For those of y’all commenting on NS success & wondering what’s the secret! It’s simple they have a great collection of TALENT, COACHING & STRUCTURE! Structure which starts from the very top of the food chain…admin understands how important athletics are and stand behind it.
Every successful program gets hit with the recruiting talk…but truth of the matter is NS players are groomed to win from the time they hit middle school! Go watch Cunningham middle school on a Tuesday evening & you’ll see exactly where all the talent is coming from! Cunningham Middle hasn’t loss a football game in almost 30 years!
And those kids are running the same offense, defense, stretches & off season program as the high school. Also both of NS feeder middle schools have 90 min athletic periods EVERYDAY, which allows for adequate practice time & coaching. This also allows for the high school coaches to attend these periods in the spring & go coach the incoming 8th graders!
For the idiots that want to bring up NS getting transfers every school gets move ins/transfers…fact of the matter is NS don’t have to recruit the program recruits itself! If a parent wants to send their child to a better program like NS (which is an open enrollment campus just like MANY others in the Houston area) instead of a shitty program that their child may be zoned to are you going to fault the parent for doing what’s best for their kid athletically & academically? And would you fault NS coaches for accepting that kid into the program?
What don’t get talked about is there’s more kids that transfer OUT of NS instead of in! For example Channelview’s current starting QB started his career at NS, PA Memorial starting QB started his career at NS, CE King’s QB started 7 games at QB for NS just LAST YEAR, CE King’s starting DE who’s also happens to be a Colorado commit started his career at NS…but because these teams don’t win at the same level of NS this type of stuff never gets talk about. And if you’re wondering how do I know all of this it’s because I coached all of them at NS.
Most of y’all on here have never seen or been apart of a successful program like NS so the first thing you do to justify the success is say stupid sh*t like “they recruit” or “open enrollment” when in fact no other program in the state puts the same amount of work in…they don’t see the lifting that’s done 5x a week in-season & off-season or the summer workouts Mon-Friday that start at 6:30 in the morning…I could go on & on! Y’all are on the outside looking in & swear y’all have all the answers smh just appreciate & salute greatness!
