No..no it cain’t. But it can or in your case can’t. Thats clearly the point. Every year the same post gets brought up and here we are. Gums flapping about it yet doing the same thing particularly in mr Longhorns case. Point in example his call for a prove I said that post. It’s just old to see on here every year. Same usual suspects grinding that axe against the same people every year. Nothing you or I can do about it but let the kids settle it on the field.
Arnaud, how's the carp been bitn'? Does the everkleer still flow freely? Oh yeah, how's your boat oar doin, splintering yet? Since you drug me in deeper here . . .
As I've not lived in Strawn in years I probably shouldn't comment and feel sure Coach Lee, and likely Coach Rigdon, whom I've never met might likely feel the same. As I've passed through RS once (stopped and wife took a picture of me in my Strawn State Champs shirt in front of the sign) I know nothing of what goes on there than what I read here.
That said. Strawn didn't hire Coach Rigdon as HC then bring back Coach Lee after 11 man didn't work out and pay Coach Rigdon to stay at home so his son could play. As alleged on here what happened in RS, if one can believe anything on here sometimes.
He's on the sidelines at Strawn games as an assistant. I thought maybe they were looking for a place to settle down. Where he could be a working football assistant coach and the Head BB coach. Where their sons could play in a successful program.
I've no idea who called/texted/emailed who first. Not really my bidness or concern.
Most of the people of Strawn 20 years ago welcomed me as an outsider and family by being friendly, courteous, talkative, at a hard time in our lives.
I hope the Rigdon's have a similar experience and wish the best to those in RS.
Mostly I hope the young men at both schools finish growing up well educated with a bright outlook and future.
No matter what happens on the football field.

Correct! In my opinion! They lose to the Fort Worth team and Westbrook. They probably lose to Richland Springs in playoffs and if not a Healthy Motley County 45's them at State! That's my opinion. I've been holding my tongue since Mike said to stay on topic, Jayton vs Motley County but with this comment the answer is yes that's correct.

I can assure you I don’t know anything about carp, boat oars or want anything to do with everclear. I hoped you haven’t been tricked by a mermaid because I wasn’t intending on dragging anyone anywhere.I have seen a one eyed dog before. Just stating facts that mr longhorn doesn’t have a mirror and or is blind to his own surroundings. I’ll leave that be. The fact you stopped to take a picture must of been a great delight to you. Surely you didn’t take it in front of that big ole sign they have on the highway that says 9 time state champs. If so I’d sure like to see it, I bet that shirt looks intimidating. I too don’t pretend to know the happenings in RS nor Strawn factually. That said. I don’t know what all they did with rigdon I ve heard a lot of stories about the guy. Settle down?? From my perspective clearly there is something going on if he’s been to I don’t know the count 4-5 schools practically every year. Your telling me everyone has been the school that’s the problem. I don’t think they are looking to settle down anywhere. Looks more like team shopping to me. I don’t know. If it walks like a duck. Strawn however speaking from news on this site. Let Lee go to take a job in Aquilla along with all staff. Lee then hoses Aquilla. Strawn fires the superintendent to bring Lee back as superintendent. Crazy how quickly people fail to recall that from such a short time ago. I’m sure that cowboy guy is still crying somewhere. He sure has been quiet on the matter. Then comes Rigdon. Somebody called somebody. I don’t know the guy or care too from constant drama around him. Maybe he’s a great guy with a bad rep like I said I don’t know him. It just seems fishy. I would think they already had everything you mentioned at the former school. But who knows. The point is kids move in and out from and to every town. Happens everywhere all classifications. If it’s in rules it doesn’t personally bother me by any means. Play ball and beat whoever you have a problem with win or get better kind of thing. Whining doesn’t solve problems. I too only wish the best for said towns and kids involved as I think most people truly do. But come on surely people have blister by now from the horse. PS just for personal laughs is strawns motto still MIS. I think thats right now stands for Moved into Strawn.

I'm whupped Goob jr, you are more eloquent than he. However Moved to Strawn would be MTS. I don't think someone has to be biologically made in Strawn to qualify for MIS. It can be an acquired thing. Kind of like TE with RS.

51eleven, if my memory serves me correctly, I remember TE playing for the Coyotes way back in jr high, long before he was a star. But, I guess that we shouldn’t let facts get in the way of a good story! Same with the rigdon saga. You really need to know “the rest of the story“ to be able to pass judgment.

Simple miss input I fixed it just for you. I believe he was still a Kid when he moved. 6th grade last at hermeleigh maybe…(spell check that) I don’t consider a 6th grade kiddo the (transfer student) realm this is speaking of. (Moved Into Strawn) just simple rocks for bigham to throw and coincidentally funny

There’s the coyote faithful coming with the second. Hear hear
If remember right he was a stud in Jr Hi is maybe part of the reason BE became an assistant coach at RS? No judgement, he was the best ever. The numbers tell the tale along with the SC's. He was a star from his freshman year.

Just for arguments sake, isn’t America built on the foundation of capitalism? Hence, attempting to find a way to gain an advantage is all part of the formula. How long will a coach last in Texas at any level if he doesn’t win? If you don’t know, check out the THSCA & TAPPS
job boards around Dec/Jan. So, isn’t the “you don’t win, you don’t have a job” bluntly put, capitalism at worst?
Switching gears, in the workplace, if you don’t gain an advantage or outperform your fellow employee’s, is there a financial reward waiting for you just because you showed up to work? Furthermore, do employers look for the most talented, best workers when hiring? I would hope so, for their sake.
My point…merely playing devil’s advocate, but saying it’s unethical to search for an advantage within the given rules of the game, whether athletics or life, is quite frankly, loser talk…per the lingo of capitalist speak.

Hey Johnny while you are stroking that convenient memory of yours when did the Valley boys come to Richland Springs? Did they arrive before or after the Rigdon family arrived? Or was it at the same time? I believe the Valley family had tried to catch on at Motley County ISD before being brought to the cozy hamlet of RS. That's how Coach Bigham knew so much about the assembling of the RS team. That's a lot of players (Rigdons + Valley boys) to add to a small sixman team, isn't it? Jerry Jones must have been proud. Build a team on the cheap like that then deny it happened. Where is the coach's grandmother who posted on this website that all those boys grew up in Richland Springs? Which former RS coach posted that when the Rigdon's arrived at RS a state championship was pretty much guaranteed? Was it BE, Tyler's dad? If every sixman school in Texas behaved and added athletes like RS, RS certainly would not have nine trophies.

My point has always been if you do consistently search for an advantage, be willing to it admit so six man fans know that at least there is some honesty to go along with the lack of integrity! And if you win by having an advantage don't go around boasting that your team or coach is the best ever. You are merely playing by a different set of rules.

Yes BE posted on this website that he was hired in part because Tyler was a rising star. BE mentioned that he was let go by RS after his son graduated too. Probably just an administration thing. Lol

Everything in that post is accurate. In fact I understand Fowler has moved on? Too much heat? As far as the Rigdon's being enough to get Strawn a championship only time will tell. I guessing your premise is that RS can do this type of thing but certainly hold other schools accountable? Calvert and Motley County certainly were cheated out of a possible championship in 2019.

I’m only holding one person accountable because your ignorant. I care not what kids or caches go anywhere if it follows what rules are in place. Facts don’t care about your feelings. The only thing I have a problem with is that you are blind or just plain ignorant. The very same things you ramble on about every year. School should worry about education this and that but YOUR very own Lee to Aquilla( back to Strawn) and bringing a n the rigdons are doing. Yet you continue to ramble about it. Like it’s not happening in front of your face. Like I said me personally, parents can take their kids wherever. It’s all perfectly fine. I’m not here to argue that. I did happen to watch that state game on the TV. Motley was not going to win that game even if you sat the rigdons and the valley kids. Bigham had literally like 6 delay of game calls to put them back in chains. that’s all on him. Playbook was not good. Sweep with the good RB or try to throw it up to that big receiver. About the simplest team to game plan for that I have seen especially for a state championship game.

Now it comes out. Not only are you a Richland Springs fan and apologist but an expert on all things six man football. So you concede that RS trotted out a team of transfers to play Motley County in 2019. I have never seen a six man team assembled that was done in that manner unless it was RS doing it on the sly. RS doesn't win that game without the tranfers and even you know that. It ok as long it is your team winning right? The rules favor your team because your team wins if they are the only team with their own set of rules and ethics. FYI Valentine, Marathon and several other schools that have trouble even fielding a team much less a competitive team should have recruited those players first so you could defend their methods too.

I’m afraid I do not live in Richland Springs sir. Yes you could say I root for them as well as several teams in central texas. Like I said your completely wrong on the said game. Expert by no means but it is extremely easy to see a bad game plan continuously ran. Again I’m pretty sure everyone goes by the same rules. You just sound like your whining at this point. I only jumped on because your mirror is broken. Yet you keep on starring. I’ll leave it be. You think they have bad ethics and integrity ect.ect.ect.

Did you just accuse these students of using steroids? I mean, that's what it comes off as sounding like. If that is the case I would think you have some sort of proof or something, right? Perhaps you'd like to take this opportunity to walk that one back? I mean, I've got no dog in this particular fight but "Man did they hit that weight room hard. Couple might have even fell and got poked in the glute lifting so much." seems a bit slanderous to me. You know, considering the fact that it would be illegal and all. Maybe I'm just reading it wrong?

Understood, but you are incorrect when you say they are playing by a set of different rules…everybody has the same rules, it’s just up to the program to choose to walk the line or not.
On a side note, let’s discuss the 2020 state championship. Did Balmorhea disassemble a loaded RS team or a non-loaded RS team?
