Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 Smh What's going on up there?? Quote
Pepper Brooks Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Posted May 15, 2015 Smh What's going on up there?? I think it is a combination of a lot of things. The community still thinks they are a basketball power house school.( Hell!! They have not been a basketball school for 40 yrs) They have talent and the kids and the coaching staff work their tails off and deserve better. Some of the football parents wanted a booster club for the football team and that was shot down by the AD almost immediatly. I honestly think the community and the higher up that are employed by HISD want the football program to die. Quote

Guest Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 There is no question that some want the football team gone. What an absolute shame that Coach Soderquist will not get to finish things out with the upcoming senior class. This is absolutely not fair to the seniors. Quote

Javelina Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 It must have been something big for him not to return. Hometown guy, great bunch of kids and I thought he had a good shot at having a great season next year. I wish him the best in whatever he chooses to do next Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

Pepper Brooks Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Posted May 16, 2015 I can tell you for fact he will be teaching at high school in lufkin but the job is not tied to coaching. My mistake. The man needs to be coaching somewhere. Great young coach. Given the right opportunity and support, he would no doubt be successful. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
Guest Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 He is an elite coach. Lufkin would do well to find a spot for him. Quote

Man, there are some colleges that would love to have you on their recruiting staff. :) +1! Let me tell you those recruiters are always at the Pop Warner games scouting out kids to try and get an early commitment! Ha! Quote
longball24 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 No they are not at Pop Warner games, But college level coaches do recruit Gene pools Like High School coaches hunt Jobs in towns with lots of athletes. Gene pools in smaller communities are where you see the better coaches and communities where the pool is shallow is what they try to avoid. Tenaha , Corrigan, Newton, Celina, Hugh Springs just to name a few have the upper end of the Gene pool. Quote
Guest Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 Huntington's athletic gene pool is a four foot kiddie pool. Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 Huntington's athletic gene pool is a four foot kiddie pool. Their gene pool usually moves 10mins to the north. longball24 and Pepper Brooks 2 Quote
Pepper Brooks Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Posted May 18, 2015 Their gene pool usually moves 10mins to the north. Had a few to come 10 minutes South this past season as well. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
no-look Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 I'm beginning to wonder about the "mental gene pool" of some of these responses. 😄 Quote
fishcat Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 You can laugh if u want I've seen it to much when certain name kids in jasper come threw in pop warner then 7 th & 8 th they going to be good in highschool that's why if u got good blood or genes all u have to do is set back & wait Quote

Guest Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 If a recruiter is going to a Pop Warner game it will not be in Jasper, TX or any East Texas town. He will be in DFW or Houston. Mr. Buddy Garrity and Pepper Brooks 2 Quote
Pepper Brooks Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Posted May 19, 2015 Brian Gandy was promoted to HC. Coach Gandy served as Huntingtons OC this past season Quote
