High School coaches get paid around $1.00 an hour for coaching. I totaled up my overtime hours last year and divided them into my coaching stipend and was totally shocked.
However, I love what I do and wouldn't change it for a thing.
But bigstick, there is nothing wrong with professionals trying to better their situation with their employment. I'm sure that you tell your boss at the feedstore that you'd like a raise every now and then.
Somebody just got OWNED! ;D

Smack is GOOD! ;D

All Star teams are seldom successful because the focus tends to be on STAR instead of ALL.
I wouldn't bet on either.

Ok, you don't have to wait too long,lol! This is my perception of a football, baseball, basketball coach. The best players make the team, the rest learn to try again and that not everyone that goes out for a team makes one. When under the coaches care (games and practices) the coach gets the undivided attention of the player and no parents are allowed to line the practice field with lawn chairs or to call their kid to the side during a game. No one allowed in the locker rooms but coaches and players, period.............oh, and the team pastor if there is one. If there is a problem, they are addressed in a set up time with the coaches in the athletic office and still the coach has the final decision on who fields his team, regardless of who or what you are. I as a woman do believe that the fairness and everyone plays thing should only work through jr. high, and then the best athletes play the game. Having said that, no, I don't think I would coach, due to the fact that with the above rules, I wouldn't last long, lol!
This reminds me of a coach I had in HS named Stocky Lamberson.
One day a school board member with a son on the team requested a meeting with Stocky.
Stocky asked "will I be meeting you as my boss or as a parent?"
The school board member stammered "As a parent."
Stocky replied "Then get the hell outta my office!"

I played against Kenny King of Clarendon. Kenny played FB at OU and went on to the NFL with the Oakland Raiders.
One of the best HS RB's I ever saw play was a kid named Brad Beck from Perryton Texas. He received a scholarship from UT. He was so good, UT's Fred Akers gave his dad a job as assistant coach to ensure they could sign him.
UT didn't work out for Brad. I understand he allowed the temptations of Austin to get the better of him.

Back in my day the coach didnt allow players to be escorts for the HC court some coaches do though
Being a homecoming queen escort was one of the perks reserved for the team captains when I played.
Aaaaah ....... nothing like kissing a homecoming queen. *sigh* The good old days. ;D

I'm planning to go.

Add Ohio to the list.
It would be a toss up between Florida, California, Texas & Ohio.
-
I thought the Deweyville girls went to play-offs last year? I could be mistaken though
DV advanced & EC stayed home.

I'm 46 and all my Rutherford cousins are in their mid to late 50's. None of them were into athletics. They were more interested in raising & racing horses.
I'm sure they were familiar with your family's business. Do you remember when the Long's Wax Museum was in Claremore?

For those that have never watched it, six man is pretty exciting. If you love offense with lots of scoring, the 6 man game is a treat. I think Texas is the only state that allows it. Oklahoma schools play 8 man and it is just like 11 man but with fewer players.
Of course I prefer the 11 man game but for those schools too small to field a regular team, six man beats nothing at all.
-
I can't figure out why the smaller schools in East Texas haven't picked up on it.
Guess they figure no football is better than playing the 6 man variety.

I'm stretching back 35 years or more but their property adjoined a paved county road and it would take you to Claremore. They had a huge Dutch barn made of rock that sat on the west side and directly adjacent to the paved county road. They had 4 kids (2 boys & 2 girls) and only one of the boys remains in NE Oklahoma. He sells real estate & lives in Tulsa.

Of course, Inola is 10 miles from Claremore. I have some Inola friends. How do you know of Inola?
My aunt and uncle owned a ranch about 3-4 miles north of Inola. They raised Appaloosa race horses. I spent many summers there as a kid and at the race track in Claremore. My aunt and uncle were named Rutherford and are both deceased and buried in Inola.

For whatever it's worth, I have put 4 kids through Varsity athletics (been raisin' kids for 27 years) and I have seen a lot of referees in that time. In my experience, home town referees tend to favor the visiting team more than the home team. Most referees are good, honest (albeit sometimes visually challenged
) people and sometimes show a bias toward the visitors to avoid any appearance of impropriety. I don't believe they do it intentionally, it just happens.

In another thread a comment was made about Chester having a "numbers" problem and it got me to wondering.
Do any of the smaller schools in SE Texas play 6 man football? I know a lot of schools in West Texas & the Panhandle play this style of football enabling them to continue fielding a team. These games are neat to watch and are very high scoring.

I keep telling you all that Buna is for real. Buna wins this one by 35 points.
Four quality 2A teams in this area that will go a long ways in the playofff.
Newton -- E. Chambers -- Buna -- Cor. Camden.
2 of the 4 teams will not make it past the first round.Newton and Corrigan-Cambden will be tough nuts to crack for EC and Buna.

No.
Every job has plusses and minuses and coaching is no different.
-
My high school is out of state. It is the Claremore Zebras (red & white).
Ever been to Inola?
-
Buck Sweep don't hold back ..... tell us how you really feel about Buna. ;D
-
EC has the Rice Festival to contend with. I think it's a greater distraction for the players than homecoming.

EC is getting the shaft. That's horrible ranking for EC, they should be way higher
Unlike NCAA Div. 1A .... poll rankings don't mean squat at the HS level.
Thank goodness champions are determined on the field rather than by a bunch of sportswriters.

I watched the DV - Hardin game and I am impressed by Hardin. The Hornets have good overall team speed.
