Cause no other place compares.

Westerberg has gotten more out of BH than anyone in the state could have to this point. He will continue to get more and they will continue to be a solid team. But as the icon is trying to say, if one or two transcendent athletes do not transfer in or come up through the program, they will always be a 2nd or 3rd round exit regardless of how good Westerberg is.

"Sawyer said in the past year and a half, he has experienced some things from a personal standpoint. Those experiences have led him to rethink not only where he wants to be but also consider where he wants to raise his family." Translation: "Baytown is not where I want to raise my family, regardless of what job opportunities are here for me." This is a guy who previously lived in Hutto. If you've never been there, it's flush with cash and affluent families. Quite the opposite of Baytown and much more similar to Boerne. I understand his decision and would've made the same one.

Nailed it. There is infinitely more money available for a high academic achiever than for a high athletic achiever. Parents will spend an insane number of hours talking athletic scholarships with Little Johnny, but never realize that Little Johnny has virtually not shot to ever get one. The vast majority of our local kids "sign" to D3 schools to further their career, despite the schools not giving athletic scholarships. Therefore, parents pay an astronomically high tuition rate so their kids can play at the next level, but suffer because they didn't pursue academic money beforehand.

The problem is, lots of parents think their kid has a chance at a baseball scholarship and they're not even close. So in the name of "college ain't cheap", they encourage their kids to specialize and take away potential great experiences. Parents need to recalibrate and stop seeing their kids athletic ability as a way to get out of paying for college, and start focusing on what their kids want.

The end has been near since Jesus said the end was near. When you are dealing with an eternal God, everything is near. 100 years is near, 500 years is near. Not up to us to sit around and wait on it, we are to live to God's glory every single day.....whether the end is near or not. This is what you get with "get right" theology. "Get right" because the end is near. They don't realize that God is gathering his children unto Himself. We don't "get right" because the end is near and we fear Hell, we "get right" because the Grace of God compels us and the Holy Spirit regenerates our dead hearts.

What usually happens when coaches are hired as assistants and apply for hc jobs shortly thereafter? I am just wondering if Coach Morgan would have an issue with Bass applying for the BC job prior to every coaching a practice at PAM.

Let me play devil's advocate......What do we do with the fact that there were no criminal charges brought up and this is all stemming from a civil lawsuit? Surratt doesn't strike me as a guy would cover up this type of crime on account of a player, one who wasn't even considered to the a star when it happened, and a coach on his staff. Do you all think we are rushing to judgement here?

Nelson would be a good candidate here

Oh you know Dicky, you know.

Remember guys, this guy was once TCAL coach of the year......he knows his stuff!!

Good luck coach. You did a heck of a job at HI and they’ll have issues finding someone to fill your shoes. Glad you can take a joke!

But that's 11 man?

What do you need? History? Community Support? Overall athletic success? Funding? Education? Tell me one area where Kountze out performs Hardin Jefferson please.

100% true.

Somebody help me understand why

HJ > Kountze in every way. Especially when HJ is home.

IF the man never moved from Humble to PA, he never intended to stay at PA. Simple as that.

Kountze and HJ are similar in that basketball is king. HJ has had some moderate success lately and shown they are willing to support the team. Joubert would be familiar with the type of program he was stepping into and be more resourced at HJ than at Kountze. He is definitely a football guy who is able to coach basketball at a high level, which might endear him to the community. Being a hometown guy he could be a uniting leader rather than one who causes a FB vs BB mentality. It's a no brainer.....considering he is interested.

They may have a basketball coach, but Joubert may be the best assistant in the state!! I am sure if he wanted to coach basketball, they would find him a seat on the bench.

Only if you are not familiar with Duane Joubert.

Lawdamercy!!! Bring the man home finally!!!! Get him out of the purgatory that is Kountze football!!!

Dicky V is somewhere trying to campaign for the BISD job because he was once TCAL coach of the year......ya know....that makes him a better coach than Dave Bliss since they competed against one another there.

Finally, some sanity. I have attended the entire championship weekend every year since 2012 and I can tell you, AT&T is the best there is to offer. The year it was at NRG felt stagnant compared to when it is at AT&T. Houston had its chance and the people of Houston did not turn up to the games. It's as simple as that.

Look for a certain athletic director from another of the smaller schools in our area to be in play for this one.
