1) its about keeping your word, if someone asks you to do something and you agree...be a man of your word...a great man once said "A man's gotta have a code" 2) We are dealing with HS kids, my code is allow the adult who works with these kids to tell the kids himself the news...the kids deserve to hear it from the adults who made the decision. 3) It's about building relationships, in this case I could have easily broken the news last week, but I'd burn a Coach...and coaches talk..."Can't trust Stepp, he doesnt keep his word" then I won't break anything....take the L here to break ten more stories later..chess not checkers

For me personally, because I was asked to keep quiet by the two parties involved. It's about keeping good relationships. I learned of the hire last week. Was asked to not release the news until Coach Foreman could inform his players. I don't think that's too much to ask. I have always tried to do what the coach has asked in those type situations. Can't speak for other media entities. If you notice, KJAS has no direct quotes from either party. Meaning they hadn't spoken with Coach Foreman or Jasper supt.

0-10 Football team, 1-24 Girls Basketball, 5-15 Baseball, 7-15 Softball… Maybe not “great” compared to previous basketball seasons but in the vacuum of 25-26, yeah they had a great season.

Wasn't great, at all going 19-14 and 5-7 in district. Made the playoffs six years in a row before this, won a playoff game in four of those six years before this so it's been a while since we were on the "struggle bus" We are far from an elite program in basketball and have a long way to go, no question about that. But, been a long time since we boarded the "struggle bus"

Fairly sure Locks is going to try and get the Shoemaker job...if he doesnt get it I bet he comes

Kind of like the Gateway Pundit. Both are propaganda sites.

Baseball on this site has little to no activity as stated. It could be partly due to the state of baseball below the collegiate level is infurating with parent's views of the ability of their children which is quite distorted. However, if you follow viewership trends for MLB, it is up quite a bit over the past decade and youth participation has recently rebounded quite a bit. The NBA has taken a massive hit in viewership though. The NFL is well the NFL and college football remains strong. I don’t state the above as a stitch head (I am one). Each summer i teach a sports sociology class and we discuss viewership and attendance patterns as part of a sports sociology class. The numbers actually surprised me as I don't care for pumpkin bouncing but was very surprised by the decline. BULLETS, I refuse to discuss kickball as I am an 'Merican! Take your communism elsewhere. I recently learned who bullets13 is folks, I am just giving him a hard time. A quick internet search reveals the number quite easily.

quite frankly, the effort and time put in is lost on all but a handful of members. I made a pretty serious effort in the soccer forum several years back due to my soccer background, and the threads would get 1 or 2 responses from the same small handful of members. At some point the reward isn't worth the effort. I would love to see more posters take the initiative and post game threads and results for their schools.

To answer the question as far as this website goes as to why the baseball coverage isn't as much as football and basketball, there are two specific reasons, One, our beloved admin Todd Broussard (WOSGrad) is no longer with us. Todd was the man that took care of pretty much everything here at SETXsports. He was the one who posted schedules, game threads, scores and standings for our coverage area teams in all our sports. It was a big loss for us when he passed away in August of 2021. Since then, we have never been able to completely fill his shoes. He was such a special person and we miss him dearly. Second, in the summer of 2022, I decided to retire (in hindsight, semi-retire) from the site. I had told my wife that when she retired as a school teacher, that I would retire with her so that we could spend more time at the beach together. I would no longer do any broadcasting and would take a step back from my admin duties. I told the owner (Jordan Wilson) that he would need to get some other mods to handle those duties. Jordan asked me to stay on for a little while until he could get others to take over. So I did. We had Bigdog and WOSdrummer99 take over the football forum as far as schedules, pickems, scores and standings. They have been a big help in that forum. Jordan went with a bot system to create game threads and the scoreboard thread. I helped when needed. Football forum is in good hands. As for basketball, several of the area basketball coaches were concerned that the basketball forum would die off without me tending to it. So they asked me to stay on and take care of that forum. I talked to Jordan about it and we agreed that I would handle that forum on my own with the understanding that after basketball season was over, I would not handle anything else until football season. I put a lot of love and effort in that forum and many folks have expressed their appreciation. But, those days are numbered as well. I honestly don't know how much longer I'll continue to take care of that forum. One, maybe two more years. We will see. As for the baseball forum, KF89 has done the best that he can with posting schedules and scores. I know how tough it is to try and do it all by oneself. It's really beneficial to have others invested in posting info in the forum. I was hoping other mods or members would help in that regard. A lot of truth has been stated in regards to the popularity of the three sports, particularly on this website. Football is definitely king and always will be. Basketball has always had more traffic on the site than baseball. I admit that part of that is how we (I) cover basketball much more than baseball. But even so, the basketball forum has 100,000 more posts in that forum than the baseball forum. It is what it is. KF89 is doing what he can but until we get others to commit to help out, the baseball forum will lack. Don't ask me, I am about to start my 4 1/2 month vacation from here. lol

Trumps’ home district just turned blue. The Republican lost by about 8 points with Trump’s endorsement. Trump won by 11 points in 2024. A state senate seat in Flori flipped as well. The canary in the coal mine is started to get short of breath. C’mon November. Iran will negotiate with whoever follows Trump, just like they held the hostages during Carter’s term and released them on Reagan’s Inauguration Day. Orange Man picked the wrong fight. He can’t win there in 3 years.

Just thought it was interesting propaganda. If you go to x and click on the year the member joined it’ll tell what country they are from and they have been verified.

Not complaining just holding him accountable. Call it what you want.

If i was aggies I put money on <5th place finish... 4th or better > < lol

Maybe not but I think they will be competitive. I don’t think you will be able to scratch them off like last year

Sorry but I have been paying attention in the goods and services that I consume daily. No Bueno

He needs all hands on deck to get rolling in the right direction. I can think of a handful that would run thru a wall for him. Coaches that is

It worked at Newton

Those are good but what can you name. Show me the check list off of his campaign promises. Like I said tell what he’s made worse also. There’s no one that wants him to succeed more than I do but let’s be real on what really matters and that’s affordability of living. And can you please explain to me what he means when he’s made statements that the Golden Era is here. Golden Era for who?

Don’t need to cheat - chatgpt 1. Increased Border EnforcemenT Trump ran on securing the U.S.–Mexico border and reducing illegal crossings. Under his administration, border enforcement has tightened significantly, and recorded unauthorized crossings dropped to historically low levels after he took office. 2. Expanded Deportations of Criminals The administration has increased removals of noncitizens with criminal convictions compared with the prior year’s levels. 3. Rollback of Biden‑Era Regulations Trump has revoked or weakened many environmental, energy, and federal workforce regulations from the previous administration. 4. Withdrawal from or Rejection of International Agreements Consistent with “America First,” the administration withdrew or reversed participation in certain global initiatives (e.g., rejoining a climate accord was reversed; U.S. distance from WHO/other bodies). 5. Tax and Budget Actions Trump celebrated a major tax and spending bill (“One Big Beautiful Bill Act”) that included making some tax cuts permanent (e.g., portions of the 2017 tax cuts). 6. Executive Actions on Social Issues Through executive orders and policy changes, Trump restricted gender‑related medical procedures for minors and limited transgender participation in some areas. In Progress Tariffs and Trade Trump imposed broad tariffs on many imports — fulfilling part of his trade agenda — but long‑term trade deals and economic impact continue to evolve. “No Tax on Tips or Social Security” Claims about eliminating taxes on tips or Social Security would require congressional action; parts are included in fiscal legislation, but full fulfillment is complex and still ongoing. Cultural and Bureaucratic Changes Efforts to roll back “DEI” programs or influence federal workforce are underway, though some face pushback or legal challenges.

We definitely know how much you trust Trump. We would’ve never known. Lol

It's all good, I didn't mean to come across mad about it that's my fault. Dropping will help all sports. It's a great place to work and I love the kids here, I honestly feel like the arrow is pointing up for all sports, and we will have a turnaround in some of the sports that struggled. I know nothing about the process of the AD hiring, but looking forward to whoever we bring in and hoping for a positive impact on all sports.

I didn't say the coach hasn't done great with what he has. I has that barely breaking .500 THIS YEAR and missing the playoffs isn't great (regarding the basketball team). That's not a knock at the coach at all. When you don't have horses.. you don't have horses. But the season overall for the team overall was not great. Maybe as good as it could have possibly been.. or better. But that doesn't necessarily make it great.

I be here to eat crow.

Retired. His 2 sons are coaching now. Oldest was a finalist for the CP job (he was the DC there) now he is going to be DC at Atascocita. Other son was at Dayton last I heard. Stan did not do a bad job at all during his time there.

That’s quite an edit there. I hope you also see the number of people who criticize everything Trump does. That’s just as confusing. There are several on this board…..well, -1.

This is what happens most voting cycles in the effort to stay the UNIPARTY. Republicans along with Trump have did this to themselves.

Now days it seems most media sites are propaganda. Truth is hard to find unless you’re reading your bible.

A few weeks ago I read an article that stated the Ds had turned 28 seats (state) from red to blue since Trump was elected, while the Rs had turned exactly zero seats from blue to red. With a 34 percent approval rating for Trump this week, it looks like a historic blowout could happen in November- but it’s a long way until then. The party formerly known as Republican has to figure out a way to motivate what’s called the low-propensity voters who only show up to vote when Trump is on the ballot.

Nah -- no comparison! Sorry! Here's some facts for you: [Hidden Content]

Coach Locks coming with him ?

look, i voted for him, would vote for him again over Kamala or Biden. but expecting folks to "not dwell on the negative" is not reasonable when the president is constantly doing and saying negative things. And people can be for making the country great again and still not think that trump is doing it. I like some of the stuff he does, hate some of the stuff he does. I hate how he makes the country look when he talks. I think his ego plays a bigger role in his decisions than any desire to make america great again. I fully don't understand people who can't criticize the man or who constantly downplay everything he does that rightfully upsets people.

He’s very very good at getting kids recruited and to the next level. He connects well with the athletes and a very hard working like able guy.

I don't know if you could consider the facilities great. Baseball and softball? Yes. Football? Good but not necessarily great. Certainly no indoor practice facility. The weight room isn't state of the art and there are way better gyms in our area. I would consider the facilities as a whole as good to very good. Not great. Shoemaker had better facilities. Best thing going for Coach Foreman is he will be in 4A D2 and not 6A. Also, back home (SETX) where he has always wanted to be. I really believe he will do quite well at Jasper. Much better than Crumedy.

I’m sorry… I’ve been using ChatGPT for my responses and I guess I forgot to proof that one. I ask it to make me sound like CB, and to not be overtly insulting. I guess it’s kinda working.
