My final thoughts on the District...

Recommended Posts

Coach of the Year... Mathews.....

Vidor....

He put together a team in Vidor that beat all the odds, shut the naysayers up, and put a V on the D.C. trophy.

PAM.......

Full of athletes, tons of speed... Put a 9 game streak together before being upended by Vidor... The future is bright with Hines and the Jr. QB next year.. Put a big M on the D.C. trophy.

PNG......

Who would have thunk it? A stud sophomore QB? I think its easy to say the offensive MVP of the district. P.N.G. is young and overachieved with the help of a senior led defense... The initials P.N.G. on the D.C. trophy..

Nederland......

Larry ballgame kept the dogs in it through all the turmoil.. IMO, the Dogs where the 4th best team in the district. In the thick of it until the very last minute, as always....

Central.....

Hard to knock Toby when he gets these guys in the playoff every year.. Not the best Central team I have seen, but not a pushover at any level.

Lumberton.....

Coach knows how to get these kids to play hard. Not full of athletes, but full of heart... These kids go out week after week and compete, and the Lumberton faithful follow these kids all year.

Ozen..........

Low attendance numbers show Ozen to be a 4A school. Hopefully the district gets these kids to that level. If so, Ozen will be a contender. 

Livingston....

New announcer at the field helps.... Livingston is down, but not out.. They have a few good athletes and utilize them well...

Baytown....

Hoping for these guys to get on track.. It takes time... But something will give.. These guys play hard...

 

In the nutshell, we all joke on this board during the season.. Its all fun and games... I am proud of all these kids and all these teams. Each team is full of its own traditions, and these kids go on to be successful in life at every level. We should all be proud of each and every one of them.. No matter what the final standings are. These kids are all winners and I wish them tons of success in life.

P.A.M. P.N.G. Vidor, Central........ I know you will represent the district well in the playoffs...... Be proud, have fun, and remember its a game...............................

    • 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.
