You can have all the Jimmy's and Joe's you want but without proper coaching they are going to still under perform. Prime example in high school is Temple under coach Munson who had an extremely talented team yet couldn't get above 500. He gets replaced with a great coach and that same talent goes to the state title game immediately. In the pros, look at the cowboys for example. They have a talented roster but coaching and ownership is terrible. Thus they underachieve. Yet the Texans have now got great coaching and they over achieved with a less talented roster. Granted their QB is a great QB. In college, A&M had a ton of talent but crap coaching and look what happened. Texas for years had top talent and crap coaching and sucked. Same with Florida and Miami. They had tons of talent but sucked because of coaching. So Jimmy's and Joe's only go as far as the coaches get you. The x's and o's that the coaches plan involves is highly important. If you Jimmy's to jump in B gap all night and the run in A gap all night you are killing your team... if you blitz wide and the run inside all night, you are killing your team. If you are sending your kids 5 yards up field instead of reading the play and they run past you that's on the coach. You can't coach size and speed. Pro and college are a poor comparison to high school they get to pick their talent HS does not. Granted coaching matters but they can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. No talent, no workee. GP has size in the height department... they were pretty good looking kids there... and you can actually coach kids to get faster. That's a common misconception. Explosiveness and fast twitch fiber training is key... not to mention weight training gets kids bigger and stronger. I agree other schools have had and still have a major issue with a lack of size, strength, and speed big time. Most of the ccisd schools would be on that list. Most of the valley schools. Most of the TM team. Several GP teams of past years I agree with you on. Robstown teams... Kingsville teams.... Several of the smaller schools as well.

1967 College Station. State Cahampionship game Brownwood vs Bridge City. Brownwood coaches had been told that one man could not take down Steve Worster. 6 Ft.tall and 210 lbs and clocking 10.5 in the 100 yd dash. Two time all state and had rushed for 1,293 yds and had scored 22 touchdowns. On the first play from scrimmage, Worster took the handoff from Redbird Quarterback Joe Langston and started arond right end. As Worster turned to cut up field, Lions cornerback Roy Spence who did not weighmore than 155 lbs , came flying in to tackle Worster. Spence delivered a blow blow right at the knees, and the impact could be heard all across the playing field. To make a long story short, Worster in 24 carries gained only 87 yds. Brownwood 14 Bridge City 0. Roy Spence now lives in Austin Texas and has a Speaking motivation business of sorts and did have a Royitas Salsa businees but shut it down a few years ago. You can coach size and speed.
Copied from google Reverend Roy. He’s known for co-founding GSD&M in 1971 with partners Judy Trabulsi, Steve Gurasich and Tim McClure, but he’s perhaps best known for his electric and passionate personality. So, it was with joy and pride, yet little surprise, when we learned our fearless leader would be the first Austinite and second Texan to be inducted into the American Advertising Federation’s 67th Annual Advertising Hall of Fame. His accomplishments include bringing on renowned brands like Southwest Airlines, Walmart, AT&T and Charles Schwab to the GSD&M roster, authoring three books, co-founding The Purpose Institute to help companies find their core purpose and values, and even starting his own hot sauce line, Royito’s. But it is Roy’s heart, as President Bill Clinton noted at the induction ceremony, that’s led him to success in advertising, leadership and all aspects of life. We couldn’t be more proud of you, Reverend Roy. Ride At Dawn!

C'mon man.

GP just made a great hire. They are bringing over the RF head baseball coach Arturo Elizondo to be the middle school Athletic cordinator. He is great with the kids and a real motivator. He was at GP a couple of years back when Harris was the AD at GP. He was with the Jr high at that time.

Woe is us.

Is the program progressing like you expected so far? i honestly haven’t followed GP as closely since Davis took over so don’t know much how the program is progressing but I know Davis is a helluva of a coach and I know in time GP will b a force again

One regional final appearance and two second round exits to a loaded Alamo Heights team that has the number one ranked athlete in the state. I would love to see us have a little more success but I’m happy with where things are. I believe the coaching staff is doing a great job in the trenches but can improve in at coaching the skill positions.

I wondering where he ends up at and especially what position he ends up playing on Saturdays. He has great size at 6'3" 210lbs and good speed clocking a 11 second 100m. No doubt catches the ball well to but I'm wondering if he doesn't end up on the defensive side of the ball in college.

Texas A&M CC. He's been brought in to work on the dribbling skills of our middle school football players. Since he didnt go to Texas or A&M or Alabama, he cant possibly know anything about football, right GPHATER??

I favor getting a coach from places like Hardin Simmons or Angelo state. This so called GPHATER last evening was in Portland and watching his great grand daughter play a double header and in the first game hit a in the park home run with two RBI’s . In the second game hit an over the center field fence bases loaded home run. She is in the 8th grade and will be playing on the varsity. Next year. She plays catcher and swaps off at 3rd base. I have three other great grand kids coming up at GP. I will work hard to keep fake GP fans like GPFan55 from undermining their future.

Wow, so disagreeing with your constant negativity about GP football is undermining your great granddaughter who plays softball? Thats a real reach, even for you!
