I have to ask....have you ever seen their off season workouts? Those kids work just as hard or harder than any kids in the area. They don't need a power lifting program to become strong. Most of those kids would not even be in power lifting.....they play baseball and basketball as well. I don't think they off season program is a problem, you might because your not seeing a change in your son because he does not do the extra work. The main problem is genetics. I've said it before....at the hill a 4.6 is really fast. You can't teach a kid to run a 4.4. That's on genetics. Now maybe there is a coach out there that can win with these kids, but better not bring the spread. There is not a QB in the school that can throw, and that includes those that quit to play just baseball. Gage was about to have a lot of kids quit because he lost them. There are some other coaches on staff that lost those kids as well. Question is will the next coach be given the ability to clean house like Gage did? Don't think that's a good idea. Every coach that Gage brought in did not stay the whole time he was there.....most left or was forced to leave. Will be an interesting off season

I am a texas fan, but if the horns loose today they will likely go 0-6 to start this season and I would be surprised if Strong makes it to the last year of his contract

I don't have the power to fire him.....but somebody does.

This is a must win game for Strong and his horns......and they may get beat.....rice is not a push over this year

Brennan does not have anybody that throws harder than 85 either.

dont know about the GCM pitcher, but if GCM can hit a curve ball Vidor may be in trouble. I've seen a couple of Vidor games this year and have never seen that many breaking balls thrown by a pitcher in one game. BUT they did win those games so I guess it worked in their district.

It's an INDIVIDUAL award in a TEAM sport. It, to me, ranks WAY down on my list of cares. Since it is an individual award, I have no problem using the stats to determine who wins. Ask the player what they'd rather have, a Nation Championship or POY...no contest. If you were picking a team, I think > 90% of people choose Walker over Jimmer. Both are tremendous players and were/are fun to watch play!

ok. here is the truth about this draft that is spoken of and the things that have been said about me.  Yes there is a draft at the end of the tryouts.  It was a Central league tryout that had around 350 to 400 players trying out.  It lasted 2 days. Bangor( which was in the Northeast league) was owed some players and had first pick of every player there.  The draft was limited to the players there.  Neither of these leagues exist anymore.  The names have been changed.  It is pro ball.  Your getting paid.  Now, I was told that I could not pitch at the D1 level, but all that did was drive me to prove him wrong.  I was not the #1 pitcher at McNeese for both years I was there, but was the last year for a while.  And yes AJ25 you are right about me throwing 81 when I was a freshman at Lamar.  You listened well when I told you that at practice. Hope your doing well at Lon Morris.  Now what I want out there is not the path I had to take, its what these kids need to understand is it takes hard work to get to the next level.  Although Gilligan told me I was not that good, he gave me a chance and that got my foot in the door.  I had to work my butt off to do what I did and had some luck along with that.        This is probably one of the only post you will see from me, but I wanted to clear some things up.  For those of you that know me and want a full detail of what I had to do to earn a scholarship just call me.  They don't come easy.  Coaches at that level are trying to build winning programs and they don't just hand them out.  There is a lot of talent in this area that diserves looks, but that does not garantee money.  College sports is more of a buisness now than it has ever been.  Those coaches get paid to win.  They have to do whatever it takes to get the players they need that can give them the best chance to do that.     Hope this cleared some things up.  If not.....sorry     McKeller

I am sure that the Sundevils had everything to do with these kids signing with a college team.  its starting to look as though kids don't even need to play in high school. They should just play select ball and listen to the guys that they are going to lessons to.  I wounder what the high school coaches think about all this credit going to the sundevils and hardly none at all to them.

ok if you were at the scrimmage and know the rules then you should know this. That int that was ran back for a touchdown did not count as a td. If you were watching Silsbee got the ball at Luberton's 25 or so and then scored on a screen pass. You don't get two tds for that. Now in response to people saying that the Lumberton's "team" is talking trash, it's not the players it's the stupid people that live in Lumberton. All the players do is play. They may get on here and read the crap that is posted on here, but they don't talk. I truely don't know how the players feel about the Silsbee scrimmage, but I'm sure they are not satisfied. Any team that is satisfied with winning a scrimmage is in big trouble.

are you sure they don't have any freshman playing varsity? I though there was a pitcher/firstbasemen that was a freshman. How many seniors do they have playing should be the question. And when is the talent going to show up. Little league all stars don't automatically mean they are talented either

don't blame the AD. The one that is there now is good for the athletic program as a whole. All sports will get better at Lumberton. Even baseball, as long as the parents stay out of things and the kids continue to work. Go out and prove people wrong.

does it really matter who's coming back or who left. I predict neither HF or HJ makes the playoffs. They're not good enough.
