I think if you swap staffs, Nederland may have a slightly better season, who knows? But they dang sure aren’t gonna win state in one year or even come close to it. Why? Because coaching is a small part of a way bigger picture. A picture full of moving parts.

I disagree with this. You wanna pin it all on coaching but PN-G has been successful for a long time, not just under Joseph. Multiple state championships and great seasons to prove this. Always competitive and in every game just about. Again, the two schools do not compare when it comes to the culture. There have been some amazing coaches come through Nederland and they still have 0 state championships. It is not just the coaching that is the culprit. PN-G is on a whole different planet when it comes to support from the community. Teams don't identify themselves by their coaches. They define themselves based on their identity. Ask any state champion how they got there. I guarantee you, coaching is a small part of an identity this is NOT rooted in a coach. Great teams are lead by great young men that bought into a program with the support of their community. WO-S lost that community support based on a hire they didn't like. Now look at them. They are missing their identity because the community turned on the coach, school, and the players' performance on the field followed. Tell me I am wrong. The game is bigger than just a good coach.

This game is more than just coaching. It is a culture. Yes good coaching is important, but it isn't everything. It takes a football culture to be good at high school football. It starts with a foundation and identity, typically built in a weight room. That translates to kids improving physically and buying in to that identity. It also takes a community to support the team and coaches to guide the team and facilitate that growth. PN-G has built an identity that is forged in their weightroom. There is an ENORMOUS level of support for the team from the community. They have an awesome coaching staff that guides them in the right direction. Nederland lacks that identity. If you ask me what makes a true difference in HS football. It is a combination of a lot of things. It takes sacrifice by all. Again, i'm not saying coaching is not important, but I would argue the other obvious things that are very different about PN-G and Nederland. Recently, the culture and identity is just not the same.

Smalley inherited the Slot T from Orangefield. Before OF, he was a spread guy.

BC won’t be in Slot T next year

I could definitely see that happening

Stop using the baseball team as a scapegoat for BCs lack of success. They made good strides rebounding from that dumpster fire that McGuire ran. Smalley will continue building up this program. God forbid anyone try to get better around the 409.

Congrats Deweyville on making school history!

He was forced to go over the bench by the Silsbee players coming in hard late. Luckily the Silsbee players all went down in a heap right at the bench or there were going to be more injuries. Don’t sit there and say the Silsbee didn’t force him over the bench. There was zero reason to make contact with him at that speed with him going out of bounds he was clearly out of bounds.

A lot of the new homes and whole neighborhoods are still being built as we speak with future neighborhoods slated to be built. I bet we see a substantial increase for LCM within the next few snapshots

LCM just doesn't have enough to keep up with the Raiders recent show of success. 42 - 21 Lumberton

I wouldn’t say coaching alone is to blame for the woes of WOS’s season. I’d say people are overestimating the “talent” of this team. It’s a combination of the two. Honestly, I think leaning towards the “having too much talent” aspect of placing blame on the relative unsuccessfulness of WOS is tearing the team and fan base apart more than the hire you don’t like.

I’m going with Jasper. 28-20

Silsbee puts up 70+. Silsbee 71 - Brazosport 7

Woodville easily wins here. I don’t see the Bobcats stopping Woodville’s passing game. I hope I’m wrong. Good luck to all. Woodville 42 - Orangefield 14

I would love to see Vidor have some success this week. but idk... the Slot T teams are struggling early.

Both teams seem to be uptrending. Should be a good game! If the Cards can clean up some of the mistakes made in the Orangefield game, I think they could pull away from Buna in this one. Buna didn't have much of a challenge against Corrigan so we will see how good that run game really is against one the best D-Lines in the area. Give me BC by two + scores.
