Gasilla,ladybug33,wosdrummer99,wos#1,Mmustangfan and so on this site.hard to put in words what he meant to all of us. And the program!! He wasn't just a coach a leader.i don't know anyone who wouldn't have loved to play for him.i know many say we were spoiled for all the years we were winning.and now today's game has changed.but, the toughness he and CT expected out of all of us was unmatched.looking on FB it is sooo many ppl.sending love and support.and if y'all get a chance look at what Kevin smith wrote about him.its truly a sad day for all of us.as them kids get ready to play in the semifinals.we all gotta give the current staff credit for going back to the way things were.trust me they even tackling more in practice and even hitting the sled again after practice!! I truly believe HH learned the lesson of it wasn't broke don't try to fix it.LOL,OC well any way!! But I truly have seen a lot of the old stuff that made us great.i know he is smiling down on all of us. The ol ball coach rip dan ray hooks !!

Not necessarily. UIL has not decided on divisional districts for all sports. Just football for now. Supts. are wanting to keep it like it's been these last two season for other sports. Divide after district play. UIL should be making that decision in Feb. when the district alignments are announced.

That was my thinking as well.... Moving up teams like Woodville, Holliday, ect from 3ad2 and moving teams like Orangefield up from 3ad1 to 4ad2 and keeping sinton 4ad2 for this next realignment.

This is exactly why you want originalists in the Court vs. liberal revisionists. Originalists interpret intent & principles that apply across the decades. Those who say the Constitution is a ‘living document’ are full of it. Free speech (1st Amendment), right to bear arms (2nd), illegal search (4th), etc. principles remain the same as original intent whether the Framers knew about social media, specific firearms or not. Same with the other bedrock principles. The principles remain the same, and are just applied to current. Anything above that, and judges aren’t interpreting—which is their charge. They’re legislating. Which isn’t their arena.

The man pulled me out of class cuz I was failing Calculus with Griff. I wasnt a star player but he told me this... idk what position play or if u play at all. But your names on my list now. So get your *stuff together or I'll be having another meeting with u that won't go so well. Get your *butt back in there and listen to Griff. Don't make me come down this hall again. Yesssir!!! And and i passed Calculus. RIP Coach Coach Hooks, stomp, stomp Coach Hooks, stomp, stomp Coach Hooks, stomp, stomp Sometimes during the pep rally it would barely stop long enough for him to speak. Then right back at it until the band played stop look and listen.

SETXsports will have an audio broadcast of this game.

Is it dog related?

Thoughts🤣

I won’t defend any of it. My stance is get them all.

Ya'll know i like videos, there is one on YouTube where Sinton is reflecting on tomorrow's game. Anyways, you tube would not let me embed it. Sinton ready for run game duel with West Orange-Stark in UIL 4A-DII State Semifinal - YouTube But I think the link works

Just been enjoying the entertainment that liberals provide. Lol

Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face. Thomas Sowell

Exactly. But some very educated and databased guesses.

Breathe, people. The UIL will surprise everyone. These are just guesses at this point.

Onalaska 73 Hitchcock 41

East Chambers 72 Lovelady 53

Your words of “Let people shop for plans without restrictions” is the key. We should be able to shop across state lines for health insurance. I never understood that except for it to help insurance companies monopolize the market and make more money. Some good thoughts there sir.

I agree but I am afraid if the Democrats get the trifecta they get rid of the filibuster. Seeing what’s transpired since Trump took office I believe we have a Uniparty instead of 2 parties.

Right off the top of my head it would have Orangefield move up to 4A and Tarkington stay 4A. Looks like none of our coverage area 4A's have any real chance of moving up to 5A.

Shepherd 18 OF 52 Halftime

BH Would likely be the overall third place team, and be the districts top seed in the 6A-ll bracket. BH can certainly live with that.

Just going off what few projections I have been privy to. With 6A looking like it will drop from 2275 to somewhere around 2205-2225, then one has to think other cutoffs will drop as much as 40-60 across the board. With 70% of all Texas schools having a decline in enrollment, the cutoff numbers have to drop some. How much they drop is the big question. It all starts with 6A. UIL always wants 6A to have at least 245 schools. Most times it's around 250. With the numbers out, if they were to use the same cutoff as last realignment (2275) then 6A would only have about 220 schools. So therefore they will have to drop the cutoff in order to get the preferred 245-250. This will cause a trickle down effect for the other cutoffs. But to answer your question, I would guess that the 3A DI/DII cutoff would be somewhere at 345-350.

I'm not sure the blame lies with Trump. Is a trifecta REALLY a trifecta when you don't have 60 votes in the Senate? There are some Republicans that need to replace in house and senate - but I'm afraid the only way to get things done quicky is eliminate the Filibuster (which I disagree with, because when the rolls are reversed it could be a nightmare). Trump is really working on the mid-terms, so I do have hope we keep house and senate (Which is against the usual norms) Back to the Filibuster, I hate when Democrats(or anyone really) pull the "threat to democracy" talking point. It is dishonest and an insult to the founders of this great country. The system is working like it was designed. Trump is not King, Obama did not hurt Democracy (he did screw up healthcare) and no President has went rogue. The system was designed to be challenged, that is why we have safe guards. At the same time, it was not designed for the President to be hindered by district judges on foreign policies or any Presidential powers. Trump, by design is challenging these things and bringing it to the Supreme Court to get all these matters resolved. So far this term, he is winning almost every one. I don't believe the Democrats seen this coming......Good news is, it will apply to all Presidents going forward...... Rant over

Obamacare was destined to fail. It has destroyed the healthcare system and should have never been passed. My question is where is the Republicans Plan? Trump has had the trifecta in DC for almost a year now. Where is his plan to replace Obamacare? I voted for Trump 3 times but this an issue I have not been happy about. Republicans are not codifying Trumps Executive Orders with legislation. Great job on the border and fuel prices/energy. Needs to work on replacing Obamacare and Election Integrity.

DeSoto has been having 5A numbers they just choose to opt up… they aren’t opting up this time. They sticking with 5AD1

I'm aware of all of that. Let's just say he averaged 700 yards per season his first three years. He has to be over 2,000 years this season. That puts him right at Jamaal's record which is somewhere around 4,100 yards. As far as the best QB that has played at Memorial, that is Terence Singleton for sure.

Just razzing ya’. We knew what you meant.

Rumors it is more protective custody than arrest. He was threatening suicide.

Hey! That's me! Just a note that I do a version of this for every playoff game starting with the 3rd round. I do selected games in 1st two rounds. So, be sure to check in anytime you are looking for this kind of info on playoff games. I have a capsule up for all 20 Semifinal games and I'll have one up for all 12 championship games.

No opting up in within a classification. You want to move up....you add an A!

without discussing specific schools, I believe that any school in the state that opts up for football should have to opt up in all sports. Since "travel" is the issue, that's an issue for all sports, not just one. It would be fun watching the administration then try and explain to the community why opting up for an easier football district is worth the majority of the other sports programs suffering.

Has the Democrat Party figured out the definition of a woman yet?

In bold: that man was damn near headed to Lake Charles trying to find Memorial Stadium here in Port Arthur 🤣🙃

Going between La Porte & Beaumont, Port Arthur, Port Neches, Nederland, etc. isn't a bad drive as long as I-10 isn't messed up. Any further west or south of La Porte gets to be a mess as you get into more of the metro congestion. La Porte is kind of the end of the road on the east side before the metro-mess. Just don't let @Big Daddy Cool drive, or who knows where you'll wind up. Louisiana is a good bet.

RIP Coach Hooks. Prayers of comfort for Family and Friends. He was a force to be dealt with on the side lines, I'm sure Refs across the state still get nervous at the hint of Coach Hooks name.

Had him in jr high for either science or health class. Long before he became the HC. A definite legend that impacted many lives. Part of the WO-S Mount Rushmore. Prayers for his family.

Warning, this thread will not turn into a BC/LCM bitching thread. Keep it to the subject at hand please. Thank you.

BC had a good year, no one is saying they didn’t. But the facts are that they ran from WOS, Silsbee, and HF. If travel was the reason they gave to UIL then they lied to them. Also they lost to the same team that Beat LCM in the playoffs. And LCM beat BC. Maybe they won’t run from the district they are supposed to play in again. If BC gets put in 4a D11 again they will be biggest in their district. Should be able to beat those other teams since they are such a powerhouse and have more kids.

We’ve been back and forth between D1 and D2 a few times. Truth be told, we’re a better fit as a school in D1. Our band and drill team are bigger than most D1 schools, plus we travel well. We’ll be fine wherever we end up.

Lol that’s fair. LCM I’m guessing?

Prayers to the Hooks family and to all the Mustang Nation. RIP Coach Hooks. Legend

Prayers for his family and friends. I still remember having him as a coach at Lamar in 1971. Weird sense of humor, sometimes moody, all-around good guy.

Condolences to the family,he will be missed!

Rest in Peace Coach Hooks thank you for the memories.🙏

Well forgive me for cursing then.
