[quote name="RAA" post="1088188" timestamp="1319118853"] I  believe strength and conditioning is the most important part of being an athlete. Its the coaches job of whatever sport your talking about to make them more skilled at it. Some teams win because there more skilled, and some win because there physically better, but all teams and players can be better at both. [/quote]Yep, coaches with good time management can accomplish both during the off-season.

[quote name="no-look" post="1087937" timestamp="1319068112"] My first trip to the state tourney (and same today)was an eye opener. There would be two teams warming up. One was very athletic and big when the other was not......Then you say "this is going to be a blow out"  And usually it is but not the way you thought.....At Austin the more skilled teams usually wins. Weights are valueable  when used properly. [/quote] I understand your point. But I think when the unexpected happens it draws more attention.

[quote name="east texas bb" post="1087922" timestamp="1319064515"] The athletes are not so different at the HS level than the 80's athletes.  Subtle changes.  I do believe in the pro ranks that players from the 80's (yesteryear) and now are different.  The athletes of today are less skilled but they are bigger, faster, stronger.  Players of "yesteryear" (not sure when yesteryear's cutoff is) but we can say 80's to mid 90's,.  The priority in todays athletics is physical attributes, then skill work.  Yesteryear the priority was skills.  Not saying that either group could not have some of both attributes.  IMO, to be the best you need both.  But if you have to sacrifice, you sacrifice physical ability for skills. [/quote]Good points.

[quote name="GunsBaseball" post="1087587" timestamp="1319036132"] My son plays at HJ and he has said nothing about the field being burned other than "hey dad, someone burned a HF in the middle of our field". I dont think it is that big of a deal as you all are making it out to be. HJ's football program is in a bad place right now. The older kids are so used to loosing that they have developed a "loosers mentality" if you will. During the summer, when the coaches have no control over workouts, with the exception of opening the weightroom from 7am to 7pm, but you only see a handfull of kids there and 90% are Freshmen. So now we show up un-prepared and out of shape and start our season. So now, we loose a game and its time to blame the coaches. Then you have the parents second guessing everything the coaches do and relaying this info to their children. In the mean time, the coaches wives are setting in the stands having to listen to upset parents saying hurtful things about their husbands. I think the negativity starts with the parents. Get your kid to the weight room and start some off season training. Also, weight training and conditioning does not have to stop because football started. There is nothing like running the stadium stands for a football player. The negativity that is in those stands every Friday is spreading like a cancer. I tell my son every day when he goes to school, "be positive, yes sir, no sir to every coach you come in contact with, listen to them and do your best to please them because its going to pay off".  There are too many parents in the stands griping about who's playing where (which I am very guilty of), why freshmen are on the field (there are only 2 and in my opinion 4 more that should be there starting), why we are running this play, and "he better not yell at my kid". We have to get a hold of it, do our part as parents to get our kids prepared, and stop blaming someone else. And maybe, just maybe, we can shut up all these football critics with nothing better to do than get on a site like this and slander a bunch of kids. [/quote]Sir, yall been at HF too long 8)

[/quote] Yeah why should anyone work to be a "complete" player anyway?? Just pick a couple of skills and work on that.  ::) :o [/quote] I assume that you are belittling my last comment.  I am all for strength training and endurance training but NOT at the cost of skill training/improvement.  If you have a player who looks like Adonis and can dunk flat footed and run the 100 yd dash in 9.5 seconds, that is great.  However, if he can't make a free throw when it matters, or doesnt know how to "take care" of the ball and not turn it over, I would gladly sacrifice some of that strength and speed for a better set of skills.  I think Larry Bird is probably a good example of what I am suggesting.

[quote name="east texas bb" post="1087851" timestamp="1319057815"] I was just saying you can schedule different ways and be successful.  I think Coach Sutherland and Coach Davis know how to schedule best for their team.  The proof is in the pudding.

Can yall start listing the schedules now.  This football stuff is boring me. No more Tony Dorsett to watch.

[quote name="stevenash" post="1086960" timestamp="1318959845"] Superb use of the English language and I have a feeling that the Bulldogs will capture the title again.  I tend not to get too concerned about what somebody else feels about the district we are in or who we played.  We are regularly criticized for our weak schedule but that weak schedule has not stopped us from getting to the regionals each of the last 5 years.  Based upon that result, I am getting more and more convinced ( ;D) that the coaching staff may actually know and be better qualified to handle the details than posters on this board. [/quote]Must be weak regionals ;D

[quote name="Honest Abe" post="1086949" timestamp="1318959126"] I'm sure everyone knows by now that all districts are weak unless it's a district which Dove's teams are a part of (Nash-Sorry for ending  my sentence with a preposition ;) ). 20-4A was weak last yr b/c HF was not in it.
