[center][b][size=12pt]2011 Record: 4-6 Overall, 3-4 District (5th Place in District 19-4A)[/center]

[size=12pt]2011 was a year of marked improvement for Marvin Sedberry and the Robert E. Lee Ganders as they improved their record to finish just below the .500 mark in both overall and district play.  In fact, the Ganders were in the playoff hunt with a week left in the 2011 season.  But in 2012, the Ganders will, as part of the big change in Region III, leave the familiar 19-4A for 24-4A.  But Sedberry and his thirteen remaining starters look ready to return to the 4A playoffs.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

is that the same coach suggs that was at central?

[BMTSoulja1]

I don't think so. Suggs wouldn't take a 4a job, let alone an assistant job. 

While I'm thinking about it, GCMPats, do you have any insight on this preview from one of Baytown's finest?

Thanks for the kind words, but no matter where my heart is, my blood runs Ranger Blue. Got nothing good to say about the ganders.

Beat the L out of REL!

That is THE David Suggs. Came to REL from Ball.

I honestly agree.  That defense will be on point.

He was there last year. Not enough horses.

Got to visit with Coach Suggs some last year (we teach the same subject). First class gentleman.

[/quote]he shoulda been the first HC of Memorial instead of Colbert.

They didn't have a pathetic defense last year, which was a step up.
They held GCM pretty well.  When I say they held them well, I mean that it took GCM to third down to get a lot of the first downs.  That's considered holding them well when you are a Lee fan.  :D

Gilbert, Willie and Zellars in the secondary should be a pretty good start.  Sarabia and Trent are actually better than average up front.  Garza and Richardson are scrappy.  I think Garza moved to safety or corner though if we can take the spring game into account.  I prefer Garza at linebacker.  They don't have much in the front seven outside of those four though.

The offense should be better than average with Zellars and Cedeno running the ball.  They both run hard.  The passing game will take a step backward though. 

Dawson, Friendswood and TC will probably all rip Lee a new one.  Other than that, they should be able to at least be competitive.

[AHUDDLESTON]

I think some in PA resented Coach Suggs for having 16 coaching increments.  It wasn't his fault, PAISD agreed with it.  Get what you can.

What are "coaching increments"?

[AHUDDLESTON]

Some people say stipends.  It is what you make for each sport coached.
