West Hardin and Colmesneil

UIL and All-State Committees are separate entities and neither have anything to do with the other. So the UIL does not or cannot make a rule about an "All-State" player playing down. Which "All-State" team would we use for judgement on this? The AP All-State, Dave Campbells All-State, 247 All-State, or the Wink Local Newspaper All-State team? All-State isn't a state-level honor. It's not given by the UIL. Now, ethically, this would be frowned upon and I highly doubt that any coach in this state would take a 5A All-State Running back and let him carry the ball 20 times for a 2A-D2 JV team. But, coaches will surprise you sometimes. That wouldn't be very fun at all. That's like letting Derrick Henry carry the ball for Aledo. It just removes any real competition and no real fun in that match.

This is what I heard also. He is going to Navasota to finish this season on the JV and play Varsity next year.

Do they stay in-house for this hire or go after fresh blood?

Are we able to watch the UIL meeting tomorrow? I am curious how this is going to play out.

The Oilers are on fire right now. Hard to beat a team that has things going in the right direction. Strength of schedule is definitely lop-sided here.

It is not the all-time record that wins the game however, the WH parents have been a part of beatdowns given to them from HD. If I am correct, WH has beaten HD only 11 times in history. Two of those were in the past 4 years. Anyway ... it's that fact that HD is WH's daddy and all of the Oiler crowd knows it. And THAT is what changes the mindset here. I never said that the great team from 1979 was going to play this Friday.

Doesn't HD lead the all-time matchup by a considerable margin? WH probably waits for this game and usually fails but HD overlooks because WH doesn't have much fight to give the Bobcats. However, I think this year, the tables are turned. WH has looked better than HD but like I said above ... don't count the Bobcats out yet. I think they surprise the Oilers this week and this ballgame will be a good one to watch!

West Hardin is only 7 point favorites in the polls that matter. That makes much more sense. This is like a Cotton Bowl or Iron Bowl. All records are out the window ... HD vs WH is the BIGGEST game of the year!

Hull-Daisetta is about to surprise some folks. Don't count them out just yet.

KIPP schools are synonymous for cancelling and they will do it last minute ESPECIALLY if it has to do with a road game. I agree .... leave them off of the schedule! It's not worth the headache. However, what is the story with Colmesneil? Why did they cancel?

I’ll let Coach Taylor make that announcement but he’s leaving the area. They’re already interviewing for this position according to my source.

89Falcon is right. He’s taking another coaching job. Sounds and looks like the whole coaching staff is gone. That’s typical in a smaller school though. Bulldogs are looking for a whole staff!

Probably going into insurance like all coaches tend to do. Our education system is failing more and more. Sad to see.

Yep

Probably won't see it posted. It's filled

This job is already filled

When do they expect to hire? Schools almost over.

They hired? Who?

Looks like it is HFC and a second sport. Assistant principal is the AD? That is never a good formula.

Are they looking for a football coach?

You seem to have a pretty good grip on what's going on within this entire district and seem to have all of the answers. Sounds like you need to go to the athletic director with all of your concerns and remedies and convince him to hire you to fix the Baytown issue. You've got my vote!

Crosby wins . . . BH will choke although they have a perfect opportunity to get a win over the Coogs.

This will be a great game but Buna has to keep up! Cannot let the Bucs get up by multiple scores or it's out of reach.

Splendora is better than what many think. Huffman loses this game . . . odd year.
