Iran wants to make a deal. [Hidden Content]

More good news!

That is about a day and a half’s worth of global consumption. Then what? It ain’t gonna turn on a dime. Russia is selling it like hotcakes now, and that has had no downward pricing effect. Just keep on believing the lyingest cabinet in history.

Look, Trump said it himself: “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot someone and I wouldn’t lose any votes.” There is no red line for MAGA supporters.

To answer the question as far as this website goes as to why the baseball coverage isn't as much as football and basketball, there are two specific reasons, One, our beloved admin Todd Broussard (WOSGrad) is no longer with us. Todd was the man that took care of pretty much everything here at SETXsports. He was the one who posted schedules, game threads, scores and standings for our coverage area teams in all our sports. It was a big loss for us when he passed away in August of 2021. Since then, we have never been able to completely fill his shoes. He was such a special person and we miss him dearly. Second, in the summer of 2022, I decided to retire (in hindsight, semi-retire) from the site. I had told my wife that when she retired as a school teacher, that I would retire with her so that we could spend more time at the beach together. I would no longer do any broadcasting and would take a step back from my admin duties. I told the owner (Jordan Wilson) that he would need to get some other mods to handle those duties. Jordan asked me to stay on for a little while until he could get others to take over. So I did. We had Bigdog and WOSdrummer99 take over the football forum as far as schedules, pickems, scores and standings. They have been a big help in that forum. Jordan went with a bot system to create game threads and the scoreboard thread. I helped when needed. Football forum is in good hands. As for basketball, several of the area basketball coaches were concerned that the basketball forum would die off without me tending to it. So they asked me to stay on and take care of that forum. I talked to Jordan about it and we agreed that I would handle that forum on my own with the understanding that after basketball season was over, I would not handle anything else until football season. I put a lot of love and effort in that forum and many folks have expressed their appreciation. But, those days are numbered as well. I honestly don't know how much longer I'll continue to take care of that forum. One, maybe two more years. We will see. As for the baseball forum, KF89 has done the best that he can with posting schedules and scores. I know how tough it is to try and do it all by oneself. It's really beneficial to have others invested in posting info in the forum. I was hoping other mods or members would help in that regard. A lot of truth has been stated in regards to the popularity of the three sports, particularly on this website. Football is definitely king and always will be. Basketball has always had more traffic on the site than baseball. I admit that part of that is how we (I) cover basketball much more than baseball. But even so, the basketball forum has 100,000 more posts in that forum than the baseball forum. It is what it is. KF89 is doing what he can but until we get others to commit to help out, the baseball forum will lack. Don't ask me, I am about to start my 4 1/2 month vacation from here. lol

Believe me its super frustrating out here on the prairie! Seems to be no willingness to build an attractive program for talent or coaches. I am sure this will be an inside hire from the current staff that is still there.

Buyer beware on the prairie. Its a mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've truly never had a more aggravating conversation in all of sports than this.. because of your ridiculous mentality on the subject. Hey genius... not me or anyone else is saying that Surratt isn't the best high school football coach to have ever done it. Nor is anyone saying that ANY coach could win if they had the right athletes. Nor is anyone saying that athletes started showing up when he got there. What is actually wrong with you to think that's the argument? How are you not understanding that it takes a combination of coaching AND talent? Not every school has talent... not the talent it takes to win a title. NO TALENT AT ALL. You said, "What in his head coaching history would make you think he couldn't?" That's easy.. it's nothing to do with him, personally. It's the literal countless examples of other coaches that are elite according to your own definition... that never sniffed another championship after reaching your level of elite. Even if you only use high school football examples.. which is stupid.. but whatever. Do you honestly think that Tom Westerburg is the only example? He's being used as the example over and over again just because it was a recent situation. Reaching elite status while at Allen, and then never even getting close to Cowboy Stadium again after leaving. That alone should be all the proof you need that not every coach can win a state championship at any school. But.. I'll give you this. Your heels are dug in to your opinion on this.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours UT.

This is what you need to follow for baseball scores, he does a great job.

Sorry to hear that. May God give you strength.

Seems like they basically had a home town guy that wanted to stay a few years, but weren't happy. A school that has relatively very little talent, pays low, and might have some of the worst facilities in 4A/3A might not attract many quality candidates looking to stay pass a year or two max.

Not many parents or family members care to post about games or scores anymore, don't want to post the losing scores of their teams, because too many get their feelings hurt over anything that is not positive or can't handle the facts, most only care about their kids only & don't have the care or time for other baseball stuff. Ashley Elam does a great job on his Fbook page posting scores & other things about baseball & all high school sports.

Prayers for you and your family.

Correct. Attended all 3 games of the UTRGV sweep, so no idea why I stated 2 out of 3. Look at you being sweet with how you started your response to me. You ole' softie!

I can’t imagine… You and your family will be in my prayers.

Nobody is arguing that he’s not elite. He’s an incredible coach, easily argued as the best to ever do it in THSF. But the pieces had to be there for him to put the puzzle together. Warren is a $.50 garage sale puzzle with half the puzzle missing completely and 2/3 of what’s left being from the wrong puzzles. The greatest puzzle master in the world might be able to get the most out of those pieces, but he isn’t completing it.

Sorry to hear, that is always tough when losing a loved one. God will see you through it. Prayers for you and your family.

So if Scott Rich wasn't the right guy who was the right guy?

[email protected] Tom Halliburton’s Track Volume 38, Number 6 As you can see, there’s not much room to write when West Brook’s John Fowler and Memorial’s Jalexis Neal take up all of the space but these athletes earned it. That’s OK. Folks don’t read as much anymore anyway. Fowler and Neal earned photos. Each of these athletes delivered area-best times in two individual events last Friday at the C.E. King Panther Relays. A junior with the Bruins, Fowler won the 1,600 meters and took second in the 800. A sophomore with the Lady Titans, Neal won the 100 meters and took second in the 200. Two other athletes established new individual area-best numbers. Port Arthur’s Brandon Richards was third in the 100 meters in his event with a 10.84. Freshman Meribeth Owens from Beaumont’s Veritas Classical private school became the new area leader in the girls 800 meters. Big meets on the agenda are scheduled for this week.
