fyi -- Britt Bonneau is uncle to Trey and Cameron Watten (Coppell/Dallas Tiger players). Great family....both Bonneau's and Watten's!! (Farmers Branch Finest 
)
The outlook is good for SHSU.

Wow, that could result in a quick-Train to Huntsville! 
you got it, PD!
6/28/06 -- 16:00 -- I'm a little disappointed in you guys on this coaching rumor thing!
Talk about disappointment.....I haven't heard a word from all the posters in the know about HP skipper leaving HP and taking another job in another district. Line forms to the right.
Yep yep, skip -- my thoughts exactly. 
The irony of it all..........if Train's is related to a person named "Britton" 
LSU hired Notre Dame coach (former LSU player) Paul Mainieri...

Turtle Thomas is now recruiting for AZ State.

So, any word yet on who the coach at SHSU will be, and any word on new coaches at TCU?
So how does a top 4A coach go from HP to 2A Celina without Train telling us about the rumor?
Train you must be slipping.
What no more about BB moving to CHS?
No UIL investigation?
Does the old CHS coach move up from freshman ball to take the HP job?
Or does the same move with Lew to Celina?
Any thoughts out there?

Celina will be 5A in a matter of a few years

Go out of town for R & R, come back and find this. Is Lew moving to Celina and taking over that job? Didn't know that James was leaving or getting out.
Celina also has a great athletic program in place with enthusiastic but rational fan support.

Ahhh, RFS. Was that a missing ingredient at HP?
Best of luck to ya, coach.
Ok, well as for Matlock; He had an opportunity to coach a 5A team straight baseball and instead took a 4a team where he has to coach baseball. So what baseball coach that is suppose to be soooooo good would do that?????????????????
Besides when did LD ever get anywhere in baseball (playoffs etc)??????????

Woops, got so caught up in the moment forgot a vital part of my statement! He has to coach Football and Baseball and we all know what that means!

Sorry TigerParent but LD (Lake Dallas) has a pretty strong tradition in baseball.
They have made the playoffs the past eleven years.
Upset Highland Park last year in a two game sweep (2005 defeating Kershaw 1-0).
Were in the state final four in 1997.
Have been a district contender for many years.
Made a trip to the regional finals a few times.
Did this answer your question??????????
Well it is still 4a vs 5A and he has to coach football and baseball at LD? I rest my case!
I'm not sure what case your trying to prove.
Who cares if it's 4A, 5A, or baseball for the blind. Obviously the man wanted to coach baseball at a 4A school, wanted to coach LD, and did not mind coaching a little football.

Still wondering if any news in Huntsville about the new SHSU coach?
AD says they will announce decision on July 3.
TigerParent - I did not see anywhere that he is also coaching football. Did I miss that?
At many 4A schools the Head Baseball coach does not coach anything else.

I gotta ask -- who cares what else Matlock coaches? Here is a guy with a track record that did not want to continue to work for peanuts (college baseball peanuts, that is -- and believe me, they're peanuts -- I just a few days at TCU). He will be good for the program, regardless of his other responsibilities. Until recently, the Plano head baseball coaches also coached football -- this isn't an abnormality -- this is Texas, you know.
No one is questioning why Lew Kennedy would leave coaching all together -- for a principal's position (not too glamorous). Again, a personal decision that is probably perfect for him and his family. We should all hope he finds nothing but happiness in Celina.

I'll throw another coaching move in that some of you may know about.....
Tim Harkrider has accepted the head coaching position at Fort Worth Brewer (White Settlement ISD). Tim is moving to Brewer from Kilgore HS in Kilgore, TX where he guided them to two district 17-4A championships in his two years there.
Some of you may remember Tim from his days as a player at Carthage HS where he won the 3A state championship in the early 90's. Tim played on the Mustangs during those days and went on to the University of Texas. He was drafted by the Angels out of UT.
He is a great coach and the Brewer players and fans are going to really like him. Ya'll don't know how lucky you are.

The only HS in White Settlement ISD is Brewer...I am sure that is what you meant.

The SHSU job is Johnson's if he wants it. What is not known is whether SHSU is willing to make the monetary commitment to the program that Johnson feels is necessary. Announcement should be out this week.

Congratulations Matt! How is the team supposed to be? How many starters returning, etc.
I wish you the best of luck!!
ctiger -- from my perspective, it is an excellent job. Understand that I have never coached on the HS level, but it is a one-school town with strong booster support. The school does a nice job of remaining at the 4A-level --- and their district has been strong --- Mesquite Poteet, West Mesquite, Forney. All sports at HP have a nice tradition -- and there are fine, committed athletes. Pressure to win? Sure -- but no worse than many schools in the area. The parents have high expectations, as expected. It's a nice gig.
