Kelly vs Warren Scrimmage


Recommended Posts

The scrimmage was much needed for Kelly.  They should have dominated Warren and, for the most part, they did. The first play of the scrimmage was a 70 yd. TD pass from Connor Moore to Allante Wingate. Overall, Kelly scored 4 TDs and the defense shutout Warren.
On offense, Darrius McMahon appears to be Kelly's best running back. Wingate also played QB and showed he is more than capable of being an effective starter. Kelly's offensive line is the biggest they have had in recent memory and dominated the line of scrimmage as they should have against Warren.
On defense, Mason Harris and Andy Romano were strong at the OLB position. The cornerbacks are much stronger than last season, and Kyle Reid is a returning starter as the ILB and brings strength. Armando Ledet is solid at NG and is spelled by Brent Booker (he is huge). John Darling, also a returning starter, is a force at DE.
Kelly will get a stronger test this Friday in a dual scrimmage against HJ and Lumberton at Kelly HS.

Review the posts. No one is sounding overly-optimistic. The posts show what they did, and given no wins last season that is an improvement. Even I reported they will get a much-needed tougher test when they scrimmage H-J and Lumberton on Friday.

    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success. 
    • Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
