Who is Groveton?

Alma Mater of Rodney Thomas, one of the greatest high school running backs the state of Texas ever produced.
I watched him play against Schulenburg in the Astrodome back in the late 80's or early 90's.

3700 YDS rushing in 1990....8400+ for his career.....truly one of the greatest.

[/quote] Trust me, I know how great he was. Hull-Daisetta played against Groveton and Rodney Thomas in the playoffs in 1991. Thomas killed us !! Later he went on to star at Texas A@M and then with the Houston Oilers.

If you are going by percentage and not total wins, well then I'd like to see how Hebert stacks up. They haven't been around for a while ya know ???

Hebert would move to the top of the list, 135-29-7, a .810 winning percentage.

I remember Coach Walkoviak talking to me about Hebert and all of the trouble they gave Jasper back in the late 70's and early 80's when only one team from the old 9-4A juggernaut would make the playoffs. Those were some of the best Bulldog teams ever and we couldn't seem to get past those guys...

I played against Hebert in the playoffs back in '81. Longest, most painful butt kicking I've ever taken in my life. They must've had 100 players on the sidelines and just kept rotating them in. We (Channelview) had an all-state stud RB ( Glen Langford-UT ) who they shut down. Down 7-3 at the half, we were already out of gas. Lost 29-3, if I remember correctly.....been awhile. ;D Playing SS, I squared up on Hebert's QB ( I think it was Davis, who went on to UH ) while he danced in the endzone, I pulled grass out of my helmet.  ::) ::)

Rock T must had made quite an impression on you 55. Did you go head to head with him?
[/quote]No Sir. My uncle was a stud linebacker in 1991 for H-D. #44 they called him the blonde bomber. He went head up with Rodney Thomas all night. My uncle picked off a swing pass intended for Rodney Thomas, as my uncle headed for the endzone Thomas slipped and fell down and still caught my Uncle from behind. What an athlete he was !! I myself played for H-D in the mid 90's, I also played groveton in the playoffs. The Horace boys were studs on those Groveton teams I played.

Alot of great players came out of Groveton.

They currently have a former player Lane Johnson playing TE for Oklahoma. He was their QB in high school.

I played against him a couple of years ago.  He was pretty large and in charge lol.  About 6'7, and a cannon for an arm....

    • The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.
