This is probably the primary reason the chirpers above didn't feel like he was a good "fit". Might get in Little Johnny's way of being the first air raid QB in the history of the Orangefield program. Either way, I do not know Coach Breaux, and I wish him the best of luck. I just can't get over the fact that a coach with state championship experience applied for the Orangefield job and didn't get it. That's probably the darndest thing I've ever heard on this site! If they'd do a little research, the reasons he has had so many job changes are understandable and clearly worked to advance his career. His oldest is heading to Lamar and his younger son is about to be a freshman. Sounds like a pretty good shot for, at least, a 4-year term. If he delivers to Orangefield in those 4 years what he has delivered in Harmony in his 2 years there, I promise you the candidates for the job next time would be significantly better than the list they had for this opening. But, hey, we gon' run da spread!!

We are gonna have to consult our coach quality control specialist @Reagan for the proper answers to these questions. 😂

He has a son that is a going to be a freshman and is a QB. OF already has starting QB that started as a freshman last year. If they bring him in you know he would want his kid to be the QB. That would not sit well with the community because the freshman starter is very well liked by the players and community. OF community is very tight knitted. That’s probably a big reason they shied away from him.

How many coaches does Breaux get to bring with him? How many must he retain? How good are the ones he will be forced to retain? How good are the coaches he is going to be able to attract to Orangefield?

Not to be a negative Nancy, but having some good groups come through in JH usually doesn't translate to HS success. Back when I was in JH school, we destroyed everyone, went undefeated and were "district champs". Senior year in HS we went 5-5 and our coach got canned at the end of the year. 🤷‍♂️

The game is over and no grievance is going to change that . Move on.

Yep - PNG has to rely on coaching up the boys we have, and SOC openly rebuilds like they’re in the ncaa. They had no pass rush against PNG last year - If we face them next year, they’ll have an all new team tailor made to deal with us. It’s ridiculous. And , if they win we’ll all stand there and clap and pretend there was anything organic about their team. If we win, they’ll file grievances and try to put asterisks and insinuations on the victory. I’m not saying they’re breaking the rules by all these transfers. They’re a magnet school and PnG isn’t, etc. But the idea that all the schools don’t put their teams together under the same rules challenges the idea of high school sports altogether. .

I wondered how long it would take before this was mentioned!

Nothing agaisnt Breaux - I don't know him, but if you compare resumes with Jenkins, it's hard for me to understand why OF would pass on him...

First and most importantly, define "Southeast Texas".

The Mecca recruiting well to go after PNG next year. He must have moved for academic reasons…

In bold: hmmmm......did not know that tidbit.

Article from “DFW Inside High School Sports “ The PI call was correct, SOC cliff had time to come back but could not overcome PNGs defence. case closed.

Jeff Joseph to be named new HC at Nederland.

17-4A starts district this Friday. I will keep this thread updated with scores and standings as the season goes along

Good point, but I'll take a successful JR High team over a nonwinning group any day and I think this may be more true with the smaller school districts.

Reloading District Champs 2024

Ask and you shall receive! But OF didn't pay attention when I said they should hire the Harmony coach. So, we shall see what happens.

With 6 minutes left in the 1st ktz is up 86 to 0

I don't blame you on the fee, a man has to do what he can to make money in this economy. You need to hit the Ned booster club president up, i am told that crew will pay top dollar for any advantages....

1. Orangefield 1. Kountze 3. EC 4. Hardin 5. Buna 5. Kirbyville 7. Warren 8. Anahuac

I’m sure there may be some merit to this proposal, but I can see some failures with it too. What if 100 people want to sell their house to the county at the same time? How can the county afford to buy all of them? What will they do with them? Is this socialized realty? Lol. Call me crazy, but the less dealings I have with the government, the better. Also, being that it was proposed by a politician, a Democrat at that, it couldn’t be a well thought out plan.

Uhhhh the community wants wins and a coach who will put the kids in the best position to win. I didn't know positions were locked in regardless of who coaches especially after a not so good season. That's an absurd excuse there 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What exactly are you implying? That Jenkins was a “no go” because he was bringing in a QB like Sanders at Colorado?

Again, depends on what one thinks is Southeast Texas. My list would be vastly different because I consider our site's coverage area.

Well, it all depends on where OF's success bar is. But, from what I'm seeing from a few here he's got nothing to worry about! (Grin)

Does Coach Breaux get the '7yrs' treatment or not?

Actually there is on this page, that even you commented on 🤦🏻‍♂️. Plus on the local FB sports page…

Softball is an absolute JOKE,.

Thanks @KF89 I gotta agree with the pre district standings…

Ashton - WB Garrett- WB Dotson - BU #0 -BU Big Boy from BU Harris - Silsbee Miller - Silsbee Sells - Kountze Ghost - OF Jones - Silsbee

Almost page 10 💪🏾

Nah Katy is “down” right now… I think North Shore has an open spot though. I bet they struggle vs the Slot T

They would go 6-4 regardless of offense with that schedule and district. Lots of bold statements here that mean nothing. By all accounts, this guy is a good coach.

I’m happy for Coach Breaux and his family. Orangefield is in good hands. I know I’ve spoken against OF going to the spread, but if anyone could install it and get the offense off the ground (literally 😂) it would be him.

I thought it was the role players/bench underperforming that cost yall the game? Or is it the refs' fault now? Maybe if the Bobcat guards would attack the paint instead of jacking excessive amounts of long jumpers and slinging the ball to the other team, they would get to the free throw line more. In sports, there are no excuses. Only results.

Holy cow!!!! McNeese with an unbelievable dub! Straight miracle! Texas A&M Corpus Christi gotta be sick. McNeese wins it on a rebound and put back at the buzzer. 62–61. Islanders blew an 18 point second half lead.

And with the new format of shooting after 5 fouls in a quarter, I have seen many quarters with no FTs.

I thought Bellville would be trying to get Katy High for Week-2😁🤣

So would Lufkin and BH. I think Lufkin stays North and gets put in the same district that Tyler High will be in. Lufkin is a geographical nightmare honestly.

Jenkins is a good coach but has been in 3 places in 6 years. Need someone that wants to stick around, not just pull chocks whenever he feels like it.

You can rest assured if they were good I would certainly agree and post it and be happy with it. As of now they are not and IMO people need to know it. Especially the new AD or if it HS , the administration Lamar’s FB hire seems to be a good one, however both basketball teams, softball, and baseball hires are not getting the job done at Lamar

5A D1 District 8 or 9 in every mock. He just forgot to put them in what he typed. Gotta look at who posted it, if you know you know 🤣

That's one of about 7 different mocks I've seen for the local 5A D1 district.

Harmony absolutely and unequivocally "does not have better athletes than OF".

It was. Very very very conservative game for PNG, both offense and defense. By-and-large just run up the middle all game long, until they broke one for a 30-yd TD in OT. WOS defense line finally got wore down, basically.

That Seahorn kid they had was a dude though. Outside of him Jenkins did a heck of a job putting kids in a scheme that allowed them to be successful.

His Freshman son 6'3" 198, probably would have been the starting QB if he got the job.
