HUM398

I agree with your assessment. They eat a lot of clock, but some of that was poor d-line play from Humble. It took them 9 minutes to score in the first quarter. And about 6-7 minute possessions after that. Humble made a defensive personnel change that pretty much made what splendora was doing irrelevant. Moved OL J.Castillo to defensive line.... boy do I think this kid plays the wrong position. I never felt like we were going to lose the game. Despite some really bad mistakes on getting plays in and looking disoriented the entire night. I honestly don't know how Dayton lost this game. Splendora beats kpark and caney creek, buts it's hard to see how they beat anyone that can score quickly

NC by 3-4 scores. Humble would have beaten Splendora by 2 TDs to close the game had it not been for some really bad play calling in the closing 2 minutes. It was a game I felt we could have won by 3 TDs. Humble lacks the diversity of the ways we can score and offensive balance that NC has. Yet we really had no problem moving the ball. NC gets into the 40's. I'll give splendora 21pts

I get that about there size, however I still don't know how this translates when we are challenged by better teams. How good or bad is Tompkins? What was clear is that they were too slow up front on both sides. We held them to something like 100 yards all night. I saw a lot liked though . Kids played hard,even when they blew it on those fumbles. Defense looks great up front, and that was an area of concern for me. Our QB situation is infinitely better than last year, despite him have a sort of rough game, But he made reads and decisions that we didn't see last year. Offense is revamped to play to our strengths. And we have solid weapons to choose from. This is a team built for a run. i really want this for our kids, and for coach West. Been a rough offseason. At at the end of the day, there is a ton to work on. Just glad footballs back

42-18 humble 1:45 left

42-11 7:02 4th. Goid thoughts... Phones about to die. Lol

29-11 Humble. Halftime. defense coming to play, 2 TDs on forced fumbles. #3 Terio Brown has 2TDs. Tough to get a read on Tompkins. 11 points came off Humble fumbles on ST changing possession in wildcat territory.

We will see on the Humble's QB, he is most certainly physically capable of doing a really good job for the Wildcats. He is a big dense kid, with a pair of legs and a strong arm. I hope he is able to replicate the sort of plays he had on the JV team, but it was clear that he was ready for varsity reps last year.

Atascocita. As of mid season last year. If he went elsewhere, I am unaware. Though it wouldn't surprise me.

I love when Humble is not on the radar....LOVE IT! Im just hoping we play for 48 minutes and keep it competitive.    With all that said, we should be greatly improved.  hoping for a 5th place finish, would mark considerable improvement.

Humble will be vastly improved over last year, but i don't think they can win the close games yet to get them a playoff spot.  I think we beat Kpark and CE king.  If Dayton is as one dimensional as they were last year, i can see Humble keeping it pretty close.  Last year Humble defense as not bad, it was our inability to sustain drives on offense that got us in a world of trouble.  Football is game of field position and keeping your legs fresh.    Humble will be very young, but Humble will be a lot better then last year.    I haven't read what Dave Campbell has said about this team yet, but i think in a year or so Humble will be back to form and in the playoffs.  With in two years i see us winning 19-4a or at the very least coming in the top 2 (a district i don't see us leaving) [/quote] Humble defense was pretty bad last year IMO.  Everyone on SC's squad scored in that game.  I think our cheerleaders had a couple TD's.  Nothing about that squad says WIN any time soon ...especially if SC hangs longer than expected in 19. If Dayton looks anything like last year, yes, Humble, New Caney, Porter, and KP all have a good chance. [/quote] Didn't that defense hold SC to 14 points in the first half?  lol A lot more goes into evaluating a defense then the number of TD scored against it.    Humble's defense was not bad, it was on the field the majority of the time.  Humble's defense didn't have the benefit of an offense that sustained drives and converted 3rd and 4th downs.  The Humble offense was the single biggest contributor to TD's scored.  I remember i was at a game and watched the Humble offense go 4th and out almost every possession.    When your defense is having to defend on its 30 yard line, every time....yeah, you are in some trouble keeping people out of the endzone.  Humble has some strong talent coming in, and Coach West has assembled a very capable staff.  Humble is not going to get runover like they did last year.. Why do you keep saying theirs a chance you are staying in 19.    No chance of that happening, you are moving up.  Unless you lose 200-300 kids out of no where, which there  is no logical reason for that to occur.    You will have 2200-2300 kids at the start of next season, that is a SOLIDLY 5a(6a) team.....

Hutcheson, along with Matt Herring and James Kadlick, represents the seller, Rockspring Capital, in the land sale.Hutcheson said this site is the “last remaining tract of any size along West Lake Houston Parkway not already in developers’ hands.”The land is north of Summerwood and Generation Park, a 4,000-acre business park expected to house energy-efficient buildings overlooking pedestrian plazas, waterways and landscaped esplanades. [/quote] I believe HUM398 mentioned the new community.  If it lands where I'm thinking, it should be in SC territory ...but not sure.  Currently there's a line somewhere up West Lake Houston that divides AHS and SC. [/quote] [Hidden Content] you will see that above Beltway 8 and the neighborhoods right on the beltway (north) is a large area of empty maroon?  See it? Okay, let me explain this again.... THAT area, is owned by KB homes, Perry homes, Ryland homes, etc.  The largest bit of land is owned by Perry homes.    The KB lot is in that big empty now forested land.  All that, will fill in with master planned communities, subdivisions, and "estates".        this is the area they are talking about.  I have linked the PASA study on here before, read it.    You will find you are perceptions are no where near the grey human reality you claim. It is a highly diverse set of developments ranging from middle class to high income homes.  The reality is, that the pieces you don't see moving are the ones that will change the way the community looks forever.    SC will look like AHS when its all said and done. (SC will lose the north western neighborhoods in 2015 to humble when the new middle school opens, to make room for these developments that will bring Exxon employee's, Gen Park move ins, and just accommodate growth in general) this past year, i know for a fact that the Lake Houston chamber of commerce has actively set out to lure families from Exxon Mobile from Virginia head quarters....before the move to the Spring global headquarters happens.    They have reported a HIGH volume of people will choose to relocate to the Lake Houston area.    This is a move in addition to Gen. park.

[quote name="DemDAWGS!" post="1413745" timestamp="1371478396"] We'll see.  I gotta see how many from the middle school actually attend SC.  I believe there will be some going to Atascocita even though they're zoned form SC.  Also, just not seeing where all the explosive growth will come from unless those new homes get filled up with near-high school aged kids.  Humble really isn't that big of an area ...and we have THREE high schools. Lets close down Humble HS ...send them to SC ...we'll own any district you put in. [/quote] Does math allude you?  Lets look at the math here.    Let's say that of the 2000 homes the average family size is 4.  So we can safely predict that wil be the case with 8000 additional people to the area.  (the average family size in this area is actually closer to 5, but we will low ball).    of those 8000 people we know that roughly 17% will be from the ages 10-19 (per US Census numbers)...thats 1300+....even if you split that up for a 1/3 going to HS (actually probably closer to little less then half) thats 400+ kids added.  But it doesn't stop there....Because that is only 1 developer out of 8 that are building in summer creek.    2-3 years from the completion of these neighborhoods, you are looking at potentially up to 2000+ kid growth.    You say it can't happen that fast?  Well it happened to Humble in the early 2000's when we went from a mid 2K enrollment to nearly 5k kids. And why would we close Humble down to please you?  It should be the other way around.  We have more tradition, we have played football for nearly 100 years, and we have produced better teams.    lol

I honestly think football coaches get compensated pretty fairly in Texas, considering the level of not only time they spend with the kids.  Head coaches for example are generally making between 75-115K.  Acting as not only a head football coach/campus coordinator (at 5a)...at lower levels also teaching classes.  During football season they are putting in 60-80 hours a week.  Not to mention they are generally working 2-3 weeks during the summer, when most of the assistant coaches have a 10 month contract.  No i think their is no case of an under paid coaches.  A lot of time is spent investing in these kids in ways that can transcend the classroom from a civic perspective.
