20 YEARS OF SETXSPORTS!!!!
Silsbee92 and 16 others reacted to AggiesAreWe for a topic
SETXsports is now 20 years old!! December 2005, owner @jdawg03 started this website to promote our local high schools sports. It was a way for the fans to be a part of the sports scene here locally. Over the years, this site has grown from just a small little message board site to one of Southeast Texas media staples. Adding our broadcasts and other social media entities, SETXsports has become one of the states biggest and best high school sports websites. I personally want to thank all our staff (admins/mods/broadcasters) for all the work put in to make this website what it is today. Also, thanks to our over 45,000 members (past and present) for being a big part of the success of this site. Couldn't have done any of it without you guys. So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SETXsports!! 20 years!!17 points -

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 checkers11 points -
Port Neches-Groves vs. South Oak Cliff Predictions
southoakcliffintellectual and 10 others reacted to CS. for a topic
What else are we supposed to say honestly? You guys (I love your stuff, no kidding) but you promote and glorify teams along with the UIL who gain advantages. Everyone knows what's coming and it's extremely difficult to compete with it. And somehow it's "racist" to bring up recruiting? Still haven't figured that one out. It is what it is man. The rules are there that allow it currently but it doesn't impress me. They have the most transfers in the state. That should not be allowed OR the school should be able to do it if they move up to a much higher classification. It's common sense to most but not all for some reason. Crown them. We are still coming, and we are bringing hell with us.11 points -

Silsbee's Joe Sigler to retire...../ Cornelius Brown is new HC
lil brother and 9 others reacted to Preach for a topic
It has truly been a pleasure officiating for Coach Sigler over the years. His professionalism and integrity in the game of high school basketball were evident every time his team stepped on the court. What set him apart was not just his knowledge of the game, but the respect he consistently showed to officials—even in moments where a call was questionable, he never tried to embarrass or demean. He addressed concerns with composure and always maintained the standard of respect. Coach Sigler also went above and beyond by allowing me to come speak to his team on multiple occasions, giving insight on officiating and teaching the do’s and don’ts from a referee’s perspective. That openness to educate and bridge the gap between coaches, players, and officials is a rare and appreciated quality. Wishing Coach Sigler a happy and well-deserved retirement. Your legacy of leadership, character, and respect will continue to influence the game and those who play it for years to come.10 points -
Congratulations to Coach HH and the entire staff for representing SETX and 9-4AD2. Coaches have stuck to their process and now that they have better talent they have achieved higher results. Coaches have produced high level game plans and made strategic in game adjustments as they have since they took over at WOS. Now, all roads lead to Carthage who have a better player at nearly every position other than MLB and possibly a DL spot. Friday's outcome will not be the result of incompetent coaching, and it will most definitely not be because WOS ran a "50 defense" instead of a "50 defense". Regardless of the final result Coaches and WOS players have done a great job and even more so given the poison from segments of the fan base.9 points

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.8 points -
Silsbee long time Assistant Coach Ira Brooks
lil brother and 7 others reacted to AggiesAreWe for a topic
Silsbee assistant coach Ira Brooks will be coaching his last home game tomorrow night. Coach Brooks will be retiring at the end of this season. Coach Brooks has been coaching at Silsbee for 32 years. He has been a mainstay and key component to the success of the Tiger Basketball program. His JV teams have always been successful and have won many district championships even when several freshmen and sophomores were playing varsity. Coach Brooks has earned the respect and love from many coaches in our area. He has been a fantastic coach but an even better man. He will be missed. Congrats to my friend Ira.8 points -

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.7 points

TABC State Rankings/Updated Feb. 23 FINAL RANKING
lil brother and 6 others reacted to AggiesAreWe for a topic
A few other interesting points about these preseason rankings: Atascocita could be pretty special this season. They are playing in several national tourneys and one day events. They will be battle tested come district time. Some say this is the year for Baytown Sterling to replace Barbers Hill in the playoffs. If that happens, then United would go DII and that could provide an opportunity for both Beaumont schools to make it to San Antonio. Will be interesting to see. Looks like Orangefield and East Chambers will again battle for district supremacy. If Kountze fails to make playoffs and Anahuac does, that would send East Chambers to DII. My money is still on Kountze getting in the post season. San Augustine could make some noise in the region. They have a new coach as well. Big Sandy is back in the rankings after a "un Big Sandy" type season last year. Brookeland again head and shoulders above the local 1A's but the district that 28-1A faces in the 1st round is loaded. 27-1A has #10 Wells, #11 Kennard and #12 Groveton Centerville along with an always tough Broaddus team. Getting close to that time of year. Looking forward to another great basketball season.7 points -
Trump makes unproven link between autism and Tylenol
outanup and 6 others reacted to AggiesAreWe for a topic
But the hype is stating that Tylenol causes Autism. That simply isn't the case. How do I know this? Because my wife never took Tylenol while pregnant yet my youngest son has Autism. The rise in Autism is because now we are able to diagnose it much better and sooner than we have ever have. Back in the day, folks didn't know what it was and simply misdiagnosed. My son was diagnosed as a 2 year old. We were first alerted by a school developmental specialist based on his behavior and skill set. She recommended us to a developmental psychologist and through some testing was then diagnosed. I just think this is being blown out of proportion and Trump needs to be able to point a finger. There are several drugs that women shouldn't take while pregnant. This just seems like a witch hunt. If we are going to reach for causes of Autism, then the first thing to look at is the amounts of mercury in vaccinations. I believe there is more substance to that claim than Tylenol. My wife and I never really got into the "what caused this" thing. Yes we asked questions but that was just briefly. After coming to grips with the diagnose (and that took some time) we then went into how do we manage this and what can we do to help our son. Took a lot of growing pains, some setbacks and personal struggles. But in the end, we believe we did the best we could and our son is striving as a 30 year old adult with Autism. Best thing we were ever told when we were dealing with all this was something a friend said to us at a grocery store. We were talking to her about our son and how we were struggling with all that comes with Autism. She said to us and I quote. "You guys will do just fine. God chose you two to be Reid's parents. He knows that you guys are the perfect parents for him. It is not a curse, it's a blessing to be his parents." That stuck with us till this day. IMO, there is no real root cause to Autism.7 points -
I’m hoping they actually have the right guy this time. I was leaning with some of you that it looked more and more like a professional job. Hopefully we know the truth. I am going to post one thing here though in general. Reading this thread is almost as depressing as social media, on both sides. At least no one is celebrating a man’s murder here that I’ve seen. But those of you who are proclaiming it’s only the liberals or the Dems who do this need to expand your source of information or remove your head from the sand or your nether regions, as applicable. Specifically, I would direct your attention to the murder of Melissa Hortman, the speaker of Minnesota’s House of Representatives and her husband, both democrats (oh and their dog). The man indicted for their murder, is a self proclaimed evangelical Christian. He allegedly targeted them and other prominent democrats in Minnesota because of their politics. I didn’t read every single post in this thread so I apologize if this has already been mentioned. But these murders occurred less than 90 days ago. I did go back through this page and couldn’t find a thread dedicated to these senseless killings. I am very glad that I didn’t find one blaming Republicans and/or evangelical Christians for their deaths. Because that would be as dumb and/or unfair as blaming an entire party or segment of a part for Charlie’s death. We know next to nothing at this point other than a good man, husband and father was senselessly executed. And while I think a lot of many of you who post here, whether I agree or disagree with you, if you are one of those who rushes to get to a keyboard and politicize these tragedies, I hate to break it to you but YOU are part of the problem.7 points

Government Run Grocery Store
thetragichippy and 6 others reacted to bullets13 for a topic
I worked in inner city Beaumont for 15 years, exclusively with families below the poverty line. Lots of them do things right, but lots of them abuse the system. To pretend the abuse isn’t rampant is silly. As someone who devoted what will end up being around half of my professional career to helping and working with the impoverished, I have no issue with more restrictions on what government handouts are used for. Nobody should starve, but other people’s tax money shouldn’t be spent on luxuries.7 points -

I don't like to get involved in any hiring process or campaign for anyone. But if it was up to me, I would promote Ira Brooks to the head coach position and make his son Jacob 1st assistant and be HC in waiting for a few more years till Ira retires. I do realize that neither are certified but I personally would make this exception and would be able to give time for Jacob to get certified. I believe Ira has earned it.7 points -

Breaking News - TRUMP to release EPSTEIN files and client list!
bullets13 and 5 others reacted to thetragichippy for a topic
Here is my take. I'm middle/upper, closer to middle class even though I have never felt like it. Within reason, I buy what I want, when I want, and manage to contribute to 401K and still have money to put in accessible savings. FYI, I bring my lunch to work daily and do not eat out often. I think we are spoiled as a country. I grew up never wanting for nothing. We did not eat out every night, my Mom cooked every day, We also didn't eat steak, it was mostly rice and gravy (round steak-cheap), chicken and pork chops....all cheap. I was blessed that my father shrimped on the weekends, so after he paid for his fuel selling shrimp, we got the extra. I actually got tired of shrimp and crabs.....which I would of thought was impossible. While prices are higher, Pork chops and chicken are still cheap enough, along with beans and rice, you can feed a family very reasonably. The problem is, we have been brain washed that everyone is equal and that is simply not true. A perfect example is years ago when I was single, I hung out with a Doctor and attorney who were also single.....After a couple months of living their lifestyle, looking at my bank account, we were NOT equal.....I could not afford to do what they did. A very expensive lesson in economics...not everyone us equal. As far as the Epstein files, only a very small percent of people care anymore, and majority are Trump haters hoping there is something that will make him look bad. I am 100% convinced that Biden admin would of added that to all the other tings they accused him of during the Biden term. The victims have stated they never seen Trump do anything inappropriate and he never went to Island. So, we can keep talking about it, but it will not change anything - Trump is still a powerhouse politically....6 points -

BC/LCM watch scandal?
CavemanFootballJunkie and 5 others reacted to AggiesAreWe for a topic
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.6 points -

Midland ISD Votes to Revert Legacy High School Back to Lee!

In the BISD case, the naming of the stadium was strictly a school board kissing butt. Majority of community wasn't really behind it. (including part of the black community). The school board made the decision without any input from the community. Only a very small portion of the community want the stadium name to go back to Thomas. Might be a loud portion, but definitely not the majority. I can't speak on the Midland community and how the majority of it's community wanted the Lee name back. Sounds like their voices were heard. I think it's different due to what the majority wants from both these communities.6 points -
