Best of luck to Silsbee. I've been out of the loop but looks like Smith's been doing a great job with those guys. WO-S lit up Wimberley a couple years ago in the same round. Could tell experience was a factor. Silsbee by 10.

Wish I could help on this. Let me see if they're still doing them.

The people who were trashing Peevey a few weeks ago are awfully quiet now.

Included in this was artificial turf for Dan Hooks Stadium, Ronnie Anderson Park and the softball field

Good. Maybe Coach T won't retire so soon now (although I know some would love that)

Lone Star and Lufkin took  losses and are still ranked in the top 10 and PA Memorial is undefeated and are unranked and got ZERO votes...  This is some funny stuff....

I was voting for AP this year but I've got to say, don't take these rankings too seriously. Most of the voters have not/will not ever see the Golden Triangle teams and defer to the metro area teams. Woodville and Jasper getting votes I can almost guarantee were the Enterprise's doing. I personally shied away from PAM after the BU game but would consider them for the top 10 now (BU's a lot better now than they were a few weeks ago)

Shapiro leaves Beaumont, but not before Vidor upends Crosby on a sloppy field and sets District 12-5A-II into a frenzy

Not much changed with so many teams on a bye

Asked the UIL if they'd permit these Sabine Pass kids to transfer without penalty. UIL said no.

I wonder if the coach is going to forfeit his salary, too?

He's the school's AD and teaches there as well so I'd assume not haha

Has the game gone final?

Yes. 35-24 Crosby.

Crosby second touchdown.

Kountze's Keyshawn Adams was stretchered off the field with a bad left leg injury. Thoughts are with him.

West Orange-Stark's second touchdown.

Crosby touchdown.

Game's still supposed to go on at 8 but our photographer says the rain is only coming down harder now...

All:

Beaumont Enterprise has partnered with Texan Live, so you'll be able to find highlights from select games on our website on Friday nights moving forward. Here's West Orange-Stark's touchdown:

8 of the 10 have byes this week I think. It's crazy.

Going to miss you Danny. Take care and good luck in Zona.

You got it. I'm getting in on pick 'em starting week 6 if that's fine.

I'll have our full list out before I leave (hopefully)

I do wish you well. But you'll be back.  No one does HS football like we do.  You'll miss it.

You're right about that. I'm going to freelance HS games in Phoenix when I get back and I know it ain't gonna compare...

... Well, never mind....

I know we had our differences, but was good to have you following along, man.

Some of y'all already know, but my last day at the Enterprise is next Friday. I'm moving back to Phoenix (my hometown) for the time being and will be doing some freelance for high schools/college sports. Just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone on here for reading my stories and interacting, especially over the last year and a half or so I've done mainly high schools. I'll still be active on the site and following along after I leave, but just wanted to let everyone know that the coverage will be different come October.

Danny, from what I was told is that it took $120K to lure Louis back into football.  Then they had to bring Peevy up to the same pay...

This is the email I received from Bmt ISD when I requested their 2018-19 salaries (stipends included)
