[/quote] I don't have a dog in this fight, but I would like to offer my thoughts. I grew up in and went to HS school in Shelby County in the 50's. We had all heard of Hull-Daisetta football. Sorry to say we had never heard of Huffman or Liberty. Jay Arnold put Liberty on the map for me when he played for UT in the 70's. Never hear of Huffman until the early 90'.  I worked internationally for years and ran across HD grads all over the world. [/quote] I think I acknowledged that HD was good back when most of the population was unborn or small children just like Harvard and Yale were National Title contenders. Huffman in the mid 80s was strong program with Greg Moore who at the time was the 7th leading rusher in state history and went on to play LB at TCU. The current issue is who thinks of football power when they think of HD? Most people not in West Hardin, Deweyville, Warren, etc think of an "automatic win" when they think of HD. [/quote]One thing is for sure, H-D has never been an automatic win. You talk to a real knowleadable highschool football fan or Coach, he will tell you H-D is always a salty hard nosed team that will hit you in the mouth. The last 4 years we been down to just being average. I remember us blowing teams out almost every game all through the 90's and early 2000's. Seems like Alto or Groveton would always end our seasons early. 89 Falcon shows his cards again, lol. Brother we ain't number 7 in wins for nothing, sell that shiznit somewhere else. Over 520 victories. You reaching lil buddy. lol

[quote name="raiderfan2010" post="1239203" timestamp="1343100694"] HD Bobcat i don't think anyone was trying to make the Bobcats seem insignificant .. but the point is every year all we hear from you is about your Bobcats .. Well guess what every person on this page loves football and loves their team .. Every team has their own tradition from Evadale's Midnight Practices to the "L" Train Horn Blowing for a touchdown. Although I am moved at the pride you show and the heart felt story That HD 9 posted we all have that same feeling of pride and joy when our teams take the field..I know that for me Graduating from West Hardin and having my sons wear their jersey's is an amazing feeling. Good luck to all the teams this year .. Play with dignity and good sportsmanship.. You are the Boys of Fall .. Mopat Make Mama Proud !!!! [/quote]He clearly said that H-D was insignificant to him, growing up in Liberty county. Good post overall raiderfan.

[Hidden Content] [/quote] I dont think I said anything at all about tradition at HJ or Liberty. I said "significant". HD has as much tradition as Harvard and Yale in college football. Just like HD, Harvard and Yale's tradition is in the past and not in the present. You do understand that are several programs that have won multiple state championships since HD won their last one? The accomplishments of these other programs dwarf the accomplishments of HD back when the majority of the population were small children or unborn. Good luck staying out of your picked position of last place. Hopefully the tradition of HD will scare Colmesneil, West Hardin and the rest of the powerhouses. [/quote]Thanks for the kind words. We will try to be "significant". lol

I agree with the folks who've already chimed in that tradition plays a big part in a team's success. Being from the small town of Daisetta I know what this is all about. In the tiny community of Hull-Daisetta, Bobcat football is LIFE. We don't have a full time gas station, a stop light, or a place to get a steak, but boy do we love our high school football. The town itself isn't built around a courthouse or a town square, it's built around Bobcat stadium. I remember being in elementary school and knowing every player on the varsity team and wanting to be just like them. At 7 years old, you learn that being a Bobcat is something special, and something that not many people can claim, so you are a chosen one. You learn it's not alright to lose to Hardin or West Hardin (whether that's a good thing for kids to be taught or not), and that you will one day carry the hopes and dreams of an entire community on your shoulders every friday night. Five of my best friends in the world began kindergarden with me and after 13 years of school and friendship and 6 years of blood, sweat and tears on the gridiron, we had the priviledge to walk across the graduating stage together as Bobcats. My great-grandmother, God willing will be 94 years old this Halloween and she was a Hull-Daisetta graduate in 1933, and my great grandfather, years past graduated in 1932 as a Bobcat. Many summers back when my great grand-dad was lying on his deathbed in a houston hospital in a coma with no signs of life, my mom told him that the boys had shaved their heads to show brotherhood and commitment for the team and the upcoming season. She took his hand and rubbed it on my head, as his eyes remained closed, tears began to pour from mine. Then suddenly his eyes opened and he regained contiousness and smiled. He loved nothing more than Bobcat football and I feel like that was what brought him back to us for a short time, before he passed two days later. Stories of pride and tradition run abundant throughout our little po-dunk town, and that's what makes it special to us. My grandparents and parents went to HD and one day my children will wear the red and black as well. We don't have a fancy auditorium with surround sound or a giant stadium with shiny new bleachers to seat thousands, but we have something that's sacred to us, something that is passed on generation to generation. We still live in a place where kids are proud to wear their jerseys down the street on game day, with old folks patting them on the back, shaking hands and wishing them luck. We still live in a place where everyone knows everyone else, and the friday night lights are the only draw in town, and everyone is there. A senior citizen bus travels to each away game followed by convoys of former Bobcats each away game to support our young warriors as they take to the field of battle on friday nights. Home games are usually standing room only, and fans of all ages, races and backgrounds pack the stands in support. Hull-Daisetta vs. West Hardin is our own version of Mid County Madness and nobody misses that game, not for any reason. Each year a different group of young men get to experience this magical feeling in our little sinkhole layden town that is inexplainable to all outsiders. Alot of people will say, we should get a life, or move on, or whatever you want to call it, but they just dont' know what it's all about. Whether our oil fields run dry, the crime rate is up, or the stock market is down, it doesnt' matter as long as the Bobcats are playing on those cool fall friday nights. Written By: H-D Bobcat 9, my brother, teammate and best friend. …there is no limit, to what can be accomplished, when nobody cares who gets the credit…

Hull-Daisetta has officially scheduled Burkeville in place of Hitchcock.

Just proud of our tradition. The pride, honor and tradition of H-D football= special. Wearing the red and black, under the friday night lights, in the cool Daisetta night air. So many memories, lining up next to HDBobcat9.

Broom you owned this clown. Just remember you can't get on this clown's level, he is a hater, haters gonna hate. Probably a high school kid with skid marks. lmao!! ;D

You take the two best players off your team, which are both from H-D, yall will be just like most Huffman teams below average. Thanks Cole and Chase for helping helpless huffman. 89Falcon must have had his position taken from one of the Harrell boys from 1A H-D, that's why he hates H-D. lol!  :'( ;D 89Falcon. He should be thinking H-D for the help.

To answer your question truthfully, a great successful year, would be a playoff win. Yes obtaining the district championship would be good, but it's time we get back to winning playoff games. I believe under Finney playoff victories and a state championship are coming.
