Why is Colmesneil playing a JV team, even if it is a 3A JV team? It's a no win situation for Colmesneil. They beat the JV team (which I see they did) and people will say, "they should beat them because it's their Varsity playing a JV team." If they had lost, it would've been, "you guys just lost to a JV team." I'm going to guess it was the only opponent they could find. But, in my opinion it just is never a good idea to have your Varsity team (no matter what classification) play a JV team (also no matter what classification).

I agree, but that coach has done it before. He lost to Lumberton's JV a couple of years ago. Guess he didn't learn his lesson.

Playing time.  The only 2A varsity team in the area that I know that is open this week is Sabine Pass, who canceled on Colmesneil last week before Laura became a threat.

It was kind of like Vidor scrimmaging Hemphill this week.  As with Mathews in that case, I am sure that this wasn't Day's first choice.  However, the prospect of not playing at all was not a real good choice, either.

I agree that it is important to get that game time experience. And it is nice to play someone other than yourselves as you do in practice.

 

Now Sabine Pass is going to keep getting a bad rep in my opinion. I noticed you bolded the word before, so I wonder what their reason was for canceling? Was it still Hurricane Laura? But,  I don't know why anyone would schedule their football team after what they did a couple of seasons ago, when they canceled their season mid-season and then backed out of their district for the following year and left all those teams scrambling to try and find a replacement game.

No, SP canceled what was supposed to be Colmesneil's Week 2 game back on August 22nd which Laura had not even entered the Gulf yet and was still slated to hit Florida.

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

      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.
