I have to say the MVP of Southeast Texas right now has to be Montana Quirante of Vidor. He is doing it on both sides of the ball, starting QB and MLB.

Now, does that say he is the best player? Probably not. But I believe it makes him the most valuable player in the area.


Best player from a statistical stand point has to be Hemphill soph. QB Justine Twine, who through just 6 games, has rushed for just over 2,000 yards.

I think that sometimes we get wrapped up in stats a little too easily though....

To me, when I think about who is the best player, I think about if I was hand picking a team, who would be the first player I would pick....

While Twine has put up fantastic numbers, what would he do against a 3A or 4A defense? I don't know, and we will never know....

Quirante is an interesting name because he is definitely the most valuable player to his team at this point....

I'm thinking as of right now, and my mind can be changed, that at the top of my list would be.... Hmm.... I don't know yet lol

Not trying to sway your choice but isnt that exactly what Justin Twine does also? He is QB and also goes back out on defense as MLB or safety, Jordan does too, actually theres not many that dont on our team because we have maybe 24 or so kids. He started last year as a 14 year old freshman as RB along side his brother, so in my opinion, that does make him valuable to his team. and yes I'm from Hemphill ( I KNOW my screen name wouldn't give it away...lol), but if it wasn't for our Oline, he might not get as many stats. Good Job O-line.

You have some good points here but may i add that playing both sides of the ball in 2A and 4A is a big difference. Most teams in 2A or lower have a lotta kids who play both sides of the ball. Thats typical but what you don't really think of is most of say your playing both sides of the ball but most of the kids on the other team are also playing both sides of the ball so yall are pretty much even but when it comes to 4A most kids aren't playing both sides of the ball so when you find one that does and is still doing what Quirante is dong thats something to speak of. Oh and Quirante was starting as a freshman also in MLB. And may i add this is his first year playing QB.  8)

2009 Starting LB's in the 3-4 Larimore, Johnson, Mojica, Robinson .  Quirante did not start as a Freshman although he did get playing time and what he is doing THIS year speaks for itself.

Quirante!
Apparently at the end of the Ozen game Coach Matthews was planning on a field goal attempt when Quirante stepped up and said, "No, I got this." At least that's what I recall reading in the paper. If that's true, it indicates the influence and value he has....as a junior in high school.

      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.
