Big congratulations to Bellville Head Volleyball Coach Susan Brewer on career win #1306 and becoming the all time wins leader for Texas High School Volleyball. In 50 years of coaching in Bellville she has a resume of 1306 wins 9 State Championships 5 State Runner ups 6 State Semi finalist 20 Regional Championships 26 Regional Appearances 39 won or Co District Championships and still counting!!

It all starts here. Both teams have strong chances to play 16 games. 98 Newton only lost 1 game but still won their championship. Guess who? I could see that happening again this season. Here's to no injuries and giving us a reason to head to At&t a day early again. Good luck to our friends up north the rest of the way.

Silsbee scoring 7 TD's and Lumberton not scoring, I guess one could say........... But I won't.

You know as well as I do that scrimmages are run mostly not like real games. In controlled scrimmages there's no kicking game involved, there is no returning of interceptions or fumbles, no tackling of the QB (so no sacks that would put the down and distance different), plays are limited to a certain number therefore a team could be driving but reach their limit of plays, since no kickoffs ball always starts on the 30, 2nd and 3rd teams play (which in most cases they never see the field in games as an entire unit), the play clock is not used so therefore there are no delay of game penalties, etc. etc. Most importantly, there are no won/loss records that include scrimmages. Now, if all high school scrimmages were run just like NFL preseason games, then I could see where one could claim a win or a loss. Even the NFL doesn't keep up with scrimmages between two teams which happens a lot. Most times two teams that play a preseason game will scrimmage each other a day or so beforehand. There are no scores or wins or losses accounted for in those. Even when high school scrimmages are "game like" they are never 100% game like. Most times there is a running clock and the play clock is not used accurately. Let's be honest, there are just too many variables that come into play or not come into play in controlled scrimmages where a win or loss can be claimed. I think it's find to state that one team "dominated, had the upper hand, put a hurting on, etc." on the other team. Particularly when it's obvious that one team is much better than the other or in some cases the team is much worse than the other. To put a win or a loss in a scrimmage is just not an accurate way to assess a scrimmage in my opinion.

I think if you had true football capitalism it would not go the way you think it would go lol The process is imperfect because its based on human judgement which is imperfect and thats not taking into account the process where humans willfully aren't honest on the forms....BUT based on the rules today that opens the door for circumvention of the rules in place. If I were in charge I'd try to get rid of judgment as much as possible and make it black and white...no more transferring for athletic purposes questions on the form..its residency and residency alone...BUT I'd have more robust compliance arm of the UIL to check into residency questions and not leave that to the schools... The only question is..where do I come up with the money to pay the salaries of this compliance arm

I get out plenty and talk with many people in the coaching industry. I know exactly how wild the DFW area is with the transferring but my point is all these players were ruled eligible by all ruling committees. As for the complaining. My point was the vast majority of it comes from the team who loses to the team accused of cheating. Is it justified? To a point, yes. But knowing who some of you are on here that have posted or liked comments on this thread (including you) and what their school association is, my point has been proven. Like I stated before, policy needs improving.

Your stance on the subject shows just how much you choose to not acknowledge kids are moving into SOC every single year strictly for football and they are being recruited there by SOC coaches. You are making a fool of yourself. But please, carry on.

Mansfield could have checked the box on Udom and a hearing could have been scheduled, but they did not check the box for whatever reason...thats the process as it exists today..... A lot of the kids SOC gets from out of their attendance zone enroll as freshmen..they 365 then they have established residency and are eligible as sophomores

Just because they have open enrollment does not mean a player can play the first year he arrives. Still has to follow UIL transfer guidelines the same as if it were closed enrollment.

Should the UIL require open enrollment schools to play sports in the highest classification? The private schools who elect to play in the UIL are required to play in the highest classification. Houston's Strake Jesuit comes to mind. SJ's enrollment fluctuates between 1,200 and 1,400, but the SJ sports teams must play in 6A. Should the open enrollment schools be treated the same way? Both systems, private education and open enrollment public schools, can cherry pick athletes.

Nope you're listening to the Scott Rich Nederland team who cant finish games

You will still need to post scores in the game threads that will be provided. We will not be using the Bot system that we have used the last few seasons. So for now, no more posting scores with the algorithm that was needed to make it update the game thread title and the scoreboard. We are still trying to work out how we can make the scoreboard automated from folks posting the scores in the individual game threads. That is still a work in progress. At least for the first couple of weeks, the scoreboard may have to be manually updated by one of our site admins or mods. Also, at least for this week, the thread titles for the game threads likely will not show updated scores but just the finals. Please be patient with us as we work to get this as fluid as possible.

I’ll be at all of them, too. Got a kid twirling, plus I’m doing some coaching at HF this year and will be a little more present at sporting events.

Watched United v Channelview. The Twolve's Oline is big and could run block better. The new qb has a arm. Missed on the fades but threw bullets on slant and post plays. Defense pitched a shutout and gave up maybe 2 splash plays. Plenty of good to take from this scrimmage

Are we complaining about officials in a scrimmage? SMH

Definitely "biased". Especially since there is nothing "negative" to say.

Not sure but I think IMG Academy has dormitories for their athletes. It's definitely not for everyone.

Small town kid just didn't adjust well away from home being that young

The key to winning baseball games is pitching, fundamentals, and three run homers -Earl Weaver

I can agree with that last statement. I have stated that the coaches and local DEC's have to do better. The problem with DISD is they have become a "you watch my back and I'll watch yours" district.

In regards to Faith Family, I think that's a case of apples and oranges. Charter schools should never be allowed to play UIL or at least have to play 6A. There is a reason why Faith Family no longer plays UIL. As for the Houston teams, that can be viewed as the same as SOC. But like I said, the complaining still came from the losing team. Personally, I didn't have much issue with Silsbee losing to Yates or Washington (we did beat them more than they beat us). I did have issue with Faith Family. They never belonged in UIL.

I agree with everything bolded. As for the sour grapes, sometimes they're warranted. My team will never lose to SOC in a state final game, so while I have an opinion on the matter, it doesn't affect me the same way it's affected PNG. If I lived there I'm sure I'd be a lot more passionate about the subject. I'm also sure there have been plenty of sour grapes in Silsbee over the last decade when their basketball teams deserving of being state champions have lost out to houston teams or Faith Family because of a broken system. And i personally don't blame anyone from Silsbee a bit if they're still upset. As for SOC, there's a difference between having done no wrong and not having been caught doing wrong. Is it possible that every D1 player that transfers in is doing so on their own with no encouragement or interference from the coaching staff? I suppose it is. But that seems unlikely, and I'm not sure how anyone could be confident saying that it's happening that way.

I've raised this issue multiple times because I believe there are documented and firsthand examples that warrant discussion. Dismissing those examples without examining them doesn't address the underlying concern. One example I personally witnessed was two SOC coaches discussing their quarterback after a state championship loss. One coach remarked, "We ain't winning one with this cat. I hope we get [player] to move in." While a single conversation does not prove systemic wrongdoing, it illustrates the mindset that many believe contributes to the issue. There is information available for those willing to research it. I don't claim to have every piece of evidence compiled, but it's inaccurate to suggest there is no basis for these concerns. At the same time, it's equally unsupported to categorically state that these situations never occur. Both positions require evidence. From my own experiences around these programs, I've spoken with coaches who have expressed frustration over the competitive imbalance they believe exists. The concern extends beyond one school and has been raised in discussions involving programs such as Denton Ryan, Argyle, DeSoto, and South Oak Cliff, among others. Their view is that some schools benefit from player movement in ways that place neighboring programs at a competitive disadvantage. None of my comments are based on rumors or what I wish were true. They are based on firsthand observations, conversations with coaches, and concerns that have been expressed within the Texas high school football community. Those concerns were also reflected in the anonymous coach responses published in the Dave Campbell's Texas Football coaches survey, where coaches openly discussed transfer-related issues and competitive balance.

7-2 win for Houston. Another quality start for an Astro pitcher. Wesneski went 6 IP, giving up 2 runs on 4 hits, 4 K's, 2 BB. Sousa and De Los Santos with 3 shutout innings. Houston has now won 12 of last 14.

[Hidden Content]

Arrighetti was 7-5 with a 4.60 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. 87 K's, 50 BB in 88 innings pitched. Varsho is batting .243 with 7 HR and 26 RBI. OBP is .307, SLG .375, OPS .682 Math tells me we got the short end.

Massey for me is starting to make me feel the same way I think of MaxPreps. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Houston giving up 7 runs against the Yanks and still winning is saying something. NY had the best team ERA in baseball coming into this game.

Saw where PA Memorial/Aldine Nimitz had a 3 quarter live scrimmage. PAM had 3 TD's. Nimitz did not score. Memorial defense was dominant.

I think this first game is "sort of like" a 2nd scrimmage for PNG, figuratively speaking, but saying that Coach J. considers this game a scrimmage is taking it way too far. ALL first games, for all teams, regardless how many scrimmages there were, reveal things that need work, or changes that may need to be made. In PNG's scrimmages it's not uncommon for C. Joseph to run the exact same running play 5 or 6, or more, times in a row, with the same players, for whatever reason. But I'll venture to say that you won't see that happen next Friday night.

Twice. Dubs. 50-15 in 2022 24-7 in 2023

Astros win 3-2. If they continue to win, Houston will win the division and the AL and the World Series.

I’d imagine @89Falcon has a better grasp of the situation than any posting on here…. Just saying

Coldspring traveled to Teague Thursday night to start officially start the Chad Allen era in Trojan nation. The energy Coldspring showed with the new staff was off the chain. Running the spread the offensive schemed looked good with Quivey averaging 4 yards per carry. looks like he may be the leading rusher for the Trojans. They have a battle for the Qb spot and that will be interesting to see how it plays out. Having several receivers that can be play makers I look for the trojans to be able to throw the ball around through the season. On the defensive side of the ball the Trojans looked fair. seemed overall a little small but athletic, The 3/4 front they ran seemed to let the Lions gain few extra yards per carry, but it was the first scrimmage of the season. I am pretty optimistic on the Trojans this year and think it will be a battle for them to make the playoffs and could come down to the final game of the season for the Trojans.

There are no winners in a scrimmage. It’s ludicrous to think otherwise. The rules are different and what could be a touchdown in a game is a whistled dead call in a scrimmage. A scrimmage is a practice against another team and try to work out any issues that it exposes. I suppose that when the team practices on Tuesday afternoon, you would ssy that they won practice! 🤣🤣🤣

People on here do understand. But the vitriol and complaining was towards SOC when it should be directed at UIL and the local DEC.

I am working on the schedules and should have them done this week, I have 6A-3A done so far. 2A and 1A to come.

What evidence of recruiting is out there that the UIL has? If someone has it I'm sure they'd be happy to take it and make an example of someone. If the kids that go there have clean PAPFs the UIL's not going to intervene unless there's evidence of recruiting...the only time I can recall a kid transferring to SOC and there actually being a hearing was the kid from Corsicana who signed with A&M and he was cleared....

That and the fact that Houston didn't score a run when the game was tied 3-3 in bottom of 7th and Astros had runners at 2nd and 3rd with no outs. Another good pitching game gone to waste.

I think what you are pointing to is a system that absolutely has flaws and isnt perfect...the question remains how do you build a system in today's environment where open enrollment and charters exist and you dont punish kids who move legitimately AND would also hold up to inevitable court challenges..

With Hardin out of the way, I believe EC will finish 2nd behind the Orangemen. How many transfers did EC get this year? Good for at least 1 or 2 since 1863.
