Silsbee "should" beat Nederland but I think per usual it'll be competitive....I expect Nederland to be one of 5A's most improved teams in 2026 they bring a ton back, JV was 8-2 as well

His dad was a stud! He went to college as a Quarterback. I always thought he would have been a MLB player if he would have went that route instead. He hit like 27 homeruns his Senior year! I remember Coach Stone was coaching Orangefield against SFA over at the old baseball field off of 25th st. The pitcher threw one about chest high and Stone told him if you put it there again he is going to put it over the street. The very next pitch went over the street with a moonshot! I asked Stone about 5 years ago if he remembered that and he said like it was yesterday. That was about 31-32 years ago. Chad was a freshman when I was a Senior. Back in the kid days I'd pick Chad on my team before kids 3-4 years older than him. Whether it be football or baseball, Chad was that dude! Really happy for him to get to see his kid do things he use to do. Chad was always very laid back but get him on a field and he made a lot of noise. I always thought he was the best overall high school quarterback until Dustin Long came along. I have some great memories of Chad on the baseball and football field!

He is a honor student, he has the size and speed and a strong accurate arm that makes him a high draft choice.

Hummmm... Make CNN Great Again!

True MAGA’s staying the course!

Reagan?? You were saying.

[Hidden Content] MAGA turns on itself!

I’m so glad you can get more of that hate out of you before turning in. It’s good for the soul.

He’s an idiot. He literally hired a newscaster who had previously achieved the rank of MAJOR in the Army National guard to lead all of the generals in the military, rebranded the department of defense as the department of war, knocked over Venezuela, then stepped in poopoo over in Iraq. “The last five presidents WISHED they’d taken care of Iran, but only Trump was bold enough to do it! MAGA!” No, he was the only one dumb enough to try. it is completely within our first amendment right to call out incompetence in our elected leaders.

Go Dogs! Nice sweep!!

At one point in time, several years ago, the titles would at one point of the seasons they would go to the top of the title page. Football and Volleyball would stay at the top until the football championship games, then the boys and girls basketball would be on top until the basketball championship games, then the baseball and softball would be on top until the baseball championship games. That way the sports that were in season would be easier to get to. Now, would that raise the number of people going to the baseball thread? Maybe, maybe not, but it would be easier to get to and less of a deterrent to get to.

What a rally. Nederland had one hit going into the sixth inning. Nederland rallied for three in the bottom of six and two in the bottom of seven to win it 5-4.

Go dogs.

Slade Shepphard walkoff double. BH 4-5-0 Ned 5-8-0 Nederland is now 10-0 in district

Someone without a better plan should follow the administration that Americans elected to lead us. You post things most of us already know, and repeat your hatred for anything Trump does. Right now, all any of us can do is wait and see.

After 6: BH 4 runs on 5 hits and Nederland 3 runs on 5 hits.

BH 4-5-0 Ned 3-5-0 after 6

I don’t have the answers… but to claim that “we won” when Iran is still firmly in control of Hormuz is just not being honest. And demanding that they open it immediately isn’t going to do the trick, either. We’re not in control of the bargaining on this one, and everybody knows it… Trump, too, at this point. We either come to the table and accept some of their terms, or we’ve got to go the opposite route and do whatever it takes to end them. But I’m afraid we’ll find ourselves fresh out of friends (other than Israel) if we nuke them or start trying to actually take control of the country via land attacks. The damage is this… the Iranians were a bunch of blowhard Islamic radicals who were getting close to having nuclear devices until we tore them up again last year. But they weren’t “days away from having a nuclear weapon” this time. Trump thought he could punch them very hard and they’d quit. In fact, they’ve just been lying on the ropes and letting us blow through munitions, while simultaneously causing economic pain to us and the rest of the world. We’re kind of out of goodwill with most of our allies at this point. It’ll be neat to see what happens if this thing drags on. Trump has been pretty silent since the ceasefire fell apart… my guess is that he’s trying really hard to get Israel to agree to lay off of Lebanon. If Israel won’t agree to stop hostilities, we’ve got to see where we land. It’ll be interesting to see if Trump starts banging on Israel in the next day or so. Unfortunately, even through their military infrastructure is in tatters, Iran has gained a lot of “clout” through all of this. We now know for certain that they can’t be bombed into submission, and that they can, and will shut down Hormuz to get what they want. I see them as strengthened by our attack.

I have some classmates or guys that I went to school with that are current coordinators that would be perfect for this job. One is at West Fork right now that comes to mind but I doubt he'll want it since he played for Shepherd but you never know.

The Houthi’s can—and have—hit ships in the Strait as well.

How would you suggest opening it? You seem to have an answer for everything, or should I say….how not to do it? There are lots of ships passing in the straits. Cargo ships sit high with a minimal draft. Supertankers can be 1200’ long and have a width (beam) of 200+ feet. Their draft can be 80+ feet. These might need center passage to navigate these drafts. They also prefer a mile or two of distance between each other in open seas. Close passage can create a squat effect (attraction) to each other. Ever been fishing in the ship channel and watch a single passing tanker suck all the water away from the bank? These ships can take miles to stop. Can’t take a chance on Iran successfully planting a mine. One sunken tanker could really wreak havoc. I have no answer as to how to open the straits. Trump’s doing what he can with diplomacy, without giving them $billions. A little positivity goes a ling way, but some people don’t possess any.

You’re dreaming, brother. The strait is closed because Iran says it is. There hasn’t been a single US warship even try to make a pass through there because they know that they’d be sitting ducks for Iran’s remaining missiles and drones. We quite simply cannot take control of the strait without owning the ground alongside it, and that would take boots on the ground. It was well known before this excursion was started, but Trump believed that our weapons would scare the Iranians into giving up. It did the opposite. We’re fighting a military was and they’re fighting an economic one. And for reference, you’re abjectly wrong. Our carriers go through the strait of Hormuz anytime they want. That’s what’s so irritating about the sheople eating up the whole “we have air and sea control” when it’s obviously a lie. Send a few frigates up there and see what happens. It’s why every day the White House spokespeople are like “the strait isn’t closed… we’ve got reports that Iran allowed two tankers to pass through yesterday.” So why aren’t we floating around out there opening the thing up? Our navy would get pieced up in the Strait. credit Google Yes, U.S. Navy aircraft carriers routinely transit the Strait of Hormuz to enter and exit the Persian Gulf as part of routine patrols and to project power in the Middle East, often accompanied by carrier strike groups. Notable recent transits include the USS Abraham Lincoln (2019, 2012) and USS Dwight D. Eisenhower(2023).
