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.

Not sure if it’s official yet 

When do they expect to hire?  Schools almost over.

Sounds like you should have actually applied instead of just posting about it. That said you wouldnt get 65 because you wouldnt be the AD. They gave that to the basketball coach. Also they already hired someone.

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?

And that’s fine everybody has their own opinion we can agree to disagree. But to me it’s pretty cut and dry, when they moved on from Boyd, which was necessary and time for, they hired someone from his staff and kept all of the same coaches. The reason for letting him go/him resigning, was because the performance and record had fallen off it was time for a change. But change does not come unless everything is changed including the coaching staff. If you have a program where they’re losing and have that instilled in them Bc that’s all they’ve known, Then what makes anything change if the recipe stays the same.  When you change head coaches the entire regime needs to go In order for total change to happen and a new philosophy combined with a new culture is required. By not doing this you set the program back by 4 years. Take Lee for example, they cleaned house brought in Finn and he’s turning that program around. They have fewer numbers than GCM and although they can’t stop a lot of people from scoring, they routinely score 40+ a game and remain competitive if not entertaining throughout. GCM has struggled to put quality units on the field for 4yrs under current regime. It’s not the coaches fault Bc they were set up for failure, the program needs a shot in the arm, to bring out more kids to the program and an overall make over to attract more talent. The kids put in a lot of work and should be commended, but another area of concern is the coaching at the junior high level. 99% of our kids at a certain jr high, can’t tell you what a 3 technique or lining up in a 7 or 9 means. And then you play the likes of Cunningham, North Shore MS , and they are on the sidelines, yelling for their kids to change into different techniques to adjust for the offensive alignment and they do it immediately.  Our kids are at a disadvantage from the time they walk in to the high school doors districtwide. The high school coaches have to teach all these things when I get there because they weren’t taught in junior high immediately putting them behind the eight ball. You have to start from the bottom and go to the top with culture change and that’s what it’s going to take the kids to be successful. End of discussion

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.

LCM rolls here 

Indians win this one.  When the kids are playing for something bigger than theirselves it just hard to overcome.  #SantaFeStrong

So . . . I was right about New Caney beating the Titans and New Caney has the district championship in hand as long as Porter behaves and doesn't play spoiler.  Now I am going to say that Kingwood Park has a real shot at beating PAM.  I know that Port Arthur faithful think that they have this one in the bag and their athletes are better than anyone else but . . . Panthers win.  What you say?

Hardin's win over Orangefield is impressive . . . any year but this one.  Anahuac, Hardin, and Orangefield seem to be very similar on paper.  I'm going out on a limb here to say that Anahuac takes this one simply due to history.  Anahuac hasn't lost many to the Hornets and this year will be no different.  Prove me wrong.

PAM will not win district - you heard that here first.  PAM does not have the offense to beat New Caney.  

Is it too early to bring this up?

Easy to say.  NC lost to a team that should have lost to Nederland.  The TEAM is avg 42 pts a game.

Lost to a team that has definitely proved their worth!  

PAM will not win district - you heard that here first.  PAM does not have the offense to beat New Caney.

Oh, did your team not make the list?

No, he's jealous of the only team in the state Top 10's that has just 1 win.  That's OK, DCTF is showing respect to a program that has EARNED it.

Maybe I’m wrong but this is what I thought I saw. 0-0 1’s, 2-0 Dayton 2-3’s, 1-0 Dayton 1’s. That was the controlled part.

Live half - 13-0 Dayton.

Broncos look more athletic than they have recently. Threw the ball quite a bit but many completions. On defense they bent a little but shut down the run game. GC did a good job stopping the quick pass game but looked tired towards the end and they broke down on the running game and gave up big yardage. Offense was a struggle for GC but had their moments. #12 can play ball. I watched GC play once last year and they aren’t the same team. 

Good luck to both teams.

I think everyone is thinking wrong trying to create 7 or 8 team districts.  Most districts will be 5 or 6 teams.  

126 schools in 5A D1

16 Districts

7.8 Teams per district

Could be.   The UIL has shown that it doesn't have any problem with pairing it with Greater Houston schools and you already have New Caney, Caney Creek, Porter and K Park ready to go.

What about Tyler and Texarkana?  Lufkin can go up there.
