SeniorHawks

I dont have a dog in the hunt. I was just speaking in general and from experience in another district. I'm assuming that the community wanted someone else because thats what 8888 said in his earlier post.

[quote name="forum" post="1223775" timestamp="1337360597"] [quote author=8888 link=topic=99034.msg1223632#msg1223632 date=1337347650] it is so obvious that this guy will be in & out of Anahuac within 4 years, once again our district acts as a spring board to bigger jobs. They had two choices that would have put down roots and been here a through good times and bad and  stay and build program. Im sure that Coach Murr is a good coach and will do a fine job but the community had made it clear that they wanted stability, Barnhart and the board new they were not acting with the communities interest in mind because I was told that they were so proud of thier decision that they felt the need to keep his name quite and sneak him in the back door (litrerally) under the cloak of darkness to rubber stamp his hiring. [/quote] I didn't know that the community got a say in the hiring of a new AD. [/quote] They kind of do, they elect the officials that are supposed to be listening to the community and do the right thing. Its a shame that board members dont listen to the community. When we say community i assume we are talking about an entire school district but when it comes to these kinds of decisions you only have the 30 or so people that have kids involved turn out to voice their opinion. The boards say "community" but to me thats a cop-out because the 99% of the community that do not have kids involved at that time just dont care enough to voice their opinion. Thats where parents like us get bit and dont have a leg to stand on.

Is that official?

I know the kid. Has just made some bad decisions like any teenager. I hope he packs up and comes back home to good ol HJ...

Didnt see these listed but HJ Freshman Greyson Padgett hit his 1st against The Woodlands Christian Academy last month, HJ Freshman Aaron Edelmon hit his first last week against Hamshire Fannet as did HJ Senior Colby Bledsoe.

True that! But Hj still being mathmatically in the hunt, they will probably empty the barn also!!! Good luck to both!

Arguing a HBP.  Umpire didn't award base when Silsbee player got hit [/quote] Wow.... Surely he got a warning first. [/quote] Must have called him a ............  ;D ;D [Hidden Content] [/quote]This was the same Blue that knoked the hat off of one of the silsbee players head a couple of years ago at a allstar tourn. in jasper and when the coach went to talk to him.  he started pushing the coach . It was all caught on film and he was banned from calling little league games. He has always had a thing against silsbee. terrible blue. he should be banned from it alltoghether. and this was from being there and seeing it. Not hearsay [/quote] I thought he called a great game last night. Strike zone was consistant throughout the night. Only questionable call was when the Silsbee hitter got hit by a pitch, he didnt let him take his base. That was not a game changer in any way because two pitches later the kid hit a double. That was really the only time anyone got on him.

Well, I saw Colby pitch against HJ this year and the kid was awesome. I didnt have a gun on him but I would guess he was somewhere between 80 - 85. Curveball looked nasty. I've met Colby once or twice and he is just an all around great kid. He has worked hard and deserves everything good that comes his way. Congrats Colby.                                                                       Barry Edelmon

All three freshman on HJ Varsity are doing fine. All 3 start and are in the top 5 of all HJ's hitting catagories. Richardson was actually "Player of the week" last week, Padgett hit his first Varsity Homerun, and Edelmon's ERA after 12 innings pitched is a 2.9 with 13 K's. Of coures he has walked some too but he is only a freshman...The main thing is they are no longer "Freshman", they have been accepted by the upper-classmen as "teamates". Its really cool to see how much the HJ baseball program has improved this year. I see good things in their future.

Love being the underdog... Cant go anywhere but up... Better watch them Hawks baby....

Tell that to the Heisman Comittee, or the kids that have ever won an MVP. Go back to the soccer pages dude...

Hold on... Your telling me that someone on HJ's team was the #2 tackler in the district? I went to every game, my son started on defense and I cant see where we had anyone close to that... Someone is padding stats or I guess it could be because we never had the ball. All those 3-outs... Where are these stats officially logged? I'm curious to see how accurate that is... I know for a fact the ones on maxprepps are totally wrong. I watched every game and studied every game film with my son and those stats are'nt even close to being right.

Or, you can let the powers that be know you are on to their political crap and hopefully next time they will do the right thing and go ahead and reward the child for his hard work and determination instead of screw him... Especially a team surrounded with so much negativity, one of the few bright spots should have been rewarded for that...

Yeah, I was being sarcastic... Its still a shame. I heard that also about a coach saying he plays dirty but I was at every game and never saw Joe get a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct. I did see him play till the whistle blew and kids get mad and try to fight him but never did I see Joe throw a punch or get ejected... As a matter of fact the only play I saw that looked dirty to me was when HJ played Bridge City and Bridge City had a player ejected for a massive helmet to helmet hit on a defensless HJ reciever. I wonder if that kid made 1st team?

You people are so far off that its rediculous.
