Whew! He won't be coming to PP!

That "retirement" didn't last long, did it?:rolleyes:

Coincidentally, he replaces another coach who used to work up this way, John Hall.

Yep and they could not be more different, Slot- T for Coach Hall and Spread and sling it for Coach Bomar. OG got themselves a good FOOTBALL coach.

Probably so, but watch the other programs suffer.

Time will tell. OG has been competitive in most all other sports, well except baseball. Not sure what happened there. The girl's program has been up & down, but have recently experienced some nice playoff runs in VB & BB. Softball has kinda declined some, but I expect them to do better this year. :D Their track program has faired well too.

Just a question. I'm not hating. But do you find it strange that when coach Bomar had Rhett playing for him (the number one recruit in the nation ahead of Adrian Peterson) that he still couldn't make it to the playoffs?

It was at Grand Prairie. Not strange at all.

Great QBs and coaches find a way to come in third. Just saying.

agree..plus the mention of Peterson, in his SR Palestine went 6-4 and were beat in first round of play offs...having ONE amazing player and a bunch of scrubs does not mean much in 4A and 5A ball

Not at GP. Imagine taking Bloomington High School's student body and putting them into a district that includes Cedar Hill, Duncanvile, and Desoto. The addition of Rhett Bomar only brings them to just below average.

So what demographic keeps grand prairie from having the Jimmys and the Joes?

That's exactly what I meant. If football is all that matters, he is your guy.

Hey, I went to watch my 2nd cousin play two bball games this year. Got to see your son play some. My cousin's description of your son, that's a football player out there playing bball...lol...The 'boro has a decent team, but is the coach always that high strung.

[bigwood33]

Yes he is! I wish he would take a Zanex or 2.

As of 2009, GPHS was 74% hispanic, 15% white, and 11% black.
You've also got SGPHS to the south, Cedar Hill, Duncanville, and Desoto to the east, Arlington to the north and west, and now Mansfield with their exponential growth, and all of these are much stronger traditionally. So, it's hard to keep the few athletes that might come through there.
You don't see many 50+ point losses at the 5a level, but GP does.

No one is afraid to go to the Gopher Bowl these days, are they?

Was the demo the same in 2004?

If so I can see your point.

Oh yeah, been thataway for many moons.

that's good news for Orange grove they are long over due for a good coach. orange grove typically a small team with lots of speed and big hearts, scrappy bunch guys who leave it all on the field. the 2006 playoff team they had was an awesome team with a never die attitude. but have fail to make the playoffs since then.

Actually they were competitive in softball last year. We held on to beat them by one point last year and even though they didn't make the playoffs they lost most of their games by one run in district. Thank goodness they are in a different district.

I wonder if Coach Bomar is going to live in OG or commute.
