Hush...

I like football too. I'm sad my son isn't playing this week. But i'd rather they cancel the games so people can begin to put their lives together.  Being safe and getting some peace of mind is much more important than the game of football. 

I hope everyone in the golden triangle comes out of this okay.

As of now, Woodville/Corrigan-Camden is still on.  Coach Robinson will monitor the effects of Harvey tonight and see if that is still the case.  Fortunately, it appears that Woodville folks have not had it as bad as the rest of us.

A final decision has not been made on West Sabine/Timpson.  Coach Wallace told me that they are considering a Saturday kickoff in Timpson.

First, let me say that our thoughts and prayers up in East Texas are with all of the folks down south who are being displaced or affected by this storm.  While football is way down the list of concerns by most, it is at least something that has to be discussed.

I am coaching now at a private school in Bullard (Brook Hill) and we have two Houston area teams on the schedule for September 15 and 22, and are having conversations about whether those schools will even be ready to play at that time.  While the fields and roads are destroyed, you have to consider whether or not schools lost equipment, transportation, etc.

I am glad to see all of these Texans answering the bell and helping each other out.  But high school football for many schools may not happen all year long.

Good to hear from you again, Jereme!

At this point, it is probably best to now do it this way.  The following are the only games that I have not received word of cancellation:

Hemphill at San Augustine

Woodville at Corrigan-Camden

Sabine Pass at Pasadena First Baptist

Acadiana Christian vs. West Hardin

West Sabine at Timpson

Jasper at Ozen

If anyone has heard anything about these games, please let me know.

 

Thats a big wow on that one

With the water outages and just some of  the flooding in SETX do yall think the same thing could happen next week with the game cancellations?? 

There will be some schools that probably won't play for a couple of weeks. And some schools won't play a home game for awhile I would bet. I just saw where Rockport is basically telling kids they should go ahead and enroll in other schools because it's going to be so long before their district is up and running.

I kind of figure that 22-5A will start playing football when district starts at the earliest.  Most of the schools in 22-5A are scheduled to play schools in the Houston area.  With Central's week 2 opponent being Katy Tompkins, in Katy, I doubt that's going to happen.  I doubt BISD starts school on the 5th, more like the 11th in my opinion...

I think you are gonna see most of the schools in the area operate on that time table.

    • That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.     
    • Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up. 
    • Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived? 
    • We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
