Mark my words... the Cards won't do any worse in than they did last year. 

1.  Lowest scoring team in 4AD2

2. Winless in District

3.  We've got nowhere to go but up.  Or stay right here at the bottom.  But we won't be any worse. 

Worse is losing key baseball i mean football players due to injury.

I heard they been working on a hit and run play to try and manufacture some runs (I mean points) .

Nah.... you just "play" football by putting on a jersey (but no pads) and just chill on the sideline, helping the qb warm up or whatever.... but you're on the team, right?

 

Pathetic... suit up and play.  Playing to not get hurt or playing scared is how you get hurt.

They should probably just can the football program and be a baseball powerhouse like Central Heights.

Not likely with all the upgrades to the stadium that were completed last summer. Ticket sales for soccer isn't enough. But I could see them starting a championship caliber lacrosse program.

Just heard from a decent reliable source that 17 members of the BC football club quit because of the firing of the coach.  Also heard that hardly any kids showing up for summer workouts.  Can anyone confirm or deny?   

My friend said summer numbers are higher than they have been the past few years, but a handful of the former varsity players didn't show up, but that's not unusual for them. Somebody's mom was stirring up sheet on Facebook and telling the kids to not show up for workouts to protest.

Protest what? Being an athlete?

I would venture to say if McQuire had won a District Championship or State Title, the Superintendent  would have been wanting to go into the snow cone business with McQuire!   Can anyone reasonably doubt that sometimes principles has it limits?!  

I've got two theories.  First, it's possible that some on the board and the super were beginning to feel the heat over the lack of success after two years under Coach McGuire.  It doesn't help that LCM, PNG, and WOS (Yeah, I really did throw WOS in there.... Haters gonna hate, ya know) all had remarkable turnarounds with new coaches.... we didn't really see a marked improvement in the win/loss column.  My guess is that the community didn't really give Admin a whole lot of room to wiggle.  On the other hand, I also heard that other people were having to step in and perform coaching/AD responsibilities when McGuire would go MIA... I've always wondered why the Baseball Coach wasn't also AD, other than it being impossible to find a HFC without the AD.  I wouldn't be surprised if the AD title gets handed off to Landry with a strong coordinator (I dunno, like and OC from a good school) shouldering the load of actual coaching.  

It's BC... it could be the start of something better for football, or the start of something better for baseball.  I guess time will tell.

If it wasn't so late in the year when they pulled the plug, I think what you say would have some merit.  McQuires failures on the field, if this was the ultimate problem, could have, should have, been dealt with right after football season ended.  But waiting until the last week of the school year has to lend credence to the fact that it may have been the outside activity that finally got him.  But, you are right, though, they would have been justified pulling the plug because of his on-field performance.

I think the on-field made the off-field indefensible.  If BC just had a season like PNG had, they'd hire a para to run the snowcone truck for him.

Always hoping for the best for any coach especially those who have the pressure of being labeled interim. Tough profession…and an honorable one. I agree that snow cone business owner and AD/Head Football is not the best look, but if the guy needed the money , you know. Don’t know his situation, but you cant be leaving campus during work hours. As far as this season goes under the baseball coach (Landry).  Let’s say we go ahead and give him wins against Buna, Hardin -Jefferson, and Liberty….just saying…Is a 3-7 season enough to solidify not going out and getting someone else? Is that enough to be satisfied with?  Does anyone really feel like miraculous district wins are coming against WOS, Silsbee, HF, and Jasper or that they will defeat LCM or Lumberton in the preseason or even Orangefield. I wouldn’t think so.

We should beat Buna. Wins over HJ and Liberty would be considered a surprisingly good outcome. 
 

FWIW, I don’t think we’d be any better with Coach Snocone wearing the headphones.
