La Porte Coach Berneathy got his first THSFB coaching job at La Porte in 2007 when he was hired by LP coach Jeff LaReau as the OL coach. He stayed at LP through the 2012 season, and then he went to LaMarque to be the OC and was very successful. Then, he went to Dickinson—also as OC—and Dickinson had some good offensive teams.

He left Dickinson and took the OC job at Angleton. As OC, he helped lead Angleton to the 2017 Semis.

He left Angleton to become the HC & Coordinator at Dobie, turned the program around, and led them to a 33-10 record with a DC during his time.

He had the opportunity to return to his first TXHSFB coaching roots at La Porte, took it in 2022, and has 2 DC’s from two different districts, and 3 PO wins so far advancing to this State Quarterfinal in his 3rd full year.

What’s more impressive is that the 2 DC’s are without playing a true home game in those 2 years as the new stadium is being built. Truly an accomplishment for the young men, their supportive families, the coaching staff, and the administration via their support of the program.

He’s brought LP football back to the condition & tradition it had for decades until a couple of hires set the program back. He’s been rewarded with great appreciation from the players, parents, fans & community. He’s also getting something coaches dream of…

A brand new, top-of-the line stadium, training field & weight rooms.

We’re glad he’s back!

I remember Matt saying it was all screwed up. BG brought it up and mentioned they had LP ranked 15 in state, but 5th in district in the print edition. The print edition looked like they listed district teams in alphabetical order, omitted Angleton, and never proofed.

I get the feeling there’s a big push for viewership/digital offerings/game projections, and some of the investigative detail that used to make them special is slipping through the cracks.

Not a slam. Maybe just trying to do too much too quick.

I have been buying the mag for over 50 years and still have them all, but never saw this happen before. I guess instead of the magazine being the main thing like in the past, the "digital subscription" is now. I think most people just want the magazine and don't want the subscription. Why should I pay for recruiting news when I can get it free. And I have no need for "7 on 7" news as that is not real football. If it was, it would have blocking and tackling. I can even find predictions for free. And the magazine hits the stands if at all very late now. You use to be able to get it in early July. This year I kept looking for it and finally found it about mid August at Walgreens after practices had been going on for awhile. As far as I know that was the only outlet in Angleton that ever had it. I never saw it at Walmart or any of the other usual places.

Never bought it in my 60+ years. Used to attend games weekly with my wife, old classmates, & friends met in HS football forums up until about 5 years ago. We would travel around to see games together. Got my info direct viewership & convos during games & pregame meals. We used to have a great time (I think anyway).

Since my wife has become unable to care for herself, I try to keep up via this forum & broadcast games. So, I’m very appreciative of games being streamed at least. She still enjoys watching with me as well. Hopefully, with LP’s new stadium, we’ll be able to attend games again. I’ll push her wherever & however to get her to ‘date night’ at DQ & the new handicap seating area it’s supposed to have.

Nothing against DCTF. Just always preferred to see for myself. As far as history, I try to keep up as best I can, and remember as I can from memory. What I have left. 😊

I miss those days going to the best games in the area every weekend. We ate a lot of good food and had a lot of good fellowship. And our convos weren't always about football rather life. Covid and life kind of put a stop to a lot of that.

Congrats to La Porte and Angleton on cleaning out the region. Both team drew good stylistic matchups in the regional semis and took advantage of them. Angleton looked like they improved their passing game against College Station but I would probably still lean La Porte by a score. I think I would favor either of these teams over Smithson Valley but I think La Porte would have the best chance against Aledo in the title game.

      Lufkin Opens with Todd Quick Retiring

      Author This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up ·  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up After 30 years at Lufkin High School, including the past 13 as the leader of the program, Todd Quick has announced his retirement as the school’s head coach and athletic director. He officially announced the decision on Wednesday morning after speaking with players and coaches earlier in the week. The retirement will become official on Dec. 31. Quick leaves a mark on the program that includes a state title as a defensive coordinator in 2001. This past season, he led Lufkin back to the playoffs with another district championship that included a 10-game winning streak and a 10-2 record. “This is my 40th year total, and everybody has said you’ll know when it’s time,” Quick said Wednesday morning. “I can’t explain it or tell you one specific reason. When it’s time, you know. You move on and it’s what you feel is best for you and the kids. Number one is the kids. It always has been.” Quick had a coaching career that started in 1987 as an assistant coach under John Outlaw at Arkadelphia where the school won the state championship. He moved on to Sherman for seven years before taking the defensive coordinator job in Lufkin in 1995. “You spend 30 years of your life in a place and it becomes your home,” Quick said. “I’ve here longer than I’ve lived where I’m from. Lufkin is my home. It’s where my kids are raised. You can’t look at it any different. It’s home. Somebody asks where I’m from. I tell them I’m from Lufkin.” The school will start a coaching search in the upcoming weeks. “I won’t be here in the spring,” Quick said. “You’ve got to give them an opportunity to get people in here. I can’t be here all spring and expect them to find someone to have the team ready after that.”

      I never miss a game if I can help it.  I missed one this year because we went to see the Longhorns beat the Gators.  That's the only game I've missed in person in 5 years, maybe more.
