I don't necessarily think its the end of the earth. For 30 plus years they had one head coach. I personally think they have had a hard time because they have been use to it being stable. I don't know about certain family's causing problems. I think they need to allow a young coach to come in and let him have control of everything regarding football. With Harper still there it could be hard having that looking over your shoulder.  I don't have anything against the previous coaches they have hired, but it's gonna be alot of work and patience to build that program back up and I don't think the coaches they have hired were in it for the long haul.

I thought that name sounded familiar. [quote name="longhorns91" post="1235446" timestamp="1342123092"] A Tenaha HS alumni, gets his first HC opportunity and the chance to coach against his alma matter in district. Congrats!! [/quote]

[quote name="Howard" post="1084601" timestamp="1318729908"] Makes all the sense in the world to me. There are 1A teams around the state and the area who dont make the playoffs this year that would beat them by 50 points. What about that doesnt make sense? I blame the UIL not Burkeville ..and I predict that they lose their first round game by at least 40 points easily. You have your opinion..I have mine. Period. I just feel sorry for kids who are sitting at home while another team not 10 times as good gets destroyed in the 1st round. [/quote] You just act all bent out of shape about it. Burkeville can't do anything about it. Most years only one of the 1A teams in SETX goes past the 1st playoff game. There are only what 2 districts in SETX and they're in different divisions (not positive), so should we give one of the playoff spots to a more competitive area of the state?

[quote name="Howard" post="1083659" timestamp="1318657087"] The shame is that Burkeville will prob make the playoffs with a record of 2-6. The UIL needs to do something to correct this problem. There are too many teams in 1a that are deserving to make the playoffs. I am sorry but a record of 2-6 should not be a playoff berth no matter how bad the district is. I understand that they did not choose the district...but to me, in my opinion, that is ridiculous. [/quote] Ok guy we get it. You don't like Burkeville, they suck, blah blah blah....... I agree there are too many teams in 1A that go to the playoffs,  but until they change it what's one more week. 

[quote name="raiderfan2010" post="1035242" timestamp="1313300327"] I was at the scrimmage West Hardin scored 3 td's but one was called back and Burkeville scored 1.. Sorry that the Stilwell boy broke his arm. They all played a great game and West Hardin looked good. [/quote] Thanks for the update. Is burkeville still running the wishbone or have they changed it up with the new coach.

Who's this Elton Hightower guy?  When you say Rose was rifted does that just mean they didn't extend his contract?  When I was in school Rose was not coaching but I bet he could have been a good coach to play for, IMO Burkeville needs some young blood in their athletic department.  Hamilton has been the football coach the last few years I think and I honestly think he is a great person, but he's been in retirement mode for a few years.  Hopefully Burkeville sticks with the basketball coach they have because I think the team really enjoyed this year.

It sucks to see some great people let go, but if they're already getting a retirement I don't see why they should be untouchable.  it's better to keep the teachers that still have years to go.  All school districts are going through this and I see alot of people not happy, but what else are they suppose to do to cut back.   I had to come back and edit this because I didn't see this the first go round.  If they really have 3 supers thats amazing, I've heard people say that schools are top heavy with too many administrators and this would fall into that category I would think.   [quote author=Red Rocker link=topic=80066.msg967761#msg967761 date=1297960873] Newton ISD has to cut people anyway so they can pay their three (yes 3) supts.  A small 2A school with three supts. As Don King would say "only in America". :D [/quote

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="976766" timestamp="1299186861"] [quote author=H.I._Cardinals link=topic=81147.msg976428#msg976428 date=1299169925] I believe he is talking about Coach Curtis Hamilton.  Harper is just the AD.  Although I wouldn't be surprised if Harper takes over the football duties and they let Hamilton go.   [/quote] Actually, I thought Harper took back over at football coach at the beginning of this past season. Doesn't surprise me about Hamilton, he has been in dutch with the Burkeville ISD for over a year now.  He darn near got fired last year! [/quote] When I was getting ready to do the previews, I was trying to see who was going to be coach and happened upon the minutes the the Burkeville ISD where they had taken action to remove Hamilton.  As to the specifics, I don't know as that discussion was in executive session and what was discussed in that session was not discussed. What happened last year if you can tell. I hope burkeville gets some young blood in there to coach football.

[quote name="nuthinbutnet" post="971526" timestamp="1298567701"] I am wondering why Burkeville played Spurger's game and not theirs? [/quote] The last game they played Burkeville was having a horrible shooting night.  I thought Burkeville could have beat Spurger the last game, but give Spurger credit, they can play some ball.

I'm not sure how many points #23 had (he probably had the most points on Burkeville's team) but he was awesome passing the ball.

Who does burkeville have left on the schedule?

Thanks for the updates

I think it was spy who said the winner would win by less than 5........good call. Now where's Abraham? ;)

WOW....sounds like it was a good game.
