Coaching staff

Continued from page 3 one year like it has this year" said Hudson

The transition led to a new offensive coordinator and a new offensive approach to football

Michael Hartsfield was hired from a list of approximately 25 applicants Hudson says that it was Hartsfield's energy that sold him and ultimately landed him the job

"If you don't have enough guys on the staff with energy, the kids will hit a lull " said Hudson "You need those guys to come in with that energy That's what Dale (West) did He had the same amount of experience as Michael, almost to a tee The same amount of schools he's been at - always with the same people If you look at those two resumes, they're almost identical Only one runs a slot-T and one runs the wing-T"

Hartfield is a native of Van Alstyne which should bring some added flavor to the Silver Spike, as if any was needed His Wing-T should be very familiar to Bulldogs fans as prior to the most recent successful run in the program's history, Howe's "Post-War Glory Days" happened from 1985-1991 when Howe featured the wing-T offense under Jim Fryar and later Joey McQueen Most casual fans will not see much of a difference from the slot-T philosophy to the wing-T philosophy Over the past three years, Howe has rushed for an astonishing and nearly unimaginative 4,000 plus yards each season and have blown the doors off of competition due in most part to fitting the proper philosophies to match the players' strengths. But Hudson says that changes were going to happen even if West stayed Having a 6' 5" receiver in Ty Harvey, who will now split out, can change the approach and can force defenses to get out of the box In the slot-T, Howe in the last three years combined threw the ball, on average, 1 89 times per game with many halfback passes included in that total Howe fans might expect to average around four to five in the wing-T, same philosophy, but a variance of the approach

"I think you're beating your head agaist a wall when you don't change " said Hudson "There's a reason Gunter changed They've run three different offenses in the last three years They do what matches their kids and we have to do the same "

Meagan Garrett was hired to be the new head volleyball coach and also junior varsity basketball and track She's been in Lone Oak the last couple of years

Tiffany Moreland has also been hired She's been in Denison and Commerce and most recently Wolfe City

"It's very difficult to hire a female coach " said Hudson "There's not a lot of them out there that coach A lot of them don't stay in it that long because of having babies and families We were able to get some ladies in here with very good experience and we're excited about that Right now we don't have a woman out there as a track coach and we all have girls and that's okay, but you need a woman out there.

Other changes that will be taking place is at the varsity baseball level where Heath Grant has announced to the team that he is getting away from the high school coaching staff due to needing more time with his family

Hudson says that he has a verbal agreement from another highprofile coach with, but it has not been finalized by the school board just yet

"It's been stable for the last few years and it kind of spoils you, especially in a small school " said Hudson
