Graham Harrell's mark still in peril. "With the high school football season winding down, one player still has a shot at Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell's single-season high school record of 67 touchdown passes. Muleshoe quarterback Wes Wood - running Texas Tech's spread offense - has 61 touchdown tosses heading into Saturday's Class 2A Division I state championship game against Kirbyville. With six more he will tie Harrell's mark. However, Wood has just eight touchdown throws in four playoff games, five of those coming in a 42-7 win over Clyde in the regional semifinals. He had just one in the Mules' 35-10 win over Pilot Point on Saturday. Kirbyville, however, has been pretty good at making teams one dimensional. The Wildcats are allowing just 16.7 points per game and have held two of their last three playoff opponents to fewer than 100 passing yards. Altair Rice, however, threw for 337 in last week's 61-42 Kirbyville win, but rushed for just 51 yards."

Fill us in, i haven't seen them play.

The search is on for new PN-G head coach by Darragh Doiron The Port Arthur News GROVES — The new multi-million Port Neches-Groves High School football stadium needs a new head coach, pronto. On Tuesday, school board members set an “aggressive†time line for getting one on staff. The job of athletic director/head coach will be posted Wednesday with an application deadline of Jan. 9. A first-round of interviews with a newly-formed and trained committee will be set for Jan. 19-23 and March 2 is set as the preferred start date. In November, the board appointed longtime Indians coach Matt Burnett to a new position as outdoor athletic complex coordinator and attendance officer, for the 2009-2010 school year. He will work with students at all levels to encourage and motivate them to attend class and coordinate sponsorships and bookings for the Indians’ brand-new, state-of-the-art stadium. After a public hearing within the board meeting, the board approved an agreement for limitation on appraised value property for TOTAL Petrochemicals. Kevin O’Hanlon, an attorney for the district, said that after two years of regular taxing on a multi-million dollar coking project at TOTAL, the project will be taxed at a $30 million level for eight years, though it is valued at much more. The state will pick up the tax slack, with expectations of making up the revenue elsewhere through higher revenues through business development, he said. O’Hanlon said the important thing to remember is that taxes will not go up for district residents.

REDHORSE IS RED HOT RIGHT NOW

GCCISD opens search for Olin’s successor By Dave Rogers Published December 10, 2008 Still dealing with the surprise of Dick Olin’s departure as Robert E. Lee football coach, Goose Creek school officials were getting down to the business of seeking a replacement Tuesday. Olin would like to help them. Lewisville High School’s new coach wants his assistant head coach at Lee, Clint Riley, to succeed him at the helm of the Ganders’ program. “I’d hope that coach Riley is named interim (head coach), and then named head coach,†the second-winningest coach in Baytown history said by phone Tuesday as he traveled back to Baytown from the Metroplex, where he accepted the Lewisville head coaching job Monday night. “He’s been loyal to me,†Olin said of the former offensive line coach who has been a member of his Gander coaching staff all 17 years Olin has been in Baytown. “You couldn’t ask for a better coach or a better friend. I certainly hope they would give him the job.†Tom Ed Gooden, the school district athletic director, was surprised by last week’s news that Olin was a candidate for the Lewisville job and he said the feeling lingered. “There’s the initial surprise,†he said, “but at the same time, I understand, and having been a coach for 25 years, I understand coaches are always looking for new opportunities. “Sometimes change can be a shot in the arm, and in that respect, I understand and wish him well.†Gooden said district administrators would be meeting soon to determine the process they would use to pick a successor to Olin. “We’re circling the wagons,†he said. “As far as applicants and an interim, we need to get together and make definite plans before anything is announced.†Toby York, the district’s personnel chief, posted the head coach/campus coordinator job on several statewide job boards Tuesday. The posting seeks someone with a master’s degree and five years of head coaching experience. Riley, who played college football at Texas-El Paso and acknowledged Tuesday he plans to apply, has never been a head coach. One former Lee assistant with head coaching experience, Scott Joseph, has also expressed interest in the job. Joseph, who coached defense for Lee in 2007 and was an assistant at Katy Seven Lakes in 2008, was previously head coach at Houston Westbury. He applied and was among four finalists last winter for the head coaching job at Goose Creek Memorial that went to Bret Boyd. Both Gooden and York said they expect the Lee job will attract many attractive applicants. “I think that’s going to be a good job,†York said. “I see a lot of positives, the opportunity possibly to go into (Class) 4A the year after next, a $5 million renovation (of athletic facilities, including Sultis Stadium, Lee’s auxiliary field), plus we have true feeder patterns.†Declining enrollment that left Lee competing in Class 5A with 4A numbers this past fall has been a problem for the Ganders for a while, but York says having dedicated feeders should help. “We have two junior highs that feed that school,†he said. “That hasn’t been the case in the past, but rezoning last year established true feeder patterns, which Goose Creek had not had in the past.†Lee High School has had only five head football coaches in the past 69 years and three of them, Dan Stallworth, Olin and Ron Kramer, each coached for 17 years and won more than 100 games. “We want to get the best person for Lee High School and that program,†Gooden said. “We want someone that can take that program forward. “We want to make sure it’s a good fit.â€
