i am not bashing this coach...i jst think this story needs to be told...
I am working at the country club in nacogdoches and the 1a Region 3 golf tournament is being held there.
Remember the top 2 teams advance to Austin at a chance for a state championship....
Lapointer and Big Sandy are tied for second at the end of the day, so there has to be a playoff.. Well we can't find Big Sandy's coach to inform him that his team has to play one hole to determine the 2nd place winner. We don't have his cell number or anyway of contacting him. His team is no where to be found. We look for 45 min. and finally we get his number...He is in Henderson eating with his team...He tells us that he thought they didn't have a shot in hell to win so he took his team on home...So we call UIL and they tell us if there is no one there to challenge Lapointer for a tiebraker then that team is DQ. We call the coach and he goes nuts. He said we can drive back it's not that far...It is 8 pm and there is noway hey can get back in time to play a playoff before dark.The coach just cost his team at a shot at a state championship. To me this is unbelievable. What do you tell the parents? What do you tell your kids? Sorry uys i gave up on you and didn't think yall were good enough, but in reality yall are and we can't go bc i left early......Wow!
