I'll go Lufkin, PAM, BH, WB top 4

Interviews have been taking place this week

I think Silsbee is gonna be really good next year....regional title good

Dulles is FBISD so they have to go where Kempner goes....Randle is so close to FBISD they'd probably follow wherever the 2 FBISD schools go

Will these powers rebuild or reload in 2025?

If you are jonesing for some TXHSFB talk, go to the DCTF facebook page of youtube at noon we'll do this month's TepAndStepp podcast for free.....

Moebes did a pretty decent job at Abilene Cooper....3rd round 5 of 7 years....couldn't ever get past Aledo although came close.... Lockhart's a tough, tough place......Moebes is a Katy guy, played for Katy, coached at Katy...there's Katy people in admin at Huntsville..there's the connection

Hire should be Monday from what I'm hearing....a new name emerged Thursday.....haven't confirmed it but would be a guy I hadn't heard about previously

Getting close to wrapping up....final round may have been today....my sources say either a current Houston area 6A HC or the internal candidate.... I know a head coach in the Lubbock area interviewed and a coordinator from a powerhouse in NE Texas who had ties to Huntsville also were among the candidates who interviewed

I don think the state setup is changing.....I think there's a good chance regional tournaments come back though

I believe Kimball is 3-1 vs FFA...they also beat Duncanville in non-district

We were discussing this after the Duncanville-Bellaire game...teams before got to have a shootaround before their semifinal game, play a semifinal game, then another shootaround before the championship game if you won...so they had more time to adjust to the cavernous setting... That wasn't the case this year and I wonder if that contributed to the poor FT shooting this year

For the record, I think Barbers Hill made a solid hire, Coach Simper is a winner and should do very well

Accuracy is in the eyes of the reader so you dont have to believe its accurate, 100% your choice. What matters is if I believe its accurate, my track record stands on it's own merit and its a system i've used for nearly 20 years in the game, I went with it after getting confirmation from two different sources within the district.

I did call the BH admin office and left a message but never got a call back, but lets keep in mind calling him is pointless because he's not going to discuss a personnel issue with a member of the media...fairly certain that's illegal. And you are assuming I spoke to Abseck and he told me that information, which is actually not accurate, I spoke to a current BHISD employee that I trust and another BHISD employee that I dont know as well and got that same answer. Coach Abseck's way too classy to tell me why he got let go other than "it was a mutal parting of ways" and that he was sad to go.

Is it smearing if I believe its accurate? I haven't said much about the reason Coach Abseck left up until that post...it might be because I talked to folks I trust w/first hand knowledge of the situation...I posted that "rumor" because in my opinion I believe it is true

It's Stepp, Tepp is a different person If you are referring to the rumor of why Abseck left Barbers Hill, well I dont think its a big secret that that rumor is out there, I'm simply acknwledging the rumor is out there. If you are asking if I personally believe the rumor, I 100% believe it based on the sources I've directly spoken with. And if you are referring to "That School" post I made, well it was posted in a public forum and is fair game just like most anything else....stuff from Smoaky gets posted here and vice versa all the time, considering the overlap it shouldn't be a surprise...

We all have biases, it is human. I try to eliminate them but that can be a challenge. If you have an example of my bias feel free to ask me about it, I'll be happy to discuss with you in an open forum or in private.

I forgot Coach Abseck's daughter is senior...then he's absolutely going to keep her at Barbers Hill....it'd be awful as a parent to yank her out of her school three months before graduation....I am sure everyone in Lufkin 100% understands why he'd allow his daughter to finish her senior year, attend senior prom and graduate w/her friends

I've seen PAM play but not in Port Arthur....will have to see how many free Friday's I can get from the day job
