They were and they will.  I would have been more surprised if they had won.  WOS is pretty good and their best players don’t play football.   I was impressed it was as close as it was.

You have to be quick.  That lady at Evadale clears the clock about 1.8 seconds after the final buzzer.   Very impressive game by the Bucs.  EC is going to be fun to follow this year.

Always nice to have a "practice" type situation and still get a W on the schedule.  Stil...lol.  

Bingo ;)   I will say Legacy has some athletes and just looked super rusty.  Like they just finished playing football.  Which they did.   As you well know, that isn’t an easy or overnight transition.  And OF really dictated the pace the entire game.

Legacy was missing starting post and starting guard. Super rusty was probably being polite.......  Anyway, a good thumping should build some character.  Last 4 years we've had some good character building thru December but manage to get it together by district.

I was wondering where their post was (Dwight?).  They certainly look the part.  You could tell they need a few to get their feet under them.  I’m sure they will be fine.  And as we’ve discussed on other threads.  Big disadvantage when you’re playing your first games and your opponent has a few weeks and games under its belt.

Yes, post is Dwight Johnson.  Guard missing was Forest Holifield. Other starting guard Andrew Potter tore ACL in May and you can tell he's a little timid.  Add in another new head coach (3rd in 4 yrs) and you definitely up the time needed for learning/adjustments.  It's sometimes painful to watch the process but I always look forward to the end result.

That’s him.  Had him for a couple of weeks in junior high.  Kid was in like a size 16 or 17 shoe in 8th grade.  Haven’t seen him in a year or so but had crazy potential.

I think Evadale was hit by a string of injuries from football. They will only get better as the season progress.

      So you are saying a star baseball SHOULD be doing full contact football drills during the baseball season as his Baseball team prepares for the playoffs?

      Roger.  I misread your comment. Perhaps the other sports will turn the corner sometime soon.

      I'm going to agree with this. Individual drills would be fine, but a varsity baseball player should not be involved in full pad practices during the baseball season. Especially, if he is a contributing player on a playoff bound baseball team. This is irresponsible and selfish of the AD/HFC.

      If there's a specific situation that started this thread, I don't know the details.  Nor do I care.  But I do have an opinion about what I'm gathering from some of the comments. My opinion: I do believe that an AD should leave the players of a particular sport to their respective head coach during that season.  The varsity players of that sport anyway.  I believe it's a little different concerning the sub varsity players of that sport.  If an AD/HFC decides to grab some JV baseball players for some offseason football stuff during the athletics period, I don't have AS MUCH of a problem with it.  I would still consider it a common courtesy to discuss with the head coach of that particular sport to consider their thoughts on it. I also believe that ALL athletes should be lifting and running all year.  When in a particular season, I believe that the head coach of that sport should control the reigns on that topic to implement some sport specific lifting/running during their season.  But all athletes should be in the weight room year round. As far as playing multiple sports?  I'm an advocate.  I know that the popular idea is for potentially good/great players in a specific sport to "focus" on that sport.  And I agree.. but focusing on one sport doesn't mean stopping the others.  It just means prioritizing time in a way that extra work is put into that specific sport.  After hours, weekends, holidays/summer, etc..  Just because you plan on making a push into college baseball (for example) doesn't mean you can't work on baseball during other sports seasons.  That's exactly what I did.. and countless others.  Plus, it's important to maybe learn how to be a role player in a sport that you're not the best at.  Because that's coming. That's my opinion.  And I come from an era where kids played multiple sports if they knew it would be helping.  Helping their classmates.. or just contributing to school pride.  I hate knowing that there are schools that could be much more competitive if their kids would just come out.  It's hard for me to understand if I'm being honest.
