This team also has a reputation of throwing temper tantrums when things don't go their way another reason to bring the heat right out of the gate. The Bronco's are starting to peak and are taking their game to the next level I see us rising to the occasion with a big victory ! Go Bronco's ~

Travis Stewart: With brenham out, Manvel has a chance to do some extreme damage. I think it will beat Dayton in the regional final. Then, in my mind, it'll have Alamo heights in the finals. If it can beat that group, then Aledo.
