Congrats to him on an important win. I never said anyone sucks, but let's not get overinflated about a win over the 3rd best team in district, either.

last night was one of them games we couldn't get anything to fall, but what we did do was play defense, Reb and run. I told everybody give us a month to get our boys in some type of basketball shape and we gone run everybody out the gym. from our district to Houston and the metroplex. wait till we actually start knocking down them wide open 3"s. the body language is totally different now. our boys Finna go on a mean run. you can book the hotels now if you want too. we win out!

This thread reminds me of the Colmesneil people arguing about if the S is silent or pronounced.

Silsbee is really so far head and shoulders above the rest of the teams in the area that you can look at a 25 point loss and be like "Jasper held them pretty good."

Are you saying that HJ wins because of talent, but Lumberton wins (well, sorta) because of exceptional coaching?

Are we sure this is not the real Stephen A, has some of the same levels of hot takes lol

To get better! learn how to win big games. Not just coast on talent. You know. Heck they could even go talk to Colby Richards. You know him right? set that up for me on your off period.

My name isnt Josh but once I found out that you were a MOD and you bash coaches on here I couldnt believe it. Hopefully you are more professional at work than you are on here.

I'm just wondering, if Joseph stays at PNG for 6 more years and they never win a state championship, will it be time to fire him?

Funny he mentioned InMagaweTrust when you didn’t.

Na

They won't have problems selling out The Pit as long as Pitino can build something sustainable here. UNM has always been a basketball school, but times had been tough for a while since Alford left for UCLA. He really had it going the first few years after I got here (2011). The Lobos were briefly in the top 10 at one point and a #3 seed in the tournament. There's no reason that UNM can't be the marquee mid-major program in the West. Gonzaga doesn't count. LOL

Connell from Buna too. Those are the top 3. Regusa, Sells, Connell in no particular order

Jasper just quit on that Harris dunk

and use it to build a border wall. Suits me fine. The U. N. needs to headquarter elsewhere anyway. Freedom Caucus bill takes billions from UN to finish the US border wall [Hidden Content] Explore the Fox News apps that are right for you at [Hidden Content].

Big congrats to United’s Wesley Yates on his nomination to the McDonald’s All American game. So well deserved and couldn’t happen to a better young man. We are all proud of you!

She has to hate her job!!

White House Press Secretary having a tough time putting a spin on it, lol [Hidden Content] Can you imagine trying to come up with daily excuses for this pathetic administration? Gotta be the toughest job in the world.

[Hidden Content] From the article: President Biden aides have found at least one more batch of classified documents located at a location other than the Penn Biden Center office in Washington, D.C. that he used in the years after he was vice president during the Obama administration, Fox News has confirmed. A source told NBC News, which first reported the development, that aides to Biden have been searching for additional documents that contained classified material in other locations that may have been used by the president.

Stoves don't kill people, people kill people.

To all the people defending Biden and playing the “I know you are but what am I” game, remember Biden knew about, and probably pushed the raid on Mar-a-Lago. Trump was investigated every day of his presidency and nothing has come to fruition…..nothing! But we have those on here who think Biden is squeaky clean? What really kills me is that you all really know better but turn the blind eye and deaf ear.

Colm-uh-kneel

So anyway, back to the game. This much needed win for the Raiders puts some added importance to their next two games against BC and Vidor. Sweep those and they're in a good spot to make a run at the playoffs. Split them and they're still plenty alive. Get swept and they're in trouble. The middle of this district is certainly a lot more interesting than the top right now. I'm also curious to see if LCM can right the ship. It really did seem like a foregone conclusion for most that LCM was going to easily finish top-3 in this district. I still expect that, but they're going to have to figure some stuff out.

I don't feel bad at all. Hey, upsets happen. But I will put my success of picking local high school basketball games with anyone on this site. But Hoops, you already know this so I am preaching to the choir.

Great win Silsbee Tigers..! 20+ win I" don't have anything bad to say about yall young men. I" wacth and thought it was a great game. Keep doing what your doing. #FI9HT #TigerNation

I found this quote funny about this committee, McGovern is a democrat from Mass......... “It’s simply about revenge, it’s about disrupting and destroying, rather than collaborating and creating,” McGovern said Tuesday. That is exactly what the Jan. 6th committee was about. There was no collaborating and creating then. It was simply about smearing Trump. If it were a serious committee why were there only 2 repubs on the panel (and they were both anti-Trumpers). Jim Jordan was told he was not allowed on the committee by Adam Schiff, which by the rules is all on the up and up I guess. No cross examination of the facts was allowed by any person the committee was going after. The hearings were in the basement and no one allowed to attend. Now that the shoe is on the other foot it is not ok for those same rules to be applied. I think this is going to get interesting.

Or Kountze?..

Not the first game I have picked wrong and certainly will not be the last. But I'm okay with my picks.

Yes LCM is loaded. Alantheon Winn, Noah Fuller, Damarion Morris and Ty Blackmon all can play and score. They just are not playing to their strengths right now IMO. Seems they play better pushing and opening up the floor finding matchups. Right now there is a lot of plauer movement and motion inside clogging up things for Elliott and teams are not having to do much to defend it. Elliott is a great player but the other weapons are under utilized IMO right now. These guys should be definitely competing higher level. Coach J will fix it .out definitely.

🤣🤣 I’ve seen him play. The kid is really good. He’s no where near the best guard in the district though. Certainly not top 3 and possibly not top 5. He’s gonna be good for sure. That’s not a knock on him.

Absolutely. And you would be correct on the hoops. Especially college. I have loved it since I was a kid watching the Big East on ESPN when it was a fledgling network (Ewing, Mullin, etc.). Now it is heaven for us junkies.

My comment will fly over others heads. 😉

Couldn’t agree more

Not surprised. Glad we beat English. Notice what I said.

They'll be in the tweet later

I think there invisible.

Yeah, even for trivia, that is trivial.

Final 62-48 EC

P.A.- 40 Ned- 38 Final

My opinion is that the last shots (and especially the last one) was completely unnecessary, making it illegal. The penal code uses the phrase, “immediately necessary” to justify force or deadly force. In other words, had the threat ended? Reaction time is such that even if the threat ended, a person may fire a couple more shots before the cease firing reaction is transmitted to the finger that is pulling the trigger. When we learned driving in driver’s ed, most of us learned that there is a 1/2 to a 3/4 second reaction time before hitting the brakes. Even if you see something ahead such as a child running into the road, there will be a lag time before that is transmitted to you hitting the brake. Your eye saw the child instantly because of the speed of light but by time your brain processes it and sent the message/nerve impulse to your feet, you will travel a distance. I believe it is the same thing with shooting. While it may be easy to see a person going down, when you were pulling the trigger at 3 to 5 times a second, it will take a couple of shots before you stop shooting even if your eyes perceived the threat ending. In a case like this, I understand a person pulling the trigger multiple times in a second or two. The people online that claimed it should’ve been one or two shots probably have no clue what they’re talking about. Using an electronic timer, about five years ago an officer was testing me on shooting skills. It was about 20 feet away and it all had to be head shots on target, not simply center mass. I could not start shooting until I got the audible beep from the timer and I could not be pointing at the target already. After the beep I had to the move the pistol on target and make the shots in the very small aiming point. The entire time was 2.3 seconds from the beep to the last shot. Counting the actual lag time between me hearing the beep and then having to move my hands into the shooting position, the five hits in the head size target was probably about 1 1/2 seconds. That is having to shoot a bit slower to try to make sure the pistol was on target. The only point of that is, when shooting that fast and if it was a real human trying to hurt someone, I believe it would be extremely hard to stop shooting the moment the threat ends. With that in mind, what appeared to me was that the shooter put multiple shots on the guy for a couple of of away and he went down. It looks like he dropped the gun and was no longer a threat. I have no issue at all with the number of rows fired while the guy was standing. But there was lag time with the shooter to perceive what was happening because he then got out of his chair and moved over to the now what appeared to be down and out of the fight robber. It looked like the shooter pumped a couple of rounds into him and that time. Even after that, it was a very obvious lag time and it looked like the shooter then made a final kill shot, probably to the head. Was that "immediately necessary"? The two shots after the shooter moved in on the guy and shot him in the back while he was faced down (and I think dropped the gun behind him) was questionable but then with the pause and what appeared to be a headshot, was almost certainly not necessary. In my opinion, the way, the Penal Code is worded, questionable actions are in the favor of the shooter going by the Penal Code definition of a defense to prosecution. The final shot however I did not appear to be questionable. It seemed clearly unnecessary. BUT…. will it cause an indictment? Part of me says absolutely not and part of me says absolutely yes. The shooter under Texas law, and in my opinion, had the right to use the deadly forcethat likely killed the robber. Even if the last shot was unnecessary, can you kill a dead person? If the autopsy shows that he would have died within a few seconds regardless of the last three shots, would it, then be unlawful? I don’t have a clue. Probably not but who knows how the DA will present the case? There is that old saying in Texas, some people just need killin’. So after that long winded reasoning, I don’t have a clue but I would probably lean toward a no-bill.

Ok liar, still no source... your opinion has zero credibility with me! You post one Twitter post (biggest Twitter nerd 🤓 on here) and claim you were being generous about 80% lol... liar! You claim one can have classified documents and one can't, yet you can't source it..... liar Keep crawfishing 🤡

Freshmen- Langston Adams Jr.- Kelly has had some nice games this year. 27 pts. vs. E.C. 28 pts. vs. Nederland 23 pts vs. PNG 30 pts. vs. Kirbyville 28 pts. vs. Jasper 20 pts. 5 assists vs. O.F. 30 pts. 6 steals, 4 assists vs. Goodrich 32 pts. vs. Ft. Bend Christian 25 pts., 9 steals vs. Emery\Weiner 26 pts. vs. St. John 20 pts. 7 steals vs. Lutheran South

UNM basketball team is legit though. Looked like The Pit was soldout few nights ago.

If Matthews retires or leaves. Vidor should stay in the slot-t pay some money to the OC at Liberty Hill to see if he can translate the program to Vidor.

Coaching and the school board...Other than Uncle Larry both have been a disaster for Nederland for the last 60 years

well, Jasper returns 19 starters. 8 on offense and all 11 on defense. so we shall see.

This is very interesting. Many call baseball the "series" sport and feel it should be that way at all levels and should have been instituted years ago. Many districts have moved to same opponent in a week to make it more "series like." The state tournament is likely never changing, but a 3 game series to decide it all could be fun if it were ever to do so. Only would add 1 week to the playoffs.
