WOSgrad Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 You will have to go a bit to find the list as it is an article about both the boys and girls positions:http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/sports/hs/article/Hamshire-Fannett-has-16-applicants-for-boys-1293455.php
Bobcat1 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Silsbee's girls coach on the list is pretty surprising.
hoops2000 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 I heard that the Hamshire Fannett program had some good young kids and was a program on the rise. We played them a couple of years ago and was impressed with how hard their kids played. They NEVER quit and just kept coming at you. Of course...seems like every team we play from the golden triangle plays hard.Silsbee might be running out of talent and their coach feels like he can win more at HF. Haven't talked with him but i know that he works very hard and his teams are always prepared.

silverstreak Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 Coach Sanders is a class act - Just unable to get the volleyball girls to play basketball - not his fault I don't think -Just probably wants an even playing field with rest of district. HF would be lucky to get him.
bball11 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 He does do a good job, don't let it fool you silsbee has athletes!!!!!
Riding Solo Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 Hard to keep my mouth shut on this one. It is a losing battle with volleyball. Whoever coaches at Hamshire Fannett nothing will change just like Silsbee. Volleyball does not take should I say "conditioning" that basketball does therefore volleyball is easier for kids to participate in. Therefore the numbers of kids are greater in volleyball. That trend will not change. One word "LAZY".
Riding Solo Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 Here is my argument, If a kid is good in volleyball they are pretty much good in everything. A athlete is an athlete. At a 3A school you need your best athletes to be involved in every sport possible in order to compete or reach that goal of a state championship and that is the ultimate goal. To me that is not the ultimate goal of the parents, some parents not all.

CoachKfan Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 I have to agree with you Riding solo. Alot of kids do not want to "condition". Basketball is a sport where you must condition. Don't get me wrong, there are programs where the volleyball kids are put through some tough conditioning but for the most part, I don't think it is any where near what is required in basketball.....not on the high school level. You stated that vb players are pretty much good at everything and that an athlete is an athlete. My only comment here is that if they are REALLY an athlete, they don't shy away from the conditioning that will make them better. I think we use that term "athlete" a little too loosely these days!
BLUEDOVE3 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 There are lazy athletes. Those who know what it takes and want to do and get better will condition, along with a little pushing from the parents, of course ;D
hoops2000 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 If Hamshire Fannett doesn't get competitive with its coaching stipiends then it will have a hard time convincing any "good" coach to take this job. This is a job that could be taken from "good" to "great" in a short amount of time. They need a coach with some vision and some enthusiasm. Just not sure just how committed the powers to be about making this happen.

Guest baseball25 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 its a old coach that use to coach at Deweyville, Basically the teaching field is what hurt this job....
Dove Hunter Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 [quote name="basketball25" post="1008328" timestamp="1305036963"]its a old coach that use to coach at Deweyville, Basically the teaching field is what hurt this job....[/quote]She is the coach that they tried to hire as an asst. coach three years ago. great hire for HF.
Choice Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 If they got Hammerly, dove would have wanted her to coach the boys with her college playing pedigree, nope they got a more experienced coach that was at deweyville. Glad that she accepted the job after being unable to secure the top four choices due to lack of monetary compensation that would be needed to work with HF community.
