Who is the strongest HS coach in the district?

[setxsoccer]

good question

Bledsoe is probably at the top (Nederland)

[soccer.tx]

Who ended up taking the Vidor job?

[setxsoccer]

I guess Travis Maines, I think he was the assistant last year...

not enough people know the coaches around here

[soccer.tx]

and some of the coaches don't know soccer :?:

[Bread]

I'll probably go with Coach Bledsoe from Nederland, being as Coach Sturdivant left PNG after last season..... and yes Travis Maines is the head coach at Vidor now....

[AshlyHasBeen]

Did he really leave this time, he usually says that every year.

[soccer.tx]

that's what the word is. i have not looked at the website to see.

[Bread]

he left for sure, because he is now one of the head trainers at spindeltop select in beaumont....

[Jsmity]

The three best coaches in the area are Bledsoe- NED.... Smith-WB.... and Sandel-PNG... who is Spikes replacement....

Coach Wedel was my coach when I was back in school. We may have not gone to the playoffs but he knew what he was doing. He is now at LCM and they are lucky to have him. WOS will get their program back on track...

[soccer.tx]

Wedel really brought soccer to WOS. They had a few decent years before he got there, but he had them tie Nederland, PNG and LCM in OT that went into PK's. They have not even come close to that level of play since he left. Look what he did at LCM in the 1 year he had them.

[wos02]

he did not bring soccer to WOS, we had several teams that competed in the district, he was a good coach though

[soccer.tx]

huh...dan hooks gave wedel the credit, for taking soccer to the next level. the coach they have now has not built the program up, that is for sure. i feel sorry for the kids that have talent and desire over there.

[LC-MSOCCER]

Yeah, Wedel for sure. He's the best coach i've had that actually knows what hes doing.

[Champion]

They have soccer at WOS? Girls and Boys?

[Jsmity]

You know another guy who is a really really really good coach is Joe Fontana from Kelly...... he got his first coaching job with a group of u-17 Spindeltop Select guys.... 1st year with them 2 place in state.... next two years played classic... and in the final year they won the Premier Division Championship..... His years at Kelly have been just as impressive.... 5 players he has coached in the last 4 years are now playing College soccer........

Def. Wedel!

[setxsoccer]

Def. Wedel!

being from lcm I can understand why you put Wedel... the point of the topic is to expand on your reasons and try to convince the rest of us. Smity did a great job with his post about the coach from Kelly, do you see where im going with this? Im not picking on you 21 its just that if you are going to be a homer at least be a knowledgeable homer.

Be nice now. Coaches read the site here.

No disrespect, but Bledsoe's record wouldn't be what it is now without the strong club system in MidCounty.

First of all, the area lost a couple of great coaches this past year when Watson left for Bastrop and Spikes retired from high school coaching.

As far as best coaches in the area, a good coach is one who prepares his squad and gets the most from his players. Wedel's teams always have a good game plan and are solid in all aspects of the game. Also, Sandel is the epitome of class and knowledge, and that translates to his team. I expect both coaches to have their teams right in the hunt for a play-off spot in a very balanced district.

Where has Sandel coached before this year?

First of all' date=' the area lost a couple of great coaches this past year when Watson left for Bastrop

[/quote']

LOL, ill agree with that, but we do have our JV coach from last year, who I believe will do better than most people think...

[Bon_Mot]

Where has Sandel coached before this year?

He was the head coach at Central and was an assistant at West Brook previously.

[Jsmity]

Sandel is a great guy and a great coach... good friend of the family.... knows his soccer!!!!!!!!!! VIVA LA FUTBOL!!!!!!!!
