Yes I have spent over a year building a collection of data on start up costs. New school opens in January. Once we are fully operational there our district will be able to analyze the costs with our budget. The toughest part starting a football program is the start up costs as even when we start Jh only first we still have to buy all the start up equipment for the field to host games etc. I am 100% trying to make this happen. We have 3 coaches total on staff with varsity assistant football coaching experience including myself but yes we will be bringing in more coaches. we are open enrollment and always have been in my ten years here (not sure how long it’s been that way but before my time for sure). The biggest benefit to us adding football will be keeping kids in district. I’ve lost many talented players to neighboring districts because we don’t have football. We have a super strict policy when the district lets kids in based on their test scores, grades and discipline. That stuff won’t change. I want to add football as soon as we can and working hard on it. The community is young enough now that the majority want it as well for their kids. We saw just from the few sports we added in soccer, golf and wrestling the increase in our athletic department numbers which is a great first step to what we want. I hope Coldspring finds a good AD, they have some amazing kids and lots of talent for all sports that they should bounce back very soon especially with what they have in JH currently.

Graduated one all-state player but still return one. Will look different not as many dunks but I do believe still one of the better teams in the region. Top 3A region 3 teams I would expect to be: east chambers (stud guard and coach), onalaska (still press and shoot lots of 3s), Westwood (returns all but one), Central Heights, Trinity (they should take another huge leap and my favorite for d1), Orangefield (great coach and return some good pieces). Warren, Huntington, PCA, Diboll all going to be solid too. I do think Diboll has a chance to be real good. Lorena and Tarkington will be really good too after dropping down from 4A.

They focus on trying to matchup teams in the same division with similar records. They also try to have teams play other areas of the state they normally wouldn't be able to see in the season. The better smaller schools will sometimes play up division teams. Like for Onalaska we play 2 4A teams and the 3A state champ. It is not perfect but with how many teams are in it, I can see why it becomes a struggle at times.

Make no mistake Coach Bourg can coach and is really top notch hire.

No timeline yet. We are in process of building our new hs that should be done December 2026. I have done all the leg work to price the start up costs out. If I could start it immediately I would but the start up costs are the biggest hurdle when starting from scratch. It is my goal and mission as AD here to have it built the right way. It would start 7th first and then build up and add slowly.

Yes

Not the same event obviously but we played at TABC showcase this past summer. It was similar we led most of early game and then they made a run late and won a close game. They are very good. Honestly when you are talking about most of 3A top 10 anyone can beat anyone on anyday as just kind of depends on lots of matchup factors and shooting. Paradise is great at what they do, I wasn’t good enough of a coach to find out this year. Well earned championship for them.

Great season by Orangefield. One of the best coaches in the area, it’s nice to see success for him. Also great career by Scales. Dude came in to high school with tons of hype and most kids would crumble under that pressure. He flourished and improved every year.

Hats off to a very talented and skilled Westwood team. Our press isn’t what failed us tonight. Was it perfect tonight in the 2nd quarter no, but that’s not why we lost. It’s back to back seasons that have ended because I didn’t have us prepared enough to handle the physical play that takes place this late. That’s my coaching error I will own. I let an amazing group of seniors down and failed. it’s funny how quickly everyone forgets what Onalaska was before the last two years. Before last year our program had zero playoff wins and zero district championships. We now have multiple district championships and back to back regional final runs.

Onalaska 87 east Bernard 67 Tough battle.

Same and didn’t expect it to be close

Shocked so far

One of warrens parents told me in stands it’s been 12 years

Starters did their job and got up 37 in first half to get some much needed rest. Bench and JV pull up kids got to play 2nd half making sure we didn't get hurt before playoffs was more important than the 100 point streak this time.
