First football state champs now basketball , who knows we look pretty good on the baseball field too!!!!CONGRATULATIONS COACH RUSHING AND OUR FIGHTING CRUSADERS

Congrats.

No offense, not that hard winning state with 10 teams in your league. Thats like winning a New Mexico 6 man title or the Grey Cup for the CFL.

could not agree more.

Play nice boys. It's about the kids here. If they are happy, who cares how many teams are in their league. Just don't get real diamonds in those rings. lol

Ah yes, decredit a State championship due to ignorance?(Coach) Let me also guess your either a PUBLIC school coach or maybe a team we beat? Eaglesnest let me be very clear with something we obtained the greatest reward (STATE TITLE) due to hard work nothing less. Forgive me for being overzealous about our school and teams, but when your passionate about something its hard to hide The elephant in the room.................k back to hibernation

EPIC FAIL!!!!!! try 17 teams in our league!!! besides that my toy's are waaaaaaaay cooler than yours......or wait my team plays a harder schedule ....why not just congrats??????

I usually do not respond to things like this but I feel I need to. My son Haustin Burkhart played football at Hardin Simmons University last year and has now decided to focus on becoming a coach and transferred to Tarleton State University. The other day one of his instructors in his conditioning and fitness class asked the whole class if anyone in the class has won a state championship. He raised his hand and told the instructor he was a part of two state championships. The instructor asked him what school and he said Richland Springs. The the next question was what classification was it. Haustin told him 6-man class A. The instructor told him that did not count because that is not real football. This really made me mad, not only did he demoralize the game of six man football he put down my son. I have coached both 11 man and 6 man football. I can honestly tell you that I have become a better coach because of 6 man football. Maybe some of us 6 man coaches need to get a 11 man job and show them we can coach with the best of them. People do not understand the hard work these kids put into their lives. We tell our kids you get what you put into it. I feel that it does not matter how many teams or what divisions they are in. If they win it, they should be called State Champions. I guess we need to tell the 1A 2A programs that they should not be state champions either since they are not in 5A. Congratulations to Azle Christian and don't let anyone put down the accomplishments you have achieved by winning state in football and basketball. Keep working hard and enjoy the success. People are just jealous. I told Haustin keep your head high you received what you put into it. You are a State Champion and nobody can take that away from you. I am sorry if I hurt feelings or made anyone mad. This is the way I see it. Let the kids and coaches enjoy their time. The people that are gripping are not the ones paying for the rings anyway. Show that ring off. Enjoy your moment and God Bless

I went to Tarleton and took that class
from the same instructor. (I checked the schedule).
Saying 6man isn't the same football is like saying
that particular instructor isn't a coach
cuz his daddy is the AD.
DOH!

Now, now.
There are only a SELECT FEW
of us
that are allowed to say really stupid things.
You ain't in the club.

Yeah you're right that was rude of me. I was more so joking than anything. TCAF and TCAL have some tough teams. I don't agree with their rules on enrollment but def. respect their winning program. Congrats!

Coach Burkhart,

What is the instructors name? I have a mind to email him and share a piece of my mind.

Good form Coach.
As iron sharpens iron.

Just check the Class Schedule.

Let's wait until the end of the semester. Haustin is still in the class.
