eh, to an extent. I think other coaches understand, and without a doubt respect what they're doing, but once you take that job and do absolutely nothing with it (because it's near impossible) why would anyone take a chance on your for another head coaching job? just because other coaches understand doesn't mean the school board will when they look at your job application and that 1-29 record.

Understood. Did not sway Liberty school board. Therefore, working at Cleveland does not necessarily “torpedo your chances to be hired elsewhere”.

The demographics are polar opposite and the corresponding challenges that go with them. Also Splendora did not add 800 students in 2 years.
 

Splendora had experienced organic growth whereas Cleveland experienced artificial and accelerated growth. Splendora has a supportive tax base whereas Cleveland has an adversarial tax base at war with the offending developer of the artificial growth. 
 

Growth in Splendora is similar to New Caney. The situation in Cleveland is unprecedented in American history. 

Will splendora ever go back to 4a?

I don’t imagine Splendora will. I can see Cleveland dropping if they split and create a new high school in Colony Ridge/ Plum Grove.

I heard that is exactly what they're doing... I've seen the proposal for a new high school in that area but they're still in the development stages for now.  Give it 3-4 years and I'm pretty sure it will be a school there.

Also understood.  i'll give you that IF you are able to accrue several years of college coaching experience, don't stay at Cleveland for too long, and aren't the head coach ruining your career record, you can still be hired by a traditionally bad program.

On the money.

Splendora and Cleveland are apples and oranges. Heck more like apples and carrots.

I wouldn't be surprised if the government moved them to other places.  This is being one reason why Coldspring may move back up to 4A-D2 soon and don't be surprised if Shepherd becomes 4A-D1 or 5A-D2.

Coldspring is nowhere near 4AD2. Lost enrollment last realignment. Shepherd is more likely to go back to 3AD1 once the current freshman class passes through. The freshman class at Shepherd is drastically larger than any other class.

If they did that they could very well be the only 6A in the state that didn't play football. Or at least one of three or four at the most.

Just don't see that happening.

I think I saw 3 6A's that don't during re-alignment, so it's not a foreign concept.  But I know football is king in Texas but sometimes a wise man, or in this case, community, knows it's limitations

No sir... Coldspring had some more move there this past year (trust me I know) unless the move up the reglinement after the 2026 season Coldspring will most likely be moving back to 4A

Coldspring enrollment dropped to 500 last year. No chance they will become 4AD2 unless the cut drops from 544.

4A cutoff is 545 for this last realignment. Coldspring is at 500.

So you think Coldspring will pick up 60 or more in enrollment by next alignment?

Most non coaches look strictly at wins and losses however that is not entirely correct. there are many great coaches that are in situations where winning is extremely difficult and there are places where coaches don’t necessarily have to be great coaches but have great talent. To say any coach that is in a place that is struggling and saying they are bad coaches is not accurate. We are banging Cleveland pretty hard but I will bet their issues are more dna than program.

    • Why play in Rusk?   15 miles farther you guys could have played in Jacksonville at the Tomato Bowl 
    • The freshman RB that was called up early is as others have described. If he chooses a solid path, he could easily be LP’s first 5 star. That’s saying something with the RB’s that have come through La Porte. There have been Olympic gold medalists, NFL players, and others. But, no 5 stars I’m aware of… Let’s hope he listens to solid role models, and realizes the opportunity he’s been given to use the talent he’s been gifted. On top of that, Barnes, Sandolph, and Bright are still there. Not sure how coach keeps them all happy spreading the ball around.
    • I just heard we spent $500 Million in Russia to study cats.  Anyone actually gullible enough to think that money actually went to study cats?!   SMH!  
    • Grand Saline is not Newton. A loss will only extend historical outcomes.
    • Calpreps has LP (61%) by 7. Massey has BH (61%) by 5. One of them will be wrong. At this point, all teams left are solid teams. LP and BH know each other from being district mates the past 2 years. But, this is a different LP team. I haven’t seen an LP team with this much offensive firepower since the late 70’s. Even with teams stacking nine—like Austin Anderson last week and Angleton (who has a very solid D)—LP is still rushing for over 500 & 400 yards respectively. They’re averaging right at 10 ypc. So—as I told some Anderson folks who thought they just had to ‘slow’ LP down to win—this isn’t a typical ‘3 yards & cloud of dust’ LP team. Meanwhile, the D has been very good at containing the opponent’s big weapons. Again, they held a high flying Anderson squad to their 2nd lowest point total of the season. That includes Anderson’s losses to AMC, CS, and Weiss. Typically, I’d say this game will be close. This time, I have to say, unless LP shoots themselves in the foot, I don’t see this one being as close as the last two between these teams. That being said, LP had 3 TD’s called back, 1 blocked FG, and 2 TO’s in the first half last week. One of the TO’s was a touchback from the 1. They still scored 42 with an explosion in the 4th quarter. But, they were also sloppy against Angleton after getting a big lead, and almost lost that game as well. They had to score a late TD to break the tie. So, I’m a little concerned about their mistakes. Soon, a team will make them pay. No matter their talent. Hopefully, the game will be streamed.
