42-14 Ltrain rolls porter 

I remember Porter having some athletes when I watched them a few years ago. If they get loose a couple times, this prediction could be spot on.  Offensively, I'd like to think we would score like this but the offense is young. May take a couple weeks to hit our stride. I'll say 36-13

True this. I look for Jake to have a good year if he is given time to throw the ball. I guarantee a lot of teams would like to have him running their offense.

To start at QB as a 9th grader in 5A, you are either incredibly gifted and talented or the pickins were pretty slim at QB. Which was it?

I would say that it was a combination of both. He is gifted, but would he have started on most 5A teams, I do not believe he would. Beyond that, he is now a very experienced QB with 30 games behind him. I believe he threw for over 2000 yards last year in the old Coach's spread offense. Coach Holley will utilize his abilities this year, and Porter will score, just not sure they can stop the other team from scoring more.

    • 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.
