I am in the middle on this one. It is not across the board that they are bad but "most" coaches just want to coach and sometimes that is reflected in the classroom they teach in. However, I have had some coaches as teachers that were really good.

[quote name="BOBCAT@3D" post="1228959" timestamp="1338996946"] Just telling the truth. I am a Fregia, I went to Hardin, have 3 sons that went to HD and I have grandsons that will be Bobcats and we live in Raywood. Two of the players at Liberty HS are Fregia's and two more coming into jr. high. These are just the ones I can speak of. [/quote] I am just picking Bobcat.........I remember coaching in pee wee football and HD would be playing Liberty. A coach would yell Fregia and heads would turn on both teams......lol

Looks like the baseball coaches got complacent, fat and happy just like another sport at UT

The info I got is that they are both juniors and brothers. Heard they played at Barbers Hill and were decent size kids, probably 6'0 200lbs or more. Let's not forget Brady Ben was also a move in from BH last season, he is one of our top players at 6'2 230lbs. [/quote] It is HD after all, any kid is likely an improvement on another.  Especially if they are 6-2 and 230.  Nothing against Brady, but man how may 6-2 230 fellas you hiding in those woods anyway?  ;D [/quote]Brady is more like 6'0 215lbs, and yes we have some big kids. THe O-line this year is gonna be bigger than the last few years. We will average about 240lbs. Chris Taylor is a beast at 250lbs, Cook is 250lbs, Abraham is 230lbs and Stanley is 230lbs. [/quote] One of two things has to happen then, Jenny Craig needs to buy a single wide in Hardin County or you got to stop feeding them kids chitlins.  I mean, really!  You got 20 kids in 11th-12th grade and 5 can't fit on the bus.  "Taylor" .......  I think half the town of Hardin and Hull are Taylors.  ;D [/quote] Taylors and Fregia's

Pats, if you remove that persons individuality he may be scarred for life.

I guess I'm just too old school. [/quote]Are you talking uniforms? [/quote] No. Beards, crazy hair styles, etc... [/quote]LOL... okay!  I remember a day when, as a memeber of our football team, you had to where shirts tucked, clean shaved and dress shoes on game day.  Or else you didn't play.  Coach Bill Bryant, Center, TX 89-90. I'm old school too. [/quote] Yep. Those days are long gone for most. I played for Al Dennis at Baytown Sterling (Class of 1983). You were free to dress however you wanted, but you were also free to NOT play football. This day and age that would get you a visit to the school board and a possible law suit. [/quote] I agree Pats.......I was Lee in '82, Kramer and Dennis were very similar in those regards.

But, but, but......remember when we was good in the 70's..... Oh yeah, they also put Liberty County on the map.....lol. Nah, I think Price Daniels did that 8)

I think that makes district champs in everything but boys basketball correct?

Very True GCM......I think it is wrong but true

[quote name="Titletown2" post="1226802" timestamp="1338302791"]   Concussions in high school are a problem. This year all coaches have to go through a UIL concussion training course.   However, these former NFL players suing the league about concussions is BS!. You play a sport that basically requires you to bang your head against something repeatedly. What did they think was going to happen? I think the lawsuits will be settled out of court with the players getting better health benefits. Otherwise, the NFL will be sued out existence! [/quote] In the NFL or even college I think it is a more complex issue, and nothing can be proven one way or the other. If a player actually complained he was hurt and the "team" (coaches, trainers, doctors) all said nothing was wrong the player would have a gripe. Don't you think older guys that used to work in plants and refineries that have asbestosis or cancer directly linked to their profession have a gripe?

The twins aren't that stoopid

[quote name="panamamyers" post="1226602" timestamp="1338215499"] Goose Creek has no vision. They should have gone to one school back when they had the chance.  They went to three schools and now they are losing students like nobody's business at Lee. Lee may be down to a 3A school before long. They were ore concerned, in this everyone gets a trophy society, in having 3 valedictorians, 3 salutatorians, 3 drum majors, 3 starting quarterbacks, so on and so forth, than they were about having any sort of community pride. All three schools are pretty well mediocre to poor in every sport and in every academic standard you could come up with. So, no...I don't think they will combine Lee and Sterling.  If anything, they will build another high school so they can have 4 valedictorians, 4 salutatorians.... [/quote] Panama, Baytown missed a great opportunity to go to a one school system when Lee burned (late 80's I believe). Then they missed it again when they added Memorial and further diluted the talent pool with 3 high schools. I firmly believe this is the end of Lee (as a Lee grad I hate this). They need to go to a 9th/10th campus and 11th/12th campus. It is the only way they will be competitive across the board.

As much as we love the big hit & what it can do physically as much as mentally.. if we see less kids try to get the big hit and wrap up, the defense would see less broken tackles and players would suffer less concussions. [glow=red,2,300][b](Not forgetting that head contact with the newer turf leads to more concussions than contact natural grass)[/b][/glow][/quote] Could you show me that study?  I have been on some grass fields that are harder than concrete. [/quote] Dement Field, where North Shore and GP used to play, was like concrete with grass growing thru it.

Good luck Big Sandy

Alot must be 2 or 3

I am not arguing coach.....I tend to agree with you. My brother and uncle were coaches......I know the time demands and all the extras that go with it

[quote name="retiredoldcoach" post="1224630" timestamp="1337612314"] From a different perspective.  What happened to the days when the sportswriters went to and covered the games?  The next day the box score was in the paper and a fine write up was done about the outcome.  Those were the good ole days.  The excuse is going to be not enough reporters.  Sounds like a newspaper problem to me. The new age answer is to have the coach call in the game.  The coach has done his job which includes, bus duty at 7, facutly meeting at 7:30, taught 8 math classes and an athletic period, graded and recroded two hundred daily grades and tests, had two parent confrences, reviewed the scouting report, drove the bus to the game safely, coached his team to victory, drove the team home safely, monitored the locker room, recorded the statistics, waited for the kids to be picked up, locked up the school, returned the bus to the lot,  and is in hurry to get home to catch a glimpse of his/her family prior to bedtime. That lazy SOB! The reporter that needs the scoop to "do his job" should be proactive and go to work at this point.  Call and ask the coach about the game.  If the game is not covered in the paper and the reporter did not even attempt to call and get the scoop that he needed to do his job, I ask the question, who got their job done on this day?  The game was played, but there is no newspaper article. Analogy:  If a parent did not pick up a player from the school at midnight following the game, is it ok for the coach just to do nothing and leave him there alone?  Or do you think he might be proactive and make a phone call or even drive him home in order to succesfully complete his job on this day? [/quote] In older days I would agree but these days how many head coaches actually teach a class or 2 much less 8. I never see a head coach drive a bus anymore either.....except in the other sports (golf, tennis etc...)

What is the pitching matchup? Stegnet vs. Thames?

Who won? I am asking because I heard Tennessee lost their orange and white game.......lol
