Kountze has always had issues with their fb program. Like it or not the AD situation is a key detriment to the program. They lost some good quality coaches when that went down a few years back. They may be looking for 2 new head coaches now.

If I was one of the finalists and the board couldn't decide on me after this process I can't say I'd want the position now. If Coop wasn't joking and they truly were allowing Joubert in at this stage of the process I'd pull my name and tell them to stick it. Besides Joubert needs to come to Silsbee when Travis leaves.

Todd is the best coach in this area. He builds kids up and has them perform at levels higher than their abilities really should allow. He is a stand up guy that models his expectations. He did the same when we were in Kountze. To those HJ faithful who think you know everything, go educate yourselves and get a coaching job. Until then how about you go polish those state trophies this man has.

That kind of stuff always happens. I heard folks slam Todd one year when he was still in Kountze when they lost in the state finals. One of them was the middle school volleyball coach at the time. Travis experienced the same nonsense the other night when HJ won in Silsbee. Some parents are just straight up ignorant.

Where is he leaning BKJ?

I would have to have more information on the incident to give a better answer. I would wager the charges were either felony or this is tied into an incident that may have occured on campus. I am going strictly by TEA rules and not individual district policies.

This was not on school property. I don't condone drug usage but let's get our facts straight. Your right, I will give you that. I didn't notice the fact that the quote was in a bullet underneath that. So, let me ask you this question. A student gets in a fight off campus, charges are filed against him by the other kids family, that kid is scooped up and sent to AEP until those charges are dropped. How does that happen? Because it has. Was he charged with a felony such as with a deadly weapon? That would force the DAEP hand. Off campus felonies are a whole different ballgame.

To answer the question...no the school does not have to suspend or do anything to this student according to the law. Does the BISD district take it upon themselves to place any student in DAEP for commiting off campus misdemeanors? I assure you every weekend there are many students caught by police violating laws. look no further than the juvenile justice department at the courthouse. Saying that if there is an athletic/campus/team policy then that is above and beyond what is required by law. It is very likely that the coach was unaware of this incident if the kid(s) didn't talk. Saveat has done a good job this year considering the circumstances he has been under. I find it hard to believe he is covering anything up.

Nice cherrypicking of information. : Did we forget this little nugget of information to include? This was not on school property. I don't condone drug usage but let's get our facts straight.

After glimpsing through some of these posts it is sad how ignorant so many posters here can be. I am against drugs and do not support them in any shape or form, but the law is the law. The kid has a misdemeanor that occured OFF CAMPUS. There may be an established rules of conduct agreed upon by the team but there is no UIL rule associated with this sort of thing. For those who think they know education law, educate yourself on Chapter 37 of the student discipline code. Off campus misdemeanors do not require a school to place a student in any DAEP setting. Off campus felonies may and in some instances require DAEP. Local law enforecment agencies are supposed to notify schools of off campus felonies within 3 days many times they are notified even with misdemeanors. This was not a felony and did not require such especially if it wasn't in the same county. So before folks throw a coach, administration, or more importantly a student under the bus know your facts. If anyone has any questions I encourage you to contact Mr. Leslie Smith the director of discipline for TEA.

Different county plus not required to report misdemeanor. Barring a team rule he can't be deemed as breaking a school rule. Sad nonetheless.

When all else fails start criticizing the lower levels. We might as well go ahead and state how the Silsbee 7th grade is a dominating group in bball and fball since afterall we want to talk future here.

Actually, both teams were fine with using the Bmt. Chapter. They each provided who they did not want from the Chapter. It wasn't the case of one school not wanting to use the local chapter. It was requested to go outside and use the UIL.

Maybe they view those projects as being a higher priority. What makes their decisions ridiculous and what business is it of an outside group/newsrag to determine such? It would be great if folks played a more active in their school boards and fully understood the entire picture. I would be curious as to the parental involvment the schools receive. It is truly sad when the only things coming from a school appear to be negative and adversarial between the community and school.

Agreed! Whether the decision is deemed by some to be right or wrong at least have the conviction to stick with your decision.

So wouldn't the school be violating state rules by singling out "failures"? The TEA already sent out a warning about having a TAKS reward "party" due to the school in effect showing who passed and failed. Schools can't share that information. There is no way their administraion did not received that notice. It came out in October. WOS surely would face lawsuits based on "sharing" confidential student informtion.

I wonder if people on the street would spend $2-3K to get the best AP Microeconomics teacher in the state???? Sure, the same day the economics dept. brings the income the football program does, no problem. Never understood what makes a football coach worth so much more in education than a teacher........I guess now I do. :-[ Actually if one was to really look at the numbers one would find football does not make that much money in the big picture.

With money the way that it is stadiums need to be on the backburner. I know they are great and exciting to look at and watch a game in, but with schools struggling to get funding, folks losing jobs or struggling to make ends meet the focus should be using those resources on students in the classroom IMO.

Does anyone even attend these games? I seen a brief glimpse of Armed Forces/First Responder weekend and it looked empty. How long until they fold like a lawn chair? ???

Too bad KBMT is too cheap for hd.

Interesting if he is done for awhile. My money then goes on Joubert.

If I'm not mistaken the kids have to have 5 consecutive days off.

What not accurate? This was mentioned early in the season if not before the season. (I don't feel like tracking the post down.) Folks act like it was some backdoor deal that no one knew about when that obviously wasn't true. Others act like the program will all but die due to the buses not being used. And it is to the point you'd think some would rather have staff fired than to have buses run. This is how it is coming across. WOS will be fine. The kids will manage getting to practice. I probably know more about the internal central office at WOS than you'd imagine.
