I don't know. According to the peanut gallery, MH has inside info that will provide them the win. 😉

While I would have liked to see them score a TD and make it a closer game, what a great and fun season for those boys. They brought some life and Cardinal spirit the likes of which Larry Ward stadium hasn’t seen in years! What a fun ride it’s been! It’s a great day to be a Cardinal!

Word I received is that Bailey will not play against Ennis but is hopeful to play in 3rd round. I have been told the extent of his injuries but that doesn't need to be publicized here. That's for his family and school to announce.

Thank you for your Commitment , Bravery , and Sacrifice for our country!!!! America would not be what it is without you.

Congrats to our regular season winner @One4All Thanks to everyone for playing and making it another fun competition. It's not over yet though. There's still 2 chances for bragging rights with both playoffs and overall season winners to be determined. We'll have to prepare fast and be ready for EARLY LOCK TIMES now that we move into playoff mode. Good luck here and on the field the rest of the way. Safe travels my friends.

Don’t know him but have heard this from multiple sources I know and trust. Now stop trying to lend sanity and reason to this otherwise trainwreck of a thread. P.S. to mods - can we lift Cardinal Backer’s suspension for this thread only? I feel like he was made for this thread.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. 😎

UMMM...not really because the UIL put: West Orange, Silsbee, Hamshire-Fannett, Jasper, Shepherd, and Tarkington in front of you and you opted up. Sorry, just the truth.

no probably to it, and the tigers absolutely deserved that hardware. It's one thing to run into a team that's better than you, another thing entirely to be a town of less than 7,000 people and run into an AAU team recruiting from 13 districts and millions of people.

Timberwolves 27 Marlins 19 Final...

Grateful for all who served and continue to serve. We honor you today, and everyday!

Happy Veterans Day to my fellow Vets 💪🏾

Always a big fan of the purple Indians - well coached and talented team. Sophomore backup is not a QB he will be back at WR next season. Coaches son will be back at the helm along with #.33 freshmen RB . I wasn't completely disappointed in the loss I thought our coach did a great job of game management with a brand new back field. I don't support some of his sideline antics but that's above my paygrade. GO INDIANS !

My two cents re: ArmbandGate. There may not be evidence that stealing the armband (That’s what it was. The instant he intentionally did not return the armband to its rightful owner while knowing it wasn’t his to keep, it became a theft) helped LCM win the game, but it’s evidence that at least one LCM coach (1) stole from another team, (2) lied when he had an obligation to tell the truth, and (3) took steps to cover up his theft even while direct inquiries were being made to him about the armband’s location and what he did with it. That has to be punished. If an attorney did something like this in a trial he might be disbarred. And, the team should have had to forfeit the game. Letting LCM skate on this invites exactly the message people are making here today, that “it must not have been that big of a deal if it didn’t warrant a forfeit.” It’s very much a big deal, an astonishing example of bad faith and dishonesty from a public employee in charge of children. It was a blatant violation of sportsmanship, human decency, and the law. Most of us will remember that in 2018 PNG had to forfeit a game they won against Crosby under less severe circumstances. A coach had an iPad in the press box - Against the rules. So, even though it was agreed by the district members that there had been no effect on the game’s outcome, PNG was forced to forfeit. There was no lying, or hiding evidence by PNG as there was by LCM - it was simply, “You broke a rule and we have to send a message.” LCM broke the rules, and the district should have sent a stronger message.

I assume they want their $500 watch back

The ignorance from this ordeal is laughable. It's a lot of LCM support or justification of obvious cheating. Did it completely dictate the result of the game? No. Did it play a role in the result of the game? Yes. Understanding tendencies or deciphering hand signals is gamesmanship, but having your hands on electronics your opponent uses to relay plays is full blown cheating. Both of these teams are good and based off the second half score it's a one possession game that could have gone either way. Player discovers opponents wrist band and then brings it to his coach. Coach gives the wrist band to the ref and it is returned to the team it belongs to and you play ball. It's that simple of a scenario that could have happened but when nobody was looking the wrong decision was made to gain a competitive advantage.

You are a joke. The LCM coach had zero integrity. Your analogy makes zero sense.

Here are the details that I know. In the LC-M/BC game of two weeks ago an incident happened at the beginning of the game that caused BC to raise questions. BC has electronic wristbands for their offensive play calling. The offensive players wear these "watches" and the offensive co. gives the play call from his tablet to these watches. This is the first year that UIL has allowed teams to use these devices. BC and a couple of other area teams use these devices. I hear they are pretty expensive. But that's here nor there. At the beginning of the game (opening kickoff) an LC-M player found one of these "watches" and instead of giving it to a game official (which in NCAA rules, you are required to) he gave it to one of his coaches. The coach never gave it to an official. It was shown on game film the coach being handed the "watch". It was also shown on game film during the game that this coach, who is an offensive coach, stayed very close to the defensive co. all during the first half. BC did not learn of the watch missing until right before halftime. They asked for it back. But it is not the responsibility of game officials to ask the opponent for it. School admins, coaches have to get involved. TASO has no say so in the matter. They are only responsible when given the device to get it back to rightful team. BC even had coaches and admins search LC-M sidelines during halftime to look for watch. There is also no in game penalty to access the team who confiscated the device. LC-M claimed they did not have the device and has yet to turn it over. But video evidence shows otherwise. What the video doesn't prove if the coach or coaches were able to use the device to their advantage. But the halftime score was 17-0 in favor of LC-M. BC stopped using their devices in 2nd half. Final score was 24-16, LC-M. A meeting today of the district supts. to discuss this issue and vote on a possible forfeiture or reprimands. The vote was 3-3. So no forfeiture. This is definitely an ethics situation and not necessarily a rules violation. DEC and UIL would have to govern and determine what type action. IMO, it's a black eye on all involved but like I stated earlier, should not warrant a forfeiture of game.

I still think open enrollment schools should be forced to play at the 6A level. It’s never been an even playing field but apparently the UIL doesn’t care

Coming from a guy whose team has been done for 4 weeks

PN-G doesn't look past anybody. The preparation for the opponent each week is evident on the field and the scoreboard.

It was said 20 times on the Ennis game broadcast. CB was in a brace. You think SOC didnt have coaches there scouting? There is no secret. And yes, Fight Club was a figment of the dudes imagination, just like any opponent gaining a competitive advantage from a message board is yours. Telling people to STFU is the wrong way to get good conversation going.

No game will ever be affected by anything said here. No team is getting their game-winning intelligence by trolling fan sites.

Andddddd…. congrats to coach H on the victory,they worked their butts off this week and it showed.Thanksgiving football in West Orange!!

If everything holds up looks like I’m headed to Deer Park to watch PAM get a W pregame at Jimmy Changas right down the road on Center street. After the game driving to family house in Katy waking up and headed to Austin to watch Texas vs Arkansas game. Pulled Pork, Pork Ribs, and Pork steaks at the tailgate. Dinner TBD… Sunday waking up getting in line for Terry Black’s BBQ.

I wanna rollout to see THAT one, but Port Arthur Memorial got business to handle in Deer country.

You stop talking in 3rd person and we will show some respect. I sent you a message asking you not to do that.

"If we cheated in this game, we would have self-reported"😂

So is it true or not true that the LCM coaching staff went to a Chauncey Billups coaching clinic this past summer?

I’d like it to go on record that the yahoos on this thread spewing nonsense and trying to change the subject make up what is a (very) loud minority of LCM folks. I’ve known Hunter a long time and consider him a friend. Looks like he made a mistake in the heat of battle and will have to live with the consequences. Unfortunate situation all around.

The defensive coordinator never signals the defense until after the BC players look at their watches.

Or just the game to be played the right way....

I will say I think Coach Williams has done an outstanding job at United this year....and that sentiment has been given to me by multiple head coaches in the district unprompted

UIL is unpredictable. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Map comprehension isn't their thing sometimes.

Well… our kids are gonna pile onto a couple of buses and head over to New Caney. When they get there, they’re gonna put on the red and white, bite down on their mouthpieces, and get after Kilgore for 48 minutes. It’s a game that nobody expects BC to win…. Heck, most people are predicting a blowout. But I don’t think so. It’s a chance to see how we stack up against the best- if you ask me, this is the true state championship game. Whoever wins this one should have a cakewalk on through to Jerry World.

Shenandoah is just a dot inside of the Woodlands. No one says Hey lets go to Shenandoah.

Thompson and Hooks are both hall of fame coaches,Hickman is at best a mediocre coach..that may change and when it does I’ll be the first to congratulate him…until then stop comparing them because there is no comparison.You do know he wasn’t even qualified for the job,the crooked superintendent had to change some stuff up to get him in..that’s politics that shouldn’t be in schools but it is and it’s disgusting for taxpayers and that would be me,do you still live here and involved in some of this mess?

What did you say?

I would guess a lot of teams did what BC did last night. What Desoto did by winning state is amazing. They won 6a championship with 5a numbers. All BC did was beat a 4th seed in rd 1 in 4a

Thanks Mr. Garrity for your service,

Also want to say this: not everyone is cut out to be a Head Coach. Some people can be one of the best coordinators you've ever seen, but they get a Head Coach role and things roll downhill. Some folks are better suited for a coordinator position 🤷🏾‍♂️ just my opinion. Also coaching in your hometown isn't always the best thing. 😉

Football gods fixed it tonight. Congrats BC. Now come play us next season so we can get back some OC games

LCM needs Lumberton’s watch

If they wouldn't do that, why is there so much evidence that they did that? (asking for a friend)

No body said it is”clearly “ the only reason LCM won…but it was clearly used to gain a competitive edge and that means cheating and not being the role model these kids look up to!

1a would be full

This is a crazy question. But it depends on who you ask. The casual Beaumont person that you’ll find in barber shops, restaurants, ect, absolutely. Fans and people actively involved with the boosters and stuff…. Absolutely. The students at the respective schools? Yes. Administration is another story. Both at the school level and the district level. School level, with the growing problem of low test scores. The schools are having to place the big sport like football on the back burner and focus on academics. This means low quality football coaches, due to inadequate salaries and resources. And that’s just the school level admin. The district level admin seem to ONLY be focused on basketball. Football takes a back seat. You can clearly see this when one of those coaching jobs come open. Seems to be quality hires every time. Just one guy’s thoughts on it.

I agree......And the elephant in the room, " Nederland is YOUNG'' is really true. Rich is in a tough spot as his measuring stick is the guy across the tracks. The dogs need coordinators, let's see if this happens.
