Heard Kevin Lane will be the new head man at West Sabine.  Congratulations to Kevin.

Kelly will do a great job. This was my first year to get to know him having coached in the same district.  He has a different approach to handling kids, kind of matter of fact and straight to the point, but his baseball knowledge is second to none.  He took a group of kids at Huntington and had them in the playoff hunt the entire district race.  You all want to talk about who was or wasn't selected, but if they didn't apply then they couldn't have been selected.  Some of you have no clue as to what goes on in the selection process of hiring a coach, you have to deal with teaching fields and certifications among other things.  Just let Kelly do his job.  Jasper will continue to be successful in the future.

Totally new defensive scheme.  One that is very simple but will utilize the skills of the athletes that will be on the defensive side of the ball.  The excitement is back in K-ville.  Brand new year, kids returning that have had a rough schedule under there belt from last year, along with a playoff appearance.  Plus as the year went on you could see the development in the younger kids.  Coach Neece and staff will have them ready to play come August 30th at Lamar.  They will then steadily improve and be ready to make a run in district.  EC and Newton will be the cream of the crop in the district.  Hopefully, Kville can win the rest and claim 1 of the 3 playoff spots.

You can't go off of a record. You can be the smartest cookie in the jar as far as X's and O's go, but if you don't have the players to go with it, it's useless.....Look at it this way, anything will be an upgrade over last year on the defensive side.

ok, i guess you all are right and have more experience looking at jobs.....the posting says varsity baseball, not head baseball; in my experience in looking at jobs on the thsca site, if it is a head baseball job it will say head baseball....It is posted on thsca website, hfc/ad can post jobs on that site. It will usually be on thsca before its on a school district website.

It has nothing to do with the football position.  My statement was that the varsity assistant baseball position was open, freshman football just happens to be tied to it.  That position leads me to believe that they are looking for a 1st assistant rather than a head coach because the previous 1st assistant was promoted, which should have happened.  Also, in this great state of Texas at most larger schools, the head baseball coach and 1st assistant coach freshman football because of the time requirements during baseball and the football offseason.

Saw on another site that they had a varsity baseball/freshman football coaching position open.  That leads me to believe that the 1st asssistant was promoted and they are looking for a first assistant for him.  Smart move, especially since the program has been successful as of late and it's late in the summer.

Chad deserved it.  One of the best if not the best coach in Southeast Texas.

Supposedly for not talking to a parent about playing time. What a crock of bullmess!!!!!! Coach Hooten has done a great job over there and to be reassigned because of this is not a good thing.  Shows how much backing or lack of backing the administration gives him.  If the job remains open, which it seems to be, how many quality applicants are going to apply knowing the circumstances behind the opening. 

Ok, I have been reading each post about why Josh is or is not the right guy for OF.  I remember about this time 3 years ago, when OF hired coach Huck, the same things were being posted about him.  Mainly because you posters felt that this coach or that coach didn't get a second interview or was told one thing and something else happened.  Bottom line was Coach Huck was hired and implemented his system, it worked and everyone loved him.  Why don't we give Josh a chance and let him put his system in and go from there.  I know that he is a players coach and when he was there before the kids loved him and they played hard for him.  I think he is for all sports and will treat each sport that is in season with the highest priority, both boys and girls.

Yes. Coach Washington will be the new DC. Not sure where he is from.  Good coach and simple scheme.  That's what these kids need.  There was too much confusion last year.

[/quote] I can't believe I'm going to fall for this blatantly obvious troll but here goes.... First off let me qualify my statements before I start. Absolutely no disrespect meant in any way,shape, form or fashion to any WOS players. WOS for lack of a better analogy showed up to every game like a guy who brought a spoon to a knife fight. They have some very good "athletes" who have not had the opportunity to play on high end travel teams or have the luxury of training all year like other schools. Most of their players don't train all year like the guys from "baseball schools" such as PNG, LCM, BC etc. When you have to start 4 or sometimes 5 freshmen you know you are outmanned from the word "go". Those freshmen that started on the varsity more than likely never see the field for another team as a varsity player for most of the other schools in the district this season. They went through some serious growing pains and matured rapidly to become competitive and give the WOS faithful something to look forward to.  Coach Landry did an outstanding job getting the most he could with the players he had. Those guys made great strides from where they began the year. Most folks on this board had them picked last in the district. Had anyone made the statement that WOS would be in the hunt for a playoff spot with 2 games left in the district they would have been laughed out of town. To even remotely imply that "coaching" was the problem or the reason they didn't win more games is so delusional it's not even funny. There are a few "professional second guessers" out there spouting non-sense about how "they should be the next coach" or how they "could coach better" but those folks are dumber than the village idiot. If they could coach then they would be coaching somewhere instead of buying a ticket to watch the show. Chevy, if that's you, it may be wise to shut your pie-hole and be thankful you have a coach who does it right. Shae Landry is exactly what that program needs, a guy who teaches and motivates. If your "little johnny" gets his feelings hurt because he can't handle a dose of reality or some discipline you need to head down to the dollar store and pick up a jump rope, some sidewalk chalk, and a hand full of jacks for him and tell him to have fun with that. If he wants to learn the game and learn it right he will be glad he has a coach like Shae Landry because he's certainly one of the good ones. Let all the pot stirring by the haters take place somewhere else because I'm done with this foolishness. Rake 1 [/quote] Ha ha ha.....Well said Rake!!!!

Game scheduled to resume Monday at 4:30 with Huntington up 2-0 and Kirbyville at bat in the bottom of the 4th.

The Kirbyville at HF game on Friday has been changed to a 5:30 start time.

[quote author=liftedpowerstroke link=topic=97287.msg1194656#msg1194656 date=1331265472] Kirbyville falls short oh this one. Both teams were very impressive. HF's pitcher #11 (i believe) had around 140 pitches and still going strong, was relieved by a 1 pitch save. Kirbyville's pitcher #14 Ryan Montgomery had 115 pitches. I wish every have was like this one..... Great game to both teams. [/quote This was a great game by both teams, but more impressive was the pitching....Ryan Montgomery had a no hitter threw 7 and ended up allowing only 1 hit, triple by Blake Jannise. Tommy Wendling allowed 2 hits, 2 bunt singles in the first inning.

Yes, you are correct. The remainder of the tournament has been cancelled.

Yes we are young....Entire starting infield was freshmen, Starting outfield was all juniors, senior pitcher and senior catcher. Other than a botched attempted pickoff, the infield missed 1 ground ball and 1 fly ball. Not great, but not bad for their first time out. Our youth showed at the plate. These kids are working hard everyday.  HJ is much improved.  The kid that started for HJ was Taylor Reynolds, moved from Kirbyville. Only had a fastball and change up; threw strikes and did a good job.

You can't base anything on scrimmages but from what I was told, they did not look very good against Orangefield last Saturday. But again, your top 3 pitchers may only throw an inning or 2 at the most, so it's hard to base it on that.....Only time will tell with this group, they are inexperienced in some positions, but those kids will pull it together and get it right before the district.

This team is young but polished. As far as district goes, it all depends on the schedule. Whatever happens, its gonna be fun. [/quote] Bold prediction....They haven't won a first round playoff series in a long time...

20-4A stayed the same...

[quote name="FB-Fanatic" post="1131021" timestamp="1322325508"] Thanks for the compliments from everyone. Credit goes to the AD, Coach Ray Biles. Coach Biles is very well known in central Texas for running a class program. He is a Christian man and a great teacher of young men. I am proud to have a second son going through his program. Good luck to CS through the rest of the playoffs. We will be rooting for your team. [/quote] Coach Biles was the O-Line coach and our assistant baseball coach my senior year in high school at Katy.  He left for Lorena a short time afterward.  He learned under one of the best, Mike Johnston, in how to build and run a program.

I had the priviledge of coaching those 3 all 4 of their years at Ozen, but more so working closely with Caleb and Freddie.  If Caleb had not gotten hurt, you may see him playing on Sunday's, he was that special.  "Fast Freddie" was amazing when he got his hands on the football and on the defensive side he could be a lock down corner.  "Big Ed" was a force on the O-Line...... I'm so very proud of each of these young men, as is Coach Louis, who often told them that there was a need for African American role models in the coaching profession.  That's what each of these young men are....Role Models...Good luck to each of them, Coach Nelson and the whole Ozen coaching staff this week.

With the style of offenses these 2 teams run, both out of the run oriented slot t, you better get there early because the game may be over with by 8:30  :) Look for a very quick game time wise....

As long as he and his parent(s) move into the school district where they will be attending and a PAP form is on file, then yes this person will be eligible.....You have to sit out for 15 school days from time of enrollment, but since games don't start til the end of Feb. he should be good....

Then you should be set come the end of February........
