Went a whole decade without winning, hasn't made the playoffs in over 30 years, got a first-year coach who came in the offseason with less than 11 players, now has 40+ kids, is 7-1, dominating most other HISD schools and has several international students interested in playing football.

 

All it takes is the right coach to revive a program.

And will probably be 6A next go round.  The task will be continuing to move forward.  At one time, they were the only then 4A school that didn't play football.  It was right after Westside opened 

They're expecting HISD schools to grow in enrollment? I thought they were a dying brand and people were fleeing to other districts?

A large immigrant population in that part of town.  The article states their current success is drawing interest from foreign born students in America football

7-1 and possibly “going home”?

I found that surprising as well, but they still face 2 of the better teams in district and a 5-3 record could see them out of the playoffs.  Tie breaker scenarios don't look good for them. Would be a tremendous feel good story if they can beat Sterling.

      Dang "Erectionists"!

      To clarify, Dems love wars. They rage daily in the bluest of blue inner citicis. Chicago had 39 shootings over the weekend, 9 dead. Warzone. Baltimore, Memphis, Detroit, etc. I am sure was just as bloody. The blue body count rises daily. I am sure the blue defunding of police and releasing murders without any bail have nothing to do with it. Right?

      Will probably be released by the Democrats come September.  Sound familiar?

      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.
