Fairly sure Locks is going to try and get the Shoemaker job...if he doesnt get it I bet he comes

1) its about keeping your word, if someone asks you to do something and you agree...be a man of your word...a great man once said "A man's gotta have a code" 2) We are dealing with HS kids, my code is allow the adult who works with these kids to tell the kids himself the news...the kids deserve to hear it from the adults who made the decision. 3) It's about building relationships, in this case I could have easily broken the news last week, but I'd burn a Coach...and coaches talk..."Can't trust Stepp, he doesnt keep his word" then I won't break anything....take the L here to break ten more stories later..chess not checkers

If you need to hear a little TXHSFB talk check out this month's TepAndStepp now FREE on YouTube!!

I've enjoyed reading this thread...there's so many factors involved....another common example pointed out is Todd Dodge...he won a ton at Southlake and Westlake...not so much at his other stops...its definitely a combination of many factors and I think "fit" as well

Heritage Very clearly had the best 2 players on the court but I thought West Brook big edge was players 3-8... The supporting cast for the Bruins just hasn't been good today

I think if you factor in Fort Worth DFW is just as spread out as GHA Frisco Heritage HS to Duncanville HS is 44 miles North Shore HS to Katy HS is 41 miles for example.... Just one example of course but the distances are similar

Don't think you can say that about Frisco Heritage...these kids have all been there and grew up there

I think Dallas just approaches things differently....I've talked to guys who coach in Dallas and Houston and the talent is comparable but the mentality and commitment is different in DFW

West Brook's guards got crushed in the 1st half..struggled handling the pressure and getting into an offensive flow..

Orangefield has ten turnovers you are not winning this game doing that

My personal opinion is the depth in 12-5A is better....if you take the top 4...they are probably pretty similar in fact 11-5A D1 may get a slight edge...but 12-5A's depth is the difference...Shoemaker, Connally and Hendrickson are going to be picked 5th, 6th, 7th...they would be multiple TD favorites IMO over 5,6,7 in 11-5A D1....Freeman may change that but we simply dont know right now what they'll be year one...but every week in 12-5A except for maybe one week you have to battle....there's at least 3 gimmie games in 11-5A D1 and maybe 4

And of course 4th place Weiss beat LaPorte

We liked 12-5A D1 just because of quality depth...Weiss brigns a ton back...the College Station schools are always really good....Georgetown may be a little down but very consistently a good football team...Shoemaker's been a good 6A team loaded with athletes that's just had really bad Rd 1 luck recently playing DeSoto, Aledo etc...Pflugerville Connally is up from D2 and was an area round team last year..Hendrickson may be 7th next year and they've been a solid 5-5 the past two seasons...

Aside from this year it worked out ok at least in football...he took them to a regional final....they bottomed out this year but as young as they were its not surprising....

Talked to Crum at length at the DFW Clinic about the possibility of going to Travis and then last night on the phone....obviously the family dynamic played a big role in his decision....I know that Jasper returns 16 starters...they played 13 sophs and 5 freshman on varsity last year... I think Bronson is the internal candidate if he wants the job and the vibe I got is he does want the job
