If you remember there was an altercation with the OC during the state championship some say it was because the OC wanted to open the play book up down field and he shut it down. Who knows. But I do know he doesn’t like the forward pass and to move up in competition would require at minimum a balanced offense.

Crawford better get ready for the Double Wing. They will not throw the ball down field.

I don’t know. I would say Brookleland is the favorite. They are the only one with a kid committed to play at the next level. That is a difference maker in small schools. Who worked hardest in the offseason. Who handles pressure best will come out on top.

Any scores from 21-3A?

Chester should definitely make a run at the championship but, it all depends on how much work was put into the offseason. With these small schools the kids think they have to be involved with everything under the sun, which takes away from off season work. Which is where championships are won, add injuries that happen while participating in other sports this will end any dream of a championship. There are 3 schools that can make a run. Chester, Brookland and Groveton Centerville. Who has put in the work during offseason.

Woodville should have several to sign. They even hired a recruiting coordinator to get the kids signed.

Hopefully someone will step up and give you the games you need. It is not just for being prepared for your pressure situations but preparing the kids for the next level. They will play against very few kids from the 1a level ,most will be from the Juco level to transfer portal . Yes you are correct about being behind the 8 ball waiting on other sports. I have seen coaches and parents shuffling kids from games to practice and back. Add track to the equation with regional meets involved and you have a mess. A Jack of all trades is a master of none. Per a local D1 coach.

I hope they add some competition to this schedule . They will be in the state championship this year , this is not a very good schedule for a team of their caliber. Should be playing 3 and 4a schools.

I agree completely. The experience he and the team received this year will go a long way towards next year.

Think about this school vouchers that will be approved in the future will do away with transfer students. With the voucher program kids will be able to go to school where they want and their tax dollars follow. Carthage would have competition Jasper for instance could compete. They would be able to pull all the best football players from Newton Woodville Burkeville even Silsbee to play for them . Schools would specialize by sport. Silsbee would be the basketball hub recruiting Jasper Kountze and Beaumont area kids. Bridge city would do the same in Baseball. I think transfers will become a thing of the past.

Well said. This comes from someone who a higher than normal Football IQ.

This game will come down to coaching.

You are not alone in your thinking. I have seen this for years. Kids being played out of position coaches not knowing how good his kids are refusing to play them to optimize winning. Hunter is not the only kid not being utilized Rigsby is also being under played kid is a playmaker. Hard headedness and emotions have always gotten in the way.

Why is Hunter not running the ball more. smh?

Still disappointed we weren’t playing Newton. It is time to finally finish the season right.
