Who is your team? Tarkington Longhorns How have they done compared to your offseason expectations? Better than expected coming off one of the worst seasons I've ever watched in my life What has been a positive? Offensively they have had some big plays, but more importantly they've had some long sustaining drives. Defensively they have played pretty well overall and the DC has made some good adjustments. Best positive so far is the fire and determination these kids have shown. Reflection of their AD for sure. What has been a negative? Passing game is still not good enough to fight off 8-9 in the box if a team decides to do so. Quarterbacks aren't really seeing kids open, just winging to a predetermined receiver. Defensively, tend to give up big plays and once district starts I feel like we are going to be undersized on our D-line. What are your new expectations for the season? We are still so young that playoff talks seem a bit presumptuous, but I'm really hoping we can pull off enough wins to sneak in. It would be such a huge boost to these kid's confidence who have had to deal with so much turnover and negative talk for the past couple years.

Who said that from Tatum? Didn’t know we talk here too did ya? 😂

I think u have a situation where , you have to hire a new DC and def assistants. They want to coach a Defense they are familiar and comfortable with. Just happens that the current players are struggling with playing it, and if things continue to slide down hill, the kids will start to not buy in to the change. Regardless of this weeks outcome, things will probably get better as they play the weaker teams in the district. But if and a big (if) they loose to Silsbee, and HF, gonna be a tough go? Any other school it would work out in time, but the expectations at WOS are so high, that the stress level on all involved may be too much? But, dont be shocked if all this gloom and doom talk is nought, WOS wins out in district , and goes sev rounds in the playoffs. I would consider that a successful first year for Hickman . JMO

What do you want them to do? Tell the backups to take a knee instead of playing? The backup QB played the entire 2nd half, along with many backups on defense. If you weren't there, don't talk about it. Also, you can't exactly "run it up" in flag football with the 30 point rule.

This is another example of how you don't know sh*t about me, football or NS....First off Denver NEVER attended HS in Alief he was at NS his entire high school career how do I know this? Because I actually COACHED him, unlike yourself I don't have to make statements based off hearsay, message boards and rumors, also if he attended an Alief school please tell me which one he attended since you know so much I'll wait. (BTW unlike you I can factually prove every statement I'm about to make) As far as #99 for one HE'S NOT the best DL that would be #23 who is a two year starter & holds several D1 offers and has been in NS program since he was in middle schooI along with the other two starting defensive lineman. Furthermore #99 was at two different schools before he ever attended NS so how come you're not saying Spring recruited him as well? Cause you know he attended a diff school for two years before he ever stepped foot on campus at Spring HS right? Yeah of course you didn't! You're clueless...His mom decided to move her family into the district (he has a brother that attends NS as well) in which the DEC and his former school signed off on it but in your mind NS recruited him huh? Again you're clueless... And since you've asked where did football take me I'll tell you: It led me to play Division 1 football and get a free education an education in which I used to be become an educator/coach. In my coaching career I won 3x state championships and was able to retire from coaching because in the midst of all the winning I was doing as a coach at the best program in the state, I also started a few multi-six figure companies which allows me the freedom not to need to work a 9-5. So please don't come in here beating your chest about your little plant salary homeboy because that lil money they paying you ONE of my companies does that in a couple months. And if you'd like I can prove that to you as well old head, so don't come on here to talk financials cause you not on my level. You're biggest accomplishment in life is being a process operator 🤣 go clock in and work some more OT. And try not to croak while breathing in all them chemicals. Ok now Joey tell us what you've accomplished in your sports career that qualifies you to know more than me about the game as you've claimed in years past & to get on here and pretend as if you know anything about sports....go head I'm listening!

For those of y’all commenting on NS success & wondering what’s the secret! It’s simple they have a great collection of TALENT, COACHING & STRUCTURE! Structure which starts from the very top of the food chain…admin understands how important athletics are and stand behind it. Every successful program gets hit with the recruiting talk…but truth of the matter is NS players are groomed to win from the time they hit middle school! Go watch Cunningham middle school on a Tuesday evening & you’ll see exactly where all the talent is coming from! Cunningham Middle hasn’t loss a football game in almost 30 years! And those kids are running the same offense, defense, stretches & off season program as the high school. Also both of NS feeder middle schools have 90 min athletic periods EVERYDAY, which allows for adequate practice time & coaching. This also allows for the high school coaches to attend these periods in the spring & go coach the incoming 8th graders! For the idiots that want to bring up NS getting transfers every school gets move ins/transfers…fact of the matter is NS don’t have to recruit the program recruits itself! If a parent wants to send their child to a better program like NS (which is an open enrollment campus just like MANY others in the Houston area) instead of a shitty program that their child may be zoned to are you going to fault the parent for doing what’s best for their kid athletically & academically? And would you fault NS coaches for accepting that kid into the program? What don’t get talked about is there’s more kids that transfer OUT of NS instead of in! For example Channelview’s current starting QB started his career at NS, PA Memorial starting QB started his career at NS, CE King’s QB started 7 games at QB for NS just LAST YEAR, CE King’s starting DE who’s also happens to be a Colorado commit started his career at NS…but because these teams don’t win at the same level of NS this type of stuff never gets talk about. And if you’re wondering how do I know all of this it’s because I coached all of them at NS. Most of y’all on here have never seen or been apart of a successful program like NS so the first thing you do to justify the success is say stupid sh*t like “they recruit” or “open enrollment” when in fact no other program in the state puts the same amount of work in…they don’t see the lifting that’s done 5x a week in-season & off-season or the summer workouts Mon-Friday that start at 6:30 in the morning…I could go on & on! Y’all are on the outside looking in & swear y’all have all the answers smh just appreciate & salute greatness!

Joey Joey Joey…I haven’t been on this site in almost 10 years & you’re still mentioning me? And after all this time you have no clue what the hell you’re talking about when it comes to anything football or sports in general! Stick to what you actually know which is working in the plant! You should talk about that more seeing that you’ve never played none of the sports you speak on! You’re just an old head who was never worth sh*t in sports & is now reliving his glory days through a keyboard! Be a fan & stop speaking on what you have no clue about I.e (football, NS etc)

We’ve won way to many game for me to duck anybody. I man enough to let guys get their shot in, the way I talk on here I fully expect it. This is lied rosy district loss since Nederland in ‘20 and that got things turned around for us. Maybe this one will too🤞🏾

Why don’t you go talk to Matthews about it? Right before district play seems like good timing. Smh

Not sure if it would had made a difference. WOS had a time out and then rushed the play. Why not call the timeout. Talk it over and then run the play. Hmmmm not sure what to think.

Great punt but somebody better talk to that freshman, gotta let that ball continue to roll.

No, and he has been warned. This thread is 8 pages of some pretty good trash talk and arguing there’s been done reasonably respectfully. It’s not that hard to do. Maybe he’ll get it together, or maybe he’ll take a permanent break from the site. Only time will tell.

Yes that was me. Aw i was going to talk to you & buy you a frito pie. I think i see you now

You are correct, there will be higher classes in the years to come. I just like mentioning Vidor playing in 22-5A and against the likes of the schools named. Only cause people like to talk about Vidor and being a historically losing school... yeah our records is not historically good... we had to play schools with NLF caliber players weekly

Multiple on one Jumping (multiple on one) has been a thing for a very long time, it just used to not occur on the school grounds. I knew kids that got jumped in high school. Ferocity Ferocity is I think tied to social emotional growth. When you or I was 16 we could get angry but had the maturity to know when enough was enough. I remember when younger kids used to get into a fight they would not know when to stop. What you're seeing is someone with the physicality of a 16-17 year old but with the emotional awareness of a 13-14 year old. They don't know when to stop. Discipline Add to it that getting in a fight is zero tolerance thus if you're in it the only thing worse that's going to happen to you if you keep wailing on someone is slightly worse than what's going to happen to you if you get wailed on and why not finish the fight. Used to be if you got in a fight and no one ended up with a bloody lip people would talk to you and you might get a day suspension. Now days your getting multiple day suspension and possibly a ticket. Punishment as the only outcome doesn't work when it's applied equally, it only works when applied equitably. One observation: The multiple on one fights I've seen and had information about tend to be within friend groups. I think that the friend groups tend to be retaliating for a perceived or real grievance. It is in my opinion because in groups are way more solidified because you could only really hang around with the people you lived next to during the pandemic. Thus groups of kids have started to become more directly linked to their living conditions, and less linked to the school house. School house was the place you could go from having all crappy friends to having good influence friends by making a decision. 2 years of Covid took that from a lot of kids.

You talk about the ref as an excuse but I have been at basketball games where the former principal would tell a ref that they better call it for BH or they will never ref another game in BH. Just like last night at the freshman game, your superintendent had to get on the field in the back of the endzone and argue with the official trying to slow the game down cause he could see they were being out played and out worked, because he couldn’t handle himself. Tell me that’s not trying to abuse power.

FOOTBALL IS KING. The "significant" discussion was only brought up because BH can't talk about Football in comparison to Crosby.

I trust them no further than I can throw them. They are attempting to get back in good graces because even the left knows they are full of crap. Just like I don’t trust anyone who changes parties….. talk about an about face!!!

Oh now you’re reaching. I can read between the lines of what you’re talking about. That’s foolish talk.Oh now you’re reaching. I can read between the lines of what you’re talking about. That’s foolish talk.

You say don’t get hung up on opening night, but in the same sentence you talk about our game against Magnolia West? Lol

This ^^^^^. Talk about make my day. Christmas in September. For about two years I’d advocated Abbott sending bus loads of Illegals to DC, and he finally did. But never, in my wildest dreams, did I think anyone had the cajones to fly them into the Vineyard. God help me, I do love it so.

What’s have do with getting beat by like 60 points? We didn’t get beat that bad by Manvel teams that were better then CEK, and we just beat the breaks off of FB Marshall without having to go to OT. All of this foolish Crosby talk cracks me up. We have nothing to lose, but y’all have everything to lose.

interesting case. So he talked to the kid for 14 minutes on the phone, and then 4 days later the kid enrolls at his school. It doesn't look great, but if I were the coach I'd play dumb and say that I didn't know how he got my number, but he called to let me know he was moving to my school and wanted to talk to me about football.

Y'all have had three state championship coaches to FB Marshall's 0 the last 15 years. If it was all about athletes Katy would never win state titles. Yet, y'all are still willing to pay the premium for first round losses. You want to talk about bad coaching, y'all almost lost to Dayton last year. I don't have to say anything about him. Everybody watching him stand on the sideline says all it needs to. I bet Abseck will play him against Crosby though. If you need verification for what I'm saying that Steven Avery guy probably knows who his mom is, tell him to go ask her.

I'd be happy to answer all these questions you have about Ned's struggles these 3 non district games at an upcoming game. I would be more then happy to talk football & understand your negative issues you have towards Ned Football coaches & players. It would be better then going back & forth on the board watching what we say so no rules are broken?
