Two good teams I got to see last night. SA with very good skill guys, particularly #13. SFA commit at WR and he is legit. I thought Joaquin had the size advantage, SA the speed and athletic ability.

To me, one of if not the key to the game was in the first couple of drives. SA had the ball first but was forced to punt. Joaquin started on their own 10. The Rams took 9+ minutes off the clock and marched down to Wolves 10, but missed a 26 yd FG. Very next play, SA RB Davis took it to the house for 90 yard TD. Rams went 3 and out on next possession and SA scored in 5 plays. 13-0 SA. The style offense that Joaquin plays is not conducive to being behind. After it was evident that Joaquin would not throw, SA loaded the box.

Joaquin was missing to important players that could have opened their offense up some, but I still think the result would be the same, an SA win.

I also believe these two will face each other in the regional finals. Which brings me to make this following comment:

The end of the game was very interesting, to say the least. SA had the ball, 1st and goal at 3 yard line, leading 33-20, 1:18 left on clock, Joaquin with no timeouts left. So all SA had to do was snap and kneel 3 times, game is over. Instead, SA runs a play and scores, but a holding call negates the TD. Now 1st and goal from 13. SA tries a pass to endzone, incomplete. Stops clock with 1:00 left. SA runs another play, but this time a procedure call sets them back 5 yards. SA calls time out. Then tries another pass play, incomplete. Stops the clock again. Another running play then finally a kneel down. Game over. One that should have been over 10 minutes earlier. 

Not sure what the mindset was but IMO you don't give any incentive to the opposing team, particularly one that you very well may face in the playoffs. Also, why risk injury to a several of your two way players who were on the field trying to score on those last few plays. Just kneel it, and move on. Besides, the game had got pretty chippy in the late stages. No need to fuel that fire.

IMO, the better team won and I would favor SA in a rematch as well. But give a team extra incentive, well......

      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.
