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.

That coach was Davin Nelson. He was the DC at that time, He also wanted the head job at Woodville.

It is disappointing not to meet back up with Newton butttttt, this is a very intriguing game. Does anyone on this board remember who was the defensive coordinator in 2015. Why did he leave. Was the final score in the Newton game a message for Woodville??? This game will be interesting to say the least.

The only thing I disagree on is 1 game would be historic because Woodville has never made it past the second round no matter how much talent they have. Having said that I agree with everything you say, which is why the only outcome that is acceptable is a rematch with Newton in the playoffs and their defeat.

He has done well considering the lack of experience. His speed is now getting him noticed by the Big 10 and SEC. Even our friends in Newton are impressed with his progress. Everyone is expecting a rematch with Newton. Time will tell.

Grand Saline is not Newton. A loss will only extend historical outcomes.

In this lower classification they better meet back up with Newton again.

Woodville by as much as they want, should be a running clock the 4th quarter.

Wow, this got sideways. I guess because Newton owns Woodville on the Football field some how it is racist. No sense of humor at all. I feel sorry for you.

I haven’t disappeared. This is just an expected outcome. History is the undefeated champion. Just for fun, next year we can call the rematch with Newton the Who’s Your Daddy Bowl. I would have to say, it is the Purple Eagles. Haha.

Be Careful Hometown kid might be offended. But I AGREE Completely!!

I agree completely. The talent is there. Butttttt! will history repeat itself again.

Discipline issues still costing Woodville. But played much better.

You are correct. If we play like that you will beat us by 50. We do have the talent to compete.

Maybe, but Woodville will challenge them for the district championship.

Only a 9 point difference. Very easy to clean up and get back on track. When district starts everything will be back to business.
