The problem most Mustangs have is the way the hiring process went. Everyone knew Hickman was the predetermined choice and that nobody else had a chance. Including the other coaches on staff that have been there for longer. The experience factor may not be too much for Hickman to overcome. He has been here for 6 years and likely learned more under CT than he did as Silsbee DC. 112% committed to whoever the new coach is. Nothing is set in stone. But the agenda for Monday's board meeting will make it official. There's a chance for citizens to speak, and I believe some will have much to say on this issue. Another thought... with all the racism claims being made recently. Perhaps CT said, "here you go, I'm out, have fun". The only thing against that is the man has so much pride in what he and others have built here. I can't see him handing over the keys to the bus knowing it's heading for a collision.

Was trying to keep this quiet til Monday but the cat is out the bag now 😂

As opposed than a dyed in the wool Foreman supporter?

Silsbee’s biggest problem in the past has been defense. And WOS hired their former DC. Idk

Watching Vidor play is like watching the movie Teen Wolf before Michael J Fox became the wolf.

I just mean that the official vote will be made during closed session. I bet they do, what's not to like about someone dedicated to the students.

They just started stirring the rue at png. Wo-S just finished their Gumbo and it taste awful

Me and @BMTSoulja1 have had convos about that very thing in bold.

Kind of makes you think of Dan Hooks who had never been a head coach in the mid 70’s. He was the DC at WOS til his head coach decided to leave and propped him up for the head job… Nuff said.

Harris finished the night with 27 points. Had 23 in the first half. Could have done a lot more damage than that if it was necessary and he played more.

you are very much assuming wrong. i am a WOS fan in football because they consistently represent the area. in other sports i don’t cheer for a single team, honestly could care less results. i want good game, injury free, safe, and FAIR game - nothing more nothing less

Final. Kountze 83. Woodville. 78.

Well Memorial looked frozen on the court 1st half so I guess it makes sense.

Someone just north of wos must ve seen the future with his remarkable timing of taking a new job (going 4 rounds deep)then neighboring school HC retires. Pure genius.

PN-G just played 3 rounds. They don’t have the most talent, and never have. PN-G has always played above their talent level and beat teams they have no business beating. Faircloth got the most out of his kids and teams, IMO. While he was there, PN-G had a prolific offense, something there weren’t accustomed to on a yearly basis, and that was all due to Faircloth. He had a great offensive mine. His team’s weakness was always defense. He could never find someone to lead a decent defense and I assume that’s people “gripe” about him. Good luck finding someone to put up the points he put up year after year, and then getting them to play defense like a WO-S or Carthage, with the talent level they have. Sometimes you don’t know how well you had it, until you lose it.

I agree. They are about to learn all about “The grass ain’t always greener”!

Goes completely against the Dims and CardinalBacker’s narrative!

If Faircloth leaves I want fresh blood. No one with ties here.

1 year at Kelly and the next 2 1/2 years at Memorial. I think he got kicked off the team halfway through his Sr year.

I believe PNG has a couple of names in mind already. As I have said before, if you don’t know the whole story then you don’t need to be making comments on who should be blamed. When or if the truth comes out those who did may be eating crow. If those in the know want you to know then they will tell you.

3rd I think

Gotcha - basically after Memorial opened. Based on accomplishments (in HS), that group is the second best since Memorial opened (except for Clover who started and played heavy minutes on the best Memorial team). Chatman, Valsin, Keller, Jones, Wesley, etc was clearly the best group.

Well said. I do not have anything against Coach Hickman, heck I do not even know the man. I can truthfully say the comments I’ve heard from people and the ones I’ve read have all been positive about him so there’s that, also I worked with a guy that lives in Silsbee and had kids involved in HS athletics there back when he Hickman was there and I remember back when WOS hired him he said we were getting a good guy so there’s that also. It’s just the way this superintendent went about this whole process. He had the guy he wanted come h*ll or high water. No matter who applied.

This hire just sped up the process

You overthinking and missing the point. What has happened after those first 3 in that post left? The start of a decline.

I looked at this whole game. Looks like about 95% of all PA shots were either throw up shot (shots they prayed go in) or good shots that were just blocked by BU. Horrible shot selection. Don’t looks like there’s any good guards as the back court turnovers was a problem all night. Tons of one on one ball that most of the time ended in a turnover. And when was the last time that I’ve seen a PA team with ZERO 3 point shooters? This was not good at all and I’m not saying it because of how they looked vs #1 5a BU, but goodness gracious. PA basketball is in a bad place and I’m starting to question where the blame should be placed…

Makes sense. BF was the person Riordan called to ask about the Crosby job when he was coming from Sulphur Springs. I’m sure Riordan was the first person BF called and probably got recommended by Riordan seeing as how that job would’ve been his for the taking.

He’d probably be too hard on the momma’s babies!!

Is this a start for all of PA athletics not being good? You talked about football going to be rough but basketball too?

Bill had been on vacation. He came back last night & verbally b-slapped several Dems & Sotomayor. Referring to Sotomayor’s totally off-base accusation of children & Covid, Maher said, “I mean that’s really ignorant for a Supreme Court Justice”. [Hidden Content]

That's what I am hearing as well.

Evadale 46 Deweyville 37

Thank you.

Texan Live Froze at Halftime still not working. United 51 -17 3rd Qt

If we are talking pro, he isn’t in the same hemisphere as Mahomes.

I turned it off at halftime. 🤷🏾‍♂️

54 -18 at the half. Everyone got to play in the first half. 3’s we’re falling like rain.

He won't get it unless he does it by the 3rd quarter the way things are currently going. Probably already has 20+ points right now.

HJ up 32-24 with 2:12 left in the half. They aren’t playing very well. They can’t buy a 3 and are about 2/10 from the ft line since I tuned in.

I don’t believe the players care about Coach Hickman getting the HC position since they already know him. What I’m really surprised at is how WOS fans are not backing our new coach. SMH.

Dang it Archie!

This is a very realistic possibility that people don't want to acknowledge. Biden's presidency has gone so poorly that all the right needs to do is put out a capable candidate and they should have an easy victory in the next election. The only way that doesn't happen is exactly how you spell it out... people still vote against trump, or just pick the new dem nominee and hope he/she's better than biden. There's also the possibility that trump says or does something that reignites the hatred for him before the election. He really can't help himself. Crapping on other republicans who might challenge him in the primaries isn't going to do him any favors, either.

Bingo...

If he loses more than 2 regular season games, it will only be a 1-2 year thing. Lord have mercy, I hope this wasn't his motivation. WOS will now begin to fade back into a typical local program, and not a state power. The door is open for someone else to grab the mantle and run for SETX.

Personally, I am happy for H. He is deserving. I just hope he is given a fair shake on proving himself and this not be a 1-2 year thing. Got to have more time than that. I also think the district could not have done wrong by hiring Toby. It would have been a good hire as well.

I am going out on a limb and say it's the OC Daniel Ragsdale. Seems that the hew requirement is that the job only has to be posted in a public place. It was posted on the Job Board at the Administration Building on I-10. So in the words of a decommitted superstar- "No interviews".

If my kids are in the car with me i'm erring on the side of their safety when it comes to my decision making in a situation like this.

Actually I believe that was John Rino McCain CB.

I have spent some time studying this subject and I can say with 100% certainty, every head football coach at any level, never held a head coaching position before he was selected the first time.
