Thought Pieper opening would hurt them but it’s only seemed to help by dropping them a class. Every athlete seems to prefer to be at SV.

In other words you were wrong? No fucking way!

Riley Dodge is leaving Southlake for a job at SMU.
 

 

Someone is scared of Aledo just like North Crowley’s coach.

Couldn't beat DeSoto so he's running....

Southlake hasn't won a title in 20 years.  Time to get the fuck out.

Texas 6A is probably harder to win than the ACC.

It does feel like Riley Dodge didn’t catch a ton of flack for losing as a favorite. He had a lot of high profile losses that they were expected to win, including this year.

Dodge is getting out ahead of the pretty significant demographic shift that is working its way up through Carroll ISD.

More Asians?

Boswell had some pretty badass Laotions back in the 90s

All the varieties that will kick your ass in academics, but as a whole don't show the interest in a sport like football, in enough numbers that you need to keep the machine running at that level.

on the math team?

I can't remember the Pioneers ever doing shit in football. Their alltime PO record is 14-25-1. they made it to the Semis in '77.

I don’t know the best place to put this, but Mike Robinson passed away this morning. His final coaching job was as head coach at Desoto in 2018 before a rare disease forced him into an early retirement. I have been friends with his family for 25 years now. He was a giant of a man physically and literally. I met him for the first time at the Church of Christ in Gainesville back in early 2002. He swore by that church from my recollections. I remember him saying something along the lines of there’s the Church of Christ and then every other church. I say that to say he was principled in the right way. He coached at Hutch when they had shut down before the 2005 season. He lost all his guys to SOC that season, but never complained about it. He was big on his family and I know he treated his players over the years like his own kids, many of which came from some rough backgrounds. I met a woman out here who remembered “Mr. Robinson” from when she was a student at Hutch. Her face lit up when I mentioned him. She hadn’t seen him since then, but he was Mr. Robinson to her and she did not say a bad word about him.

I know @Pancho and his family are close friends with their family as well up in Gainesville. Sad to know he’s gone, but man the best thing you can ever say about a human being is they did right by others and helped as many people as they could while they could. He looked tough because he always had the same expression on his face, but I know he was good to everyone he crossed paths with. That was him in a nutshell. Gone way, way earlier than he should have been.

Yup, my fam is close friends with him and his fam. I am currently in Gainesville visiting my parents before heading to visit friends in Houston. I learned about it last night while mulching leaves and told my parents who were in a little shock.

Everyone was scared of Coach Robinson in middle school, and rightfully so. He was the start of some of the successes of Gainesville in the late 90s/early 2000s and probably never got the credit for it. Was an unbelievable person, so all the Gainesville folks were excited that he got his chances at bigger programs in the DFW area.

He will definitely be missed.
