[quote name="utfan06" post="1408004" timestamp="1369402600"] You could have Rex Ryan be the new coach ..but no talent or lack of athletes and it doesn't matter who coaches lol [/quote]Really... Rex Ryan? lol. Could have at least used Bill Belichick. lol. But you are right.  :)

[quote name=""Benchwarmer"" post="1407811" timestamp="1369350967"] I'm sure scat was a good football player. I personally can not say if he was are not. Because I do not know him and it wouldn't be fair for me to say that he wasn't. My point I'm trying to make is that Larry Haynes is a great coach and unless you or scat really know him as a coach wouldn't it be unfair to say otherwise. Maybe there are a few areas he could improve on but over all the man is a very good coach [/quote]Yeah, we said he was good. lol. He ain't G.A. Moore. lol

[quote name=""Benchwarmer"" post="1407734" timestamp="1369335248"] Scat doesn't have a clue he's probably never even stepped on a football field [/quote]Scat actually was a good football player at HD. He was a freshman when I was a senior. I agree with Scat, Haynes is a good Coach, just not great. If you want to entertain the crowd and score 40 points, you got your man. Just don't expect to be a playoff contender.

Programs that have been great the majority of their existence. Not just a decade. Katy, South Lake Carroll, Celina, LaMarque and Lufkin.

1. Katy: Eight undefeated seasons, 6 state championships, 80 percent playoff winning percentage, 33-game winning streak from 1997-1999. Katy's last losing season was all the way back in 1959. 2. South Lake Carroll: Southlake went 79-1 from 2002-2008 and won three consecutive state championship games, 7 total State Championships, and once had a 49-game win streak. 3. Celina: 8 State Championships and has won 70% of games. 4. LaMarque: 5 State Championships and won 71% of games. 5. Lufkin: Since 2000, the football team has gone 122-25, winning a State Championship in 2001. Very impressive considering the level of competition they play.

Good.  ;)

Does anyone remember his stop in Hardin? Average at best, one good year I believe. Lumberton and Hardin football programs have both struggled over the majority of there existence. Both have won only 35-40 percent of their total all time games. So what do people really expect Haynes to do in Lumberton?  ???

Awesome team, we are talking about almost 4 years of never losing a game. WOW! 43 STRAIGHT WINS.

[/quote]Yes, he played pee-wee football with my brother and went to elementary here at HD. I think junior high a year also. Good kid and family. Petey is what we called him in HD.

Good stuff. [Hidden Content]

[Hidden Content] District MVP as a junior.

Hardin will be improved for sure. There are some athletes on the Hornet team. I predict Hardin will beat WH, Tarkington and Liberty. Hardin just has a tough schedule.

Yes, SA has been good recently.

[/quote]Yes yall won a title in 2003. But look at your history, SA has won only 50% of it's games. Heck, in 2006 yall only had 1 win. In 2009 yall lost every game. lol. 2003 was earned and deserved, good job, it made folks quit laughing at your program.  ;) [/quote]I'm not from SA.  All I am stating is that HD's sucessful seasons were laced throughout the late [b]1930's[/b] to the late [b]1970's[/b].  Any success OTHER than last season for HD was the result of pretty much always being in a weak district, usually one and done when they did make the playoffs during the 90's- 2000's.  I agree that SA is not really in the same class as Alto when it comes to being a consistently dominate ball club but IMO they are consistently better than HD. If HD had historically been placed in districts with teams the caliber of Alto, Garrison, Groveton, Corrigan Camden, SA, West Sabine, Joaquin, and Teneha then their win/loss record would not be what it is now and these are the teams that SA has grown up with in their districts throughout history.  West Sabine was in hog heaven the years that they were able to play in the southern district. [/quote]HD has not always been in this district. HD has had the misfortune of losing early in playoffs to some great teams that went far in playoffs. Alto, Groveton and Grapeland to name a few, seems we always lost to a top 3 ranked team in state in first or second rd. HD has had some great teams in the 90's-current. HD has a bigger winning tradition than SA.

[quote name="knows2much" post="1399606" timestamp="1367412814"] HD wins their district.  Alto wins their district.  HD vs SA will be a good game... could be similar to last year's HD vs. Alto.  I think HD advances this time.  None of this matters though when they get to Mart.  Region 3 will be the Mart show again [/quote]SA lost like 19 seniors. They will not challenge HD. HD would crush SA.

[quote name="BulldogFan1" post="1398639" timestamp="1367071923"] The Colmesneil Bulldogs are returning a lot of seniors just like H-D. RB Cody Walsh and QB Matt Bailey can flat out play. Returning 14 seniors and a very talented Sophomore class, and also a new 285 pound monster/talented tackle, the Bulldogs could be a force to be reckoned with. Coach Johnson has this team in the hardest workout system in the state for sure..... It's gonna be a very good season for Colmesneil football. [/quote]Colmesneil lost a bunch of good players. Sanchez, Raines and the other RB are gone. Best chance of beating HD was last season. Very explosive team last season for Colmesneil.

Good posts men. Coach Finney is not leaving HD any time soon. HD can and will continue to pay him his salary. I'm sure our opponents would love him to leave, wishful thinking. Coach Finney, Superintendent Mrs.Huckaby and Coach Huckaby are all very happy and having a blast. HD is gonna be loaded for years to come, lots of young talent coming up.
