*Official Converse Judson Rockets Thread*

[LoneRocket]

We got burned w/passing tonight on several plays, Griffin (starting CB)was kicked off the team and Gamboa (starting CB)didnt suite up because the coach got an email from a teacher saying he was talking too much in class, this kid could have been punished by running stadiums like in the old days, why keep him from playing his last regular season game. There were only 2 CBs that suited up tonight. During the season I've heard story after story of how these kids dont want to play for these coaches anymore. Several kids consistently speak of quitting or transferring. Why is this? whats going on with the team? Im sure some kids are just disgruntled but the majority hate putting on the uniform for the coaches. Do we need change to bring back the pride of Judson or will we not go deep in the playoffs for several more years?
Back in the day we did not put the uniform on for the coaches we did it for the community, the others who wore the uniform before us, the others who will wear the uniform and of course to win a state championship.

After further consideration this original message has been deleted for the sake of the greater good of the community and program. It did give the impression to a certain extent that we are now "eating our own."

Can you tell me what has happened to some of the kids on the team. I noticed on the program that at least 6 kids that started the year or not on the team anymore, what has happened? I know about #21 and #18 but what about #3, #8 and #77. Heck #77 goes to my church and was starting on the OL now he is a senior and did not even make the front page with the other seniors.

I know # 3 moved back down to JV to get play time and that kid is a beast on defense. I can find out tonight about some of the other players such as #8.
I really think that if the boys really want to play and are passionate about the game they need to realize they are playing for a team, a school and the community not just for the coaches. So boys not just at Judson but many other schools act as if they are better than sliced bread on the field and carry themselves that way off the field. Those like that are going to mouth off about coaches and about the team and so on. They have no respect for authority.
But this is only my .02.

The Madison game is the most important game for Judson in many years. If they play poorly, it will confirm what many people suspect - the program is in serious trouble. For three years now, Judson has been average with a host of glaring weaknesses. Is this the end of what has been an exceptional high school program?

I'm interseted what are the weeknesses you speak of? I too think about the same way, it is a shame a decline of a major powerhouse.

[oldtimer 83]

I have no special insight into the Judson program. But I've been to over 250 Judson games and, just watching from the stands, I see some negatives that were not there before.
Defense - below average for the past 3 years, especially on the defensive line and linebackers. Is it the system or lack of talent? Even the defensive backfield of this team, supposedly the strong point, was torched by NB last week.
Tempo and execution - Judson used to routinely run off 15-20 plays more that the opposition. That is gone. Why?
Suspensions - Even during the Rutledge era we had these. But now they seem routine (this year's team - top 2 defensive backs).
Other discontent - I don't know the details of the Gamboa/facebook situation. And I was ticked off about the talk of the Green brothers who who came through the Judson system and then preferred Madison. Are these situations related? Is there something substantial in the Judson environment that leads to these feelings?
Some believe that football programs have peaks and valleys. Is Judson in a deep valley? Even the last Rutledge years were not rosy (97, 99, 2000).
Perhaps the long run of the Rutledge Era was just unique, not to be seen again. But I have the sense, (and I think many others also), that we are seeing something much different now. And it's not simply more losses, but a sense of something crucial that we have lost.

Like I said a few post earlier, I really think it is the way alot of this kids are raised. No respect for their elders and no respect for each other.
The Green issue from what I heard was that they thought being at Judson they would not be the stand out and would not get the attention they wanted.
I think the past few years the talent wasn't there, but I think that will change.
But going back to what I said before if the boys can't show people on the streets, in their homes and in the halls, then there is no respect for the coaches.
The passion has to be in those boys heart for the game and each other.

Chemistry is a fickle thing when it comes to team play. In '05 the team qualified for playoffs in the last district game against Reagan, then went on to be state runnerups. Reason: numerous injured players returned to the starting positions and chemistry. In '07, it was pure chemistry and the desire to be coachable that made that team state runnerups.

Starter were dismissed from other Rocket teams in the 80's & 90's as well. One was a 1990 player who was a beast(6'2-245 DL who ran a 4.6), but his attitude got him removed from the squad. In the late 90's a 1,000yard rusher was dismissed just before bi-district. Over the last 3 years, the talent pool is not as prevalent as has been in the past despite the enrollment being the same size as it was in the early 90's.

I believe a lot goes back to what Jrockmom said in the first sentence. Attitude which starts at home. Many players in the talented 90's did not start, but still worked hard even tho they were seniors. The starters played hard and had the killer instinct to put teams away. Backups would cheer from the sidelines and offer constant encouragement, knowing that the 4th quarter and many times half of the 2nd quarter would belong to them, too. Scout teamers worked hard to make the varsity players better and to show the coaches what they have to offer in the future.

To play athletics is a privilege not a right. And to play for one of the best programs in the history of Texas high school football is an honor. An honor to uphold the tradition. To misquote JFK, "Ask not what the Rockets can do for you, but what can you do for the Rockets."

[DiamondJ2]

Congrats to the Rockets on their victory over the Mavs. Defense did a great job in the first half, the bent but didn't break in the 2nd half. Great defensive effort on 4th & 1 stop and then the interception. If the Rockets conitnue to play in the trenches like they did tonight, the end result could be outstanding. For now---one game at a time, with Stevens up next. 1-1 vs. Stevens in playoffs.

[jrock210]

Wow....I got on here to share some great story that happened at the Madison game today and I just see depressing posts about a "dying team". I'm kind of disappointed in yall. Judson's still fighting hard on the field and if they hop on here and read this, they're going to lost hope. I know personally that some players in the past have read the bored and gotten upset by what is posted. I don't want to see it. I'm sorry if I'm sounding rude guys but come together and support the Rockets. When the season's done, then we can get on and complain all we want but for now let it go. Support our Rockets and get loud!

Tonight I was proud of the fans. Always chanting, always standing and always backing our team. We kept the yells and chants going even when we drove all the way to the 3 and fumbled and Madison recovered. We kept chanting and supporting. Rocket pride was alive. A friend of mine told me he felt it in the pre game warm ups. The guys on the field were pumped and the atmosphere was just sick! Everyone was hyped.


Go Rockets! Keep it up boys! Take it to Southwest next Friday. I won't be there next week so yall better beat the Falcons so I can see you in Week 3 of Rocket Playoff Football!

[jrock210]

Oh. That story I was telling yall about.

Well some of yall may know that the Judson cheerleading squad is letting my sister cheer with them this year. She's special needs and can't talk but she loves cheer so she's up there in their class doing the same things they do. Trying to learn. Well after the game and the school song, she was on the sidelines doing her usual kick things just like the other girls do. It's her way of celebrating. Some of the team came up and gave her high fives before jogging into the locker room. One guy came up and gave her a high five and was like "That's my girl! That's my girl, Shay!"

Just the fact that they're acknowledging her is awesome but the fact that players are singling her out is bringing a smile to my face.

Stay classy Judson football team [and cheerleaders] :notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy

I won't pretend to know everything about Judson or its history, but what bothers me is that everytime someone mentions anything negative about the coaching staff most judson faithfuls tend to blame it on the boys or the parenting. Yeah thats right it must be the parenting or their up-bringing, there's no way it could be a coaching problem. I will admit that not all kids are respectful toward the coaches, there are many that are. I guess because the're Judson coaches they are perfect and could never make a mistake, the coaches themselves are better parents than the kids parents. I must look up "Judson Coaches" on wikipedia.

Regardless what uniform you wore twenty years ago, it happens in college it happens in the NFL and it happens in HS, if a coach or coaches are unlikeable some players will tend to not give it their all, "thats a fact". I really got to know most of the players this past year and they were pretty respectful toward me, but there were a few I wanted to choke though.

Judson has a good core group of kids with a few bad apples just like any other program, not every kid that gets kicked off the team is a bad apple or has bad parenting (thats a misconception) Just maybe and i mean maybe theres a few bad apples on the coaching staff or maybe a few coaches received bad parenting when they were growing up.

Now lets get pass SA Stevens.

Are you crazy Aaron is one of the top backs in the Nation and Andrew was a top Athlete ...period, so why wouldnt they stand out at judson, do we have any standouts or nationally ranked players at Judson, i dont think so. I've heard so many stupid reasons why the green clan didnt attend judson, Aaron is a senior and the last of the group. That family has moved on and so should we, why keep beating a dead horse. Apparently we won without him on our side, wow anything to ruin a family.... ("we are Judson" really!!)

And if you just so happen to run across a myspace page of a kid ( I doubt it) you have no right to post it, not too many adults I know are on myspace, you must have an account.

I am only stating what I was told and I didn't bring up anything about the myspace incident if you had read down far enough. So I am not crazy, I am stating what I have been told. And yes we have some stand outs but we are about the team not just an individual. That is why you don't hear on the news after a game, that say Qualyn(sp) rushed for + number of yards with+ amount of TDs. You hear about how the team did. When u hear about schools like Steele, Madison, and even Kerrville Tivy, you hear mostly how their standout players did not so much how they did as a team.
That is what I think the Greens wanted and got with both the boys.

I'm sure most adults (and everyone else) are on google, though.

Nevertheless, I have now deleted the original post I made (see above) after due consideration of the fact that there may be any number of extenuating reasons for people to say certain things on social media sites (and elsewhere). There are probably more people than want to admit (and I'm guilty as charged) that have written some things at times on the www we wish we could take back, but of course once it's there it has a way of taking on a life of its own. What I wrote initially certainly didn't help, and I'm sorry I did that to No. 20.

That is true. Team is about all the players not an individual! The kicker is important just like the OL is important. Sadly the OL is what may be Steele's downfall [I'm actually rooting for them and CC Carroll in D2]

If the Greens did not want to attend Judson so be it. What people need to realize what they post on social networking could keep them from getting a job, into a university or in trouble with the law because they will research a person they are looking at if they want represent their organization. If a kid or adult posts it in a public domain no one should not be upset if it goes viral.

I agree with your last sentence but I'm sure his link wasn't researched or posted for any interviewing purpose so you can sell that story to someone else. I see no motive to post something negative (by a KID) other than to smear his name in the mud. That type of action is just as immature as his statement. He's a kid and who knows when he initially posted it. I'm sure he will learn his lesson when he grows up but I guess "you showed him" Huh!!

[B-NICE]

Soph #8 got injured sat out for 4 weeks then started against Seguin didnt do so well I assume due to the long layoff was moved to JV by the coaches. Now running scout O and D for varsity.

B4 the rumors get started, he's not an attitude problem kid and is being raised by very good parenting...lol (he just plain got hurt). His older brother was the all-state corner as a junior for the '07 runner-up squad (Erik Brown #2 now at Fresno State)

B-Nice the chastisement you've given me here is well-deserved and the points you've raised are the very ones that have been on my mind in a "small, quiet voice" cf 1 Kings 19:12) ever since I made the original post a week ago. Nevertheless, it wasn't until you pulled my chain in your post earlier today that I was impelled to edit out the original post, and for that I'm thankful to both you and God (not necessarily in that order) for spurring me to action, and I trust others will be too. Like you said, he's a kid.

I am a big A&M fan myself. I hope they win. Never had the pleasure to attend one of their games anywhere. I'm curious why you can't make the Judson game on Friday night when the Aggie game is on Saturday night. It is only a 3 hr drive to College Station. Anyway, good luck to both the Rockets and Aggies.

Go Rockets!!

I am going with Nephews and their wifes tl make a long weekend, and it comes with a two night stay. I really would have liked to go up in the morning but had made the plans almost 6 months ago. All I will say is that they better win and get to round 3!!!!!!!!!!

Just a little stat for everyone:

2 of the last 4 years the Loser of the "Hammer Bowl" has advanced onto the Region Final.

Judson team in 07-08 (Lost to Wagner I believe 21 to 14)
Wagner team in 10-11 (Lost to Judson 38 to 23)

Let's go Wagner keep the ball rolling with a win over Stevens!

[DiamondJ2]

What a great state title game and championship for Steele. I saw many offensive plays that reminded me of Judson past. Not surprising since a lot of the staff has connections with Judson. The type of Steele players remind me Judson players in the 80's & 90's. Same type of kids. They bought into what Coach Jinks and the staff were selling and the result was a state ring.

[TexasRed6x]

Merry Chritmas to all of Rocket Nation I hope 2011 will bring us closer to a state championship!!!!

Hey guys! Hope you're all excited for this next season

[DiamondJ2]

DB Trent Mathews sined with Colorado on National signing day. One Div I signee out of all the talent that some posters say Judson has. Hmmm.

[judrok1]

Interesting and worthwhile comment....with all this talent, where is the problem? Or have we reached the point in Converse where making it to the second round of the playoffs is the most we can expect, with or without "the talent". One thing is for sure....the drop off cannot be laid soley at the feet of the opening of Wagner. It just doesn't fit the reality of the past few years. Truth is, it seems that there is plenty of talent, but the trick is bringing things together. That part of the big red machine seems to be broken.

Enough of me saying exactly what every Judson fan already knows.

Anyone have a clue when the schedule for 2011 will be out?

Anyone know if someone is going to take over "www.judsonrocketfootball.com"? It is a bit embarrassing that no one seems willing to take over the administration of that website. Does Judson still have a sports booster club? I sure do wish I lived closer to San Antonio.....

[J-Rock Mom]

Well Judson baseball season has started. 1st scrimmage was Tuesday against O'Connor. And we won 12-7?

Diamond you and I know better, even when Judson was going to all those championships we did not get many D1 signings, so it is nothing to do with all that talent, Judson in the past was playing as a team, that is long gone, wonder why. I hope after this year that will be fixed all it takes is a resignation!!!

So how is the new coach working out? I see the only changes made to the line up were fill in players. Guess Coach Webb wasn't favoring after all.

He is doing a good job. He can't send down a returning lettermen, so nothing he could do about those who are returning. So the ones that the new coach has brought up have fought hard and I think are a good new addition.

Varsity Baseball won their season opener 12-1 against Roosevelt!!:heli:

Baseball has fallen way off at Judson, 10 to 12 years ago it was pretty good but the focus has not been there in the past few years. I do not know how the LL programs are around the area are but they used to help, I guess that has gone down too.

Judson had some good teams in the last 10 to 12 years and some good players. I know in 07 they were 1 game away from winning district with a tough district schedule with the likes of SV, Reagan, Mac, and Churchill.

[judrok1]

Does anyone have any idea what the schedule next year will be?

District track meet coming up Tuesday and Wednesday next week at Rutledge Stadium. Look for the Rockets to push Wagner and Steele for the district title. Rockets would be stronger, but 2 senior players were dismissed from the team and a third joined them (misery loves company). Girls will be a toss up between Judson and Wagner.

[J-Rock Mom]

FYI, Varsity baseball is now 4-2 in district we beat Wagner last night 8-7. Next up is Seguin this Friday nite in Seguin, the boys have already beat them once but it looks as if Seguin has gotten alot better last nite they beat Steele 18-5 so no looking past them. The Rockets are 2 place in district behind New Braunfels.

Go Rockets Go:heli:

[DiamondJ2]

Rockets boys track in the humt for another district title. Scored 58 points in field events and trail Wagner by only 6 points. Wagner and Steele coaches caught by suprise. Hopefully, the Rockets can pull the upset this evening.

[judrok1]

Anyone ready for some good news???

Our boys track team left the others in the dust, winning by almost 50 pts over Wagner in 2nd; our ladies were in first until the last event which was wone by Wagner. We came in 2nd, 157 pts to 155 pts (or was it 155 to 153?)

This is great news, after last year....the rumors of our demise are greatly exaggerated!

Now lets carry this on for the rest of the baseball and softball season, then hit the ground running on Aug 26 against Mac.

Can someone give me a "ROCKET PRIDE" out there???

Looks like the boys track team is back at the top, so does that mean that the football team should follow suit? I think that it is nice but won't mean anything, again it goes to coaching some have it and some do not. Any word on the spring game for the Rockets.

[J-Rock Mom]

Alright Rocket faithful, Our Rocket baseball starts playoffs on Thursday, against Churchill. Game is at 7 place Wagner!! So come out and support the hard working baseball team and cheer them on to victory!!!:yes::heli:

When is the spring game?

[J-Rock Mom]

Well, Varsity baseball is finished for the season. I haven't heard anything about the spring game yet once I find out I will post it.

[clemensbuff]

Rocket fans, what is the word from the Judson Spring practice? How are they coming along? I've expecting big things of the Rockets this year and fully expect a DEEP RUN in the playoffs. I'm looking for something like the 95' season! :D Anyway, I'm hearing very encouraging statements coming out of Steele's workouts so far and cannot wait for the Steele / Judson game this year. I really believe it'll be for the district title!

I also know that the talk is that Judson will be extremely good this year and the team to beat in our district, and most likely the region.

Has it always been like that at CJ or something new?

They had been scrimmaging all spring practice and I guess the coaches liked what they saw and didn't have an Official spring game.

Hope the Rockets get it done once again this year! I wouldn't mind seeing CJ finishing on an 8 game winning streak! Maybe a repeat of 95' is in order??!!!!:D

Its been a while since I had a look at this message board...I have been working overseas and I am glad to be back in plenty of time for football season.

That being said, I did read some less than polite comments on other threads, relating to Judson's anticipated performance in the upcoming 2011 season. Most of those commenting believe that Judson will underachieve again this year.

It hurts to read comments like this....almost as much as it hurts to see "www.judsonrocketfootball.com" still begging for an administrator. I never thought I would live to see the day that Judson did not have a sports booster club. I would assume the booster club would be the ones to admin the above-mentioned site, and give information on membership, meeting dates and times, etc. But I heard some gossip that Judson may not even have a sports booster club in 2011, because no one is interested enough to make the effort. I hope this information is incorrect and that someone will adopt "www.judsonrocketfootball.com" sometime soon. Sorry to make an excuse, but I spend half my time working in the third world and it would not make much sense for me to take over the site, although if something doesnt happen before the season starts, I probably will.

As for the negative projections for 2011, I will not fall into that trap. It is too easy to say that things will not go well, and much more difficult to stick your neck out and show true faith and Rocket Pride. It is dificult for me to believe that Judson can have a truly successful football season with Rackley as HC, but guess what...I think its gonna happen.

This year is going to surprise them all, and make us believe in miracles again. I think the 2011 Judson Rockets are going to add a new meaning to the idea of "teamwork", and we will be successful without individuals, but with A TEAM. It has been our most successful formula in the past, and it will win for us again.

Maybe this group of Judson Rockets will bring back some of the magic to the stadium, and the booster club will grow. Im choosing to believe....IN ROCKET PRIDE.

I agree with you the problem is that so many parents don't and won't get involved. I tried to get involved this past year but the booster president wasn't all that great and we never knew when the meetings were so it was a lost cause. I think there was only 2 parents and a few other parents from other sports. It is so embarassing that the support for the football and other teams is not there for these atheles.

It's been very noticeable at the school as well. Very little parent involvement at the high school level, except when little Johnny or Josie is not doing well in school. The times in JISD are changing in all areas. Apathy, not wanting to get involved, too busy doing their own thing instead of nuturing a student and/or athlete, etc, which is a shame with the new school and outstanding athletic facilities. I drove by the athletic complex last week and the practice fields, soccer field, tennis courts, softball and baseball diamonds look awesome. The Frank Arnold Athletic Complex and DW Rutldege Stadium are outstanding. Students, parents and people of Judson should be extremely proud of all the new facilities.

Brandeis, Aug 19 @ Judson. Varsity at 10. JV at 9. Or so I've been told.

The Big 12 also voted today for a moratorium on televising high school football games for one year on the Longhorn Network. It's a shame, too, because Judson/Steele was on the tentative schedule for this year.

I have been watching the Senior Lead Workouts and I think we are looking pretty dang gone good!! Can't wait to see them in an actual coach lead workout!!

So I know this has probably been discussed before but who does Judson have that is a returning starter or has seen alot of field time? What does Judson need to replace and how good will the defense be this year? I have heard alot about the line backers but I know we lost most of the secondary last year.

You can look at this site and TGO thread and they will both be able to give you in site to what Judson has coming back, which is about 13 starters. They return most of the skill positions and OL, as far as the defense I believe they return about 5 starter. I hear that they should have a good secondary only time will tell.

I agree I saw him play last year and he had his issues. I would think that we have enough talent to replace him. I would like to know how is going to start at QB this year, i hope he is mobile and can throw the deep ball.

I have been hearing about 2 guys. McCarty was the back up last year and he is a tall skinny guy who looks like he would belong in a spread offense more than anything. He has a quick release and has pretty good accuracy. I haven't seen him throw the ball long so not sure on that.

I have also been hearing about a Junior QB that has great mobility and a decent arm but doesn't have the experience that McCarty has on the varsity. Look to see McCarty be the starter unless the Junior impresses the coaches in the first few weeks of practice.

I'm curious about the QB position as well. McCarty only has about 6 pass attempts on varsity so I don't think experience will give one player and advantage over another. I just hope they decide on one QB and stick with him and not alternate every series.

I saw some pics from senior led practices and am interested in the JR QB you're speaking about. Anybody else have any info?

I was told he was good but they moved him to a receiver. I am not sold on McCarty at all to slow, I am lokimg for a QB thatmhas great speed and a great arm out of 3000 students one would think we could find one kid that fits the bill.

The junior QB that was at the senior lead workouts has been a starter since middle school and has a great winning record under his belt. He had a great arm and is coming into his own with varsity. He was on scout team last year and the head QB on JV with 7-3 record, on the 3 games we lost he didn't start. And his freshmen year 9-1, 8th grade 9-1 bi-district champs, and 7th undedeated. I know that JV, freshmen and middle school are different from varsity but just throwing that out there.
The young man you were speaking of that was moved to receiver was moved there in the spring, for good reason. He is a much better receiver than QB.

McCarty may be slow but he is faster than Hernandez was last year. The reason we don't have great QB's is because we don't put the best athletes there. The athletes play the skill positions due to the style of football Judson plays. The QB in Judsons system must control the huddle and hand the ball off or make quick throws. Nothing to fancy.

RnB you are exactly right but why can't we have a great athlete at that position? I have only seen a few that really fit the bill like Perez, Jinks, Stevens, Waters, and maybe Bouldin but boy could they spread the field. I would love to have about a 6'1" 200 pound kid that can run a 4.5 and throw it 60 yards now thats a Rocket QB. I know we have to have someone that fits the bill but in this system that kid would be playing on defense and that is what I have an issue with.

[judrok1]

Sorry to be picky, J-Rock Mom, but you have only 9 games posted on your schedule. You have left off TR, which should come after Leander and before WC, I think.....unless our schedule has been reduced to 9 games and I am behind in the news.

As for the kid we lost to Katy, its kinda interesting to note that he didn't end up at Mayde Creek, or Seven Lakes, or Morton Ranch.....he ended up at Katy.

The rich get richer as they say.

Thats fine...Im excited about football season. Not much could get me down, unless I read in the newspaper that Streety has been hired as JISD Athletic Director...THAT would ruin my day (Im not starting any rumors...I was just thinking of something ridiculous that would also drive me insane...).

From what I have heard from my husband defense looked pretty good today. Offense also!!

Idk what your husband was watching but the only thing that looked good today was the view of the new sports complex. Run defense did farely well but gave up some runs. Pass defense was bad. Offense as a whole wasn't very good but with starters out and routine plays nothing is going to look good. Judson came into the scrimmage to work on areas that needed work. Not to win. But I guess that's what scrimmages are for. Real deal is next Friday.

[J-Rock Mom]

Neversaid they looked great just good. And that is exactly what a scrimmage is for to see what needs work and to also see how some boys react underpressure. Some of the underclassmen that played today if they didn't step up they may end up back down. I have never put too much into a scrimmage, it is just practice. Way play your starters, who might get injuried.
There will be alot of changes made.
Yes, you may not like what you saw today but those kids worked their butts off and so do the coaches. Yes, some of you think Rackley needs to be replaced but it is not happening this year so get over it. Go out an cheer for your team if they are your team. If you are a Rocket fan you would know that they have always started off slow and picked up speed as the season goes on, when most other teams are fizzling out.

GO ROCKETS GO!!

That last post I made was not to criticize but just to state what i saw. I believe the way Judson runs their scrimmages is the right way. I am also one of the few who probably believe its not Rackley who can't get the players energized its the coaches that didn't experience rocket pride first hand. Judson made the mistake of allowing the middle school coaches that were around during Judsons better years end up at steele. We can't continue a tradition when our ciaches dont know what the tradition is about. I am sure they are all great coaches but imagine every single coach with the fire that soto has. That is what it was like not too long ago.

The thing to remember it has only been two weeks. This team has talent and everyone today saw that. I know that they ran basic plays for the most part. The only thing that stood out that there was no fire, like in the past and maybe that was because it was a scrimmage. The defense played ok they just gave up 4 big plays, so there is light at the end of the tunnel. We must work on the secondary now they stood out a ton today. Brandies will be a good football team and gave us something to work from and that is what a scrimmage is for.

[nevaplayedk9]

Judson did not play 2 WR starters, RB starter #5 and a few other kids. Brandies apparently played like it was a regualr season game, scouting them this week and all.....and wanted to win.

Judson only talked to it's players last night about brandies, and only discussed the formations they like to line up in.

Judson begins to scout Mac tomorrow and will be ready for the start of the season......if anyone recalls, they never really dominate in a scrimmage in years past.....even with D.W.

Thanks for the info, yea it looked as if they just wanted to get it over with and to avoid any injuries. The two issues for me were the fire and emotions and he other was the secondary, but they should be able to take care of both of these.

you gotta remember too that the Judson Superindendant just sprung the coaches with a last minute "in-service" at the start of two-a-days and it lasted until today.....so the coaches had to re-arrange their practice schedules around the "in-service" making the kids start at 0500 in the morning then a second practice after 4pm....all because the super wanted these "in-service" classes completed by a certain date.


the kids seemed to respond well and their was no attendance issues, now starting monday it's back to a regular schedule that both the coaches and players are used to, so I'll take a little of pre-season adversity to get the kids focused even before the season starts......FIRE UP ROCKETS!!!!!

Judson made the mistake of allowing the middle school coaches that were around during Judsons better years end up at steele. We can't continue a tradition when our ciaches dont know what the tradition is about. I am sure they are all great coaches but imagine every single coach with the fire that soto has. That is what it was like not too long ago.

I've been saying this for years. The assistant coaches at Judson have been pathetic for years now. They do not know what Rocket Pride is all about and do not prepare the kids to play Judson football. Since Rackley picked them, he has to take some of the blame. I see absolutely no passion from the players these days. Like I have mentioned before, I have had the extreme pleasure to play for the last three Judson coaches. Back in the early 80's when Arnold was head coach, Rutledge the DC and Rackley the secondary coach. They laid a foundation that lasted for many years. Unfortunately it appears to have worn off over the last decade. The passion & fire in the players today in no way resembles that of the players of the 80's & 90's. But anyone who has played HS football knows that it is the assistant coaches who spend most of the time with the players and prepare them to take the field each week. So in my opinion, poor assistant coaching has led to Judson losing it swagger over the years. Pure talent alone has allowed them to continue to have winning seasons and make the PO's, but the deep PO runs have been few and far between as of late. With all that said, I will continue to support the Rockets and root them on in any way I can. I look forward to another winning season and hopefully a deep PO run.

Go Rockets!!

i feel the same way too.......i've been spoiled over the last couple of decades and now I see Jinks with that same eye of the tiger poise over at steele, the same look DW had back in the day and I ask myself....."how did we let him get away?"

[JudsonMom07-15]

I went to the scrimmage today. I didn't see passion. Then I saw the D coach lay in and the boys performed.

I know that the back of my pants were soaked so I couldn't imagine the misery the team was going through, but.....so was Brandeis!

JUDSON ROCKETS......this is your season! Don't play for YOU, you have plenty of time for that, play for the TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a team effort. We come to see the team, not just one person. A team wins the game, not an individual.

Judson Rockets have a lengthy history and YOU are part of that. Continue to excel academically and sports wise. Carry the name. And if you want more loyal fans, let them know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Too often the players today want to play for themselves and not the team. Judson has always had good talented players, but those players have not always played team ball. For whatever reason, the coaches have not been able to instill that discipline into the players of today. You don't have to go far to see a good example of how far good team play will take you. Amost all of the Judson championship teams were not the most talented teams on paper, but were able to get the job done through great team efforts. All those North Shore and Aldine Eisenhauer teams Judson beat were loaded with D1 talent, but Judson prevailed because they played better team ball. Hopefully the players can catch a little of that concept and have a outstanding season.

Go Rockets!!

That is what I am talking about, no passion or emotion. I can remember getting the kids would get so fired up in a game when they made a great play, not anymore and the question s why. I do not think there is a single one of us that thinks we do not have the talent, but this is a team sport. I know folks think I am down on the coaching, but they must get these players to lay it on the line for each other. I will never give up on these players and the team but it is very frustrating to know you are as good as anyone in the state and do not play like it.

[nikkit12]

I did not attend game but husband and son did and they said a lot of the players did not play that they expected to see. I will withold my opinions till I see them play. Maybe the coaches wanted to see what they have in reserve instead of what they know they have?

[judrok1]

I was at the scrimmage...I stayed from beginning to end. I have missed very few scrimmages over the past 25 years. Of course, I am not privy to certain information others have, such as what players are out and what the coaches intentions are regarding the "goals" of the scrimmage.

All I can say is that I really have no idea what to expect Friday night against MacArthur. It is clear what I saw during the scrimmage is nothing near what I expected, and hoped, to see. Both Offense and Defense seemed to be confused most of the time and looking towards the bench. Brandeis was sharp and focused. I would never have guessed that our team included 50 seniors (!) and 13 returning starters. The execution errors, the offsides/motion/contact penalties, etc, all of these things were unexpected especially from a veteran squad. BUT I cannot forget that this was ONLY a scrimmage.

It was very hot, and I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been to be out there in pads. I really wish I had something else to say. I do not want folks getting frustrated or angry with me because all I am describing is what I saw. I hope that others saw things differently.

I am first and foremost a JUDSON ROCKET FOR LIFE. I want us to win every game, and to perform at every scrimmage like a team ready to blast off into the playoffs. I'm not going to say anything more about the scrimmage...those of us who were there know what we saw.

What everyone needs to focus on is the Mac game. It is important for the sake of fan support that this team start the season successfully...another season of empty bleachers will be so painful to see. I think if we start out well people will start to talk..then they will want to see the product in person, and the stadium will begin to fill. I hope that is what happens.

In fact, I hope our coaches were keeping our plans and intentions secret during the scrimmage so that we can surprise Mac.

GO ROCKETS!

FANS, GO TO THE GAME, AND BRING A FRIEND UNDER EACH ARM!

Great comments, I agree with you. What I saw on Friday was not what I saw when they scrimmaged each other. Now that is the past and there may be reasons for that. It is time to get back to Rocket ball, where others fear playing the Rockets, it starts with Mac on Friday.

Any scores from the underclassman tonight?

I saw one team playing a green team (Reagan?) on the soccer field this afternoon which I though was odd. Are they going to put up goal posts so they can kick extra points and field goals?

Well since the JV went to Mac and the Freshmen played at Judson, I would assume that means that was some other team? How many freshmen teams does Judson have this year? I know they could have made 3 if they absolutely wanted to. Which Soccer fields are we talking about? The brand new ones I would guess, correct?

[J-Rock Mom]

The only score I know right now is JV they beat Mac 47-6. And there are 3 freshmen teams. The game that was going on on the new soccer field would have probably been the 3rd freshmen team.

[Jrock]

It looks like the 3rd freshman team played Reagan yesterday on the new soccer field. Does Wagner only have 1 freshman team?

Former Judson booster club president arrested

Former Judson Independent School District athletic booster club president Edward Hernandez, 44, has been arrested and charged with the theft of more than $7,000 from the volunteer organization.

The district learned of the missing funds when the Judson High School football coach was unable to withdrawal money from the club's account, according to a district news release.

“Coach (Jim) Rackley went to make a withdrawal out of the account and the account was frozen,” district spokeswoman Aubrey Chancellor said.

The Judson ISD police and the Bexar County District Attorney's office conducted a joint investigation into the matter and Hernandez was arrested Thursday night.

Hernandez, who has two children in the district, was president of the booster club from November until April . He is accused of having stolen $7,759.85 over that time, Chancellor said.

Not good. It's terrible that somebody would do something like this.

[jrp83]

The Rockets played great tonight. Both offense & defense had good games. Other than some penalties and minor mistakes, which will happen in the first few games, they were impressive. I do not really know how good Mac is supposed to be this year, but Judson took it to them tonight. They also displayed a passing game. If this team can continue to improve every week, they should be poised for a good run. The Rockets put the game away early in the third and left no doubt of the outcome. Great job Judson!

Go Rockets!!

Glad to see you're still in the loop jrock210! I like the new username------space-related, and hence, most Rocket-appropriate.

You may want to check out the History website. I've expanded the original material covering the seasons 1977 through 1988, getting it up to the same level of detail as the stuff on either side. I did this in the off-season starting in late February, and finished on Aug 10. I then had to scramble to get the2010 season written up and uploaded. Finished it just after midnight last Thursday morning with less than 48 hours to spare.

Alright Rocket fans, we have an away game and need a carpool team.:heli: Who's in? I have a van full and another parent that is filling her car. We need a stadium full to re enforce to our players, that we are there.

Who's in?

By the way, Fridays game took my breath away. I am so proud of our Rockets. Keep the team effort alive, it's a team that gets you to playoffs and to the championship. This is your year, I promise, just keep it TOGETHER, not indivuidual. You can shine but do it as a team....I LOVE MY CONVERSE JUDSON ROCKETS. KEEP CONVERSE PROUD!

I understand there's a chance of thunderstorms on Friday.....If memory serves me correctly I think the JV game with Leander got truncated by lightning last year (J-Rock Mom probably knows)

Now, if anyone wants to relive the 2007 thunder and lightning show at Leander (and also an inspiring finish by Judson) they can do so at
http://www.judsonrocketball.com/2007.html

In any event, my long sleeve version of the HEY! HEY! shirt is now 1-0! The short sleeve version had its debut in the Leander game last year. If it's raining, I may have to switch out my red suede pumas for the more durable silver (lighter shade of grey) pumas with the red detailing.

On the other hand, I'm getting kind of superstitious about wearing those silver pumas when it's raining. I was wearing that pair when I took my infamous spill down the mist-covered steps at Halftime of the Churchill game, and then last February I was wearing that pair when I had a crack up, on I-37 next to the Alamodome, that spelled the end of my mountain lion colored 2001 Toyota full cab Pre-runner---also when it was drizzling (the good thing about that, though, was that I wasn't hurt, no one else was involved, and I also now have a silver 2011 version of the same kind that will be making its first football "road trip" on Friday).

Yes the JV game last year was called after 2 minutes of play due to lightning last year. So hopefully no repeat, even though we need rain badly. But with it being a road trip that would really suck, to do it again.

Rock Mom, who was #8 for Judson because the book does not look like that kid. I think he is the QB that was converted to WR is that correct? The reason I am asking that kid is big to be a WR that all.

If number 17 is your son then he looked pretty good in the game and has a great arm. I would also like to know how the JV player is doing that got injured the other night my prayers are with him and his family.

If they play like they did last night it could be a long game. Judson has to improve on defense in a big way or it will be an early playoffs for us again. I think they have the kids to do it, but will they step it up?

Did SV61 mean whoop! whoop!!???

In any event, I've created my own spin on the "whoop Whoop" by taking part of a fairly well-known 1993 song by KRS-One and splicing it with the July, 1966, Gemini 10 launch. The Titan II booster used in the Gemini program tended to make a peculiar but quite noticeable "whoop" sound on ignition. You can hear my masterpiece(?) on the start page to the website
http://www.judsonrocketball.com

and also the newly created page for the 2011 season (so far only the roster---the writeup will come sometime next summer).
http://www.judsonrocketball.com/2011.html

From the time I first heard that "Sounda da Police" song just before the 1993 season, I always thought the cheerleaders could somehow adapt that for our own purposes. Well, that hasn't as yet happened, so I went and did it for my purposes instead.

Another good game from the Rockets. You never know what to expect in a rivalry game. Had to listen to it on the radio. Seems like Judson kept themselves from running away early. Not saying Roosevelt does not have talent, but the Rockets' own mistakes probably allowed TR's only score and kept themselves from a couple of scores. I think this game could have easily been another blowout similar to the Mac game. I'm really looking forward to the Madison and Churchill games. Judson hasn't run the table in their non-district schedule in awhile. It would be really nice for them to be undefeated to start district play. They still need to clean up a few things, but I really think this years squad, if they continue to improve, can win district and make a deep PO run. Only time will tell.

Go Rockets!!

[jrp83]

Anyone know how Judson's underclassmen teams are doing? JV, Freshman teams? I hope their doing well since the varsity is basically full of seniors. Wondering what we got moving forward with these teams. As we all know, next year Judson will be trying to tie the state record for consecutive winning seasons at 36. At 3-0, I'd say we have a real good shot at 35 this year.

Go Rockets!!

[Jrock]

The underclassman appear to be handling their own business as well:

JV: 3-0
Sub Varsity: 1-1
Freshman A: 3-0
Freshman B: 3-0 (all shut outs)
Freshman C: 2-0

Plus, the Hammerbowl will be televised by Time Warner Cable. You don't want to miss the Judson/Wagner game on October 7th at 7:30 PM, because Time Warner isn't showing it live - but, you can catch all the action on t.v. a day or two later. Times and dates will be announced at the game that night.

Hey all you Rocket Fans stand up and clap your hands.

Wow! What a game. Boys work on those fumbles, secure the passes and continue to let the crowd know you love them.

At one point on the line I saw one of the players bobbing his upper body to the beat of the band, number 51 I believe, not sure. The Cheerleaders continue to cheer and dance teams continue to rock the stands and the :heli: Crowd :heli: WE ALL make the Rocket family.

Without our boys on the field there wouldn't be a game. Without the Band in the stands there wouldn't be a chant, and the list goes on.

Let's continue to support one another and get this job done!

Loved the game tonight! On the 50 half way up.

Any talk on this weeks game? The last time we played, Madison wasn't very happy.Obviously I hope we win, and if we end up having to play them again if both teams make it to the Bi-District round, I hope for a similar outcome. I just hope, though, win or lose, that we learn what we need to learn to get ready for District (and hopefully post-season) so we can win once the games start to count.

I even tried going to the websites of the opponents when I saw that Judson's Sportszone was not updated. No luck. It seems like none of the schools in JISD or NEISD update their websites in a timely manner.

Go Rockets!!

[J-Rock Mom]

I have only been to the last 2 games but JV vs Churchill ended in a tie 8-8 and yesterday's game vs Madison ended in another tied ballgame 14-14.
JV has a few problems mostly the play calling. We had the same problem last year and looks like it is happening this year. But the boys I think will pull thru. I think their record is 3-1 but I could be wrong. I will find out tonight and post it later.

Hey Rocket fans - one of yall might know this. I was trying to look up the recruiting status/prospects for Quaylon Jones and didnt see anything.

Where's he headed? Our area's leading rusher.

[TexasRed6x]

Fire Up Rockets It Is Game Day, It is Time To Go Bird Hunting. I am being told that the Judson side is sold out.

[nevaplayedk9]

Fire up Rockets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[J-Rock Mom]

Should we start talkin about next season?

[DiamondJ2]

this senior class is the first class not to play for a state title at some point in their high school career since the 1987 season. Not many, if any, schools in Texas can make that 24 year statement. Rockets can tie for consecutive winning seasons next year which is a great accomplishment.

[TexasRed6x]

Hey Judson Fans I heard a rumor today from someone that works for TSRN that coach Rackley is going to retire and that Judson will put Mike Jinks at the top of the list, again this is only a rumor from TSRN.

I've been hearing this same rumor from the same source for months now. If anybody should know he's probably closest to the football program than anybody else.

I'm still skeptical though.

Jinks has already been at the top of the list of many schools with openings throughtout the state at the HS and college level. I vote for TexasRed6x to be the new head coach if the vacancy occurs. He has stated numerous times how easy it would be to coach at Judson with all of the talent in place. To have all the answers to a successful program that will teach players not to fumble, miss blocks, miss tackles, throw better, etc because of all the talent present at Judson should not be doing that and if the players do any of the miscues above, it's because of coaching.

Sorry there DiamondJ I already have a job that I am held accountable for, again I am not sorry for wanting Rackley gone. You would be very surprised about how many that want him gone worse than I do. If you really like 6-4 season than go watch Wagner, I for one believe we still have the horses to get it done even with all the Hispanics that you always bring up. I went to Judson with all races my friend and am damm proud of it. If you really have issues with that you are in the wrong district, move to Westlake.

I don't have issues with it just stating facts. You show me the last 5A school to win a state title with a predominant Hispanic enrollment. Again not being racist, just stating a fact. Diversity in one's education is good, I agree wholeheartedly. As for the 6-4 season, I've watched a couple over the last decade that turned into state runner-ups for the Rockets when they shouldn't have made it out of the Region. There are times I also question the play calling offensively over the last few years, but then again like you I was spoiled by a great coaching staff during the 80's and 90's and players who bought into the system from 1981-2007. Things aren't going to remain the same forever whether it's the coacing or the players; look at Lee, Holmes and Jefferson who were once proud dynasties in their day (and what do they have in common today). Maybe it is time for change, but others should be removed too. I appreciate your honest opinion, as I hope you will accept my opinion based on facts.

Look DiamondJ I truly respect your opinion, and here is the deal with me, I will never give up, period. You mentioned schools like Holmes, Jefferson, Lee, if you can sit there and tell me honestly that Judson is not better in football and will not be better in future years then we have a problem. I still think after looking at this team we still can compete at a high level. I also realize that we got spoiled big time, and that what drives me. I do not hate Rackley, if is a fine man and a great Christian, but his record over the pastbfew years has not been good, you cannot live in the past. You and I know for sure that the district would never ever fire him, they are also proud. I know change is hard, and it won't be easy, but looked what happened to the school when an outside Arnold showed up, again I think lighting in a bottle can strike twice. I know you said about the last games and all the turnovers, and you were right. I was not upset about that, but what happened with the last 27 seconds of the game. You call a timeout after spiking the ball and you had a play in your pocket and then you could have called time out, that was crazy. Change will happen come on J, lets pray that we get somebody like Arnold or Rackley, they are out there. Please let me know you is interested I really would like to know. You and I have many things in common and that is we bleed Red Rocket Blood.

Just so y'all know...Jinks turned down a coaching job w/ Angelo State last year, right after winning State...and he told our community that he couldn't leave the people of Cibolo and the kids and staff at Steele..so...if he leaves Steele, I don't think it will be to coach another high school...it will be to move up, when he is ready.

Personally, I can't see him leaving Steele for at least a few years or until a more lucrative and promising postion presented the opportunity, even at the high school level.

I agree that the Rockets have more talent still than any of the 3 schools mentioned above, but don't forget Lee was a pwoerhouse for 10+ years as well. One of the things that is missing at Judson over the last few years is size of players and commitment of players and, yes I'm about to say this, dedication of some assistant coaches, which does fall back on the head man. Maybe it is time for a change. To have change means the unknown which to tradition at Judson can be unsettling. One thing that won't change is the student body back to what it once was. So I guess adjustments will have to be made. I see your argument, but hope you understand mine from previous posts.

http://blog.mysanantonio.com/hssports/2012/01/judson%e2%80%99s-rackley-to-retire/

Interesting to know who's on the list of candidates?

[DiamondJ2]

Coach Rackley retires after 11 years as the Rockets head coach. He compiled a 101-36 record reaching the playoffs 9 out of the 11 years.

4 Region IV titles
2 state runner-ups
1 state championship

Great motivator. Truly had the kids interests at heart. Very emotional, Christian man. Going to miss the pencil throwing "dag nab it" emotion.

[nikkit12]

Rackley will be missed. Wonder who will be the replacement

[TexasRed6x]

Well Judson fans are you ready for a new coach and direction, could be very exciting. The uppers must of felt that we needed need a new vision for the team, and that is why no Soto.

[Judson_Rockets_2012]

Change is very much needed here at Judson . This change that is about to happen could very well indeed be the Spark that is missing. :D

[DiamondJ2]

Change is on the way; will be here Friday; The new coach will be passing the ball alot more if he can find a qb; guaranteed.

Believe me Judson has a good QB 6'1" Garcia will set up to the plate!!!!He was a starter all the way up until last year where he had to take the backseat to the senior. But when he went in on those few games and having to work with 2nd and 3rd string he did pretty good. In the San Marcos game he was able to throw a touchdown pass to Clack.
So we are really excited to be getting a passing coach, so tired of the handoffs ALL THE TIME!!!!:heli::heli:

Thr u go again w/ Lee, homes & Jeff!!!SMH Im hispanic , & I tk great offense to this comment. Most of our line on the undefeated frshmn A squad is hispanic, my son being one of thm. U mk it out like all hispanics are 5 ft nothing, & have not an ounce of athleticism in thm. My boy is almost 6'1'' and 230 lbs, & and is a beast in the weightrm. We hv a good mix of kids @ Judson, so PLEASE get off tht "FACT!" :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

[titus211]

I think your offense will look more like STP's an Oregon type offense. Smith ran a pro-t/veer offense and won with that and switched to a spread with and athletic QB. Judson has loads of skill kids, especially QBs and WRs that were NEVER developed that will now participate in 7 on 7 and I can see the Rockets returning to 90s form with 3500 kids and a football offense that actually uses all of it's talent. I think they will be run heavy, but with the capability to score on any play and that could be the QB keeper, WR or RBs taking the rock to the house on a pass or run play.

[titus211]

Which Judson title team had size? I am an Austin Reagan grad and played Judson in 84 and 86 and attended UT with Chris Samuels and other Judson grads and I don't recall Judson title teams having size and the most talented Rocket team I saw as far as size was the one with Kyle Fox and that was the last top talent Rocket squad IMO. Judson wasn't built on size, just execution, want to and conditioning, with a little speed and quickness thrown in for good measure, but never size and big time D1 recruits outside of a DB or two for the most part.

I agree Judson teams in the past did not have a ton of size, they did it with speed and execution and where well coached, Smith will have great talent ton of talent to work with.

Dont take offense to his comment. I understand where he's coming from and to an extent he's right, but not because Hispanic people are "non-athletic" or "small". I played football from pee wee in 6th through 10th grade in El Paso and obviously with a lot of Hispanic players (ps im Hispanic too). And when I moved to Judson, I tried out for the team along w a Hispanic kid from Lee. Now me personally, I made the team, and started at Tight End my senior year on the 04 State Semi team. The kid from Lee quit after two weeks and went back to Lee. The difference was that while I busted my butt, he didnt, and honestly its his problem. So if your son is really 6'1" 230 and plays on the line, hed better be a beast in the weight room. Be grateful that you have a hardworking son whom I hope works hard in the classroom as well, especially in today's society. But also realize that people like him, or me, or you, are the exception. Laziness and entitlement are pervasive amongst today's youth, and I hope this attitude changes soon.

Cool, w/ tht said Ill calm down. I dont hv to brag on my boy, but we dont rely on just Judson to train or hv passion. Hes been hitting the weights/training w/one of the areas best for goin into 3 yrs now. We moved into the area cuz my boy wanted to be a Rocket. So we want to be here, & HS is just a stepping stone to the nxt level. Hes very excited bout playing under Smith being tht Smith was an O linemn. I do believe tht great things are on the horizon for this program.:cool:

I agree with the coaching change part but, while not too sure about Miller's history, doesn't Donna only have one Title? My question is have they had sustained success? The El Paso schools are in the same boat. They beat up on each other, and of course there's always one or two "good" teams, but they never last past the second round. Hopefully Harlingen's success this year is a sign of things to come, but only time will tell.

Well, today was Coach Rackley's last day. And as a former player, it was a bitterweet moment. I'm glad he got to retire on his own terms, but at the same time, I hope he continues to inspire young people to live their lives to the best of their abilities. I know he has with me.

I understand he was a football coach. And football coaches are hired to win games. And while we won our share, he also saw that his influence could be felt for years after we left that field. He prepared us for winning in life. I never had a coach on all my teams that cared that much. I've heard rumors of recruiting, of favoritism, of helping his players out of trouble, but from my years there, if you wanted to be somebody on this team, you worked your *** off, and then some. You wanted to be a successful student athlete? You worked your *** off, and then some. Our success was up to US as individuals.

I've heard that a culture change was needed in the program. I'll be honest and say that I haven't been as close to the program as most, so I'll take it for what it's worth. But I can guarantee you that while the winning and losing, the constant griping, while that bothered him, his number one goal was to make sure those young men succeeded in life. Whether or not they listened is a completely different story.

So on this day I say God bless you Coach, good bye, and good luck in your new retired life. I look forward to hearing from you, and thank you for all that you've taught me. I am who I am partly because of you.

He does, but while it is good to honor the tradition, it's best if he forges his own path. I'm really interested to see how good this program becomes in the next couple of years once he gets his system in place.

W/the young talent coming thru the pipeline its gonna be interesting. The Judson frshmn A team & B squad went undefeated. In spite of the fshmn coaches not doin a good job of utilizing the talent to the fullest. So I certainly hope tht coach Smith can come in & get it goin. It seems to me tht of the curent classes @ Judson the frshmn will hv the benefit of hving a couple of yrs to really get the system down. Just thinking bout it gets me fired up, cant wait for Aug to get here!!!!!!!!!:heli:

I know today was Coach Smith's first official day on the job but has he discussed with the players what is planned for this offseason??? Wondering if he's keeping Boot Camp, Spring Ball, all that good stuff.

BootCamp is still happening, I am sure Spring Ball will continue also. I don't see him coming and changing things that drastically. He will have to ease into it.

[TexasRed6x]

does anybody know the full schedule for Judson not just the non district schedule?

Future Rockets' offense might look something like these highlights. STP wasn't the biggest, but they were very fast and played great defense. They also had a bunch of diversity, with Latino, black and white players from working class families. Chessher built that at STP, Smith should be able to build a big time power because very few schools can claim a tradition like Judson and he already has that going for him he just has to implement a new system, that used all the talent, not just the tailback.

[bullrock]

The only difference in that offense and what Judson used to do is the color of the uni's and huge QB. I didn't see a lot of passing in the video.

STP used 2 QBs that rotated every play, one was Gus Barrera at 5'9' 165 and 4.5 speed (lost before playoffs to leg injury) and Aryn Sharp, 6'2" 235 4.7. They could pass rather well, ask the Woodlands, Skyline, DeSoto, Klein, Wagner, Cypress Woods... They spread the field and completed screens swings and high percentage plays. The spread isolated defenders and let them get one on ones and big plays in both the running and passing game. IMO I think this is what you will see at Judson, not an all out passing attack, but a team that passes, but always keeps the defense on its heels with the threat of the big play from any offensive skill player.

Addition by subtraction, lets stay possitive for our boys. I believe tht Coach Smith will appoint someone more than capable to make him/our boys successful. Still very positive & excited!!!:)

Sorry to hear that, I thoughtbhe would have been a great D coach under Smith. I wonder how many of the current staff are going to stay. I wish coach Soto the best and maybe he can get a HC atva small school and then come back to Judson.

[TexasRed6x]

Does anyone know Judson schedule this year, I know who they will play I was wondering home and away.

Thanks

If I was a starter, I better work my butt off to impress the new staff and to keep my position, but realize I may change positions. Attitudes better be checked at the door, and forget about what you did last year. As I've stated before, work ethic and attitudes should be very high for the remainder of the year. Some may resent, but self-discipline not selfishness needs to rise to the top. "All positions are now opened--true players need apply!!" "Do your best, don't sweat the rest"

That's what I'm talking about!!! Reading those quotes, and remembering "I'll do my best THIS PLAY" makes me remember Boot Camp and mat drills...getting that itch!!! lol

[diegokid27]

Just got off tht ''which stadium is tough to play in'' thread. Them folks got issues, and I thght people hated the Rockets!!!!!:eek:

[J-Rock Mom]

Most of the people that hated us have now grown up and moved on. Thank God for that. So many times I had gotten into with other people that had nothing but bad stuff to say about my Rocket boys. But most of them are no longer around!!!

I found one a couple years ago, at Steele's first game against the Rockets. While we were sitting on the Steele side, I met up with a couple of old teammates from Judson...Anyways, after the game, some guy started saying crap like, "See?!? Judson's overrated! Always has been! They've never been any good, just all hype!" He got to meet three starters of a State-Semi Rocket team that night lol.

Hello Rocket Fans! so do we have any updates on the team and what Coach Smith has done in his first couple weeks as head coach other than line up a pretty tough pre district schedule?

[diegokid27]

Just got back from meeting C.Smith w/a handful of other Judson parents. He let us in on wht he has planned for our boys in his system. He took on questions frm the parents aftr he said his part. The one question tht was asked tht has everybodys ears was if he has a replacmnt for Soto. He gave a hint, but cldnt say who it was gnna be. Maybe Rocket Nation can help out w/the hint he gave. 1 He played on the 92 Rocket squad. If anyone thinks they knw chime in.
