    They're in the same district as NS. They have had some good teams these last couple of years. Not sure if they will have much for DeSoto.

    Summer Creek has been pretty good the last two season they lost to Katy last year in the regional finals , there head came from Port Authur Memorial and he took them the state semifinals and lost to Steel . Summer is in the Humble ISD it is a lot of talent in that area

    I remember when we lost to Garland in 2003 in the first round and nobody thought we had much of a chance in 2004. I'm getting similar vibes from this group next year. Nobody is expecting them to do much.  I personally think they're in for a big season. The district won't have 4 Top 15 teams in it next year and I think most of you are underestimating that aspect of it. I don't think there was any other district in 5A where we wouldn't of made the playoffs. The only game they really didn't compete in was the Longview game and nobody outside of Forney competed with Longview this year. They had a chance to win every other game this year. I think they're a lot closer to being a really good team next year then people think. It's a long off season but this was always the year before the year for me. They're going to be good next season and I'm going to be able to tell you guys I told you so.

    you probably right sir but with that coaching staff i don't it .

  3. I ttotal agree with you sir , I don’t give a dam about next year Lufkin has  missed the playoffs two years in a row Quick will not hold his staff accountable. when Outlaw was living I was fortune to be on the sideline at the Woodlands game , Green called a play that was a negative play Outlaw scream at him and said if you call that play again I’m going to send you to the Bus and I will call the plays  I never saw Quick get on his coaches  maybe he is exhausted and it’s time for him to step down.

    Does anyone still talk to Ralph. Would he even take the job here if the call came? 

    Yes I talk to Ralph Everyday , I have deep ties too the JY Family , my wife whole family graduated from Yates and my daughter , and also I'm one of the reason Ralph got that job at JY because who the people I Know but that's a long story .anyway if Lufkin come calling Ralph he wouldn't hesitate taking this job because it is home   and he is a Panther for Life just like me  he cares about this program and he hate seeing what's going .

    Anyone knows that going into Longview to play is a mountain to climb, and they are a confident bunch at home. All I know is I like what has transpired so far with this 2023 Panther group. This year is different, they are a better team, and yes it is hard to gauge things against so so competition. The difference this year is they are winning by multiple scores while playing their starters about 2 1/2 quarters a game.  Not going to get into anymore discussion of that, that's all past now. That won't be a part of any discussion against AMC, Longview, Forney or Lancaster, even Tyler.

    I know where some people's faith does not lie, and maybe some are just waiting for the I told you so moment.  Not leaving myself out of that discussion for I've been on that train before too. I was wrong. to be there. My perspectives have changed quite a bit in the last several months, sometimes you find your focus is in the wrong circle. Things can happen to you in your life, or the right people speak in your ear to show one the light. This has nothing to do with how this season will turn out, it has everything to do with how I will accept to enjoy these short seasons, and appreciate more watching the effort our kids put out there each Friday night. We do not see the work that's put in by those kids in the off season to get them to the Friday nights we watch, and then evaluate, sometime harshly, and that is not fair to those kids putting in that work.  Let me emphasize that nothing is perfect in life,  none of us here are perfect , nor can we play football like these current Panther players, or did we ever?  Teams can't be winners all the time, programs are not going to stay on top forever, and coaching football is a darn hard and thankless job.  Some may say it's the nature of their job, however would you be willing to be scrutinized in your job as much as we have our coaches?  I venture to say probably not.

    My career was an Electrical Projects Field Engineer, not a HS football coach. I knew and know my trade well, so I wouldn't want a Frito Route salesman to tell me how to do my work, cause I sure don't know his. You get the point, a new perspective that takes a load off my mind, to just support these Panther kids, to enjoy the football season for however it turns out. I have no doubt these 2023 kids will give it their best shot. 

    Too much negativity will kill our souls, doesn't matter what it is in life. My change?, life is too short now, can't afford the time for negative thinking. Go Pack!
