If the numbers aren't down because of a coach, then why did my son tell me that [b]10-15 new kids were getting into football before we even have a new head coach.  These are kids who played a few years ago, but got out.[/b]  I guess they think the next coach will make it easy.

I wouldn't blame it on the coach. I would say these kids are probably weak. I would imagine there will much division from the kids who stuck it out and learned how to be tough.

So I guess working on individual skills is pointless.  Such as catching grounders, hitting in a cage, shooting free throws, dribbling drills.  All the things that you must have in order to be good at a sport.  Because it doesn't fit into your little categories, then the kids who practice them aren't working.  You have to have all of it in order to be good.  You have to work on speed, strength, and all those individual skills that you don't work your butt off doing.  Broaden your horizon.

See you are putting words in my mouth. Never said working on individual skills is pointless.  Do you honestly think that it takes the same amount of work in each sport? Wow is all I can say. I am about the big picture not the little screen you are veiwing from. OK so they have to work on speed, strengh and individual  skills. I agree with that, I though they were, except you guys seem to think they are not under coach Huck. You are a Huck hater I am a Huck supporter that will never change.

Only football players work hard?  Ridiculous statements.

Not what I said, If you think that the same conditioning applies between the two sports then I guess you never played football or ran track, because what you are telling me is that all sports are equal and require the same strenght and conditioning. If that is the case then what Coach Huck was doing was right on. See, I am about all sports not one. I am about the team not my kid. Not saying you are about your kid, just letting you know what I am about.

Here is the deal, am I taking up for football? Yes I am but only because Orangefield was down for many years and since Huck came we were winning again. I won't us to win in every sport.  Is that realistic? No it is not because in less a miracle happens we will never win in track and the sad thing is track is the key to everything. In order for Orangefield to be sucessful kids need to play multiple sports. You have to have your best athletes on the field be it football, basketball, baseball or any other sport. If kids start speacializing at a 3A school then the program is doomed as a whole and that is what we are taking about "The Whole Program" right? Lets see, football team was competitive, basketball had winning season, baseball went to the playoffs, Golf team won district, girls basketball playoffs, girls volleyball playoffs, girls softball playoffs and girls golf team district champs. I would say that is a pretty good year for Orangefield with Coach Huck as AD. Lets wait and see what happens next year, then we will talk again. I keep hearing Smalleys name come up, if he was smart he would stay at Bridge City and by the way I like Josh very much. Numbers are down at a lot of schools and I guess it is the "AD's" fault at all the other schools also.

Riding solo you cannot be more right, if you want a good program All must work, basketball cannot skip offseason and scrimmage , baseball cannot just hit, kids that want to just do those sports, more power to them , but don't blame the coach when he works their butt off to produce a football program.

The last word on that was what came from the Enterprise and that is that interviews supposedly started yesterday, so we should get a list (if they decide to release it) pretty soon.

I believe the target is to have the new coach named at Orangefield is next Monday night

      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.
