After a two day recruiting trip, WH's Brandon Letsinger has committed to high jump for Texas A&M. Letsinger had multiple offers to play basketball and had narrowed down his options to high jumping for A&M or basketball at Angelina. Congratulations on both the opportunity to continue participating in athletics at the D-1 level, as well as, getting an education from a great university.

I am not surprised really at all. I played against brandon just this past year and I can honsetly say that I havent played against anyone quite like him in my life. It was my job on the team to guard him and to "stick em" and after every game against him I was in awe of how controlled and patience he was even during the most pin point precision plays. Now as far as him walking on to A&M he's going to have a rough ride, not saying that he cant, but just the fact that we're talking about D-1 Big 12 basketball.....very distinguished level of play. What he needs to fcus on now more than ever as someone earlier said is his studies. Basketball and Track will always be there, but the chance to get a great education is right in front of him and all he has to do is take it. Good Luck Brandon and Gig Em'!!!!

Very well said "2quick". Brandon was a special player. It's nice to see opponents express a mutual respect for another player. I was very fortunate to have been able to coach him. You are right... there aren't many players like him. I look forward to seeing what he does at A&M.

      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.
