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!!

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

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.

I don't know. According to the peanut gallery, MH has inside info that will provide them the win. 😉

While I would have liked to see them score a TD and make it a closer game, what a great and fun season for those boys. They brought some life and Cardinal spirit the likes of which Larry Ward stadium hasn’t seen in years! What a fun ride it’s been! It’s a great day to be a Cardinal!

Ladies and gentlemen... Here's your chance. Prove yourself as the top football guru of SETXsports and add your name to the list of legends... @AggiesAreWe @Bobcatfan4life @bullets13 @H-STING @KF89 @MrUmp1 @no-look @One4All @Pepper Brooks @WOSdrummer99 and many more Free contest - Open to everyone Each weeks games will post on Sunday Ends Friday at 7pm (subject to change) NO COPYING! Have Fun!

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.

Do we still want to fire the coach? Or.. not yet? Or.. never mind? Just making sure I’m keeping up.

Lol. I have been on this board from the start; way longer than you have, and a couple of other boards before this one. Believe me, your not going to hurt my feelings. But whatever personal axe you have to grind with the program or the coaches, you need to sort that out. There is a difference between constructive criticism and just being negative about everything, and you haven't said a positive thing about anything on here. You don't see me on here saying that Ned is going to win district or go deep in the playoffs but there are positives and negatives in every game especially when you have teenage boys playing.

His dad is my source. Again, I will let them make it official as to where he is going.

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.

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.

Best team to come out of PA ever Hell of a time to loose ya 1st game. So proud how they didn't quit when down by 10 I know 1st hand how they all feel Congratulations to Coach Morgan Congratulations to those Might Titans You made us all proud

Word I received is that Bailey will not play against Ennis but is hopeful to play in 3rd round. I have been told the extent of his injuries but that doesn't need to be publicized here. That's for his family and school to announce.

Can we change the title to Chambers/Jefferson/Brazoria County all stars vs Buna??? Im rolling with the homegrown coogs in this one. Will have to play mistake free and do what Hardin did as far as holding the ball. Just have to execute in the red zone and finish drives.

The Big Ned Network will be streaming Nederland home games only this year and possibly progress to home and away next year. This is student led with the work of several student groups. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]==

Big congratulations to Bellville Head Volleyball Coach Susan Brewer on career win #1306 and becoming the all time wins leader for Texas High School Volleyball. In 50 years of coaching in Bellville she has a resume of 1306 wins 9 State Championships 5 State Runner ups 6 State Semi finalist 20 Regional Championships 26 Regional Appearances 39 won or Co District Championships and still counting!!

The Dave Campbell's crew will be live at the Birdville Fine Arts Complex for the UIL Realignment announcemnet on Monday Feb 2, we''ll go on the air at 845am. Greg Tepper will host and I'll be on for analysis. We'll have a few DFW area coaches on along with an interview with the UIL. The broadcast is free across all Dave Campbell's platforms, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, TexanLive, etc.

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.

Coaching matters. A lot! But having really good players matters more. It's been proven over and over again.

Final 71-62 Bridge City BIG TIME UPSET!!! Congrats Bridge City!!! The better team won.

Update on the victim "He's recovering. He's gonna have to push but he should make a 100% recovery."

Probably won't last another year. Need to fire all the moderators. The members have no talent Yours truly, Spidersal!!

This has gone long enough. When folks start talking about race of the coach, that ends the thread.

They are and for that reason I hope UIL moves PNG and Nederland back to Reg 3… no reason to be playing DFW schools in bidistrict or this early in the playoffs…

Thank you for your Commitment , Bravery , and Sacrifice for our country!!!! America would not be what it is without you.

Congrats to our regular season winner @One4All Thanks to everyone for playing and making it another fun competition. It's not over yet though. There's still 2 chances for bragging rights with both playoffs and overall season winners to be determined. We'll have to prepare fast and be ready for EARLY LOCK TIMES now that we move into playoff mode. Good luck here and on the field the rest of the way. Safe travels my friends.

Don’t know him but have heard this from multiple sources I know and trust. Now stop trying to lend sanity and reason to this otherwise trainwreck of a thread. P.S. to mods - can we lift Cardinal Backer’s suspension for this thread only? I feel like he was made for this thread.

Port Arthur. I like our chances advancing this year

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.

Nope you're listening to the Scott Rich Nederland team who cant finish games

Sadly, a lot of school districts choose to let the pervert resign so they don't have to report it and take the time to go to court. If you remember several years ago a Memorial coach was jailed for this and when it came out that there were allegations at other schools, the girl sued those schools. I don't remember the outcome of the lawsuits. My favorite professor at Lamar, Coach John Payton, always told us to never be alone with any of your students. I have lived by his advice now for 33 years.

And that concludes the 2025-26 high school basketball season. Congrats to all the state champions and to all our coverage area teams that had fantastic seasons. Time for me to get some rest and relaxation. Probably won't see much of me around here after college basketball is over. Like the great Forest Gump said "I'm pretty tired, think I'll go home now".

Proud of how hard the Bobcats have continued to compete. Lot of heart on the floor and on the bench.

This is the first time in school history that Bridge City has made it to the 3rd round of the playoffs. Also, their current 14 game win streak is the longest in school history. Definitely an historical season for the Cards.

I live in Port Neches, but I send my kids to SOC.

This is what I do know. There are certain people in this fan base that don’t have any knowledge of football and no school spirit but just show up to cause confusion. This may be the case here, however, there seem to be belligerent people like this In all of our local fan bases.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. 😎

UMMM...not really because the UIL put: West Orange, Silsbee, Hamshire-Fannett, Jasper, Shepherd, and Tarkington in front of you and you opted up. Sorry, just the truth.

no probably to it, and the tigers absolutely deserved that hardware. It's one thing to run into a team that's better than you, another thing entirely to be a town of less than 7,000 people and run into an AAU team recruiting from 13 districts and millions of people.

My two cents re: ArmbandGate. There may not be evidence that stealing the armband (That’s what it was. The instant he intentionally did not return the armband to its rightful owner while knowing it wasn’t his to keep, it became a theft) helped LCM win the game, but it’s evidence that at least one LCM coach (1) stole from another team, (2) lied when he had an obligation to tell the truth, and (3) took steps to cover up his theft even while direct inquiries were being made to him about the armband’s location and what he did with it. That has to be punished. If an attorney did something like this in a trial he might be disbarred. And, the team should have had to forfeit the game. Letting LCM skate on this invites exactly the message people are making here today, that “it must not have been that big of a deal if it didn’t warrant a forfeit.” It’s very much a big deal, an astonishing example of bad faith and dishonesty from a public employee in charge of children. It was a blatant violation of sportsmanship, human decency, and the law. Most of us will remember that in 2018 PNG had to forfeit a game they won against Crosby under less severe circumstances. A coach had an iPad in the press box - Against the rules. So, even though it was agreed by the district members that there had been no effect on the game’s outcome, PNG was forced to forfeit. There was no lying, or hiding evidence by PNG as there was by LCM - it was simply, “You broke a rule and we have to send a message.” LCM broke the rules, and the district should have sent a stronger message.

The ignorance from this ordeal is laughable. It's a lot of LCM support or justification of obvious cheating. Did it completely dictate the result of the game? No. Did it play a role in the result of the game? Yes. Understanding tendencies or deciphering hand signals is gamesmanship, but having your hands on electronics your opponent uses to relay plays is full blown cheating. Both of these teams are good and based off the second half score it's a one possession game that could have gone either way. Player discovers opponents wrist band and then brings it to his coach. Coach gives the wrist band to the ref and it is returned to the team it belongs to and you play ball. It's that simple of a scenario that could have happened but when nobody was looking the wrong decision was made to gain a competitive advantage.

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

Here is a list of the teams that have clinched the playoffs with two weeks left of the regular season. This list is only teams that have actually clinched. Not teams that are likely to make playoffs or could or should. Just the ones that HAVE punched their ticket to the playoffs. Teams are listed in alphabetical order and not by seed. Lot's of seeding still left to be determined. 23-6A CE King, North Shore 9-5A DI Port Arthur Memorial (district champs) 11-5A DI Angleton, La Porte 8-5A DII Montgomery, Port Neches-Groves 10-4A DI Bridge City, Huffman, Little Cypress-Mauriceville, Lumberton 9-4A DII West Orange-Stark 9-3A DI Fairfield 10-3A DI East Chambers, Hardin 12-3A DII Newton, Woodville 11-2A DI San Augustine 12-2A DII Evadale, West Sabine 12-1A DI Chester 21 teams have clinched. Still need 25 more. 10-4A DI has all 4 of their playoff spots clinched. Last two weeks of the season will be very interesting.

Based on rivalries, district championships and playoff implications, here is a list of some big and important games for this week, Week 9: Atascocita at North Shore Cita clinging to playoff hopes, NS trying to stay in district title contention PA Memorial at Lufkin District championship on the line United vs. West Brook Beaumont Bowl, both teams looking for a playoff spot La Porte at Crosby Both teams undefeated in district play, a win keeps each in district championship position Lake Creek at Huntsville Winner has the inside track to the 3rd spot and possibly 2nd. PN-G at Nederland MCM, nuff said LC-M at Bridge City District championship on the line, winner stays undefeated Silsbee at WO-S Same as LC-M/BC, Shepherd at Jasper Winner gets a playoff spot, loser most likely out Hardin at Anahuac Hardin trying to solidify their district championship hopes, Anahuac trying to improve their playoff position Anderson-Shiro at Kountze Winner gets a playoff spot Deweyville at West Hardin Winner gets 3rd, loser most likely 4th West Sabine at Evadale District championship to the winner San Augustine at Shelbyville SA with a win gets district championship, Shelbyville looking to stay in the DC hunt. Getting down to crunch time. Lot's riding on these last three weeks.

My once a year post. Last year I pretty Much laid it out how it ended. Trap game and PNG was super flat. I do think without that win last year, Nederland would not be super happy with their coach. IMO it has given them hope, other than last year’s win, Nederland doesn’t have much to be positive about. This year’s take is the same, but different. Trap game? 100%, but Joesph will have us ready to play this year. I do not predict a blow out, but I do not see Nederland winning this game. They will throw the kitchen sink at us, but in the end, little brother will remain little brother. I’ll take PNG. Closer game than most will predict. In the end, without uncle Larry, Nederland is the old Nederland. The rah rahs will say Nederland is better than they have played. Truth is, maybe, but Nederland fans have always lived on the Uncle Larry era. And that’s simply over. PNG for the win.. But on a positive for the Pups, at least you will get some state wide attention this week because of the rivalry aspect. You heard it here first. And if any have taken this post as negative, I do have a peace offering. We have a trophy case across the tracks if any of you would like to come see what relevance looks like!!! PNG….. Enough said……..
