Hats off to the Vidor kids for showing so much heart.  The hitting was vicious and a number of Vidor's players limped off the field.... BUT, those kids came back out and played while limping... And played well!! I just knew a few of them would not come back in after those injuries... But those kids just limped back to the huddle and ran harder...  Talking about HEART!!!!!

My Jags had every reason to just let them walk in on the last two point conversion... I mean they had not stopped them up the middle all night...  Those kids were so tired at the end, and were physically beat.  Vidors 5 to 8 yard runs turned into 10 - 15 yard runs and it looked hopeless!  Then on the last play we actually win the line of scrimmage and meet the runner in the backfield... Talk about HEART!!!!

This was one of those games that...yes it hurts to lose, but you don't go away crying!!!  What a classy game by both teams and their coaches.  These boys have a lot of respect for their team, coaches and  opposing team and coaches.  Not very many well-disciplined ones left anymore. 

My favorite part was Coach Matthews and some of his crew kneeling to the ground!  It was very nerve racking wasn't it?  I don't think there was a single fan sitting!

I ditto the hats off to both teams!!!  Good Luck to My Pirates and the Jags as well.

      They should or more however if Coldspring gets back into the Slot-T and the defense play like they have the last 2 games it will be close.

      Both teams have improved, but BC was quite a bit better than HJ last year, and the hawks have probably lost some ground from that point.

      The rumblings of a stagnant offense have been around for a long time.  Started a few years before Coach Mathews retired.  The rumblings were masked cause of how liked Coach Mathews was and is. As far as the community being toxic or kids hearing how bad it is.... That is false.  People are still showing up on Friday nights to watch football.  Kids are still suiting up to play on Friday nights.  People have not lined the halls of a school board meeting demanding coaches be fired.  People are not putting up signs in their front yards saying fire coaches.... etc.  All people are wanting is some kind of change... and when is that such a bad thing?!?! Kids aren't hearing how bad the team is from supporters... they hear that on social media from other kids in different schools.  Kids are smart enough to know that they are behind the times when it comes to the offensive scheme.  Kids watch other programs and what they do on offense and wonder why they can't do that?!?!?  Why can't we practice passing plays?!?!? Etc... and after a while kids do get fed up and say screw it, I'm not playing football anymore... IT IS NOT FUN running the same 3, 4, 5 plays.  You are right when you say Vidor has lost their identity and I do not believe Dubois is the coach to bring that identity back.  Many, many, many years ago the great Coach Dan Hooks was interviewed before a Vidor game... can't remember his exact words but it was something along the lines of Vidor is going to punch you in the mouth repeatedly and you'll know when the game is over that you played Vidor...  Vidor went on to beat WO-S that night in Vidor. Vidor needs that coach that will lite a fire under your or lite your a$$ up for messing up.  Vidor needs that coach that will go to absolute war with you.  Vidor needs change!

      Couldnt have said it any better sir. Dubois needs to find a way to get community and player buy in and let the rest work itself out
