If we get the rain they say this game won't take place. I can see Newton winning by 40+ but that will be it. WT will not allow the score to be run up. The two schools have too much respect for each other. The Newton / Kirbyville is not a bitter rivalry. 

Not a rivalry are you serious? This is a big time rivalry, this game will get bad in a hurry Newton 65 Kirbyville 0. I'm saying WT let's Neece score a few extra just because.

That's what I thought, too, but then again I don't think Neece would want to do that to his former players.

What are you proving by doing this? Who benefits from it? As a professional form of courtesy you don't do this.

This, plus the fact that both Johnston and Neece know that there are bigger fish to fry than a week one blowout.  A lot of kids will get time just in case they are needed this year and to get them experience for next year.

I don't believe I named any school being afraid of playing against one or the other in my previous post. The point I was trying to make, evidently a poor attempt, was that more than likely with the bad weather we're having, the game may not be played at all and would make interesting reading on what the posters would have to say.

    • 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.
