Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Huntington will never be good in football unless there is a mass exodus outta Lufkin and/or Diboll. The last decent Huntington team (decent putting it lightly) had 2 very good Lufkin Panther transfers who ended up transferring back to Lufkin the very next year.

Tx.Moon Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I know Apple Springs played an outlaw schedule a couple of years while they went from 11 man to 6 man but I dont really see where that would help Huntington unless they know they are changing districts in the upcoming 2 year cycle. I say this because in the district they are now they only play 4 district games with Hudson and Central not having football programs....so, that is 6 nondistrict games they have to schedule anyway..I assume they could load up on Christian schools and class 1A schools etc but im not sure there are that many around....I have heard from some of my vendors that live there that the "good Ole Boy" system really is evident to the point the head coach has pretty much no say as to which assistants he can hire and they don't have a "total" program from the 7th grade up..i would think its hard to build pride in a program now whose best season for wins in 32 years is 3-7...

Guest Air Bisquit Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I wonder if they have won more than 4 games in a season, since football started there in 1982. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no-look Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 New coach will do ok with what he has. Probally the best candidate for the job. Huntington very seldom fires or reassignes football coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
