Start the JV.

[Pick6]

Coach Searcy will have WF turned around in a couple of years.

[ibricky20]

I just thought that was a little demeaning to WF.

What can you say when the Bulls are 8-0 and Hirschi is 0-8? We should win by a bunch and not have to play the starters that much. We want everybody healthy for our annual war with Decatur next week, and the playoffs. If we lose, life as we know it will change.

[BullsFan]

Morgan is from Decatur. Maybe he's just tired of having to say nice things about Bridgeport. ;)

(And just for the record, we've been where Hirshi is, and yes, it can get turned around in no time with the right coach.)

[ibricky20]

I understand being healthy and evrything for the Decatur game and resting the starters. I also know what both teams records are, I just think he could have had a better write up than that.

I don't disagree.

I checked the online edition to see what the other set of previews said... (Mr. Morgan does one article extolling his predictions from the week before and making some for the next week. He then does a second article with a breakdown for each game.) He did provide a preview of the game and so....

================================
http://www.wcmessenger.com/sports/football_content/EkkVkAEVllOVRXgcTt.php

Bridgeport (8-0, 3-0) at Hirschi (0-8, 0-3)

7:30 p.m. at Memorial Stadium

Scouting Hirschi: The Huskies are coming off a 37-0 loss to previously winless Iowa Park. They keep the ball on the ground 80 percent of the time. Darius Thorton is the featured tailback and he has speed. Harrison Johnson, who was the starting tailback, is now the backup, but is more explosive than Thorton. Hirschi's problems are the lines where it has not controlled any opponent.

Keys to victory: Don't turn the ball over and continue to limit penalties. Bridgeport is the county's best in those two areas and will likely keep it that way this week. This could be a big night for anyone that runs the ball as the Huskies are very weak on the front lines. The team has very little depth and the passing game will likely wear this group down before halftime.

Harris Ratings:
Bridgeport 225
Hirschi 161
Bridgeport by 48+
Last Meeting: Have not played

If you give a coach only three years to turn a bad team around, you'll be hiring a new coach every 3 years.

Hirschi has been down for quite sometime. It is apparent that in the current WF system, students can choose what school to attend. Most of them are smart enough to go with the programs that are winning (no disrespect to the Huskies). Bad set up for the district.

[Matthew328]

As long as choice is in place in WF, Hirschi will struggle....if it ever goes away Hirschi will return as the power in the city

[VWG]

Totally agree on the choice program killing WF Hirschi. Opening of WF City View (2A) didn't help things either.
You should see the WF city junior high games. If you think recruiting doesn't go on take a look at the high school coaches watching the games. Old High, Rider, etc... they know the kids have a "choice" to go to any HS in the city.

Lets see...year 1 we were 7-4 and two missed fieldgoals from advancing possibly all the way to the State-Semis as Canyon did. If you don't coach in Wichita Falls you don't understand. The Choice program is a KILLER. I'm not making excuses...there have been a few games this year where we should have won but didn't. Please don't judge us until you've walked in our shoes. Trust me, WE are doing everything in our power did get this rolling.

For the record, Bridgeport is VERY GOOD. They will do our district proud in the playoffs.

I agree when Hirschi was a power a lot of their size and bulk came from the City View area and it went well with their athletes....

Guys like Eric Ward, Shavodrick Beaver, Jurell Thompson from Rider and WR/DB Joseph Cherry from Wichita Falls High among others live in Hirschi's would be attendance zone....

Didn't mean to take anything away from the job the staff is doing at Hirschi. It's an uphill battle due to the choice program.
It was a comment that was meant to ask... how long does it take to turn around Hirschi? Searcy has been there 3 years, how many more years does it take to turn things around? I am not sure if Hirschi can be turned around. As long as kids can go to Kirby, Zundy, Barwise, and McNiel.... and then choose whatever HS you want to go to, Hirschi will struggle. I know a parent who sent his daughter to Old High for soccer. Lives in a Rider neighborhood. Went to Old High so his kid would have a chance to play more at the varsity level as a freshman/sophomore.
It's sickening to me as I remember when WF Hirschi used to be the best HS football program in Wichita Falls. Look back at their records during the 1980's and the early 1990's. They were going two to three rounds deep in the playoffs.

[westcoast54]

Don't throw Cityview in there. Those kids that go to Cityview live in that district. Cityview is NOT part of WFISD. If they leave Cityview to go to another WFISD school then it's just like transfering.

It's just been a very long and frustrating year.

City View ISD is fairly new....maybe 8 years old.....before the split into their own HS the kids there went to Iowa Park and Hirschi and neither progam has been the same.....and whats ironic is City View sucks at football

[slpybear the bullfan]

Westcoast....IYO, will there ever be a move to set permanent districts and eliminate the "Choice" plan?

[wtfootball]

Start JV

That shows no class.
