This has gone long enough. When folks start talking about race of the coach, that ends the thread.

If you don't see updated scores or schedule updates from me today, I apologize. Battling the flu. Will be in bed most of the morning and afternoon. I will try to get caught up with results from most of the tourneys later this evening. Hopefully folks will post todays scores in the tournament threads. Thanks for your understanding.

Hey anti-American libs, where was your outrage over this? As usual, never heard a peep. I guess oops would cover it for you. Google search: The Abbey Gate bombing on August 26, 2021, was a suicide attack carried out by an ISIS-K member, Abdul Rahman al-Logari, that killed 13 U.S. service members and more than 100 Afghan civilians. Days later, the U.S. military conducted a drone strike targeting what they believed was an imminent threat to troops at the airport. This strike, ordered under President Biden's authority, mistakenly killed 10 innocent civilians, including seven children and one aid worker, Zemerai Ahmadi, not at Abbey Gate itself but a few kilometers away in Kabul. Key details regarding these two separate events: The Abbey Gate Bombing Perpetrator: The attack was a suicide bombing conducted by an ISIS-K militant. Casualties: It resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members and approximately 160 Afghan civilians who were attempting to flee the country during the evacuation. Biden's response: President Biden vowed to hunt down those responsible and ordered a counterstrike. The U.S. Drone Strike (August 29, 2021) The order: Following the Abbey Gate attack, the U.S. military received intelligence of another potential attack and tracked a white vehicle, believing it to contain explosives. The mistake: A U.S. drone strike hit the vehicle, but it was a "tragic mistake". The driver was an aid worker with no connections to ISIS-K or threats against U.S. troops. Civilian casualties: The strike and subsequent secondary explosions killed 10 members of the same family, including one man and six children (along with three other adults). The U.S. Central Command later concluded that the drone strike was a "tragic mistake" and apologized for the loss of life, stating none of the victims were connected to ISIS-K or posed a threat.

This is what I do know. There are certain people in this fan base that don’t have any knowledge of football and no school spirit but just show up to cause confusion. This may be the case here, however, there seem to be belligerent people like this In all of our local fan bases.

Congrats Titans, good luck next week.

Because BISD runs this tourney and it's a money maker for them? Tournament is not terrible. Are there better ones? Yes. But this isn't terrible. What tourneys this week should United and West Brook have played?

Well, when you say elite, I assume you mean WB and BU? If so, they’re the host. What did you expect?

Congrats Titans!! Gives us a third broadcast for next week. Newton WO-S PA Memorial

PAM looking stunned right now and their secondary is food at the moment

Had to do some digging to find the 2 leading rushers in 4A that year. Our Mustangs were lower on the list. 2,557 Randy Simmons, McKinney 2,547 Brad Grant, New Braunfels 1,188 Brian Cleveland, West Orange-Stark 1,156 Scottie Littleton, West Orange-Stark

West Brook - 25 United - 30 Halftime

Yep. And I can go back even further, lol , shutting down Randy Simmons and McKinney in 86

Will the 3rd time be the charm for Port Arthur Memorial to beat these guys? (Met in 2002 and 2003 1st game each season)

Anyone plan attend for the state semifinals? Thursday- Newton vs. East Bernard Friday- WOS vs. Sinton Saturday- North Shore vs. Lake Travis

I think my main question is how you have families living in port neches but having to send their kids to Nederland. It’s never made sense to me. Would that be a zoning issue?

The thing is that Port Neches is truly landlocked. Nederland on one side, refineries, Neches River, Port Arthur…. Where is the growth going to come from? I must say, I do see Port Neches-Groves schools buses picking and dropping kids off in Port Arthur zones and apartments…

Dude stop it!

I can agree with that now that I think about it. They both have the Katy model as far as style of play.

Aledo's a nice place. Get some retired pro athletes come settle in that area sometimes also. I think Diboll's JerMichael Finley, who played TE for the packers, moved there after his NFL career to be a trainer. His son's one of their top receivers now if I'm not mistaking. They got a lot of resources 💰 to make things happen there and tend to attract the right people to keep things going.

Ok this makes a lot more sense…but this tourney has went down hill since I was in school.

If you are going to host, you want the host teams to play. It's their facilities being used and it sells tickets. That's just good busines. As for other tourneys, you only get to play three tournaments in a season. Have to have them played by the end of December since all the districts will be into district play by January. So you really only have this week (Dec. 4-6) next week (Dec. 11-13) and then the Christmas time to play your tourneys. So in their case, they have to not host a tourney (YMBL/BISD) which is a money maker for the district, and go play elsewhere in order to play better teams for just that one week. I looked at tourneys for this week and really the only one that stood out for competition was the Mansfield ISD tourney. It had several good teams in it. Also Conroe Grand Oaks was good. But it's just one week. Like I stated earlier, United will be playing in LaGrange La. tourney this coming week and then play in Dallas ISD tourney during Christmas break. West Brook is playing in a tough Cypress Hoops tourney this week and then play in Conroe ISD tourney at Christmas, I think both teams will get their fair share of competition in those tourneys. Therefore them hosting a tourney for this past week is not that big a deal on the competition level. (even though Cy Springs and Angleton took each team to the brink of losing). It's more important to keep that tourney going for all involved. I know about why some teams don't come to YMBL but that's old news. Things have changed from a few years ago on how it's run. I do agree that the tourney could be better on the competition side of things. Also hate that Lamar no longer hosts the tourney but I am glad they decided to not have a girls tourney at the same time. Allowed to get more boys teams in.

Right! So Aledo Texas, a town of roughly 5,000 has some of the best homegrown football players in the state year in and year out for 15-20 years. OK. Facts are kids transfer to Aledo from greater FW all the time and it is clearly for athletic purposes but they never have to sit out as the rules would suggest with a transfer for athletic purposes. So I will recant the recruiting statement and say get to play one of those DFW area Transfer Portal juggernauts for which there is plenty of evidence. PA and PNG are not open enrollment and are working without year to year transfers that don’t live in the district. Which to me makes their recent successes more interesting.

Championship La Marque: 86 FW Dunbar: 52

1st place- Pearland over Barbers Hill 56-44 3rd place- Alief Taylor over West Fork

We have ties on playoffs and overall season. Time to get serious. 2 weeks left. 20 games this week then 12 to finish up. Good luck everyone!!!

Brookeland had a heck of a showing in this one

Smithson Valley's defense is very, very good..believe they brought back eight starters from the state title defense a year ago...they are sound, dont do much to beat themselves...you've got to beat them...... Offense isn't flashy, but they are efficient... Their special teams are outstanding

I predict PAM’s gonna’ need to be a lot more disciplined. I don’t think they’ll be able to get by SV with all the penalties. I do think I read somewhere where one of SV’s RB’s (#3) was dinged up. Don’t quote me on it though.

I believe so. It would make sense, but um that committee is weird.

Gus is about to lose his mind 😂 in Indy

United will play in LaGrange, La. tourney next week and Dallas ISD tourney after Christmas. West Brook will play in Cy Hoops tourney next week and Conroe tourney after Christmas. Both these teams played in the YMBL when they won their state championships.

In bold: I really hope the person who said this isn't who I think it is 🤦🏾‍♂️ @Yeoj you know exactly who I'm talking about 😂

I was just told today that Brad Grant passed away yesterday at 56

Was told they were not allowed to come back today.

On YouTube Smithson Valley has their own network channel: @RangersNetwork Check out what they look like for yourselves, but to me they look like a small version of Katy High.

Championship game PNG 47 Nederland 32

Good game. Good season BH.

1 yard TD run by the Titans, PAT is good... Eagles 29 Titans 48 5:10 left in the 4th quarter... And with that, I'm headed out. Someone else will have to finish the updates...

Cool, my wife and I have good friends that are there, all the way from Pennsylvania, to watch him.

Amante Martin is the closer for PAM throws a TD to Roberts who was lined up at RB and got matched up on a LB

Not what I am talking about. Got criticized for putting United #1 in state and winning district over West Brook.

You have to give BH a ton of credit they just hang and hang and hang...their kids are tough

The 4th quarter gonna be a damn movie. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Huge roughing the passer penalty keeps BH drive alive there.....Port Arthur's penalties are killing them and BH is taking full advantage

West Brook - 52 United - 59 Final BU are the YMBL champs Quote from a random fan. ‘Hey, this not last year. There’s no (short) PG’a this year’

I think PAM folks have been agitated over the fact that they beat PNG both years that PNG went to the title game and they didn’t. They poke at PNG fans about PNG not scheduling PAM again and some purple folk can’t take it and say stupid schlitz, but I think most of us would love to play them again if it means another trip to State 🤣. PAM has the speed that SOC has so getting an early game with them probably helped PNG when they got to the SOC matchups. Good Luck to Memorial. They should make it to the title. Then they will find out what it’s like facing one of those DFW recruiting teams in Aledo. And I will be cheering for the Titans in that matchup.

What about that ole boy from New Braunfels he was a handful, I don't remember his name

And I’ll say this. And this is just my opinion. I think the BU offense would open up more if our big man would make moves going right. Maybe a spin into a short baby hook to the right. Teams are playing him to the left because they all know that’s where he’s going. Other than this, overall, I think we’re playing very good and I have BU by 6 vs. Brook.

Question. Where is @dj? Not a single post from him since the "coach is scared" comment. Not even a "Congrats Mustangs".
