This is a prayer my son gave me a couple of years ago.

Dear Father in heaven, I praise and thank You for using the sport of Football to draw me closer to You. I want to play this game so it is not about me, but all about You. I need Your Spirit to be in total control of my thoughts, actions, emotions and words. Help me not to worship the sport, but to be thankful for the skills and interests you have given me and to use them for Your glory. Help me also to encourage my teammates toward growth and maturity with You. Guide our coaches in making wise choices and help them be the kind of leaders You want them to be. Please keep all players free from injury, according to Your will, and bring healing to those injured. Lord, I trust You to renew my strength in times of weakness so that You will be glorified in everything I do. Help me to praise You in victory and defeat. I love You and thank you for your love for us. I pray these things in Jesus name, Amen!
Have a great season and stay safe.  Lets Go Pirates and all the young men for the up coming season.

I hope I can shake this young man's hand some day. That is a prayer that we could and should pray about life on a daily basis! I would add that God would protect all our our children as we have lost far too many due to tragic and sometimes avoidable reasons.

God bless all of SETX and especially those young men playing football...to all have a great year!

I know this young man, and I'm honored to have him represent the Vidor Pirates, he's a young man of character that has his Priorities right and is respected by teammates and coaches alike.

His prayer expresses an unconquerable spirit, real humility, strength of character and true sportsmanship. May GOD Bless each young men that step on the field and keep an arm of protection around them.

Thanks for the post TITAN POWER!!!

Thanks for the kind words.  His mother and I are very proud of the man and leader he has become.  Just like the rest of the Pirates football team,  they will represent our school and town with honor and pride.

Yes he is a great young man. One of the true leaders of the Vidor Pirates. And i'm sure it will show this season. I wish him and the Vidor Pirates the best of luck. May they have a great season. One to remember for years to come. GO PIRATES!

      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.
