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.

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

Peevey said, “I will state it again and again that we didn’t use any technology to help us win against Bridge City. I’m done with this. I don’t want to be spiteful because that’s not the kind of person I am. I’m ready to move on because we have a huge game against Lumberton.” The above quote from the HC at LCM is prime example of why this fire will not burn out. Playing victim as if they are being attacked or accused of any wrongdoing. I'm not sure what he would have to be spiteful about given the evidence and circumstances. Let's see if LCM changes tune tomorrow in front of the UIL.

The winner/loser of this game has no effect whatsoever in my life. The coach is going to take the fall I know the focus is on him but it's the entire coaching staff. It's the arrogance being displayed. You want to hold 10 people with opinions accountable on the forum, yet you are ok with a coach showing the young men he mentors to avoid accountability and integrity.

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

At this point with video of the LCM player handing over the watch to an assistant coach. I am going to use critical thinking skills. The assistant coach lied during the meeting. He then owns up to it in the same meeting. He is now the face of the whole scandal and will face the jury. It goes way beyond that. LCM knew what they had. They used it to gain a huge advantage in a big game LCM staff has lied from half time of the BC -LCM game and the days following. Anyone who does not believe the watch was used by the LCM staff during the first half needs to be honest with themselves. They are really looking worse in this situation each day by continuing to lie and act offended they are being accused of cheating. No Accountability & No Integrity

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!

I really dislike the opt-up option.

1a would be full

It’s deeper than the game for crying out loud,your famous coach cheated…LCM is nobody’s Super Bowl either,get that out of your head!

How is BC the bad guy in any form for calling out LCM on stealing and using their technology? Seeking to opt up to a bigger classification versus actively and knowingly using another team's technology to gain a competitive advantage is not the same in any context. You must be outside your mind to suggest that it is. The thread for BC, HJ, and Liberty opting up is somewhere else on this site probably buried under threads from two years ago. It's a moot point that you are unearthing to try, and deflect attention off LCM's lack of doing things the right way.

BC has been losing to LCM and will lose again next year. LCM doesn’t need to cheat to win, and wouldn’t do that anyway.

Clear as day the kid brings it to the assistant coach (Gonzales) white cap and headset on. If you watch the video closely he is pacing back and forth behind the players looking down when BC has the ball. He will at times get behind some other coaches and at times the coach will turn toward him evidently saying something. He didn’t throw the watch toward the bench (complete lie). Once caught you begin to crawfish trying to get out of it. LCM people think it happened 3 weeks it water under the bridge. Well once a cheater always cheater and that needs to be dealt with by the UIL.

You can CLEARLY see Gonzales multiple times looking at the band, sneaking around in the back, and relaying information into his headset then flipping it up before the play started. Just go to the youtube recording and see for yourself. What is even more evident is when BC got off the bands, Gonzales can be seen out front close to the field trying to interpret the BC OC's hand signals. Completely different mannerism from the first half. Them having BC's play calling band handicapped the BC offense greatly and as soon as BC abandoned the bands, the offense starting off on LC-M. They gashed them on runs and were able to pass the ball with ease. Coincidence? I think not. Also, LCM saying no other coach knew about it is a load of hogwash.

I’ve seen a video on Facebook today of the coach receiving the watch, and another coach was literally next to him. There’s more hands in this than the scape goat named above.

False. BC 100% would have said something. LCM STOLE their $400-$500 watch. Still nowhere to be seen. Nobody just lets that go. Picture this: Somebody steals your phone, you know who it was, you got video proof. You just gonna keep quiet? It’s not about wins and losses. It’s about stealing, using stolen device to gain advantage, and then lying about it when questioned. Then they all make Gonzales the fall guy when their entire staff knew about it.

It's ridiculous in my opinion that you can opt up to avoid being in a district with surrounding schools...another word for it is SOFT

Dayton will win this game hands down.

I am a Bobcat Dad, but have friends from both BC & LCM. I hate that them and their kids are suffering because of a lapse in judgment by the Coaches. With that being said, I can personally attest to the great man, Coach and father that Hunter Gonzales is. However, in the heat of the moment, competitive nature and the goal of winning may have taken over. If the video proves he had the band and his mannerisms and conduct on the sideline prove they were using it to have an unfair advantage against BC during the first half, then I totally believe it warrants a forfeit of their win. Especially, if the video exposes another Coach of having knowledge of the band as well! In a perfect World, we could make them replay the game, but since that cannot happen, I believe the only right thing to do is go with the score in the second half once BC knew they needed to abandon the use of the bands. JMO, but we all should have the moral obligation to get things right when it comes to kids, whether we like that outcome or not.

You're confused. That was mainly the lb coach i didn't see said wr coach and accused near the DC in the first half. Maybe I missed a few snaps... this is being portrayed as he relayed the signals to the DC from the band for every BC offensive snap in the first half. Thats NOT true at all. In fact personally im not seeing anything of him looking at a band and relaying anything. If anyone else cares to share different that I could be missing.. 2 big penalties missed on BCs best passes. All 5 lineman down field on their screen passes to 5. I did just see that.

In my small knowledge of football. Is it normal for the offensive WR coach to follow the DC the entire first half?

This is the big part for me as well, one the BC coaches asked at halftime if LCM had it, they say no. Coach gets caught changes his story and just tosses it? Thats a bad look for the staff IMO. If your going to lie about not having it whose to say you wouldnt lie about using it for your advantage? Given you knew what was being sent out on the band.

BH was at 2300 or something close to that... Extremely likely they are going to 6A

Thats Pigskin Prep's formula.....we just run it on our site...it takes into account SOS, opponents SOS, etc.....if you are favored to win by 30 and you "only" win by 27 you'll drop some because you didnt cover the "spread"

I appreciate the early morning laugh 😂. Well played my friend.

Almost Veteran’s Day at that. As a vet, I won’t sugarcoat it. I’m disgusted.🤮 Send every single one of them that voted for him to Boot, and then straight to a combat zone. Just give them a shovel to dig their own grave since they just spit on every veteran’s service.

[Coach Gonzales] has entered the chat....😄

If you are naive enough to think that Gonzales had no idea what he was holding in his hand and simply tossed it aside, I have some beachfront property for sale in Kansas if anyone is interested. So it went from we don't have it. Oh wait they have video evidence so yes we had it but it scared a coach when it buzzed so he threw it near the bench. Also the old saying holds true it much easier to tell the truth than to keep up with the lie.

The rumor not true. He will play.

Ever. Some(one) would enjoy that.

They’ve clinched #1. Even if they were to lose to KV, they have the tiebreaker over OF. I like your optimism.. but Hardin gets the trophy this year by themselves. Best of luck to everyone in the playoffs.

Live stream will be posted here for all. Be back at 9am

That watch ain’t coming back from where it went. A thousand UIL hearing wouldn’t change that. Promise that!

They don’t want to hear that,it’s the truth though

Quite the detective this one. Do you work for homeland security?

ʕಠᴥಠʔ GRRR!! (งr🐦‍🔥)ง NOM!! /︶\

This a bigger ordeal by us naysayers and bleacher coaches on here than the ones in the know.

You're outside of your mind if you think thats the only reason why BC admin took that to the UIL. What character does that show opting up for what is supposed to be used for travel purposes to play in the weakest district in the state instead of your own who whom houses some of the best teams in the state? Is that a character move? Lcm definitely lacks character about this whole situation but BC wasn't looking for a character move bringing this to light. Nor is this the reason lcm won and bc lost.

UIL getting that phone call this weekend 😂

They have until Nov. 7 to turn in numbers

Without digging up the past too much what happened with Gonzales and the incident with Ozen in 09? Just to refresh our memories

I predict a major route by PNG .It's to bad Dayton won't make the playoffs the Huntsville game we were the better team and should of won alot of bad luck this year thats how it goes with any team guess.

The coach who is named in the article said he didn’t know what the device was then changed stories and said he threw it on the ground…that says a lot,he is a coordinator correct?

Hot take, senior heavy BC Cards compete and win a district title this season!

The mis-information here in the forum is beyond ridiculous. Someone stated that the DC had the watch. He did NOT. It was an Offensive Coach who it was handed to, Who had it in his possession for about 90 seconds, he tossed it towards the LCM bench as soon as it buzzed one time and he realized what he was in possession of. as far as lying about having it, BC admins didn’t ask the only person who knew LCM had possession of the watch. When LCM AD and a couple others were asked, they didn’t lie when stated “they didn’t have the watch”. They didn’t know their sideline had it, EVER, for even 90 seconds. This is proven by video evidence. And this isn’t second hand information, I am not affiliated with either school but I was in the 4+ hour hearing yesterday. I saw overwhelming evidence and my school voted in favor of LCM. The schools who voted against LCM must have not paid attention to the evidence presented by both sides or have a bigger political agenda or personal grudges.

Unfortunate for West Brook on such a promising season to start the year. I really thought they would have a great opportunity to finish 2nd in district this year. They were never the same after the OT loss to Lufkin. That was a tough game for both schools that night, a game either team could have easily won.

Amazes me how a couple of people have "inside information" and everybody just jumps on it as the gospel. People sat through a lot of information and ruled in favor or LCM. Maybe, just maybe, BC didn't do anything different during the game that they had shown on film and LCM had a solid plan. I have a lot of good friends who are coaches. Those coaches spend countless hours preparing for opponents and to have people that just "hear things" attack them, is a slap in their faces. Unless we were there, and heard evidence or personally saw anything take place, just accept the school administrators ruling.

In bold: 😂🤣😂 I think some folks know exactly why that didn't happen 🤣😂
