Will there be ANY (insert classification here) SETX school at state? Based on score and records I'm seeing Silsbee may be the only hope for a SETX representative.

Say what you want. This thread was stupid. When I see or hear something stupid, I make sure it's known that I think it's stupid. Nobody had to respond...yet here we are.

I'm pretty sure officials get to choose the games they call based on seniority. The seasoned refs (probably better) choose big games because the level of play is better and they may even get a portion of the gate money. Sorry. Way it works.

Are you serious?.. Lol. Calm down, dude. Did you not read the flurry of compliments I made in my previous post...including saying that I DO NOT think Carthage would've beaten WOS this year? Very few times in my life I've seen as much butthurt at WOS fans feel when someone says or implies any little indication that they aren't the absolute best football team to have ever played the game. By the way...it does matter who you're playing sometimes. I do believe WOS was good enough to win either division in 4A, but if you think beating a crappy team 70-0 means you can beat a good team 70-0 then I don't know what to say. Because that's pretty dumb.

We'll never know. Here's what we do know... Carthage won the state title in a higher division. In football that says a lot. I know WOS had a great team. But it's impossible to say what they would've done in a higher division. In the past WOS hasn't done well when in the same division with a lot of those schools. I know it's a different team...but still don't know. Here's what else we know. WOS had a couple of nice preseason wins. I think Bridge City and Kennedale were good wins...but the other schools on the preseason schedule were not that impressive. Then they played a joke of a district (except Liberty was halfway decent). They beat Bellville, Giddings, and Navarro in the playoffs which were very similar to Liberty as far as talent level. I'm not taking anything away from WOS because they had a perfect season. 16-0 and did it in convincing fashion. But to say the state champ in the division above them isn't close...I just don't know about that. I'm not convinced any school WOS played in the playoffs would've gotten past round 2 or 3 in a division higher. Again..I'm not saying that Carthage would've beaten WOS last season. They probably wouldn't have. But Carthage winning the D1 title is a heck of a lot more impressive in my opinion just because of the way it had to be done. D1 was so much deeper than D2 it isn't even funny.

Anyone have video of the play vs EC that led to all of the free throws? I'm not a fan of complaining about bad calls...and I certainly can't stand when a ref is blamed for a loss. But this kind of has me intrigued. I would like to see the call and develop my own opinion. By the way...is anyone really expecting quality officials to show up in Hardin, Tx to call a 3A basketball game? smh...

Hey you know what's good about working in Beaumont schools?.. Yeah I couldn't think of anything either.

I literally just laughed out loud. "cultivate douchebaggery".. lol. What a clown

And that very well may be the case. Only other options are to hire an AD first or put together a hiring committee of sorts to recommend to the sup. Either way there has to be some type of policy in place for situations such as this. And that policy needs to be followed...regardless of trust issues. I doubt anyone thought the AD and Head Coach would be bailing at the same time, but there has to be a "what if" on paper somewhere.

Sup should hire the admin positions. AD, campus principals, etc... AD should hire head coaches and asst coaches (in coordination with the campus principals bc of teaching openings) HFC should hire football asst coaches at his campus (in coordination with campus principal bc of teaching openings) Campus principals should hire classroom teachers for their campus. All should be recommended to sup, who then recommends to the board. In this case, I would think it perfectly acceptable for the sup to hire the next HFC since the AD is leaving. In my opinion. If there were more time I would say the sup needs to hire an AD first...and then the AD hire the HFC. But like you said...they need a HFC in there before spring starts.

I'm pretty certain that the principal doesn't get to hire head football coaches.

I'm not surprised by anything that happens involving Beaumont ISD. If Westbrook hired a chimpanzee and said "We did it to save the district money".... I'd probably not be surprised.

Sounds to me like there's a common denominator in some issues that needs to be addressed.

Lol. I see that literally 100% of your posts are quoting me. I'm flattered. What...did you create this name just to mess with people or something? Some people smh.. You need to get off the computer and pay attention to your teacher.

Well.. Normally when I ask him a question I get an answer. From him.

Didn't know he had a secretary.

You seem confident in that name. You sure?

What I heard too

That's good. I personally think that the less they play that style of ball the better they'll be down the road. My point remains, though. To win a state championship you need to be able to stop people and score in a halfcourt setting. Not score mainly off steals and easy buckets. I have no doubt in their ability to defend people. I didn't watch the game, nor have I seen Silsbee play this year. I'm speculating off of previous seasons. By the way...I figured I'd get a response out of you.

No coach wants to go to Beaumont ISD and stay. I'm sure it's a stepping stone for more money for all of them. "No headaches?" lol. Beaumont is one continuous headache.

The only problem I see with teams like Silsbee is the fact that they win a vast majority of their games (until deep in the playoffs) by running and overwhelming teams with less athleticism. I'm not saying that they don't have good basketball players, or that they aren't a good team. I'm just saying that I think the days of winning state titles by overpowering opponents with speed are dwindling. There will always be a team that you just won't beat by doing that because they are just good basketball players. I would take a good half court defense with players that are very good with the ball on the offensive end over a team that averages 100 points a game by forcing turnovers any day.

Wow. What the heck happened here? Evadale really good? WH really bad? Both?

I heard they were interviewing.

It's $. Always is.
