There numbers have already been at 6 man level. School Board does not want to go 6 man evidently. Don't see the future of Burkeville getting any better. No jobs except logging in the Burkeville area. I don't see that Burkeville on your resume would do anything for a coach looking to climb the ladder. Newton is a dying county. They should write on their highway sign, "Nothing to see here, move on". Don't mean any disrespect to the Burkeville people, they are good people and the school is academically good.

Gonna be a tough time filling that position I think.  Without even looking at any current numbers I am curious to just how much the pay scale there is for hc.

They just bought out their super’s three year contract before he worked a day. That place is a back yard tire fire. 

They’ve been boofed since Newton built public housing and sucked all of the talent away. 

There are just too nice of options in Jasper and Newton to stay in Burkeville and suck, no offense. It’s hard to believe that not too long ago they were SC caliber.

The gov. housing in Newton was built years ago. The people left during the hurricane and found jobs and stayed in other towns. Dr. Graham left on his own. Dr. Graham has been at BISD for several years and the school has an high rating. There is not enough kids in school to have a successful football team. Newton is one of the most, if not the most, poorist counties in Texas.

Just because a school does not have a good football team does not make it a bad school or a bad community.. If that were the case where would BC stand?

Maybe so..but from the perspective of a prospective Athletic Director / Head Football Coach, it is certainly a bad school.  The only saving grace could be if the school decided to use their low numbers to their advantage and drop to 6 man to try to be competitive.  If the community doesn't want that to happen..maybe it's a bad community as well.  From the perspective of an AD/HFC I mean.

-Great kids
-High rating
-Hardworking

These are usually code words (when stated alone) for "we are absolutely awful but I need to find a compliment because saying things like "we are beyond terrible" would probably get me in trouble".

You’d better ask somebody.  Dr. Graham had the outgoing school board sign a new three year contract before the new board was sworn in.  The new board (who were elected with the pledge of firing Graham) immediately placed Graham on paid administrative leave. The board opted to pay Graham’s salary last week in their April board meeting. I’m fairly certain that Dr Graham never worked a single day. 

Surely you remember the change.org petition and KJAS stories from ‘17 about how the community was against Graham. Do you remember when the School Board President (Kenneth Weeks, current Newton County Judge) resigned his position? They really, REALLY wanted Graham gone... rankings or not.

Not sure what they would offer for HC/AD but their teacher pay scale is actually one of the highest in the area.

What are you considering "in the area"?  The greater Batson area?  Or are you talking about Hardin County.. (because Hardin county schools pay peanuts)?

I am looking at this area -  Burkeville, Jasper, Newton, Brookeland, West Sabine, Woodville, Kirbyville -  Burkeville is very competitive with teacher pay for schools in this area.

For a school with that few kids, it actually isn't terrible. 

Nope - not bad at all..for teaching... I don't know about the coaching side - They have had some really good teams in the past on both boys and girls side - but I have no idea what they have coming up.   But for a young coach looking/wanting a head job -might not be bad place to get some experience.

      Orangefield 65 Livingston 83/FINAL

      By Cu Chulainn · Posted

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.

      JoeBama Administration Gives NGOs Millions To Facilitate Immigration Invasion!

      By Reagan · Posted

      @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
