Franklin at Navasota

I hear lots of mistakes, cramps, penalties, and turnovers for Navasota in this one.  Franklin's 7th grade offense is very good, as we saw last year, but I'm surprised at this one.  Losing to a 3-A school half their size!  Can they get it together next week for 5-A Mag West?

Sounds like someone needs to call Coach Fedora and apologize

The biggest nagging question that I had about Navasota this season was the intangible of what happened last spring with Coach Fedora and how that reaction would carry over to this season.  I know we are only one game into the season, but I have to say that the performance of the Rattlers, particularly on defense where they were supposed to be particularly strong, has done nothing to keep that question from being a nagging one.  This is in no way meant to assail the abilities of Coach Goodman who by all accounts of people whose opinion I trust is a great coach and even better person.  However, I wonder if he has been left holding a bag of discontent.

Sure, nobody, especially those of us nestled near the Texas/Louisiana state line, will ever really know the entire story.  But unless the rest of the story includes criminal or unethical activity or a major shortfall in some other facet of the HC or AD position (none of which ever came to light as far as I know), should the rest of the story matter?  Yes, it was ultimately his decision to leave after finally being renewed but I think it is fair to say that the manner in which the renewal process went down would leave any coach to believe that they really weren't wanted.

All that said, it is probably a tad early to play Chicken Little and declare that the sky is falling.  The Rattlers will be alright.  However, that begs the question....Will Rattler fans be content with "alright."

    • He actually had a pretty solid year for a sophomore starting in that district. I can assure you, it hasn't hurt his recruiting at all and that will only improve with the move back to the Wack. 
    • If Crumedy eventually has bigger aspirations than being in Jasper, every aspect of the program will be looked at when someone interviews him for any job. He knows that. The mindset needs to be that any time someone wears a Jasper uniform, that they're doing everything they possibly can to win. It matters.
    • This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up It's a poll but I could definitely see this as realistic.   From the article: Catholics in the United States have swung dramatically against President Biden in recent years, now boasting a significant statistical break towards his GOP challenger. Pew Research released on Apr. 30 a report exploring support for presidential candidates sorted by religious affiliation. The poll found that 55% of Catholics support or lean towards supporting former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head against Biden. Conversely, only 45% of Catholics support Biden in the same one-on-one pairing. The 12% margin of support in favor of Trump marks a significant shift from 2020, when he held an extremely narrow lead — 50% to 49%. Biden currently leads among Hispanic Catholics with a narrow 49%-47% split, but the close contest marks a major shift rightward for the demographic. In 2020, a similar poll from Pew Research found Hispanic Catholics preferred Biden to Trump with a staggering 67%-26% split.
    • You said a lot there. Truthfully, that is the root of the issue. Who cares what a kid thinks about how coaches are running a program? Kids play, coaches coach. For some reason, parents have this backward in a lot of places and its wreaking havoc.
