Objective is to put the best players on the team correct? So class shouldn't matter! If 2 freshman are getting looks on varsity it must be for a reason. Let them compete and make the coaches decision hard. If they don't get there this year, at least they made the upperclassman understand nothing will be given to them and they had to compete to earn their spot. Long run it will all make the TEAM better!!  

In fact, was a beast at what was once, and hopefully will be again soon, one of the premiere "programs" in the country. Fortunately for his son, the apple didn't fall far from the tree. A scholarship and degree from Rice - well its value is actually in excess of the $300k "sticker price." Rice got a great one in Blaine. In return, Blaine can get one of the better diplomas our country's higher education has to offer.

I've questioned the local recruitment also, but I can Honestly say I was Dead wrong. I've seen how passionate the current staff is about local kids. They would Love to offer All Local kids, but in Reality they must Win also to keep their jobs. There are only so many positions and they must recruit the best kid available. They look locally first, but if the local kid isn't the best fit, Coach has to make a decesion that affects his Team for the next 4 yrs.
Tell you what, the visit this past weekend was Great for us. The offer Lamar has put on the table for my Son is Unbelievable. He committed months ago and it's one of the best decesions he has made in his young life. We are truly Blessed to receive an offer to pay for his Education. He can now pursue his Dreams of playing College Football & most importantly earn a Degree. God Is Good.
Go Cards!!!!

SETX TAKEOVER Christmas Tree ornament for Crosby / WO-S / Newton let's bring home the hardware boys!!
       

If your not allowed to coach the way you know how to coach, its hard to be successful. Politics has a lot to do with above said schools.

really biggen ur team been home

I think sometimes as serious fans we forget that this is all about the kiddo's. God bless all of them who work their rear's off to make their school and community's proud.  To the players you all make us proud!!!!!!   Best of luck tonight to all of you!!!

I understand your view, but the other side is you have twice the number of kids getting playing time and getting better. Plus when they go to HS they now have to "compete" for those starting positions. It makes kids work harder. Also, if a starter gets injured, the backup has had experience at playing, not just waiting on the sideline. If you aren't getting playing time in MS then you may not go out in HS. Let's face it, lots of kids don't develop and mature until their Junior year or so and some have left the program that could now be an asset. IMO

Lumberton had some size and speed. There is no reason outside of poor coaching to be getting blown out like they have. 

Both teams just came off of win. Should be a good game

Wow, this turned out to be as advertized "a real barn burner"; what a way to kick off SETX Hichschool FB. For those HF fans that left early, let this serve notice that HF has the capability of making a come back when the chips are down. That fumble at the end, talk about a gift from God. I think both teams were even in the turn over stats. I am not sure what's in the water up there in Lumberton but talk about a massive offensive line, they have some real "slobber knockers" up front. Great effort from both squads and coaches, game ball definitly goes to Kendrick King, he is very entertaining too watch. I wish I had a recording of the Lumberton Coach after his kicker, kicked the ball towards Kendrick, he yelled "do not kick it too #2, I don't care what you do, just don't kick it too #2"  . That was great, and will be one of my most memorable thoughts of this season. I wish all of the injured players God speed on their recoveries and good luck to both Teams next week.
