Former Local Coach In Trouble


KFDM COOP

Recommended Posts

Man, I can't believe that. Coach Gamble took Deweyville to thier first two Bi-district play-off games back in 80 and 82. He was much younger back then, I think only in second or third year of coaching, and although I was only in the seventh grade, I remember him as a real tough guy and would work you to death in the weight room, and on the field.He went on to coach @ Little Cypress (where I think he got into some trouble) and then had a long spell @ Alto, and took them to several state championships.

Well I hope he gets out of that jam.

Why? Being a "coach" does not make you exempt from laws. Nor should being an athelete, politician or celebrity. Wrong is still wrong.

Wrong is wrong. Getting out of a jam doesn't mean he beat the rap however. Maybe ndn09 wants him to get out of a jam because he is innocent.

"The assistant coach was arrested by Marlin police at gun point, for driving under the influence and possession of a deadly weapon."

That don't sound innocent to me.

Obviously the District Attorney wants you on the permanent jury list. If the cops arrested him, he is guilty.

Not to mention the fact that there is no such crime in Texas as "Possession of a Deadly Weapon" as reported in the news article. I guess if you don't know the answer, you just make it up.

DUI is scientifically measured. You don't "make it up". Drunk AND packin' heat is a BAAAAD combo, don't you think? I think the criminal defense lawyers want you permanently...

Well, if I had mentioned DUI then your response might make some sense. I said there was no such law in Texas as Possession of a Deadly Weapon. I will overlook that fact that there is no DUI in Texas either but assume that the reporter meant DWI. Like I said, if the reporters don't know the answer, they will make it up.

I could care less if the guy goes to jail for life. If he did the crime, he can do the time. Anyone that sees a report in the media and believes that the reports is all facts in the case is likely mistaken.

Obviously news release are not always accurate. Gamble was arrested for DWI, not DUI. Driving under the influence is only for minors, not adults. He apparently has a history of family violence and hopefully will get the help he needs this time. I am not putting blame on him because there is always more to the story than we see.

    • Still, from what little I saw, it should have been a much closer game.  WOS was missing some fundamentals on defense, and a lack of imaginative play calling on offense.  Just my opinion as an objective observer on Texan Live, which was horrible btw, but that's another story. 
    • Either way,one game lead in the series. I rely to much on word of mouth 
    • West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?
    • Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.  
    • The baseball coach has a ton of experience at high school and college level and hasn’t done anything for I think around 7 years now,it’s just something that the higher ups live with.And there has been talent come through that he hasn’t done anything with!
