I know with Ike, the districts changed to allow games to be played every five days, since most of the schools were effected and unable to play for weeks, but is there a plan in place if a district has one or two teams that are unable to play when district games are supposed to start? I am asking because from what everyone has said and the photos I have seen, I am at wonder if Vidor or PAM will be able to be ready to play next Friday. PAM it sounds like could be longer than just next week. Does anyone know how that would work to accommodate those schools.

I was working on a similar question on another post but I'll just post it here since it is related to what you asked...

Can a school start football practice even though the school hasn't started classes?  The reason I ask is because district play is supposed to start on the 15th but Port Arthur Memorial isn't  scheduled to return to school for 3 to 4 weeks, last I heard.

UIL has said that schools can practice while school is out. I am guessing normal in-school (8 hours) practice instead of 2 a-days, but they can practice. Most schools are voluntary because the players may be in a shelter, with family, or working on cleaning and fixing their house.

Schools are also allowed to scrimmage, which is why Barbers Hill is scrimmaging Monday and then playing a game Friday. Katy and Collins are actually scrimmaging Friday night since both teams are without players due to flooding.

PAM seems like they will be ready to go. Harrison said they are only missing 5 players that are in shelters outside of PA. If volleyball can have games and practice before school even starts, I don't see why football can't do the same

That's what I was thinking.  Volleyball starts way early.

The answer came in part from the coach I was speaking to.  He is from a school that is scheduled to start next Monday.  He is getting grief from the principal and administration about even opening up voluntary workouts.  The reasoning behind the grief is that young men even though they are not compelled to attend, will take "unnecessary" risks in order to attend these workouts or practices.  If something were to happen to one of those young men, either in transit to or during practice, the administration is fearful of the liability it would face given that it has made a decision that the schools are currently not in a condition to attend.

Is that likely to happen? No.  Given sovereign immunity laws would a school district face liability?  Doubtful.  But tell a superintendent or board member that.

I would say Vidor is in much worse shape than PAM. Memorial high school didn't get any water in it. The stadium is fine also. PAISD said it could be up to 3 weeks until school opens, but it could be sooner. 

Remembered that Memorial was on the north side so I knew it should be good, but did not know about the students and coaches. If they can start playing next week that is great. As for Vidor I have not heard or seen much on it, which is understandable all things considered. Did the High School actually flood or did the water just get close to it?

It's actually quite surprising that Memorial HS didn't take in water being that the area used to be marshland AND that the high school parking lot routinely floods even in light rain.  Also, not even 3 blocks away, there was horrible flooding at homes and the elementary school that's also on 9th avenue.  I'm starting to think that the damage was not assessed from the inside, but only from the outside...

Probably PN-G since they are the only ones that have a game this week, with the exception of Baytown Lee.

PAM cancelled their game with Westside, but they are looking for a scrimmage this week. As far as I know Vidor did get water in the school. I know Coach Mathews' house did also, as well as Coach Faircloth. A lot of players and coaches in this area dealing with a lot. Still everyone I've talked to wants to get playing ASAP.

yes they can. Once you get passed the Start date set by the state of texas you can practice as if you are in school. 

 

The bigger issue might be equipment and a place to practice.

So...

PNG good to go - Game vs Sterling

Nederland good to go - Game vs Dayton

PAM good to go - Scrimmage vs Channelview

Livingston good to go - They're scheduled to play Caney Creek, not sure what shape CC is in

Lumberton is scheduled to go back to school on the 11th, but HF can't play this week

Lee is good to go - They're scheduled to play GCM, not sure of the status of that game

Central and Ozen are waiting for water access, and their games have been cancelled

Vidor is dealing w/ substantial damage to their community/school

 

Feel free to correct me as needed, just trying to recap the state of the district.

Pretty much correct.  Although the measures in Beaumont to temporarily fix the water situation seems to have Central and Ozen ready to go.

I imagine we will know more after the DEC meeting that is supposed to take place.

I saw Central practicing at HF this morning and heard Ozen also was practicing there. At least they are getting some practice time in. They are not too far from where the helicopters are loading hay to drop for cattle. 

Haha, I saw a facebook live from Jag Insider which showed one of those big Chinook helicopters landing while Central was practicing.

      Yeah, I got that but talk about a stretch. It should seem obvious that Trump’s prosecution is purely political. If someone is going to do a whataboutism, at least make it similar.  This is so ludicrous that it’s like comparing a ham sandwich to a wallet.

      You consistently try to say Trump ran our debt up and that the stock market and job market cratered during his administration (along with other MSNBC talking points). That is a flat out LIE, and you know it. Not only are you telling a mistruth, you knowingly are telling a mistruth...which is a blatant LIE...which makes you a "(I don't remember what word you used to describe Trump, something like a purse for dirt)" does it not? You know for a fact that the economy, stock market, and job market was thriving under Trump. You know that the Democrats controlled the house, and proposed a budget that would hurt the economy, in which he shut down the government. Even after this fiasco brought on by Democrats, our economy flourished under his administration. Then Covid19 hit, and the blue states shut down the country. YOU KNOW THIS, but continue to blame Trump. You lie...blatantly. Again, what do we call these people that partake in disseminating misleading information. You coined it...that purse thing. Does the shoe fit? I bet it does. It is amazing that you try to put "MAGA people" into this little box for the soul purpose of allowing all negative attributes of anyone that will vote for Trump instead of Biden to be attributed. That is a sickening modus operandi of stupid people. It is hard for me to believe that you would adopt that childish stereotyping. But since you are willing, I'm willing to push back. I'm a Trump supporter. I will gladly vote for him over Biden. So get busy putting me in your silly little box of stereotypes so I can embarrass you some more. You've been shot down by practically everyone on this board when you say stuff like Trump is their Messiah, or that supporters overlook his flaws. Everyone on this board has stated that they don't agree with Trump on much of his behavior, but you ignore these statements and continue with your lies. Oh yeah, since I'm a Trump supporter, those comments were also directed directly at me. So let's go. Prove I'm a simpleton that will ignore all of Trump's flaws and vow to disown the bad ol' orangeman. Let's continue that diatribe you peddle. I now am interested in responding. I also have boxes I can place people in. Whose box is accurate? Better yet, whose box is more embarrassing? I'm fairly certain your box is more entertaining for the board to make fun of. TDS should be included in the DSM-6, or revise the DSM-5 to include it since this phenomenon is so pervasive now. You are a walking, talking picture of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Do you like that box? Can you refute the rationale for placing you in that box. Everyone can refute your rationale for placing them into your irrational box, while you languish in your TDS box.

      Clinton got impeached because of it. David Pecker said it was true about Stormy today. Under oath.

      It’s not about worrying about Trump’s morality. It’s about him being held to a totally hypocritical standard that is applied to anybody else that’s not him. Double it if it happens to be a Democrat. What he did to Ted Cruz in 2016, for example. Accused him of extramarital affairs. Really? And the gang cheered the Master on. Sick is what it is.
