You are a joke. The LCM coach had zero integrity. Your analogy makes zero sense.

Here are the details that I know. In the LC-M/BC game of two weeks ago an incident happened at the beginning of the game that caused BC to raise questions. BC has electronic wristbands for their offensive play calling. The offensive players wear these "watches" and the offensive co. gives the play call from his tablet to these watches. This is the first year that UIL has allowed teams to use these devices. BC and a couple of other area teams use these devices. I hear they are pretty expensive. But that's here nor there. At the beginning of the game (opening kickoff) an LC-M player found one of these "watches" and instead of giving it to a game official (which in NCAA rules, you are required to) he gave it to one of his coaches. The coach never gave it to an official. It was shown on game film the coach being handed the "watch". It was also shown on game film during the game that this coach, who is an offensive coach, stayed very close to the defensive co. all during the first half. BC did not learn of the watch missing until right before halftime. They asked for it back. But it is not the responsibility of game officials to ask the opponent for it. School admins, coaches have to get involved. TASO has no say so in the matter. They are only responsible when given the device to get it back to rightful team. BC even had coaches and admins search LC-M sidelines during halftime to look for watch. There is also no in game penalty to access the team who confiscated the device. LC-M claimed they did not have the device and has yet to turn it over. But video evidence shows otherwise. What the video doesn't prove if the coach or coaches were able to use the device to their advantage. But the halftime score was 17-0 in favor of LC-M. BC stopped using their devices in 2nd half. Final score was 24-16, LC-M. A meeting today of the district supts. to discuss this issue and vote on a possible forfeiture or reprimands. The vote was 3-3. So no forfeiture. This is definitely an ethics situation and not necessarily a rules violation. DEC and UIL would have to govern and determine what type action. IMO, it's a black eye on all involved but like I stated earlier, should not warrant a forfeiture of game.

Or just the game to be played the right way....

If Huffman picks up a single napkin or mouthpiece with writing on it friday. Bc taking it straight to the Supreme court.

I guess Huffman doesn’t wear watches.

BC rent free in bobcat fans heads at all times.

Not affiliated with either school?? You sure post a lot on LC-M game threads, LC-M threads and not other teams in that district. In fact, the vast majority of your posts on this site are all LC-M related. Just sayin.

The easy road is cheating😂 If you were playing poker and found out the person winning at the table had cards in their sleeve, would you not want your money? Or would you consider that to be a gift? BC is completely justified in bringing this to light, so would anyone else in a similar situation.

It has been going on since the game. They just had the district meeting yesterday

Wouldn't this be theft? Finders keepers isn't really true according to the law. Maybe TVC can answer that. The coverup is worse than the crime most of the time. If LCM would have given the watch back at half, I wouldn't have an issue. Sending in edited video, continuing to lie, discarding the watch somewhere to cover it up is the issue I have.

I think I saw where La Porte had lost almost 10% student enrollment. Immigration policies having a big impact I suspect. With all these numbers, I’ll be curious to see overall test scores at the next evaluation. I have to think they’ll go up with less ESL issues.

I will say I think Coach Williams has done an outstanding job at United this year....and that sentiment has been given to me by multiple head coaches in the district unprompted

This is a crazy question. But it depends on who you ask. The casual Beaumont person that you’ll find in barber shops, restaurants, ect, absolutely. Fans and people actively involved with the boosters and stuff…. Absolutely. The students at the respective schools? Yes. Administration is another story. Both at the school level and the district level. School level, with the growing problem of low test scores. The schools are having to place the big sport like football on the back burner and focus on academics. This means low quality football coaches, due to inadequate salaries and resources. And that’s just the school level admin. The district level admin seem to ONLY be focused on basketball. Football takes a back seat. You can clearly see this when one of those coaching jobs come open. Seems to be quality hires every time. Just one guy’s thoughts on it.

The watch or band tells the players exactly what play is going to be run. It's easy enough for anyone who knows football to know what's coming. Video shows the LCM DC hiding behind a few players and looking at the device and then signaling his players to one side or another and run or pass. If you're a DC and you see "counter right" where are you putting your players? It's an integrity issue. No rule against it. Sure doesn't look good though.

I cannot fault BC for loosing the device. When they realized one was missing, they then asked for it back. That's where LC-M dropped the ball in denying they even had the device even though game film afterwards showed they did indeed have it. It's an ethics thing. Looks bad on LC-M part in claiming innocence of it all. BC is not being petty at all in this instance.

A lot of what ifs in that ... I'll just go with how the game played out . First half 17-0 LCM with BC play calls in hand . Second half 16-7 BC against a watchless LCM Defensive Coordinator. Another coincidence...that was probably the best half of football for the LCM defense this year.

May not have broken any rules, but that’s bush league. And any LCM fan acting like it wasn’t a major advantage, and quite possibly the difference in the game is delusional.

I would say it didn't hurt. Come on acting like having every offensive play call in the first half didn't play a part is naive 😂

3-3 decision is correct more of an integrity issue over anything else no real rules broken but it’s definitely shady and sad

10:30pm Saturday!!

All seems pretty logical to me.

Per KOGT: Band...Aid? - KOGT

For those thinking BC coaches focusing in the wrong direction. This has been an administrative issue since the game was finished. BC Super has done everything in his power to have a fair ruling. But I dont think they got it. Also was told that it wasnt coaches making the votes. Can anyone confirm?

When the BC defense is on the field the entire half due their offense going 3 & out every time they get the ball, it directly affects LCM's offensive production.

The only thing that made sense in this was BC and LCM are focused on two different things. BC is trying to hold LCM accountable and show integrity LCM wants to avoid both.

I do not understand just give BC the win. They had equipment stolen in game that gave LCM a huge advantage for an entire half of a must win game. LCM took the easy road then lied about it.

Can they not do both? Right is right and wrong is wrong. I'm sure they are still preparing for this week as well as trying to get their equipment back. I would think that this incident hasn't been their entire focus but should still be dealt with. I would hope that not everyone thinks it is ok to lie, cheat and steal.

I think it is crazy people don't think LCM gained a significant advantage by gaining access to another team's plays. Shut them out in half #1 and give up 16 points in half #2. I think that should raise plenty of red flags on how much of an advantage it gave LCM.

The lack of integrity speaks volumes.

Exactly. LC-M trying to play innocent of it all is where I have issue as well.

Welp, like I said earlier in the thread, more subtraction than addition of ISD's east of the Trinity River.....

Your source and my source differ. The video also tells a different story. Again the Board voted 6-0 that the LCM Head Coach had no knowledge of the lost device or that he deliberately cheated. Are you aware that the BC Sup was calling and emailing "evidence" to the LCM head coach minutes prior to Friday nights contest again Huffman. What a coincidence. Trash behavior.

Only one watch was lost. I spoke with three different game officials. All said no game official had their hands on any device at any time during that game. LC-M HC was cleared by DEC on the matter. Only the assistant will go before the UIL for any kind of punishment.

We will see if I’m right

IMO, it's definitely second fiddle to basketball. I've been to several BISD football games over the last 6-8 years. The support (attendance) is nowhere near the support that is shown at the basketball games that I have attended. And I am not talking about just when United plays West Brook in basketball. It's mostly all their basketball games. Of course, it doesn't help that football has been losing and basketball has 3 state championships of late. But obviously I am not a "Beaumonter". I would like to hear from those folks as well.

Well NYC just sealed their fate. How stupid can some Americans be? I guess pretty damn stupid! All I can say is they are about to get what they deserve. God help us.

You have no idea as you were not present with the kid throughout the journey and have no idea what factors were in play. It is very bold and arrogant to say that you know better than a child's parent. And even more ridiculous to say you know more than this kid's parent who is well experienced coach intimately acquainted with every detail pertaining to his own kid.

That photo of those schools moving up and down is full of incorrect information.

Was told almost anyone would know what to do if they saw it.

No, I believe they were around the same numbers as they are now with Thompson.

As an alum of OF and a follower of BC (due to family) both fanbases can be pretty whiny😂 In every sport!

Was told Sterling would be borderline.

Unbelievable, but it doesn’t surprise me with this staff… they are always into something I was told by a very reliable source that there are multiple defensive assistants at LCM that were with Smalley for many years at Ofield. Integrity is definitely lacking by this staff.

In actually not shocked by the numbers turned in, since I’m privy to the proportional increase of Beaumont charter schools like Bob Hope, Evolution, Earhart, ect.

Hamshire-Fannett 614 (Down 6 students) East Chambers 469.5 (Up 3.5 students) Anahuac 454 (Down 22 students) Buna: 404 (Down 3 students) Kountze: 306 (Down 27 students) West Hardin: 151 (Down 27 students) Sabine Pass: 131 (Down 5 students) Evadale: 118 (Up 12 students)

Coach Smalley is an excellent coach and a good person. What an asinine statement by a Lumberton fan on him being a sore loser. For the LC-M coach that did not give the watch back, he should be suspended

And I would think #88 @ qb

Chad Johnson and crew

1000% Coaches do not tackle, block, run, catch or throw. Cannot win games without the “dudes”.

If Dayton is down their top 2 offensive players, it won’t be much of a game, let down or not.
