I think it boils down to this, there are sorry people in this world regardless of what they look like. There is hate in this world regardless of what the person looks like. There is racism in this world and, like it or not, there always will be. In both of these scenarios listed above there were sorry people with hate in their heart. And quite possibly, both scenarios could have racism involved but we will never know and we can't prove it.

Out of pocket supporting the medical community yesterday. Enjoyed catching up, reading these literary masterpieces. I feel sorry for those that think Tolkien, Dickens, Christie or Huxley are the ones to be admired, while SETXSPORTS has a plethora of literary genius. Only problem I had, with all the cuts & chops, I wasn’t sure if we were talking football or how to run a butcher shop. One thing for sure, I hope neither team suffers any injuries. Everyone will need all hands on deck against District 9. Continue on gentlemen. 😄

They don’t want to watch their own team play or do they just want to watch Vidor dominate a team they are rooting for again? Seems like we’ve picked up some haters along the way, must be doing something right. Even if the Pirates win LCM gets a share of the DC and goes in as the 2 seed. I figured they would be happy either way, maybe they just want to see us fall to #4 again but it’s understandable after we beat em pretty bad.

Stealing this thread idea from the 6A forum.

Go Vidor take it to them 🏈

United doesn’t need Sterling to do anything, if they beat Goose Creek then they finish 3rd in district.

This topic has spun way off of the PAISD mask mandate but as long as we are talking religion in school…. I have see opinions repeated several times that when they removed prayer from schools, our problems started. If your child is waiting to get to school to find prayer, your problems started way before that. I don’t understand how you can be a Christian or any other faith and be a true believer but when you get to school, if they don’t lead you in prayer, you have somehow lost the faith. “I am 18 years old and have been a Christian and been baptized into my church but my teacher did not lead me in prayer today so I am now at atheist”? No……. As far as prayer in school, the Supreme Court has never outlawed prayer at public schools as claimed by some people. That is a myth. What they have banned was the government leading the prayer. One of the big cases in religious history was from the Wisconsin Supreme Court. It originally had no bearing on the rest of the country but it was cited by the United States Supreme Court later. In that case it was Christian versus Christian. The school led prayer from the King James Bible but Catholic parents protesting because the Catholic Bible was not allowed. Therein lies the problem with the government, a public school district, determining what you hear. It was an atheist against Christians, it was them against themselves. In another case a Jewish parent brought suit. The children were told to put their hands together in prayer at the beginning of a class. The father who brought the suit said he had no problem with the Christian faith and their praying and he believes in prayer also. His complaint was that in the Jewish faith they don’t put their hands together to pray. Maybe they cannot force his son to place at hands together but that would make him an outcast an open to ridicule because the government has now determined what prayers they would say. But by Supreme Court rulings, can students pray at school? Certainly. They can pray privately or they can meet in non-classroom time in groups and pray. Being on school property has no bearing. The prayer cannot be led, encouraged nor discouraged by the school. Some schools have wrongfully attempted to stop such prayer and the Supreme Court has upheld that right to pray at school. The popular way at one time of doing so was meet at the flagpole. If there were students who wished to pray, they got together before or after class. Schools cannot restrict religious writings at school such as an essay in class. Some schools mistakenly believe(d) that if you write anything religious in a class assignment it is unconstitutional but that has been ruled incorrect. If the assignment in English class is to write an essay on McBeth, then the essay would have to be on that topic. If the essay was for example on anything that interests you, the school would be violating a student’s rights by restricting religious speech in such an essay. So prayer is not forbidden at school, it is not forbidden in essays if that fits the topic at hand and it is not forbidden on school property. In fact to try to restrict it would be unconstitutional. Supreme Court has said that a moment of silence in school is allowed but again prayer cannot be led and neither encouraged nor discouraged by the school. The only issue is when the government tells you which prayers you will say or listen to.

I impress myself by using proper legal jargon. 🙂

Love the tweet by LHS Student Section 2021-2022 @LHSstusec "Since the game this week is in Vidor we've decided to do a theme. dress like the other team (white trash)!! MAKE SURE YOU'RE DRESSED APPROPRIATE!" @coachJamesReyes says "we need everyone at vidor" be there or be square. see you there!!!" Tweet has been deleted but not before screenshots!!

Our great country is based on the constitution. The problem is over the years the constitution has been warped depending on the interpretation of the sitting SC justices at the the time. Our country's downfall and potential demise is allowing the constitution to trump the word of God.

I wouldn’t just give Marshall a win against Rudder. It will be Rudder’s first playoff appearance but they are pretty solid. The teams in District 10 are all pretty good. There are no easy wins, so they should be ready.

Defense is what win champions and that’s my concern for this game. I went back and watched the 1st half of the TC/ PNG game and TC’s defense was on fire! BH cannot turn the ball over this game if they want to win.

No. West coast offense.

One round at a time guys. We still have district play left.

Yea probably be 3rd regardless of who wins this game but an LCM loss would give the Vidor vs Lumberton winner the outright DC title… interesting. 🤔 Dare I say ‘Go Splendora!’ lol.

It is but now we have boys being allowed in girls bathrooms and boys wrestling girls on the mat. christian prayers aren’t harmful….PERIOD laws are laws but look where we are at…..now fast forward15 20 25 years from now where will we be?

The new Republican Lt. Governor of Virginia.

Not going to be able to make the 3 minute drive to GCM tonight. Grand baby #2 was born today. I will have to catch RSS in Rd 2.

Which teams are coming into the season with the best defenses?

McAuliffe is behind but wait till 3 a.m. and he ll be ahead by a large margin

As I am getting older I was getting concerned about my memory. It seams like I am forgetting more and more easily distracted. Then I came to realize that I have probably been like this my whole life. I am just getting sharper and more aware as I get older. I just wasn’t as alert or aware of my shortcomings when I was younger. I’m actually getting better with age. With age comes wisdom. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

That is almost the exact score and was the situation last season but in reverse with Vidor dominating Lumberton. I expect similar results this year, until Ltown proves to me otherwise. They just haven't had the size or physicality to match up with the Pirates in the past. I know they have turned it around somewhat but that would be one hell of a drastic turnaround to make a 60 point swing from last years performance. Vidor has improved a lot from last season also and might just have a better team than you're expecting with that blowout pull the starters prediction.

There’s no doubt that whichever 11 Pirates on the field they’ll be giving it 110%. It may not be enough but they’re game.

You picked a heckuva thread to start on. Herein lies the pinnacle of man’s evolution. The wisdom of ages. And,the biggest bunch of 🐂💩you’ll find anywhere. God bless’em all. 😂😂🤣😂😂

I had to comment just for title of this thread. 10/10 😂

No, I put a lot of stock in the Constitution because I believe it. There are plenty of laws that I completely disagree with and have no faith in whatsoever.

What does religion have to do with manners in school? When did we abdicate teaching children manners or discipline to a public school district? None of that is forced in any case. You do not have to send your child to a public school. In fact you don’t have to send him to school at all but the government does require attempted learning even at home. Apparently some people have a very difficult time understanding constitutional rights with laws that have nothing to do with rights. I mean by your argument, we should be able to drive 120 miles an hour do a residential neighborhood because of freedom. That is nonsensical. The freedoms that I am talking about all the freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States. None of your comment has anything to do with that.

I hate the word “fair”. In order to be fair to someone, you have to screw the heck out of someone else. We had Bible class as an “elective” when I was in high school. Go figure.

Amen and amen Before long every and any lifestyle will have man made rights that clearly goes against the Almighty. We have seen the problems it has caused. We ll see how that works out for them….

GO PIRATES!!!! JUST WIN, THEN ALL THE SPECULATION IS MOOT!! GO ☠

Defensive keys to the game: force turnovers get key stops Stop the other team from scoring

Youngkin doesn’t matter. He will not run in 2024 but that is not the issue here. What should have been an easy Democrat victory was a loss. Midterms are not usually kind to the party in power in the White House. In Obama‘s first midterm, he lost 63 seats in House. If only five seats flip in 2022, Pelosi will be sent out to pasture. Heck, we might even see Joe Biden get impeached if he is still in office by them. Anybody that thinks this is about Youngkin Is deflecting the issue. Biden carried Virginia by 10 percentage points. He has been in office approximately nine months and Virginia has now gone Republican in the governor, lieutenant governor and Attorney General. Youngkin?

Another thread sidetracked by troll boy.

Their rushing attack is legit in HISD but they run a spread and their qb only has 365 passing yards on the year with a 1/1 TD-INT ratio. If you're not at least a threat to throw it in that style offense then Crosby is going to tee off on that run game. I doubt Madison scores while the starters are in and wouldn't at all be surprised if we did them like we did FB Willowridge in the first round last year.

Just a bunch of fans here. We can look ahead. I mean look at the title of this thread lol. Aledo: Hillcrest, Royse City, #6 South Oak Cliff, #2 Lovejoy, #5 Lubbock Cooper, #3 Fort Bend Marshall.

Crosby is well know for making every unrelated thread about themselves, that, and as you just proved yet again, BH in your head 24/7/365! LOL!

Big Talk for a team that lost to Baytown Lee.

Continued prayers and strength for this young man, his family and friends. Prayers for wisdom for medical staff.

Update for Ben Featherston from his sister’s Facebook page last night: 11/1/2021 “Thank you for your prayers. They are working! Ben is out of surgery and the amputations occurred without any complications. Even better, once the legs were closed his blood pressure immediately improved and they were able to reduce medications to keep his blood pressure regulated. Both legs were amputated just above his knees. Although just in the hours post-surgery, Ben still has a long road ahead but we are cautiously optimistic as we can now say we are looking forward to Ben's recovery & rehabilitation. Thank you for your continued love, support, & prayers.. it'sworking and we are so thankful!”

Madison is locked into 4th seed for 11.

Brisbane- 5/15-88-1TD, 1 int Miller-2/14 rushing 2/42 receptions Martin- 23/176 rushing 4 TD Williams-10/91 Rushing 1 TD 1/22 reception 1 TD

Just too funny not to steal.

I met one Mustang that thinks yes.

TBF - This is something you should be trying to do with that offense. Liberty Hill did it on every play until they got flagged for it. then waited couple plays and started doing it again. Sometimes it is an actual penalty other times it is the o-line knowing to wait 1 Mississippi after the snap to move. ball snapped quick everyone else moves, line starts moving .5s later and defensive line wasn't watching the ball just the guy in front of them. That's why you have to be so disciplined against that offense. They can change the pace on your over and over, fast then slow, then fast and not just the play development but also the snap pace, the amount of time under center can all change based on the time of game, formation advantages, and reads by the qb. This is the Db coaches telling players to grab jersey on the players side to stay locked into them. They do it until they get flagged but if they don't get flagged for a game why would they stop doing it. Also, same as offenses that hold on the interior on purpose until they get a penalty called. Same stuff different strategy. All those things are fouls but if they don't get called give you an extra advantage, so coaches do them until they get called. Surely someone who idolize Ole Bill wouldn't shy from a little rule bending to win.

I've been impressed by the patients the OC or whomever is calling plays so we can nickel and dime you to death too. Helps the defense get rest

If we really found our offense, we should win handily. One game doesn't really prove that, though...

Bottom line...We beat ya'll. By 10, at the Rez when it counted. Better luck next year, Dude.....

Looking forward to a good game. I like our chances. My son has good Pirate friends he will be battling against. Prayers for an injury free game so both teams can go into the 1st round and represent no matter where either wind up seeding.

20-16 COWBOYS!!! Big win with a backup QB.

Luck is when you win the lottery- going all the way to State against more than formidable competition is anything besides luck -
