    My boys played everything, and we were always lucky enough to make the playoffs in everything - every year.  My question is, what playoffs do you look most forward to?  

    Football was fun because it was getting cooler.  There is always a ton of community support, but i’d say football playoffs were on the bottom of my list.

    Basketball was exciting.  It’s fast-paced, and fun to watch.  Basketball was always big in Evadale, and I still remember our playoff games when I played at Chester.  Fun - yes, but still not my favorite.

    America’s pastime is baseball.  My boy played baseball year-round, and he was in tourneys during both the sports listed above.  When you make the playoffs in football and basketball the venues are not that exciting.  Baseball though was another story.  You get the playoff series, not just one game.  We always played in great venues, and in my opinion - baseball playoffs are the best!!

    Well, there ya go.  What are your thoughts?  Playoffs are here before you know it.  If you still have kids playing - ENJOY IT!  That time of your life, and that season is one that flies by.  Best of luck to all our teams battling for playoff spots.

I've always enjoy baseball playoff. When Trevis was in school and you had real rivals, Silsbee vs WOS , Silsbee vs BC the games were great. Watching all four district teams run into each other in regional quarter finals to see who moved on just great baseball  and atmosphere... But not gonna lie this past year in football was very exciting in Silsbee especially since I had a kid on the field. The fans traveled well and really got behind the Tigers. And beating WOS in the rain.. Just exciting times

      It’s kinda weird…

      That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol.

      End Property Tax At 65?!

      I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.

      They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
