Wow... nothing against Morgan, i am sure he is a fine coach, but i still can not believe they did not take Jack.....Again!!! second time they turned him down.... they might live to regret this again... If I was Alverez, I would run up the score as high as I could to prove a point.... Go Cats!!! put another beatdown on them just like the last 6 years under Alverez....

[/quote]maybe because he has whipped them for the last 7 years...... they know him.... did not give him the job the first time and figure they made a mistake.... has taken Kville 3 rounds deep in playoffs the last 3 years they have been in 3A, 2 state finals in 2A...  Is a class act guy.... has discipline for his kids and invokes character in his coaches.... Just like Jackhammer said..... why would they not want him!!! [/quote] As I have mentioned before, there is no doubt he's a great football coach. But the job is also AD. And it seems that none of the other sports there have had great success while he's been at Kirbyville. It's just my opinion that he's a one sport guy, which is no problem in some places, but in Jasper it's a different situation because we expect a lot out of football AND baseball every year. [/quote]Ok now I see the picture with you… you are a former baseball player for jasper and think coach Alverez in not right for the job because he, in your mind, only thinks about football… Well let me ease your mind…. Alverez cares about all sports… he has tried to set winning programs in other sports as well… • The volleyball team is in playoffs almost every year …. • Hired a state champs coach from Kountze for the girls basketball team and have had success …. • Boys basketball struggles but most of the kids at Kville play football and do not touch basketball till almost district because football goes so far every year • Tennis has won district like 12 years strait or something like that and has been to state and won it I believe many times. • Softball has been to playoffs almost every year and has a state championship • Baseball he has hired a state champ Coach from west sabine, they have had success, been to playoffs a couple of times • Track has had many kids is regional and some state appearances… Most of the sports struggling have to do with little league programs that are not worth a filp…. When you have to teach a kid how to throw and catch in high school… it’s a little to late…… In my mind he is trying….  But Kville only has like 420 kids in the school… most of the athletes play multiple sports… Its not like Jasper which lots of kids only play one sport…. IMO Jack is the right man for the job…. And don’t worry… I do not think Alverez would mess with Jasper baseball or Mixon…. I think he would be more relieved that he does not have to worry about baseball….

I might could see that BUT.... the same happened last year... he did not get a super and lead his team to a district championship... its should be a double sided coin.... you can't have it both ways... so your justification holds no merritt......

[quote name="oldrock" post="924124" timestamp="1291302398"] It keeps being stated how important one player is to his own team.  That would make that player the MVP of that team.  We are talking about eight teams here, not just one.  Does anybody have the stats from just the seven district games, those are the ones that count.  You cannot judge the stats from the first three games since they were not district games.  These picks are made by the eight district coaches, so they are based on just the eight district games. [/quote]you are right... only district games and by all coaches.... the OFF MVP of 19-4a only played in 4 of 7 district games... go figure that!!

[/quote} are going on the one fact that he had a better PCT???  you have to have rec who will catch the ball first.   lets look at the top 3 passers shall we: Andrew Vargas Galena Park 158  337  46.88  2,553  23  20   Dominic Merka Crosby         143  306  46.73  2,101  12  10  and second leading rusher in district Andres Herrera Dayton 125  188  66.49  1,642  16  5   Vargas get screwed to...

[/quote] [color=blue][font=Arial][size=14pt]First of all, I am so sick of hearing about the Vendetta’s against Crosby.  There is not a “vendetta” against Crosby.   If Merka or any other Crosby players didn’t receive the required number of votes, it wasn’t because of any “vendetta”.  Trust me, if Crosby’s players displayed the same lack of character during their other district games, as they did during the BH game that is why they came up short on the votes.  It is a team sport not a one man sport and in order to obtain respect, the players have to deliver it. When Crosby played BH how many times was the ball fumbled?  It was the next to last game of the regular season and the game that determined which team earned 2nd place.   ::) Additionally, how many Unsportsmanlike penalties were called against Crosby during the game (on Crosby’s own field I might add). :-\ The next thing you are going to be claiming on here is that the so-called “Vendetta” had something to do with the lights going out at the stadium that night.   ??? CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE YOUNG MEN WHO MADE 1ST AND 2ND Team All-District!! Additional Options... [/size] [/font] [/color] [/quote]Not realizing what you just said did you….. you are showing a vendetta just by your words…. “how many aggressive penalties”,    “same lack of character” ……..”they turned out the lights” You are putting Crosby on a pedestal and saying look at them….. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW THESE ANSWERS????? Personal fouls were the SAME as Barbers Hill that game…..(Merka has not had one in 3 years) Barbers Hill fumbled the SAME as Crosby…. The lights were an entire grid block.  Most of Newport was out. I don’t think anyone associated with Crosby football could knock out an entire grid… As for refs…. It does not matter whos field you are on… they are not from the area…voted on by coaches… it seems they a favoring one team it just looks that way…. They are really just bad. With all of these FACTS you still try to blast Crosby……. You see things one sided with Crosby causing everything!!!  THAT IS CALLED A VENDETTA!!!!

well I had a feeling that WT would take the job... good for him... as for the subject "Who is gonna be kville DC after WT signs deal with Newton" I believe Vanya has always been the DC at Kville... Barbay was DC, then Nesse for a year then Vanya... WT was just a coach...
