West Hardin will score more points in the first quarter of their first basketball game than they will the entire rest of football season. And that’s still not going to be much.

Awe come on now.. next week might not be too bad. Grapeland only beat Lovelady 53-16. Maybe y’all can keep it close.

Airing up basketballs.

It was good while it lasted.

They know it's basketball season. Lovelady/Grapeland/Mart

First of all.. it's never the same district. You're assuming that every other school in the district is in the same situation as well as far as returning players and/or transfers/move-ins. But.. let's say it's relatively close. Seems like there may have been some political games being played in order to hire some new blood. Sometimes a new staff will bring fresh perspective and get some kids out that would've have otherwise... and sometimes the lesson is learned that the former staff actually wasn't all that bad. Again, I'm speaking hypothetically. 9 out of 10 times (or more) a school isn't in the same situation as the year before except for maybe the names of the schools on the schedule. The schedule, classification, and graduation have more to do with what we're talking about than most other variables.

Again.. far too many variables. What if you graduate 14 starters and move into a higher classification? Is it the new coach's fault? Previous? Or is it the same thing that happens all across the state?.. Players come. Players go. CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE that have absolutely zero to do with the coaching staff.

I'm sorry.. but this thread is a little ridiculous in my opinion. Between upper classmen, transfers, injuries, alignments, and everything else that could possibly change the outcome of any one team's season.. how could anyone possibly determine when any particular coach has made the difference in a program. Enough of a difference to get credit/fault for wins/losses. Especially schools around here where most of the head coaches don't even get to see their first set of freshmen (or 7th graders in smaller districts) make it to graduation. If a kid has only played under one AD/HFC then they have played in said person's program.

Nobody ever gives credit to where a majority of it belongs. To UIL. Those district alignments make winners into losers and losers into winners every other year. #ToughPillToSwallow

Seems to me like there might be an upperclassmen or two getting to play this year that didn't for the previous coach. We'll see how much "community support" they continue having after a loss to Lovelady this week, a butt kicking by Grapeland next week, and then a total embarrassment by Mart the week after. And then after all of the seniors graduate when the coach heads for greener pastures.

28-9 EC

83-0 now

lol!

I'm not saying one is better than the other in that aspect.. kids from tough upbringings are a lot of ways tougher because they've had to be. I'm just saying the in context of winning state championships, of course money makes a difference more times than not. I for one wouldn't be able to deal with parents of affluent, often entitled (spoiled) kids.

I've talked about this for years. Of course there are exceptions.. but for the most part, schools with money > schools without. Two working parents, 3 meals a day, summer camps, private tutor, nice equipment, high paid coaches, etc.. Anyone that thinks that doesn't make a difference is either naive or a fool. Or both.

In boy's athletics, 18 year olds are better than 15 year olds almost every time.

I'd really like to see all of the details. Obviously, that ^ would/should raise some serious red flags but before I form my own opinion on the matter I'd like to know everything. I just had a feeling that this might happen if he went there and started having success no matter the situation.

This is why I hate people.

We have finally made it to district play for the young Bobcats... the beginning of basketball practice.

EC rolls. I think WV was the best chance at beating EC... shutout.

Kountze wouldn't beat them in basketball either. Not lately.

State champs... without question.

Sneak peak of the game.

Briles vs Finney. It’s 27-21 half. I’m listening live at meridix.com. Just search Winnsboro if you’re interested.
