I'm not sure if you have kids (Honestly I hope not with your response), but I do and I thank God he is still with me. I have two good friends, one lost her first born Son(to a work accident) and the other to a drug overdose. The pain that causes does not go away....EVER. That pain is so severe, if you have kids or don't, you can't even attempt to understand their pain. They are reminded several times a year (every holiday, birthday and special event) for the rest of their life they lost their kid. So, if that guy Republican or Democrat got in to yell at the President over the death of his Son, I support that 150%.....and you should too. Life is short, and you never know if your kid might lose their life and you have that same pain. Everything is not politics, and those lives and deaths are real.

Silsbee will face winner of Faith Family/Stafford for 4A State Championship, Saturday 7pm

It’s hard to believe that the Carter Cowboys are okay with it. At any rate we’re done with it. And wouldn’t it be sweet to send them off with a loss!

Mine either, it's like a normal thing. I bet if FF was from this area though they would have an issue with it. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Botley's midrange jumper is money

If it is who I think it is based on this information, Lumberton is gonna have a dumpster fire of an organization.. I hope I am wrong.

I know the all district selection argument has always been “it’s about recognizing the kids” which is true. Personally I think it should be recognition of the very best. A reward for hard work and performance. Selection of 20 all district players in a 7 team district waters down the award for the players who are actually deserving. Pick 5 players on 1st team and include them as the superlative players. Pick 5 on the 2nd team and you’ll actually start recognizing kids for their accomplishments again. Under no circumstance would I open the selection process to parents and slide shows and stats. You’d have lil Johnnys Little Dribbler game winning shot on the projector. JMO for what it’s worth as a fan.

Ah yes! The Buc-ee’s State Tournament reunion. Life is good.

All in all though, I’m pretty F’d up bout Kayde injury man. And I can only imagine how he feels senior year having to watch his team from the sidelines fight for a state championship as a SETX sports fans & Beaumont fan I’m devastated myself ! But from what I heard the kids are in good spirit and ready to prove everybody wrong who’s counting them out !

Blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while. lol

Agreed. And teams tend not to shoot it very well against Hitchcock. I wonder why?

You heard wrong. There is not some pushback. There is a lot of pushback. 🙂

I wish you'd quit pretending that 18-13, 12-6 is somehow better than 9-22, 5-13.

@Cu Chulainn I believe my sentence started with Ghost is a good player, come on man no need to get so worked up. I do think you miss the fact that people tend to poke at you a little bit with some of your outlandish takes and bizarre behavior.

Are you really comparing Lumberton and WOS? The two situations are not even close.

Nederland 5 HJ 1 F Hollyfield 3 run 💣 Williams CG, 1ER

Harris and Bottley finished with 21 each. Miller had 12 points and 12 rebounds Bottley was 9/12 from the field,

Final 75-68 Silsbee

The current DC in Lumberton is "head over heels" better for the school as a whole than this ex college oc. He has community/player support and has a great football mind. This former college coach I am thinking of will be an absolute disaster hire for Lumberton. The proof is in the resume of this guy. IYK who it is then you will agree with me. Again, I hope I am wrong.

5:17 62-55 Silsbee

Being a college coach doesn’t make you more qualified, in fact, it would make you less, in my opinion. It’s completely different. In this case, “qualified,” would be someone who has shown loyalty and understanding of this level of football and what it takes to succeed in this area at said school. It seems, from an external point of view, that they are overlooking someone who is a great guy, great football mind, loves the school/kids, and is respected, in order to go for a more “flashy” hire. This is a slippery slope, and not valuing loyalty can create a revolving door and constant losing seasons. Even if someone comes in and does well, it will make the job a stepping stone—no assistant will ever think they can get it. Their last hire wasn’t flashy at the time, he was a 4A d2 coordinator with no HC experience, yet it worked. It’s no secret he inherited the most talented group L-town has seen in awhile, but it begs to question why the change in attitude. Perhaps success has got to certain people’s heads. Very odd

Purposely mispronounced? Give me a break! The guy is completely out of touch, yet you defend him. We need to vote what’s best for the country and not with snowflake feelings. We can’t take another 4 years of this in office.

Absolutely… You can’t catch and shoot with .3 left… only enough time for a tip in

I prefer mcneese in the semis as well.

Well, Lumberton is not failing to provide a proper education. Neither are the majority of the schools in our area where I live. This is a political move with the ruse of being used to keep liberal indoctrination away from our kids. While I agree with keeping our kids from being led down the happy blue path, I don't agree with the way they are trying to do it. Texas Conservatives (of which I am) are simply doing this to garner support from the right. If you think they really give two craps about your kids, my kids, any kids, then you are gullible (which I don't believe you are). You're a smart guy. I agree with the vast majority of things you post. We are being given a poor solution which will raise taxes in the end and could possibly be harmful to a lot of middle class families on down to the lower class. There can be other ways to do it than school vouchers. From a guy that doesn't like paying any more taxes than I have to, I am definitely against it. I am also against fixing one problem by causing many more problems.

Probably some guy who voted for Trump twice.

Updated schedule due to weather 1:00 pm Nederland vs HJ 3:00 pm BC vs HJ 5:00 pm BC vs Livingston 7:00 pm Jasper vs HF

Blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile…

That concludes Day 1 Tomorrow its 2A, 4A and 6A state semifinals. Again, Beaumont United and Silsbee will have their own game threads.

Jasper 7 NCWF 2

If any of these two play Ellison, and play this bad, Ellison will win by 20+.

New deal. McNeese has secured the basketball for longer through '29. Southeastern will now host baseball for '24. Think the bid process for baseball is presently on a year by year basis. Personally love the SELA stadium and the fans are quite supportive. Would love a return to Lamar or even HCU (if they could secure the Sugarland facility).

Yes

Yeah but in Region 2.

End 3rd 43-25 Ellison Looks like this 40-1 Memorial team schedule may not have been all that tough.

I agree. A real shame for the young man. Heart goes out to him.

My undying respect

Type in UIL or Killeen Ellison

NFHS Network has all the games at state tourney.

Good post. I am extremely grateful that my parents were like Jamal Crawford’s parents during my playing days

I am confused why an arbitrary individual award that is non-monetary is such a big deal to you. Everyone now thinks they should be recognized for every little thing they do. How bout these kids just go play the game and have fun and not need constant reinforcement and ego boosting? I promise they won't get that when they go to work. Why do you believe the votes have gone differently than you believe they should?

I hope our kids can play well this weekend. It would be good for them to win a game or two.

The SETX Transfer Police in Winnie would've never allowed this to happen in their jurisdiction.

If that is the case my son should have been MVP last year cause he was face guarded just about full court by the best defender every district game except for the games against Kountze and still averaged 20+ points. But it is not the case. Perrault benefited from this as well as being the best athlete on our team last year. Sells is a phenomenal ball player who deserves the mvp. At worst if you believe in the co mvp stuff he would be that. If anything it is preparing him for college because that’s all they do is tight man coverage.

First of all, in regards to the #1 seed game. I know that Orangefield wanted to flip and not play but Kountze said no. They wanted to play the game. So Orangefield had to agree to play or concede the #1 seed. As for the superlatives go, I actually thought that Whitmire and Joubert should have been Co-COY. They both did tremendous jobs with their respective teams. I usually don't like Co's but in this case I think it's deserving and would have been the right thing to do. I think the coaches got the MVP right. IMO, Sells is the best player and performed that way all season. I think Scales getting Offensive MVP is right on the money and Wrinkle getting Defensive was the correct call too. IMO, Wrinkle was more valuable to his team but isn't the scorer that Scales is. This is based on some of the games I have watched live and on video. When I talk to folks at the games it's always brought up how Wrinkle is Orangefield's "glue guy" (does it all) but just doesn't have the offensive game that Scales has. All in all, I think the coaches have it right. Just my opinion. No shade thrown anywhere.

I gotta ask the age old question, is there anyone who doesn’t make all district?

Who is down playing him?

IMO, all charter schools should be treated like the Jesuit schools who wanted to play under the UIL umbrella. They should have to play in highest classification regardless of enrollment size. FF draws from 15 other ISD's. It basically is an academy for basketball. It's the only sport it offers.
