All Activity

G1: Liberty 3 - Calallen 0

They were 6th graders in the last week of school so average age of 12. They were also in the “Preathletics” program rather than a regular PE class so they all intend to participate in athletics in 7th grade and I’m assuming a lot of them for 🏈 which would explain why the kids would push themselves that hard. This guy is a former local HS football stud and one of their football coaches and with summer Strength&Conditioning coming up and then 7th grade ball once school starts I’m sure these kids were telling themselves they had to do it to stay on Coach’s good side for playing time, roster spots, etc.

Assuming this guy is kin to the QB Babin. Curious how that plays out within the situation.

I think it would have to be intentional to be considered child endangerment. It's gone be hard to stick someone with child endangerment for allowing them to participate in an exercise that's been a part of school activities for decades. He could possibly lose his license or never be allowed to coach again just for being seen as unfit or unresponsible but I doubt they can stick him with child endangerment

If Trump is against it........they will be for it........that is guaranteed

People coach/teach the way that they were coached/taught. You see this all the time. The hope is that nothing bad happens while they're hopefully learning. Coaches have to swallow some pride and study up on what actually gets kids better and weed through the nonsense. For example, doing bear crawls to exhaustion/injury, or doing work simply because it's hard and will make kids really tired.

Well, it has progressed past protesting. An innocent Jewish couple has been murdered. Notice how this term is never used by the media. They say “shot and killed” instead. I hope you Palestinian bleeding hearts are proud. You have blood on your hands. Remember, Hitler was the biggest antisemite ever. [Hidden Content]

“Child Endangerment” would be one potential charge.

What exactly would they charge him with?

this is from the news article: "It's a complete disregard for common sense," McCulley tells KFDM. "12 to 14 parents have raised complaints. These are burns. We'll try to determine the average temperature of the track. We're gathering facts, medical information, taking statements. We understand one coach objected to what was happening. We'd like to talk with both coaches. The information is coming in fast. We expect to meet with District Attorney Lucas Babin as early as Wednesday. He would decide whether to take it to a grand jury for possible criminal charges."

May have been part of the deal. I know if I am Brown I would want them to stay.

Brookeland 8 Avalon 2 Final (Brookeland leads series 1-0)

They were 11-12 year olds. Not anywhere near adults yet but I would think old enough to forfeit an activity causing bodily harm. I would think they would have a better idea if the ground was burning the skin off their hand than he did.

How old the kids were is gonna be a big issue,if they were high school then I could see “opting out…not elementary kids

Would they really say anything else if they wanted to keep their jobs. . Lol

I don't see how that would go far if he didn't personally inflict injuries on them. From what I hear it was an optional workout and some kids opted out with no consequences.

Saw where they are trying to file felony charges on him.

Still waiting lol!

Astros win a couple and lose a couple. Some days pitching is good but poor offense. Some days offense is good but pitching is bad. Sometimes both are ok. As of today 5-21-25 they are an average team Meyers, Pena, 3rd baseball are hitting pretty good Main problem is they can’t find a catcher, 1st baseman, 2nd baseman, and DH that can hit. As of today Alvarez is a big disappointment as well as the 1st and 2nd baseman they aquired Hopefully they will get it going

Brown was due for a stinker game.

3 dingers still lose 8-4. Pitching not too good today. Paredes 2 dingers 6 last 9 games.

Understood. Most people around town who know him don't believe he intentionally wanted to harm the kids. He's just a guy who's passionate about the game and the program and kids and values toughness because that's what was taught to him in the program. He just went too far this time and I don't think he was aware of the harm it was causing the kids at the time. Lot of folks will say he "should've known" and I don't disagree with that but we've all probably had moments where we weren't aware of things we "should've known".

I watched a number of his games when he coached at Kirbyville and then watched a few of his games when he coached at Anahuac. When I interviewed him and watched those games I always thought he was a very promising young coach and an outstanding young man. I believed Coach Neace first hired him in Kirbyville before he left for Newton. When he became athletic director in Anahuac he immediately called for Mr. Brown. He is a little different type of coach from Joe Sigler but I bet everyone is pleasantly surprised with his results.

Never want to be in the news. Especially with injuries to young kids. Going to be difficult to recover professionally (at least in education).
