WB and United has the same amount of talent and athleticism.   There is a huge difference in coaching though... but it's also a mind thing.  I dont know what it is, but when WB lines up across from Un

Curious:  In this BU situation -- you think the HC is the "fall guy" and nothing more?   

You think the reason Central, Ozen, and now United didn't have sustainable success is because every coach they've had wasn't good? That's the go to with everyone from The Pear and North End, it's always the coaches fault.

Could it be that he was an assistant at one and HC at the other?!   Face the fact:  Some assistants who are good at at being an assistant do not make good HC's.  Again, just a fact!

Could it be that people expect old Hebert success in 2019 that's not going to happen because there's a influx of really good football in the Houston area at the 5a and 6a level?

Also some of those kids making headlines over in that area are from around here. Families get better jobs and move.

That "influx" you attempt to allude to doesn't appear to be a detriment to West Brook!

Coach Lou was a coach at WB when I played. He was QB coach back then and was respected. At some point, folks need to look at kids as maybe not being as great as what thier parents think they are. Everybody hopping on WB like it's thier fault that Central, later Ozen, and now United aren't doing well? Come on, maybe kids aren't as good as what y'all think? Coach that left WOS was successful with WOS, Clayton and Lou we're good coaches at WB, now since it was Central, Ozen, or United, all of a sudden they can't coach? There's more to it.

So true

Coach AL may have been a good coach back then and possibly still could be but when you haven't Coached in 9 years and refuse to go to Coaching Clinics and you dont have a spring training then as a football fan of SETX I've come to realize your behind when it comes to what has changed and your not doing all you can to get your kids ready in my eyes for the upcoming season...

Central won in 1990. Westbrook beat them in 1991 24-21. Central beat them in 1999. Central won 2 games in the 90’s

Maybe they’re more interested in basketball on that side of town. I don’t know for sure but I don’t think WB could compete with the Ozens and Centrals or United so it’s probably not an athleticism problem.

I see what you're saying.  Ozen, Central, and United has dominated  WB in basketball, but no one dismisses football.  People on this side of town actually care about winning and beating them.  Apparently,  more emphasis  is placed in football on the West End.

What’s the average salary of a BU household compared to WB household? I thinks that’s as big an issue as anything else. 

What’s the average salary of a Newton household versus a  Beaumont household?
 

I know it would be convenient to try and blame “privilege” again, but you’re wasting your time. 
 

It’s coaching and parenting primarily in my opinion. Definitely not a talent issue.

wouldn’t say i’m tryna blame “privilege”. In all metro areas of this state, and i’m sure other states as well, usually the less wealthier schools are not as good. I’m not even sure what the difference is i’m this case. I’m assuming BU averages out to be less though.

For whatever it's worth, there are several middle class families that attend BU.  I'd venture to say it's about even at WB.  Believe it or not, many middle class families just refuse to move or live in the west end.  I personally know MANY of those families personally.   So I'm not buying that wealthy thing too much...

Maybe not entirely, but you tryin to tell me Durley or Dan Hooks couldn’t have turned any of those teams around?

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      By OlDawg · Posted

      This is good info. It doesn’t really break out for student athletes though. LP & (I think) DP are open enrollment because of the way the towns intertwine. That’s the way it’s been for many years anyway. I assume it still is that way. The kids have a choice after Jr. High to go to either High School because LPISD has elementary schools in DP. As I recall, DP didn’t want to build out more (Robin Hood issues), and so DPISD & LPISD came to an arrangement because LPISD is one of the highest givers to Robin Hood in the state, and it helped both keep more funds in district. Of course, LPISD is open to all. Not just DP, and LPISD is rated well. So, I assume they have kids from elsewhere also. Not positive though. They used to have a lot because—for decades—DeWalt was the only dedicated public school in the GHA that specifically catered to special needs kids. Families from all over enrolled. But, they didn’t participate in extracurricular activities like sports. So, LP’s total enrollment made them 6A. But, they were really a 5A school all along for sports program sake. This is all as best as I can recall from when I was more involved in school issues. I’m sure a lot has changed since then. My kids have been out for 20 years.

      Our playoff rivalry. They hold a 6-5 edge in the series. I think Newton continues the win streak in a hard fought contest. What say y’all?

      It’s been awhile, but I seem to remember 5 D starters out & 2 O starters out (OL). A big difference is that Simon wasn’t involved yet. He’s totally changed LP’s rushing attack from last year as a bruising, explosive addition to Barnes, Sandolph & Bright. Last year—and early this season—LP was missing that element. Now, Coach Berneathy is not making talented players wait like many other coaches & even his predecessors at LP. If the kid can produce at the varsity level, they’re moved up. And man, has Simon produced! Over 1200 yards & 20 TD’s in less than a full season so far! It’s allowed LP to alternate RB’s where Barnes doesn’t take all the pounding. Barnes and Sandolph are also able to split out as receivers as desired to add threats that weren’t really an option last year. The PNG/LP game was a full-on tilt & good for both squads. I remember Gary Joseph in the end zone giving his son pointers as an extra set of eyes since he’d had experience with LP in past PO matchups. That was a good game. The score wasn’t really indicative of the game. Not sure anyone felt it was over until the final whistle! Good luck to y’all in Cajun Country. Bring back a win for SE Texas. (Yes. La Porte is still SETX. Ha!)
