Coach Jason Keeney should be on the short list there. He is a Bridge City boy who played under Coach Young. He also served under Coach Landry at HF for the last 5 years. Great baseball man.

No, No, No!!  Much rather have Lindstrom.

Come on don't start bashing anyone.  What's your problem with Keeney?  I played under Landry my years but know both Keeney and Lindstrom very well and both would be a good fit at HF.  I have absolutely nothing negative to say about either one.  Just hope there is enough bulletproof vests out there for the candidates because the HF parents will speak their minds and don't care if they hurt someone in the process.

I think that Keeney should be given the chance to show what he can do when given the opportunity to run the Horns. He played under Chuck, coached under Landry, and cares a great deal about all the kids he coaches. I believe that HF would be doing themselves a great disservice by hiring someone else. A young coach with a good rapport with the kids and a hard working attitude is what the HF people need to continue as they build their baseball tradition.

I agree that sounds like a good idea, but that is not how HF works.  We will overlook the guys who have been there and hire from outside like usual!!  Typical HF

It is very disappointing that so many school districts take this approach instead of developing guys from within the district. I still think they would be doing themselves a huge disservice by not promoting Keeney to Head Coaching status.

I think Heath Paviliska would be a very good fit at HF. Coach of the year 2 times at hardin and knows the game very well and a very dedicated coach that loves the game. Also was a pitcher for Northwestern La.

...developing guys from within the district...

It would not make much sense to hire someone other than the two that are there.  Keeney has been there 5 years and Lindstrom for 7 years.  Landry (with more experience) passed Lindstrom to take the head job 5 years ago.  They hired from within the district then...why wouldn't they now?  Lindstrom is a hometown guy (grad '97) knows the community well.

Although I do believe that district 's should be preparing assistants to become head coaches, I do not feel this is always the best way to go in hiring head coaches. I do not believe the fact someone has grown up in the same district he or she now works has anything to do with how good of a head coach they will be when given the chance. In fact getting your first head job where you know everyone and grew up with the community can make for many different pressures then an outsider coming in.

As for HF job, I do not know either person but if coaches have been leap frogged once for a job it is very unlikely this time will be different. Whatever the decision on this issue, I know the individuals making this decision will make the decision based on a heck of alot more information than anyone on this forum has, including myself. Good luck to HF.

The only opposition I have to your statement is, everyone in HF knows everyone elses business, so they believe they have the "downlow"  :D

      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?

      Port Neches-Groves vs Texas High

      By Bordertown · Posted

      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!
