[quote name="hawkeye81" post="1408538" timestamp="1369663565"] After what I witnessed Friday maybe the HF Job Open, as this thread is titled, should be for the AD.  As a former coach I would like to personally apologize to the athletes who participated in the signing on friday.  I have attended MANY signings and this was by far was the most embarrassing display of school pride I have witnessed.  The AD, who is in charge of hosting this ceremony, had very few words to say and the few words that were spoken were done with no emotion.  As if he was just trying to get it over with as fast as possible.  No local media was present.  I believe there was 4 athletes signing and the entire ceremony was over in about ten minutes.  In fact, there was suppose to be a 5th athlete who had a conflict on Friday, however, the AD would not move it to another day.  Sad for these young men.  When an athlete moves on to play at the next level its a big deal for the community, the schools athletic program, the student and the parent.  This should have been a time for celebration! According to the buzz I heard in the short ten minutes I was there, this man is not well liked! One person said "oh he talks a good game when needed, but becomes a completely different character behind closed doors"  He has been at HF for a year now and I guess his true colors are starting to show.  They always do in time. [/quote] He probably was not hired on his ability to host signing ceremonies. I am sure the athletes that signed don't appreciate your comments though. Its about their great accomplishments, not how long the ceremony was. Congrats those that signed, and we are so proud of you. What else is there to say?

Cool! Love 7/7

Should be fun!  ;D

Sucks yall got to go out of town for rice festival. Oh well, football is more important. haha

He was being recruited by A&M in 8th grade. I think they are interested.

[quote name="Rizon" post="1408197" timestamp="1369435507"] Bet you the baseball coach doesn't retire...he'll surface somewhere. He doesn't want to work for this AD and if a class act doesn't want to work for someone that tells me something. So if the AD loses next year he should fire himself if he fired the softball coach after two bad years. From my sources the girls basketball coach left because of the AD...didn't want to work for him. I was in this business for a long time and I will tell you the way he is doing things...is not the way you do them. Horns93...you drinking the wrong kool-aide my friend. Maybe I am wrong...time will tell. [/quote] Yes Rizon, you are wrong...my kool-aid is "crystal clear right," time will tell that we have the right AD at the right time for HF.

[quote name="Rizon" post="1407880" timestamp="1369360813"] [quote author=BADSANTA link=topic=112144.msg1407867#msg1407867 date=1369359580] No way they make it this year. I think HF will be there. [/quote] Only time will tell but considering HJ beat HF last year and returns a lot while HF graduates a lot I'll go with HJ. Game could go either way though...I see the district like this: Silsbee WOS BC HJ OF Buna HF [/quote] HJ lost one of  their best player and coach. HF will have an experienced line and talented skilled positions. Should be fun.

[quote name="Rizon" post="1407845" timestamp="1369356275"] So the new AD has run off the baseball coach, girls basketball coach, and reassigned the softball coach. My sources tell me a lot of unhappy people out there. MaHaffey was a class act. Softball coach had been there since I moved to the area. Do not know much about the basketball coach. Maybe someone with deeper sources than I have can fill me in...I'm not connecting the dots on why here. HFfan5...any idea of those assistant coaches plan on staying? [/quote] Connect these dots...Mahaffey was a class act...The Baseball Coach Retired..... The Softball Coach has had a horrible record the last 2 seasons....so they are getting new leadership there...... Just because softball coach has been there a long time does not guarantee her keeping the job....if they are not improving.....Girls baskeball coach has done a good job and got a job at a bigger program...good for her.....Sounds like the AD is doing a great job..... He is doing his job......Assistants (Leaders) have to show they are able to be led....before they are giving the job to lead......dots connected.

If they can get to the State Championship game then it is possible.  :P

Kane Harris is the AD. Coach Morris is replacing Wayne Mahaffey who retired after a great career in coaching.

Anything is possible.

Heard that Jarrod Morris, who was assistant baseball coach at 5A Midland Lee, was hired. I have not seen this on the news. Said he played ball for Lubbock Christian University.    Good Luck Coach Morris!

yes, it is possible.

Hopefully the 3A division split happens and the smaller 3A school can compete with each other. HJ will do better.

That is awesome.  I went and checked your schedule and noticed that you play a lot of Houston teams. Why is that? Your district is different for basketball than football?

Basketball will never rule over football. Remember that's why they got rid of the Football program at Lamar in 1989. As soon  as Lamar dropped it the basketball program faltered and the enrollment went down. Lamar spent the next 20 years trying to get football back.  So, the answer to your question is yes. HJ does want a good football program as well as a good basketball program.

HF 57--OF 49

I guess title 9 does not apply to SETX sports. We are spoiled on the boys side with their district standing updates.

Wow, miss 2A yet?

Hate to see him and one of HJ's best players leave. Take care Martel's

The only thing I hate about these list is there is always someone deserving that does not show up. But Congrats to those on it.

[quote name="HFfan5" post="1316302" timestamp="1351803154"] Hamshire**** For god sakes lol. H-F has some really good pitching coming back this year with Jannise, Herring and Johnson. If they can get the bats going they could easily compete for the second or third spot [/quote] Forgot Jeffcoat. BC does not like Herring or Jeffcoat. Jannise was a problem.

Who cares where they are from. I don't watch Texas or A&M because of how many SETX boys are on the roster. I watch because they have good programs. Who ever started this thread got their feelings hurt or something. If Lamar was undefeated last season no one would not care if every player was from tim-buc-to.  The fact is SETX is well represented, but  we do not compete well yet in the Southland Conference. This is essentially a new program, so give it a rest. They have done well so far and should continue to improve. The program should be evaluated on wins and loses, not how many local boys are on the team.

I am guessing this is Nederalands quarterback?  If so, great job on your season and the impressive win over the Pearland team.
