I agree One Chance. My son played at Southwestern in Georgetown. Had a few D1 preferred walk ons, D2’s and D3’s. Picked southwestern because it was close to his girlfriend in college station @ A&M. Beautiful area and close to everything. Belton just north of Georgetown and Austin. Trinity in San Antonio and San Marcos right there.

I agree. Really liked that process.

No I don't believe all should be. I just liked the process we went through. Once the right AD is in place, the trust is there for him to make his/her own coaching hires for the other sports. Once the right Supt is in place, who the community theoretically hires via voting the school board members into position, he/she is trusted for hires to each campus leadership. JMO on the AD/HFC position that sets the tone for the whole community in all sports and extra curriculars that relate to each sport. When an AD/HFC truly gets community, the whole district performs well and feeds off each other. For example, it was awesome how both LCM & LR athletics supported each schools band through their competitions even being around playoff time. Academics improve, school spirit/ pride improves, school attendance improves, etc. It is a partnership between all parties.

I don't like the committee he talks of without some form of community representation. When Lumberton went through this process a year ago, the committee that was formed was made up of a few admins, local business leaders, and community rep. They were given a list of applicants to interview. They then interviewed, narrowed down the list to the final 4, and turned over recommendations to the supt. Supt interviewed each and then made his recommendation to the school board for approval. Community had some form of representation which is important.

He’s going to the Cowboys! Not the Indians

True dat! Why bother!

I agree. These next 7-8 months are important! A lot of off-season work. These boys know each other, see each other, are working out together, and pushing each other. A lot of good things going on in southeast Texas.

Man, I know more than most what Vidor has coming back next year and the year after. Y’all ain’t fooling me! I’m looking forward to a tough District schedule each week. It will only help us all going into the playoffs. Now as far as last years game, yea, I am still a little disappointed in the outcome. Ok, maybe more than a little. Lol But I hold no grudge on something I have no control over. I think we all opened some eyes last year and are all headed in the right direction going into 2022 & 2023.

Ain’t no one sleeping on Vidor, LCM, or L-Town for the next 2 years! Gonna be interesting & tuff. So you can take the underdog, lack of respect pov somewhere else.

Some coaches who apply or think about applying don’t like their business out there. If they don’t get the job, then their existing school, admins, and team know they trying to leave.

I really don’t know or care about JV records. Don’t mean much on Friday nights. It’s about development. Most teams best underclass men are on varsity. So it’s not comparing apples to apples.

Bears/ Raiders finish either 1 or 2 Pirates/ Falcons finish either 3 or 4

Your list was the 4 teams that made the playoffs & their order of seeding last year. I believe ‘22 will see the same 4 teams also, but the seeding will be different. District will be a battle each week.

Different order though!

Merry Christmas SETX family and cheers to a safe and Happy New Year! The lord is good!

This is a really good game.

Having been through this twice and starting again with my youngest for the next few years, all I can say is Measurables, Measureables, Measurables. All starts there! What camps has he been to? Who is promoting him, Getting him out there? It’s tough

Congrats to all especially them Raiders! A lot of sophomores.

Looks like we’ll be back to playing HISD 1st round with CHill, Lindale, Kilgore and that district moving back to Region 2.

This is crazy! Been hearing about this for the last 4-5 weeks. Just didn’t want to see it really happen. Work performance, kids performing academically, running a winning, disciplined program should be the deciding factors. Not personal agendas of an administration or board!

28-28 @ the half! Lindale gets the ball to start the 3rd.
