Yep, many of them move in already “developed” from other programs. Regardless, he is going down as the greatest coach that ever stepped on a football field in Texas. Do you believe that Suratt is the metric for judging good coaches?

Where else has he been the head coach? Or is Carthage is only place so far?

I think that's a fair assessment.

Understood. Using that logic, no coach in the history of the state has reached "good" status. 

I made that statement because that is who you mentioned.  He's not the only one.  But, the status that he has earned, there are few tenants in that club.  

History of State Championship coaches.  Top 6:

9 **Scott Surratt
9   Gordon Wood
8 **Tim Buchanan
8   G.A. Moore, Jr.
7   Todd Dodge
5 **Gary Joseph

Yep, Suratt is the best. And he will have 3 more in the next 3 years.

They definitely should be considered the favorites… Most years in 4A D2 they are picked to win it all… just like 2 years ago when they lost to China Spring . Nothing is guaranteed

In an effort to get some discussion going again, here is what I got for 2023 3AD1 predictions:

District 9

1. Coldspring 2. Westwood 3. Diboll 4. Woodville 5. Shepherd 6. Crockett 7. Huntington

District 10

1. Anahuac 2. East Chambers 3. Orangefield 4. Buna 5. Kirbyville 6. Hardin 7. Tarkington 

I can guarantee you your District 9 prediction will be wrong.

District 10 has 7 teams with a total of 154 starting positions. I wonder how many of the 154 positions were occupied by freshman? Maybe someone can pull the numbers.

Tarkington had 0 Freshman starters last year - Only a handful of freshman ever dressed out throughout the season and none of them had any meaningful minutes.....

But they only a total of 4 SRs. Many Sophomores and JRs got extensive playing time. Should help them out this year. Tarkington is a great example of FR not starting on Varsity. It happens, but it is not common. I bet if we could get the total numbers for every team, the number of FR varsity starters the % would be less than 5%.

Agreed, except the group they have in the pipeline now is likely the greatest collection they have ever had. The team that lost to CS was not in the same solar system as this group. The only way they lose in the next 3 years is if they play up when they set their next "pre-district" schedule after the next alignment. They will not lose to a 4A team.

If we're thinking the same thing then you're definitely right because I definitely don't have my own team winning district but then again they beat Diboll in a nail biter 20-19 last season the most significant win we had but just to turn around and lose to Shepherd like we did I would have it like this: 

1. Woodville

2. and 3.  Coldspring/Diboll

4. Shepherd/Westwood

According to insiders and parents of team members, we will be better than last year even after losing 2 D1 signees.  They say we will have arguably the best rb and wr in dist. Our Qb will be used as a FB or receiver .  We will be led by a new QB. . My big question is Defense. My opinion is yes it will be a down year .

The offense should be a lot better. Eagles return 7 or 8 on offense I believe. Defense loses the top guys from all 3 levels of the defense but still returns like 6 starters. Main guy to look out for on defense is Savon Bolden. I think he could possibly be a future D1 OLB/safety.

    • Say that then. Don't just stop at i am pro-life. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A life is being taken in both instances.
    • I get it!!  I was once in your shoes. I was that person in the stands, loudly complaining about “bad officiating.” Now, with the rise of social media, it’s easier than ever to voice these criticisms online.  I thought I could see every call better than the officials on the floor. Then someone said to me, “If you can do better, get in the game.”   That challenge changed my life. Over 20 years ago, I became a basketball official, and what I’ve learned since then is eye-opening.   Officiating is not just about making calls. It’s about managing the game, the players, the coaches, and yes, the fans. We face a new generation of student-athletes who have been raised in a culture where everyone gets a trophy and losing is almost taboo. We deal with fans who question our integrity and sometimes become outright hostile.   I acknowledge that officials aren’t perfect; we have off days just like anyone else. However, the increasing hostility from fans is driving many to leave officiating. According to the National Federation of High School Associations, approximately 50,000 high school officials have left the profession since the 2018-19 season, with fan behavior being a significant factor.    Here’s the reality: without officials, there is no game.   So, instead of tearing down the people who make your games possible, here’s a suggestion:   • Thank the officials for being part of the game. • Thank them for the countless hours they spend studying rules, mastering mechanics, and working to improve. • Thank them for their patience with privilege-minded athletes and overly aggressive fans.   Next time you see an official, instead of criticizing, take a moment to say, “Thank you.” They’re out there to make the game happen, and trust me, it’s not as easy as it looks from the stands.   If you think you can do better, take the challenge like I did. Get in the game. You might just discover how much it takes to blow that whistle.
