Why are we even discussing the topic of coach of the year if one of the stipulations for winning this "award" is winning state? If you guys don't like it that so many West Hardin fans are on this website, then go get fans from your town to get on and cast a vote. We can't help it if your teams don't have the fan support that ours does! Warfan, I know you weren't trying to be negative or anything, but actually Fuller took over a team with NO senior starters last year, and the only reason they were in 2A last year is because it wasn't a redistricting year. Numbers-wise they would've been in 1A last year, too. This was his second year with them and he brought them a long way. (Just b/c I'm responding to your post here, doesn't mean I'm clumping you in w/ the next two...you're an intelligent poster and I respect your opinions.) Ltown, do you not see the irony in the fact that you're dogging WH fans for being on here so much, yet YOU are on here CONSTANTLY completely OBSESSED (for some very weird reason that I haven't quite figured out yet) with West Hardin High School basketball. Cayuga boy, "sore loser" doesn't look good on you. And it was VERY unintelligent to run down the team that knocked you out of the playoffs; if we're such big losers, then what exactly do you think that makes you?

Can I just say(again)...I AM SO PROUD OF MY HUSBAND!!! Oilers, you have had an AMAZING season! I know it's hard right now to accept that it's over, but you have no idea how proud we are of you! I admire and respect you all as players and people. There's no other team in the state of Texas that I would rather stand behind! Take the same drive, ambition, heart and integrity that you played with this season into the rest of your lives and God will bless all that you do. Honor Him in the way that you live and He will be faithful! Mindy FULLER (and couldn't be prouder )

BUMMER!!!! You guys are awesome and we (WH fans) were all pulling for you. Great season!!

I don't have a prediction, but I will be praying for each of the Oilers (coaches included) that God will grant them the ability to play tomorrow's game to their fullest potential with all of the talent, skill and abilities that He has given them.

Rub-a-dub, I'm not trying to be mean or rude either, but, of course we think we could win. Nobody is saying we're going to stomp them into the ground or that we KNOW we're going to win hands-down or anything like that. A "fan" is someone who supports, admires, cheers for, likes a certain team, celebrity, singer, sport, etc. We're called "West Hardin" fans because we support, admire, cheer for and LOVE West Hardin...why is it so strange to you that we think our team could beat Martins Mill? And why does it bug people (I'm not saying necessarily you personally) so much that we get on a website that has a forum about basketball in southeast texas and support our team? In case you haven't noticed, West Hardin is a "really good team," too.

I was praying the whole time!!! Way to go OILERS!!!!!!!!! I've got people in Galveston cheering for you guys, too! Now, do not stay up late tonight! It ain't over! You've got a ten o'clock game, and I know some of you probably aren't usually up by 10 on Saturday! I'm praying for God's favor to rest on each of you as you play your BEST GAME YET tomorrow! Love you guys!

Hey, Ltown, I have a challenge for you: I'd like to see if it's possible for you to make a post without insulting, degrading or otherwise disrespecting someone in it. Perhaps you could read other posts and see how it's done. MOST people on this site are able to state their opinions respectably without having to put other people down.

I haven't seen Cayuga play, but from what I've heard, this is going to be a pretty even match as far as talent in the starting five on each team. Someone posted that Cayuga is a classy team...I'm glad. WH really is a classy team also, so this should be a great, competitive game between two VERY respectable teams. I'll be shocked if it's a blow-out either way.

Thank you guys! I had a doctor's appointment this morning and things are stable...your prayers are working! Please keep praying. I occaisionally send out more specific updates via e-mail...if you would like to receive them, just pm me with your e-mail address and I'll add you to my contact list. Ya'll are amazing. Thank you so much for your prayers and for supporting and encouraging me and Kent through this! Love, M

That would be awesome! Who's not proud to be from SE Texas right now???

WAY TO GO, OILERS!!!!!!!! Now, forget about Broaddus and set your sights on Cayuga. Brandon, some of these posters just don't learn...I think you're going to have to go off AGAIN like you did in the district championship game to shut them up.

As a mom, I can't imagine anything more devestating. I will absolutely keep this family in my prayers. May God give them the comfort and strength that only He can as they walk through this terrible time.

You know what's funny? West Hardin fans get on here and support their team...there is NO trash talk on here about the talent of our opponents. Then whomever we're scheduled to play gets on here and talks about how they're going to stomp all over us. Oh well, let 'em talk. Slocum talked even worse smack and we beat them like they had no business being in the playoffs! Same things could happen to Cayuga....we'll see. Cayuga smack talkers, please note: I said "could happen" instead of "will happen" since I don't actually see the future...learn something. Oh, and by the way, you better be careful what you say about Letsinger on here, you don't want to get him fired up...hear anything about the district championship game against Big Sandy?

This is SO EXCITING!!! I'm pulling for all of our SETX teams!
