Congrats Lance.  I know you'll do a great job. Lance is a 1st class guy.

AAW.    Very nice write up on Duane.      He deserves a shot at AD, he has been putting in work at Kountze.  He did a great job while at Hardn also.  Good luck Joub you know you have supporters around you wherever you are.

I wish the man well. I doubt anyone here wants to see him fal.  It is just strange to move a junior high coach to. Head C/ AD position.  I could even see having another coach there as AD and interim HC for the 1st year.  Most HS Head C have coached on the varsity leve.  Been a coordinator, etc.  Best of luck. Anyone have knowledge of the stats of middle school coach to AD jump in Tx?

Is he the St Annes middle school coach ?    Hired over the existing coaches there and some other coaches?  What's going on

There is a lot of that in AAU .  I'm ok with the GEs which are older kids that are in a grade.with younger kids either because of failing a school year or being held back because of maturity issues or athletic purposes.  It usually catches up to them, when the rest start catching up to them puberty wise. And it helps the kids who are playing in the correct age group, as they are already playing older, stronger players.

That is a slap in the face to not offer the AD to Joubert.  I am sure this will mean more changes to come.

Congrats Bealoved.  You have worked so hard. I've seen you since you were little and you always work hard.Great job.

Good luck to the local teams and players going to Nationals and end of Summer tournaments.  Work hard.

Jason Henry from West Hardin ?  Good Coach and used to be at Kelly.  Haynes has applied is what I have heard. 

Leave it where it is,  Mine can't be there the next week !   LOL

At one time Kelly had an endowment fund.  They also have a pay by your income.  You still have to take a entrance test and maintain your grades to stay there.

No word on applicants / interviews yet?

Kelly and Hardin have a scrimmage scheduled this season, should be interesting to see who is coaching where.

Coach Long wanted to stay at Kelly as long as he could.  Great Man!  He is leaving to be closer to his family.  He is blessed to be able to work as an Assistant at a school closer to his parents and work toward retirement.  He has been exceptional at Kelly and toward the community.  I was the President of the Beaumont Bulls Youth FB League when they played at Kelly, and he was a true inspiration.  He did everything he could for those young boys.  He also did the same for the Beaumont Bulldogs since they started playing there.  As for as who will replace him, Good luck to that Coach, Kelly has alot of talent there and a ton of support from parents, fans, staff, and Ex Bulldogs.  Good Luck Coach Long from the Dumas family

Congrats Bealoved,  Hard work pays off !!

Read the article online.  He's leaving for Clear Creek area. Stay tuned. 

They did do well.  There were several 4A school there,  Maybe in the big school division, except for Defenders whbo were all to be sophs and 1 to be jr.  Small school division had mostly jv teams,.some freshman teams and a all incoming freshman team.  Great competition. Saw a lot of talent out there.  Lindale a 3A schoool had a sr post player, all state this yr, was the most impressive post I saw

Local Houston Defender Select players, played in a team camp at A&M this weekend.  15U team got 2nd overall, defeating varsity teams from Houston, Austin. And Dallas area.  14U team lost in Elite 8 in smal school/ JV division.  Incoming freshman at Central and Dayton played great. Sophmore at Hardin did a good job. Great to see local talent out there.

I got to watch Nederland this am, while at A&M, impressive 3 point shootiing.  Not a lot of size, but talented. They beat Whitesboro and lost to Clear Creek.

Nederland is putting in work,  lots of size and athletes out at A&M.  A few other SE Tx boys getting work with their selct teams also.  Pretty impressive so far.

Got to see lots of S E Tx talent today.....looking good out there,  Hoops,  team sneed and Defenders. Great job guys.
