This, especially with Green. He would call the same plays whether it were Longview or Diboll. 

 

But really he doesn’t have any other plays to call.  That would cut into his resting time to develop anything new. 

Polk drafted early 2nd.   37th overall pick.  

Is there anyone on Kings staff we would want to take over for Quick when he retires?

. Hopefully, Mr Hockenberry can help guide things in a new direction for the district and the football program. 

Lord, surely it cannot get worse than his predecessor.  😊

I wonder how much that consulting firm cost the district?  I’ve been told they are recommending closing one of the elementary schools.

I believe they won 2 out of 4

Lost the first game 5-4

SMH. I don't know a single thing, but some folks have gotten a scent of something stirring on the sports side of the river.

Hmm, interesting

The air got heavier today. Mr B you knew this didn't you?  Interesting to see how this ultimately turns out. Who stays and who goes??? I'm nervous.

Sorry, haven’t heard anything today.  Not sure if it’s the CFO resigning or the possibility of missing grant money that makes purple reign look small.  

Sounds like the UIL is just incompetent if they believed north was better then south for LP. 

McManus 😊😊😊😊? He just collects a pay check now.  

Lots of changes coming to LP administration, lots of resignations coming.   I expect changes in athletic program too but not for another year.  

All true, seems like someone from LP really irritated someone at the UIL. 

That is funny how in Quicks first interview a bus ride was no big deal and appeals take time and weren’t worth it.  Wonder what happened now that he says the opposite.

I’m still shocked we’re in a district with Ft Worth teams. You gotta hope Hp fans make a big deal about this one otherwise we may be screwed in travel. Traveling through the Dfw on a Friday night is already crazy. 

True, only thing that might save us would be an upset HP

Not just the fans, a 8 hour+ bus ride round trip for the teams just can’t be good either.

It's so funny that in all other sports, the UIL will pair Lufkin with schools who mostly play football in 5A DII.  The enrollments sure doesn't matter to the UIL when it comes to all other sports.  

I agree.  They could easily do this with football and play a 5a district.  If they want more parity, they could easily split the divisions for the playoffs and just allow all teams to participate that first week.  

The UIL cares nothing about high school athletes or their fans.  There is no way they can justify a 3-4 hour one-way  bus ride for an athletic event.  If they did care, it would not be hard to sit down and develop a solution. 

I would think losing Penix to the draft was the major factor.  His accuracy has probably made Polk a lot of dollars.  

I see Polk just declared for the NFL draft today

Kedren Young in the American Bowl tomorrow.  I believe at noon

Wallace seems to have found his spot in 6a in Houston.  2nd team all district running back as a sophomore.  All district academic team.  Can’t see them messing with success to come back to LP.  

Bussey will probably play defensive back.   A&M new defensive back coach was there watching him last night.   Sounds like he may be wavering some on the ags.  LSU defensive back coach was also there watching him last night.  

Georgia is now what 40-1 over the last few years.  No way they cannot be considered as one of the top 4 teams in college football.
