Anyone know how this one turned out?

Looks like it's gonna be a looooonnnnggggg year for the Hornets. Nasty district!

Kountze scores 37 points.... how has the defense played well?? Not being a SA just asking. Turnovers???

Not much less than the typical life expectancy of an AD in Hemphill......

I remember this being in the news when it happened..... YIKES!!!

That's him. Sorry for the misspelling.

Not that I know of, but I hear that there are more than 40 applicants.

Well, the board did in fact reassign him if that makes you feel better....

Agree.. but I think Timpson will still be contenders for the district. They did lose a lot but they still have some remarkable young athletes. I do think Garrison wins the district but it won't be a cake walk due to Timpson and SA. I don't think next year's Hemphill team will be able to hang with any of these teams.

Depends on what the district layout is. If they move into West Sabines spot in their current district then they will be in an overall tougher district.

Yeah, that's what I thought also.

I don't think so... pretty sure that ship has sailed.. but if they did and it is the coach that I think your talking about he is well beyond retirement age and would be unlikely to go for more than a few years. IMO that move just prolongs the never ending carousel of changing ADs in Hemphill. They reassigned a guy that had staying power and a winning record on the hopes of bringing in a AD that has been retired for more than 10 years. Great guy and a once great coach but we all know how much things have changed over the past 10 years. Kids, parents, admin, and boards are much different. Plus he is the winningest HFC in the history of HISD. He is not going to have that kind of success this go around. It's nowhere near the same kind of kids, athletes, admin, or community. I'd hate to see him come back and tarnish his past success at HISD for a few years of what I believe will be heartache. I don't believe it's a good move for him personally or professionally and I believe it's not the answer for HISD. Eventually, as a board and administration, you are going to have to try and find a young, yet proven, guy to come in and take the reigns and as a board and administration you need to hand him the keys to the car and unless he is violating some sort of policy or rule you let him run the athletics dept as he sees fit and he's gonna need more than the usual 2 to 3 years to establish the new program and culture.

Whoa! Heard they reassigned the AD. They don't keep them long in Hemphill. Nice town, but a hard place to make roots as a coach!

In their current district Hemphill can at least compete for 2nd through 4th every year.... Hemphill hasn't won a playoff game IN ANY SPORT (BOYS OR GIRLS) in like 15 years....... Too many "Chiefs" in town telling everybody "how to do it" and not supporting the program..... this is why there has been sooooooo many AD/HFC's in Hemphill over the past 20 years...... absolutely ZERO "Culture" in Hemphill... Too many Peewee football coaches that are also school board members that could teach Tom Landry a thing or two about coaching in Hemphill. LOL!!
