now come on Kelly. Please do not start with the beating of lumberton last year. We played you guys in a scrimmage, in fact it was only the second scrimmage for us and it was the first year we were all together -players and coaches. Yes you scored more than us , in a scrimmage. You guys were in mid-season form and we were just getting started. Kelly had a terrific year last year as did Lumberton ,only loosing three games all year. Leave it at that but please do not start in on that we beat Lumberton bc last time i checked a scrimmage doesnt mean anything on a win loss chart. Thanks and best of luck for the rest of the year to Kelly and all SE texas teams--except when they play us  :P

Good luck to all the teams this year. Im going to try to make it to the Southeast Texas Showcase this year. I loved it when I was a player. My junior year I remember walking to the bus after a game with Nederland and Davy A. just happened to have watched that game.... Quite an experience having a pro watch YOU play instead of the other way around. lol

I'm sorry to let you know that there won't be a Southeast Texas Showcase this year.  Practically every team in this area is a part of the same district, no one from Houston wants to make the trip over here, and many of the local coaches wanted to get some games against Houston teams.

After re-alignment this spring, there should be an opportunity for more than one tournament, so the STS might return for the '09 season.

I think what DME means is that Nederland used to be a favorite (or one of them) to win the region, not just the district, and I certainly suspect that they began each year really believing that they had a chance to win it all. 

I'm not so sure that has been the case for a few years. 

you are right... We used to dominate.  I guess everyone else did catch up.

The problem with local high school programs is that the local club programs have lost their  level of play.  Sure they have a great team that comes along now and then  but over all the level of play has deteriorated.  Back a long while ago the club programs were fluorishing and to be on a upper level team meant something. Now the upper level teams are given out like candy.  Instead of having  one team per age group you now have two or three in any age group from the same club.  So there is no way any of these teams will be successful. It used to be the four clubs each had one team in each age group and made for good competition and so the kdis kept interested.  Now look at all the very successful programs in the state and they are fed by local soccer clubs.  And their local clubs are usally extremely strong and so the feeder to the high schools are a big help to the high school.  Without success or teaching the kids to actually play the game rite... the  kids get discouraged and go to another sport thus leaving the number of high caliber experienced players down in high schools.  The local clubs need to teach the kids how to play soccer at early ages and the kids will stay committed to the game until they graduate thus helping the local programs.  To make this point,,, last season all the teams were one and out in playoffs.  Everybody will stumble year in and year out but not all the teams from the same district.  Other areas are strong due to their clubs feeding them.  At kelly out of 36 boys in the program, only 15 played club last year at ANY level.  Nederlands numbers are growing fromclub  while PNG is falling.  I dont know about the rest of the area but I would bet Nederlands district domination could be returning soon and some of hte other schools will start to deteriorate. Its inevitable that sooner or later a program has a bad season.  Locally in the public schools they are finally getting the coaches that have played the game.  For years we all have waited on this and now the kids will be taught by players not by us wanna play... folks.

      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.
