Bridge City 42 Cleveland 35/Final

The Bridge City-Silsbee matchup intrigues me.  Silsbee is a clear favorite IMO but their run defense is suspect.  On the other side of the ball, Thomas should have a field day with BC's smallish, not nearly as athletic as Tiger receivers secondary.  Could be a lot of offense in this one if BC takes care of the ball better.

Can we go back to the "fight in the BC stands?" LOL I knew Cleveland would get ugly on the field but the BC stands??? ;) 

the game itself was actually very good-natured. The only personal fouls I recall were on us, and warranted. The Indians played a clean game without a lot of garbage at all. 

In fact, the Indians played one heck of a good game. They fought hard until the bitter end, and had some FANTASTIC blocking for their runners in the open field.  Hats off to Cleveland.  

 

The fight wasn't much of a fight.  A lot of yelling and shirt tugging by a couple of guys until security broke it up.  One guy got kicked out.  Somebody cursing too much in front of somebody's family, allegedly.

I heard the same thing as well, no place for that in the stands.

The cardinal defense was unable to stop the Cleveland offense. That's troublesome in my opinion. Either Cleveland brought their absolute A game, or our defense isn't playing as well as we have been. 

 

Offense put up plenty of points, but had a few costly fumbles. Special teams had some hiccups, but punt returner #8 had another BIG return. 

 

The good news is that we're going into our bye week and have plenty of time to work on our problem areas before getting into the meat of our district schedule.

CardinalBacker, I appreciate your updates and thoughtful opinions. All without being too cocky or bashing any of the kids/coaches. Thumbs up! 

Now I'm thrilled that we won...but am dreading that newbie kid's rants about how we're going to win state and beat everyone and blah blah bla . He embarrasses me. Sigh...

    • 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.
