SFA85 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Posted August 13, 2010 Hey Grad, do the percentages again since 1980. I think Newton only missed the playoffs once going 3-7 in '94

[/quote] Trust me, I know how great he was. Hull-Daisetta played against Groveton and Rodney Thomas in the playoffs in 1991. Thomas killed us !! Later he went on to star at Texas A@M and then with the Houston Oilers.
Keyser Soze Posted August 13, 2010 Report Posted August 13, 2010 If you are going by percentage and not total wins, well then I'd like to see how Hebert stacks up. They haven't been around for a while ya know ???
shermdog Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 Rock T must had made quite an impression on you 55. Did you go head to head with him?

Those were some of the best Bulldog teams ever and we couldn't seem to get past those guys...
mfd814 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 A few days ago, I watched an old VCR tape from 1992, pre season talking to Dan Hooks and Barbay about WOS and Newton. Other teams there as well. Great footage. Two great programs and coaches.
EAGLE07 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 I played against Hebert in the playoffs back in '81. Longest, most painful butt kicking I've ever taken in my life. They must've had 100 players on the sidelines and just kept rotating them in. We (Channelview) had an all-state stud RB ( Glen Langford-UT ) who they shut down. Down 7-3 at the half, we were already out of gas. Lost 29-3, if I remember correctly.....been awhile. ;D Playing SS, I squared up on Hebert's QB ( I think it was Davis, who went on to UH ) while he danced in the endzone, I pulled grass out of my helmet. ::) ::)

Did you go head to head with him?[/quote]No Sir. My uncle was a stud linebacker in 1991 for H-D. #44 they called him the blonde bomber. He went head up with Rodney Thomas all night. My uncle picked off a swing pass intended for Rodney Thomas, as my uncle headed for the endzone Thomas slipped and fell down and still caught my Uncle from behind. What an athlete he was !! I myself played for H-D in the mid 90's, I also played groveton in the playoffs. The Horace boys were studs on those Groveton teams I played.
OldSkool97 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 [quote name="liltex" post="825177" timestamp="1281720737"]Alot of great players came out of Groveton.[/quote]They currently have a former player Lane Johnson playing TE for Oklahoma. He was their QB in high school.
Tim Riggins Posted August 14, 2010 Report Posted August 14, 2010 Groveton won state 2A championships in 1984, 1989 and 1990. Rodney Thomas played on the '89 and '90 teams. Groveton is the Trinity county seat on hwy. 287 between Crockett and Corrigan.

Tiger05 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 30. Kirbyville 387 425 23 0.477 WOW!!! You would think that kirbyville would have more wins than losses
Bucof2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 Wasn't kirbyville a door mat until a few yrs ago?
mustang Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 Yes they were before Coach Alvarez got there. He has really turned that program around. He's quietly becoming one of the premier coaches in this area.
trophyman Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 Man i wonder what Kountze thinks about being ranked higher than Lumberton or Vidor and they had about a ten year no win streaki still bet Kountze has the worse loss in the 78 -79 season i believe to Orangefield (99-0) ouch!
Bucof2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 I've heard at one time ktz was making national news for an extremely long losing streak
Kville99 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 and if i am corret they came out of that long losing streak by beating Kirbyville. Thats the way I remember head Coach Larry Grissom telling the story atleast.
trophyman Posted August 17, 2010 Report Posted August 17, 2010 lets just look at the last ten years i bet Evadale moves way up the list
trophyman Posted August 17, 2010 Report Posted August 17, 2010 yea they beat kirbyville 3-0 it was a last min. field goal by wally whisenhant sorry wally for mispelling your last name.
