What do you guys think? Please before you think me a nutjob I think that BH can finish second with the kids they have coming back. With the Coaching staff and hard work of the Eagles think they can beat out King and Crosby. Thoughts or comments?

I hope you guys are right, but I'm not that optimistic ;)

Dayton is all by there selfs up front this year without anyone coming close IMHO. CE King will be improved , Crosby is a throw up this year and North Forest will be the Darkhorse lead by the Smiley Coach who is a very good coach. BH will have to beat one of these 4 to grab a spot and it will not be easy!

Can BH do it? Of Course, but there will have to be some good play calling and BH will have to take some chances and not be conservative.

I love the new district and can see some great games coming!!

Barbers Hill looking to raise the bar in 4A

By Michael Pineda

Baytown Sun 

Published June 26, 2008

MONT BELVIEU — In its two years competing in Class 4A, the Barbers Hill athletic department has proven that it can hold its own. Now it is time to expand on the success the Eagles have enjoyed and make more of an impact.

Competing in District 21-4A, the school won 10 district championships and saw most of its teams finish in the top two in the district despite being one of the smallest schools in Class 4A.

“It was a good solid year athletically,†Price said. “There were disappointments and you never feel happy when you play your last game and it isn’t in the state championship. We’re still not where we want to be in terms of being competitive year in and year out in 4A.

“We are still growing and, as we grow, our pool of athletes will be bigger. We are going to continue to compete as best we can.â€

According to Price, the key for Barbers Hill to continue to compete in the coming years will be the participation of athletes in multiple sports. In talking with former Southlake Carroll and present University of North Texas head coach Todd Dodge, Price was told the key to success is maintaining the small school mentality as the numbers increase.

“The biggest detriment in the future will be specialization,†Price said. “As we grow, we need to keep the small school mentality. We need our kids to compete in multiple sports.

“Schools that have lots of specialization are limited in how well they can compete in all sports.â€

This past season, Barbers Hill started off on a strong note by winning district championships in volleyball, team tennis and cross-country. The girls’ cross-country team headlined those sports by advancing to the state meet with a third-place finish at regionals and finished 11th in Austin.

The football team was the lone sports program that did not advance into the playoffs. The Eagles finished 6-4 with a rebuilt team that had to replace 19 full-time starters and was fourth in the district. Under new UIL guidelines, the top four teams will advance to the playoffs this fall.

“It’s one of those things; the multiple qualifiers for the playoffs has been accepted,†Price said. “Year in and year out, there has been some competition that has been left out of the playoffs and that is why we went to two playoff teams in the first place.

“It is more beneficial that more kids get compete in the playoffs. We will just have to wait and see. I don’t have any negatives about it and if we make it, we will like it. But our goal is to win the district.â€

During the winter, both boys’ and girls’ basketball teams advanced to the area playoffs and in the spring, Barbers Hill got back to winning district championships. Both track teams and tennis teams won district with Jess Williams qualifying for state in the 800-meter run and finishing seventh.

The golf teams finished second in district 21-4A with the boys, paced by fourth-place medalist Austin Snell, taking fifth at regional. The girls took seventh place.

The baseball team was ranked in the top 10 for most of the season and won district before bowing out in the area round of the playoffs. The softball team also won district and advanced to the regional finals before dropping a pair of 1-0 decisions to Nederland in the final two games of the best-of-three series.

In all, three Barbers Hill athletes were named all-state and 10 received academic all-state mention. Sixteen athletes will move on to compete at the collegiate level next year.

The underclassmen will return to compete in 19-4A. Forest Brook and Smiley have combined into North Forest while Goose Creek Memorial and Kingwood Park will replace Huffman and New Caney. Crosby, Galena Park and C.E. King all return.

“This year the district will be more competitive with the addition of Dayton and the consolidation of Forest Brook and Smiley, especially in the boys’ sports,†Price said. “You never know but I think the addition of Kingwood Park will bring another level of competition in girls’ sports.â€

Barbers Hill will enter next season with a couple of personnel changes. A new softball hire is in the works to replace Kirk Hall, who accepted the softball job at Goose Creek Memorial. The football staff will also add a coach to replace long-time assistant Andy Terrasso, who retired this year.

Other changes include the addition of an auxiliary football field and track to decrease wear and tear at the high school facility.

The Great White Father aka Ronnie 'The Great' Thompson should read this and take a page from his former QB on how to run a successful program....

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
