It seems to me that coaches get blamed a lot when things go wrong, but don't get very much credit when things go right, so I would like to give them a shoutout. Say what you will about our coaching staff, but you cannot argue with the fact that they had the boys ready to play tonight :)

Jeff Mathews and his staff should be 20-4A coaches of the year, not because of their preparedness for the games or their game plan but how they brought these kids through all the adversity. I mean, how much can a bunch of teenagers endure and stay focused through the season??? I'm sure they won't have any problems come awards time except where to hold the banquet.

I could not say enough good things about this coaching staff . I would like to commend each coach for his role in these young mens lives because you have taught them to believe in themselves . Thats Awesome ! My hat goes off to Jeff Mathews and his entire staff . I have waited 30 years to see what I am witnessing and it feels great . Confidence is brewing in Pirate country and this would not be possible without these coaches

I love the enthusiasm with which they coach and the way they prepare these boys week after week. However, what I'm most impressed with is how they keep  the players emotions in check, the respect they demand, and the discipline they have instilled.

These are all characteristics of a Jeff Mathews team.  Integrity starts with him and he expects it from his coaches and players.  Both on and off the field.

And to think that on this very board, more than a few folks were calling for a new coach in Vidor a couple of years ago....... :o.
Jeff Matthews is a quality AD, coach, and most importantly a quality man.  He loves his players and is very complimentary to players on opposing teams.  Congrats Jeff and all the super coaches he has hired for his staff!! 8) Keep it going Pirates!!  Orange County and 20-AAAA is supporting you all the way!!

Yea, it's a shame some of the things the coaching staff endures from fairweather fans. I watched Jeff start building the Vidor athletics programs starting with football of course, but some of the other coaches he has hired. Let's not forget that Jeff started Brian English's career as a head coach, he has an outstanding baseball coach in Kyle Green, we have quite a few state champion powerlifters (Bolinger) because of Coach Burks, etc. etc. etc. A lot of Vidorians knowledge of sports is limited to what channel ESPN is on. Jeff and his staff are our treasure and we need to do everything possible to keep them happy here in Pirateland.....

      It's a great day in SETX!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      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.
