Not sure what you mean by "all teams had success"? Basketball is doing about like they always have, which is mediocre. Decent year then bad year like normal. (5 of the previous 8 seasons before Crumedy had losing records). Track is similar to normal. Baseball is down. One thing for certain is that they went farther than any previous team in football for the last 20 years.

They really just want top players who are the best at the particular sport for which they are being recruited.

Yep, Spring sports are fun and it is always nice to win but make no mistake, they pale in comparison to winning in football. Would be interesting to see if Spring sports have the same forum traffic as football on SETX or other platforms?

And the coaches at Rusk loved him. He would have been very successful if he had stayed at Rusk (but he would have dealt with Jett Suratt/KJ Edwards till he graduated).

No, if the football team makes deep runs and the track team stays competitive, he will have plenty of options. Have you ever watched a Gilmer basketball or baseball game?

Which schools?

It has been working in Newton.

Understood, as football goes, so goes the program. If football loses or becomes stagnant and mediocre, Jasper will find another AD. If football continues to go deep in the playoffs the AD will be celebrated (just like everywhere else).

Got it, you definitely lost track of the transcript. "YOU" specifically referenced my comment about the question about "how football was better" and then you convoluted it with an opinion you made from one of my earlier comments. For the record, if Jasper continues to go 4 rounds deep in football there will not be enough losses available in Spring sports to matter and if Jasper can continue to make deep runs the coach will probably receive a raise to entice him to stay. It might be "narrow minded" but is "reality".

Yes, that is how sports and playoffs work. Teams that go farther are considered better than teams that dont. As you have lost contact with the transcript and revealed your narrow scope of concentration, my comment was in direct response to the question about "how the football team was better".

Which SETX school participates in Fall baseball? Kids in SETX play Fall ball on their own but the only "Fall ball" the schools are playing is football.

Let me help you understand: "Making it 4 rounds deep is better than not making it 4 rounds deep".

Because they we went to the Regional Final? That is better than what they have been in about 20 years. Make sense?

Good thing is that football is doing better than it has a while. As long as the football team is winning, the rest can sort itself out whenever. Similar approach to what Newton and Carthage use (football 1st, everything else after).

Yep, things are going great as long as football is good and track holding serve. Anyone know how Newton is doing in the other sports?

Regional Final in football overrides all the other stuff. Track holding serve is a reflection of the football program. Good times in Jasper. Can’t wait to see how they do this coming year.

What about track?

Because football is what matters most.

Good ADs "win in football".

The football team made it to the Regional Final. Things are better in Jasper than they have been in many years.

Cry me a river. No one is "throwing 300 footballs".

The AD's job is to win in football. Everything else is window dressing. If the football team is winning the rest can go up in smoke.

They are not done yet

So, he "knows how to call plays"? Well done.

You assume they “have never called a play”. I have not seen many coordinators operate without input from their position coaches. The position coaches generally have headsets and are in on every aspect of the game. I have also not seen many “key” position coaches who were not capable of “play calling” at anytime. If a position coach got promoted to coordinator it is because they are fully capable and have been heavily involved in all aspects of the game and game planning.
