Where will the Huffman v Vidor game be?

Tap the brakes.

Sounds like the new coach was making some changes.

They better. This one will be great!

Splendora had their moments against CH. In the end, they were just outmatched by better athletes and scheme. At the end of the day, they are a smashmouth type of team and will be a good challenge for Huffman in the weeks upcoming. My hope is the Falcons continue to improve and settle in at the skill positions that were vacated by many big time seniors last year.

Does this have anything to do with CCs abrupt coaching change this off season? Often times, over zealous school board members who feel like they should be stacking state championships learn that they're not as smart at they thought.

Agree with this assessment. Apart from the right tackle, who is a pretty good sized kid, they looked small on the O line. Having said that, Stafford had some really big kids on both lines, so that may have contributed. The Falcons didn't look as explosive as last years team, but they are also working with very limited practice time as opposed to years past. Lots of variables make it hard to get a real good feel based on only one game. Losing Shivley and San Miguel are big blows for the Falcons. They will need players to step up and fill in those spots to replicate last year's district success.

Will they play the games (assuming the season makes it there) in Arlington this year? Has the UIL said anything about this?

Huh?

So, if we halt teacher pay, who builds that curriculum for the online learning? Are you going to do that? I'm assuming not since you don't have the time to make sure your kids are getting their work done without standing over the top of them. Also, don't assume most teachers aren't ok with going back to work. As we have learned in today's climate, just because a groups voices are louder than the rest doesn't mean they represent the majority. Trumps election in 2016 proved that to be the case.

One set of students is enrolled in the ISD and one isn't.

Oh no doubt. At the smaller schools, that would be nearly a 10% pay cut for people who are already earning below minimum wage for the hours they put in. I don't understand how the district can do that when these guys/ladies have a contract. Aren't those stipends written into their contract?

This is quite the stretch. The kid would obviously have to be enrolled in the ISD to qualify. The better point is the one made about COVID concern in a classroom, but not on a football field. That should be enough to put an end to the argument.

Only the stipends are being considered for non-payment, correct? I would assume, their teacher and administration salaries are safe because they still have to perform those duties?

Whoa big fella. Barrier is a good one, but he ain't no witch doctor.

For someone so looped in, it's hard for me to believe you didn't know he had already retired in the past and was working under the retire/rehire thing teachers do. Man, you keep showing your ignorance on this thing.

From Lumberton.....where Larry Haynes lives? Interesting. I had assumed his sons had coaching jobs elsewhere by now. Hard times to be out of work bud.

Hmmm, after reviewing all 6 pages of this thread, it seems hornetpride85 is signed in on his alternate account "SmashMouth". Did you have fun having two pages worth of arguments with yourself earlier? Idiot.

Almost seems like he/his parents were afraid he would be swallowed up by the talent at Katy high and wouldn't be as visible. This is all assuming he is moving for athletic purposes and I do not claim to know the reason he is leaving WOS.

Any news on who is taking over at HD?

Anyone know the rational? If I was transferring to Katy, Taylor wouldn't be the program I would choose.

Clearly hp85 isn’t as dialed in as he thinks?

I thought the same thing.

Plus, I’ve already stated it earlier. He’s a small town guy and has tons of family in the area. Just sit back and see what he can do. I truly think Hardin hit a home run here, just be patient and stop trying to burn him before he’s even arrived. Regardless of How attached you were to Haynes, Barrier didn’t run him out of town. Just be happy you got a high caliber replacement.

Money isn’t everything bro.
