Nederland wins Mid-County Madness GAME STORY: [Hidden Content] KEVON LATULAS INTERVIEW: BLAYSIN FERNANDEZ INTERVIEW: MONTE BARROW INTERVIEW (TWO PARTS):

FYI - just got this statement from BISD "It was discovered that a student athlete at Central Medical Magnet High School was one half credit short of eligibility. The District Executive Committee met and it was determined that Central High School will forfeit the game against Ozen High School and therefore will be ineligible for playoffs."

Exactly. Asked Barrow about that since Nederland went through a similar situation last year w/ Livingston. [Hidden Content]

Yeah, Tom's been helping us out for the last year or so. He'll do football, volleyball, track and whatever else really. Enjoy having him and his experience around.

Just finished at West Brook football...here's the Bmt Enterprise coverage plan for tomorrow for MCM. I'll be covering the game itself - live updates, game story, videos, etc. Our other sports reporter, Matt, will be at the game doing a live stream. The live stream will be with fans, giving analysis, getting reaction, etc. No, we won't be live broadcasting the actual on-field action for the most part. Not trying to get in trouble with the UIL. This part of our coverage is something we haven't done before and I'm hoping it goes well. (P.S. we'll be doing a lot of live stuff before the game and welcome any PN-G or Ned fans to come talk with us and give insight) We will also have two photographers there, so we should have the game covered well...I hope. I, for one, am really looking forward to tomorrow. Tom Halliburton will also be at Memorial vs. Vidor for us. We're kind of strapped for stringers past him right now, though. One had a family medical emergency a couple weeks ago and won't be able to do games the rest of the way. Another hasn't been able to help the entire year because he lost his cars to Harvey. Trying to make things happen, regardless!

[Hidden Content] Everyone's holding onto their ticket or selling them off way above face value.

this is hilarious Right? I asked Roschon after the game last week if he'd stay away from social media this week and he said yeah. No surprise there lol (I'm sure you've talked to him a lot since then). Rivalry really is fun to watch, especially as an outsider.

Been here three years, Friday will be my second Mid-County Madness I've covered. Realized it was a big deal (duh) when the students of the schools started talking trash on Twitter. Was amazed how many of them actually care about the rivalry - at least on Twitter: [Hidden Content] My high school in Phoenix won three state titles when I was in school and had one of the best - if not the best - rivalries in the state. Doesn't even come close to MCM.

Haha this is great.

Offered to meet with you, talk to you since then. You've refused. At this point, I'm just going to let it go.

Yep, opinion and I really do like the conversation it brings to this forum. Thanks for that, everyone.

Thanks for your clicks, Soulja. I certainly appreciate it.

Well, I think next week will be the final rankings of 2017 for me. Not sure yet. But I'll want to be inclusive with them next season.

Thanks, appreciate that.

Fair enough, you dislike my work.

Agree with this completely. But no, I don't go and talk to anyone when doing these rankings.

Soulja dislikes me for a certain reason. I understand it, accepted it. Oh well.

Always look forward to your response on this. Like I've said before, 1 through 3 are interchangeable. Evadale was No. 10 last week...but also they lost to Iola, so they dropped out. Nice bounce-back win for West Brook, hence why they're back in my rankings. Real question I have is how often you think I'm going to barbershops and asking old grandpas for their opinions on hs football rankings??
