dustoff03 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Why is it so hard to believe that HJ could be successful in 2013? not to long ago, Vidor(and I hate using us as an example) came out of the 2010 season with 2 w's. we were picked to finish last or next to last in 2011. in 2011, not only did we not finish close to last, we went 3 rounds deep into the playoffs. is it not possible for HJ to have the same turnaround?this thread was created in an effort to save another. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ispeakjive Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I think eventually HJ will be competitive. Dubois is a good coach and I think his system will fit very well there. But, I don't think it will be this year. Getting a late start setting up his program and teaching his schemes will be tough, I think. The difference with Vidor was that scheme had been run for a while and y'all finally had a great group of athletes that pushed you over the hump. I think that time may be coming at HJ. They have some pretty good athletes coming in the next two or three years, but it is probably unrealistic to think it will be this year. WOS, Silsbee, et al also will probably have something to say about that too for the foreseeable future as well.Go ahead bedelmon, light me up...

BlueOwl Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 HJ is definitely working as hard or harder than any team in their district. Coach Dubois has installed a new mindset in the program. I promise HJ will have one of their best years in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 98 team sure was talented and a few years after that. Maybe times are changing over their at HJ. Any ways good luck coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADSANTA Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I agree with all of you. Crazier things can happen. HJ should have a better team this year and in 4-5 years have a winning season. Not a district championship but mabe a 3rd place team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 after re-algnment they might be in an easier district........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADSANTA Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Yea they could be in a senerio where they automaticaly become a playoff contender. Nothing wrong with that either. 21-3A is hard to compete in due to it being top heave with Silsbee and WOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robanadana Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Get behind Dubois and he'll get HJ there. As a community, they have to decide they want to play football. They have the kids there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADSANTA Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 HJ will have to beat very good teams from HF, BC, and Orangefield to be a playoff team. I dont see it yet. HJ hasnt had much speed in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
