Cardinal Supporter Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Heard from a reliable source that the head football coach at Burkville high school was suspended. I know the reason behind it but I will wait until the school gives the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUCman Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I believe he is talking about Coach Curtis Hamilton. Harper is just the AD. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Harper takes over the football duties and they let Hamilton go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the specifics, I don't know as that discussion was in executive session and what was discussed in that session was not discussed.What happened last year if you can tell. I hope burkeville gets some young blood in there to coach football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purpleeagle Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Burkeville school board meet in a special scession last night. After executive session in which the board meet with coach Hamiltion, I was told that coach Hamilton came out of executive session very upset. The board said there would be no decision made until after 3pm tuesday ( march 8 th). Reading between the lines, coach Hamilton was probably given until 3pm today to resign. The school board is not scheduled to meet today. There may not have to be another meeting if he resigns. If not, then the board will set up another meeting and vote on his removal. I do know the details, but I am not sure what I should or shouldn't put out over this internet. I think everyone in the Burkeville area have now hear what happened.

Whatever it was lead to a resignation. I think we just need to leave it at that and wish Coach Hamilton well in his future endeavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire county is suffering from economic hardship which has led to a loss of over 12% of population since last census. Many jobs lost due to wood industry plant closings and workers moving to seek work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDOSullivan Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 You have to be so careful when you teach school. In another note, I hear that Burkeville is dropping their Vocational Ag/FFA program. Just not cost effective. I can see the day when Burkeville is united with Newton, West Hardin with Kountze, Evadale with Buna, Sabine Pass with Pt Arthur....In the case of the last one, I could see a church or private school opportunity in SP.
