However, fans of Southeast Texas will notice a very familiar name as former East Chambers boss Tony Valastro will begin his second season at the Rock. The first season was not too kind to the Galveston native as the Tors went winless on the season. But one season under the belt, as well as six returning starters, leaves the folks on the island a little more optimistic about 2012.[b][u][size=14pt]Coaching Staff[/u][/b][size=12pt][b]Head Coach: Tony Valastro[/b]Coaching Record: 137-70-1 overall; 0-10 at Ball[b]Assistant Coaches:[/b] Rusty Cauthern; Thomas Peace, Secondary; Kerry Sweeney, Secondary; Jeff Edwards, Defensive line; Brian Paul; John Brightwell, Offensive line; Corey Sanders, Running backs; Brian Abschneider, Wide receivers; Joe Berneathy, Freshmen[b][u][size=14pt]Stadium Information*[/u][/b][size=12pt][b]Home Stadium: Kermit Courville Stadium "The Rock"[/b]Address: 1429 27th Street, Galveston, Texas 77550Capacity: 10000Playing surface: Natural[b][u][size=14pt]2011 Results[/u][/b][table][tr][td][size=12pt][b][color=black]Opponent[/td][td] [/td][td][size=12pt][b][color=black]Score[/td][/tr][tr][td][size=12pt][color=black]Houston Wheatley[/td][td] [/td][td][size=12pt][color=black]13-25[/td][/tr][tr][td][size=12pt][color=black]Atascocita[/td][td] [/td][td][size=12pt][color=black]0-14[/td][/tr][tr][td][size=12pt][color=black]Beaumont Central[/td][td] [/td][td][size=12pt][color=black]21-38[/td][/tr][tr][td][size=12pt][color=black]Lamar Consolidated[/td][td] [/td][td][size=12pt][color=black]7-14[/td][/tr][tr][td][size=12pt][color=black]Friendswood#[/td][td] [/td][td][size=12pt][color=black]21-47[/td][/tr][tr][td][size=12pt][color=black]Texas City#[/td][td] [/td][td][size=12pt][color=black]20-38[/td][/tr][tr][td][size=12pt][color=black]Pearland Dawson#[/td][td] [/td][td][size=12pt][color=black]0-66[/td][/tr][tr][td][size=12pt][color=black]La Marque#[/td][td] [/td][td][size=12pt][color=black]16-38[/td][/tr][tr][td][size=12pt][color=black]Manvel#[/td][td] [/td][td][size=12pt][color=black]0-55[/td][/tr][tr][td][size=12pt][color=black]Santa Fe#[/td][td] [/td][td][size=12pt][color=black]0-14[/td][/tr][/table][size=12pt]# - District games[size=14pt][b][u]2012 Offense[/u][/b][/size][size=12pt][b]Offense: MultipleReturning starters: 3[/b]Three offensive starters will return for the Tor offense in 2012.

Guest ECBucFan Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 GB is going to improve. That program was left in shambles first by former coaching, and then hurricane Ike (due to a number of displaced players). Now, the tide will turn. V will get that team organized and win some games this year, and even more games in the future seasons. Betcha. BTW, niiiiice looking helmets! ;) LOL!
