What a run!  Great season!  

I hate the idea of rating the skill of a coach solely on wins/losses.  Keven Foster is without question the best coach in the area and arguably anywhere in the state for these reasons:  Character and effort of his players, adaptability midgame, experience, poise, and yes.. success.  What a great coach and better person.  Big Sandy is very fortunate to have him. 

It sounds like this would've been an excellent game to be at.

Could not agree more.

He is as good a man as he is a coach.  I hate making comparisons between the great ones but I will just say he is as good as any I’ve seen.

The handful of times I've seen one of his teams play I've left with the same reaction.  No matter the skill level he's working with or the level of competition.. It's the same every time I've seen.

I’m rarely surprised by how well his teams performed.  But this team had no business being two games from “State.”   Like BSWildcats said in another thread, this run would not have been surprising next year.  This year was a bit of a shocker.  But then again, Foster ALWAYS gets the most out of his team.  Credit those kids for always “buying in” as well.

Coach Foster will be the first to tell you that he is blessed with very coach able kids.

I have found that “coachable” kids is often times directly related to the coach.   Kids who were deemed to be difficult, are all of a sudden very coachable with the right coach.  When they have great respect for their coach, there isn’t much they wouldn’t do for him or her.

I believe that's definitely true as well.  It's a great fit for all involved. I'll say that I always see a "team first" mentality exhuming from the kids.

Coach Foster is the best in the business, I was lucky enough to work with him side by side for 4 years, he never missed one of my playoff games unless he was at a softball playoff game.  He takes care of his players, coaches, teachers, admin and the community.  The gym is named after his Uncle but I hope one day it is Kevin Foster court.  I will always pull for his teams, and Kevin is one of the best to work with.

      Baton Rouge split in half?

      No doubt. It's definitely intriguing enough to watch how this all plays out...

      Baton Rouge split in half?

      By tvc184 · Posted

      We all know that each state has its own laws which can be very different, especially in endeavors like annexation or incorporation, so there is no telling what Louisiana law says. I don’t know but I doubt that there is a point of appeal for Baton Rouge to force St. George to be absorbed back into Baton Rouge by now giving them what they asked for years ago. “Oh, we lost? Well let’s just undo incorporation, ruled as legal by the Supreme Court (of LA)  by going back and giving them what they asked for”. There has to be a law allowing such an appeal. I think what I read about the lower court decisions which actually backed up Baton Rouge, they did not all rule that incorporation was illegal but that they did not think the city could have services up and running soon enough. So you have a court saying that sure you can split but only if we agree that you can provide services get enough. In Louisiana, who knows? I doubt that Texas has such a mechanism to allow a city to split, for example, could the west end of Beaumont say that they wish to make their own city against Beaumont’s objection? I doubt it. Certainly Beaumont could allow a city to be created as Port Arthur did with Bridge City and Taylor’s Landing. There is a huge difference in allowing and forcing which is what happened in Baton Rouge. Similar to the sometime discussed topic of Texas splitting off from the United States because they don’t like the way things are going, think if citizens in any city in the United States were allowed to create their own city, which could not be stopped by the parent city.  That could get interesting!! Don't like what is happening in the south side of Chicago? Just de-annex and create your own city!! Anyway, I thought that it is an interesting story when the capital city splits in half.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      By AggiesAreWe · Posted

      Wasn't that 1st round loss last year? Also, during those previous 10 years I am pretty sure Jasper didn't go 2-58 in district play in the other 5 sports.

      Even More From The Friendly muslims!

      By SmashMouth · Posted

      Ma'am, I don't think he said all Muslims were like that. If I'm reading this right, he's referencing the terrorist Muslims. You know, the ones who commit murder & have no regard for anyone who doesn't follow their jihadist beliefs...

      Great playoff run, no doubt.  They did make the 3rd round(1 less) 4 of the previous 10 years, only one first round loss. 6 district championships and 4 second place.  The only 4 years Carthage was in the same district. So no, I'm not sure it does make sense.
