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.

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.

and with that, you are history.

Comments like this is what wears your welcome out. You and PDF have to walk a finer line. You don't have the luxury of skating by.

He’s Putin’s puppet, he’s a bully, Israeli is calling the shots, he’s racist…..whatever they can make up

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.

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"

Right. But so many already knew that I am not surprised it was announced before the school board meeting tomorrow night. I do agree. Toby has his work cut out for him but I think he's up for the task. I was told he will take a pay cut but will be allowed to bring in some coaches of his choice. It's my understanding this is the 3rd time he has applied for the Jasper job. Third times the charm.

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

Nice first start of the year for McCullers. 7 IP, 1 run, 4 hits, 9 K's, BB on 95 pitches.

Attorneys for Rep. Eric Swalwell demanded in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that the bureau refrain from releasing decade-old investigative files involving the congressman’s purported ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative. He was pushing for the Epstein files screaming transparency, he changed his tune pretty quick…..lol [Hidden Content]

I take no joy in anyone’s death, nor do I ever wish for anyone’s death. If you’re right, and a majority of people are Christians, is it any wonder church attendance is falling in this country? Jesus teaches forgiveness and compassion, two things I can’t find in one plank of the Republican platform. You think we’re not going to pay for electing a blasphemer to lead us? Read your Bible.

Now dat’s funny right there!😂 I knew you had it in you Baddog!

Liberal women don’t want men in their lives, and the liberal men want to lay each other. I wouldn’t brag about that.

Lol - and the DOJ under 3 administrations just let that slide. You state your hate as fact, no wonder you get mad and say things to get removed from the forum. It appears you believe the things you post.

I thought Purdue made a big boo boo fouling on Texas’ layup that ended up tying it. With 11 seconds left and a 3 point lead, give up the 2, but that’s just me.

Liberty- 5 H.F.- 1 Nederland- 4 Baytown Sterling- 3 Silsbee- 8 Jasper- 4 B.C.- 3 Lumberton- 1 West Sabine- 12 Corrigan- Camden- 2 B.H.- 19 Bmt. United- 1 Huffman- 11 Tarkington- 1 Baytown Lee- 4 Bmt. West Brook- 3 Livingston- 12 Shepherd- 2 PNG- 17 P.A.- 1 Angleton- 5 La Porte- 2 Central Heights- 16 Newton- 0 Crosby- 2 Kingwood Park- 1 Big Sandy- 7 Sabine Pass- 2 H.J.- 8 Pasadena- 3 Vidor- 7 LCM- 5 Porter- 5 Dayton- 1

Nederland never released a list but i know some here wanted Aaron Babino who was the defensive coordinator at DeSoto he took the job in Cameron Yoe he's 6-15 in 2 years there

OPENING DAY!!!!!! Brown strikes out the side with a walk to Trout. I love some of the first game stats.

I've advocated to facilities upgrades for forever on this site (since I created an account). I used to catch a lot of ridicule from the old school mentality of, "it was good enough for my grandparents.. it's good enough now".. when in reality, if you're not providing top notch facilities, then your kids will go somewhere that has them. It's recruiting without recruiting. Plus, knowing that these tax rate increases are so small in the grand scheme of things.. it's beyond my level of comprehension why communities wouldn't want a school they're proud to show off. There's an enormous sense of pride associated with knowing that other schools are potentially jealous of what you have when they come to visit. Just pass the bond. Upgraded facilities will have a positive impact on your students' experiences for long after you've died.

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.

Enjoyed the game tonight. LJM was on fire. I like B. Matthews. He's got game. GO ASTROS! Good guys win!

But but b b biden... never gets old ⏳️

Simple solution. Don’t feed the troll.

I guess Buna made the right choice not picking Hillin. Buna beat Kountze twice and Hillin had to be escorted off the field by the police.......

I’ll take a split most anytime. Abreu is such a great pitcher, but when he gets 2 outs and 2 strikes, he has trouble with that last killer strike. Toughest pitch in baseball.

Funny not one of you Democrats complain about the prices when Biden was running the show. Just more made up reasons to gripe.

Also true, wasn’t much but decline is decline. Guess that’s where the administration and community comes into play. Until that rift is fixed it will probably stay status quo.

I gave up when he lost the argument about ‘better’ Real ID’s having an effect on voter security in New York, Minnesota, and Vermont. He apparently wasn’t smart enough to check and see that voter ID isn’t required in those States, so having an Enhanced Real ID made no difference at all. Sort of like the argument he used to call out folks who believed in things they can’t see or prove (ie voter fraud), but he then talks about attending church services. Of course, I guess it’s entirely possible he’s seen and scientifically proven God’s existence. Me, I tend to have to go on faith.

How can one disagree? We already have 1 loss.

3-0 loss. Well, we can't go 162-0.

Do you ever get tired of reading conspiracy theories?

We are not sure if he really lost 2020........

Absolutely true! There’s a much better chance of being competitive since we’ve dropped but there is little to no willingness to make our district appealing from this administration. Frustrating!

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.

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.

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

No, sir… most people were appalled at what happened Charlie Kirk, and disgusted by the way that those on the left celebrated his passing. But every time someone on the left passes, decent people are also saddened, but definitely don’t celebrate anyone’s death. The problem is that the President of the United States keeps taking to social media to celebrate every time someone on the left dies… and his supporters still can’t say “that’s wrong.” They say “well, we didn’t elect him to be PC. That’s just Trump being Trump. Do you blame him after they investigated him?” It’s one thing for some liberal fruitcake college kid to celebrate like an idiot when Charlie Kirk died. It’s completely indefensible when the freaking President keeps doing it. The man who is supposed to lead the country hates half of it. Don’t believe me? Read his post from this morning. Believe him-he keeps saying it.

Looks like I'm late to the party. As some of you know, I used to be a regular contributor. And I've always been pretty quick to let my feelings be known when I agree/disagree with a comment. Years ago, I would often give little personal attacks - especially on the football forum (ironic, huh); however, I quit doing that quite a while back. Should've never done it in the first place. It was all in fun for me, but not everyone takes it that way. I quit posting as much because it doesn't feel like discussion or even a spirited argument anymore. It's continual bashing from both sides, and I don't think either side is changing any of the other side's minds. Kinda the way this entire country is going these days, really. I still like to get on and look and read from time to time. I may even comment. But it's lost some of the glow for me. And if I'm being honest AAW, for a while you really made me question whether or not I would ever login again. That was quite a few year's ago, but it's always stuck with me. I realize and understand that this is a privately held site that can do as they please and run it however they want, but I didn't feel right about commenting on this topic without saying this. No hard feelings and it's all good, but it was definitely a bothersome issue for me. All that being said, I'll end this post with this: "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" -Proverbs 15:1 "My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry..." -James 1:19

Only if his mother was an illegal alien. Did she sneak into this country?
