 I think you'd have to put Silsbee high atop the list.  The basketball titles, recent football success, and consistently competitive baseball program convinced me.  

I thought we were finally turning the corner in '16 when we won district in all but one sport (I can't remember which one... jk, it was boys basketball), but that wasn't the case.

Don't kid yourself... a solid AD can make a difference across all sports.

Nah... I’m not sure what we’re trying to do. 

I'll be glad when the slot-t craze of SETX dies out.  I played in it at a school when everyone was still in the spread.  Good offense but not very fun to play in.  I think there is a better way to go about it. People say you can't run it at small schools, false.  Just have to know what you're doing and develop.

The spread is a DISASTER if you don’t have a qb. 
That’s been one of our problems.... no qb development.  Kids with arms in BC want to pitch for the cards exclusively.

Gotta start the development in the JH. Todd Dodge has a development program from the time a QB starts in the 7th grade.

Kids play in open space in every other sport (basketball/baseball) then football comes around and you ask them to get foot to foot with their hands in the dirt & ask for 3 yards and a cloud of dust? It's just not fun playing football like that. Boring to watch, boring to play.

I'd be willing to bet there is a kid on that new turf baseball field right now that could sling it around the yard.

Same with OF/LCM/Lumberton/HJ.

I hope so. We are the only spread team in that list. BC ran mostly out of the spread. I’m not against a wing t team but I do feel like you have throw the ball some to make the defense honest. A lot of times you have to run what fits your talent and not what is popular. When I was in high school we ran the wishbone and it was pretty much just the option. The baseball kids didn’t want to play football  because they felt the offense was boring. I’d disagree with them because I like  smash mouth football.

Didn’t know you guys were spread now. I think some people look at the spread as airing it out. A lot of teams run the spread and are still a smash mouth/run first team. It’s all about the attitude and what you want your team to be. Also depends on personnel.

Yes no huddle. We throw the ball 20 to 30 times a game this past season with a lot of zone read.The  two upcoming QB coming up can throw the ball well. We will be young this upcoming season due to graduation only bringing back our 3 year starter wide receiver. Who is your Alma mater?

      Has Elmo gotten his aggy premature extension yet?  Pay him already because you guys were exactly right - he really does “get you.” 😂🤣

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

      By OlDawg · Posted

      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!)

      SEC fan bases before Texas got there: “The horns aren’t ready for this. Every week is a battle.” SEC fan bases after Texas arrived: “Texas has the easiest SEC schedule ever!” SEC fan bases after every one of their teams has lost to one or more SEC teams from the bottom half of the standings, many of whom Texas beat comfortably: 🤐
