Maybe pitching has just gotten better !?

Maybe pitching has just gotten better !?

I recommend going to camps of the schools of interest. Coaches get to see a lot more from the players talent to personality. 

I thought that was the goal!  I wouldnt be happy if I  didnt hear that at least once a week.
Forums and sports boards are not for the kind hearted.  So if you came here looking for love, friends or any justification then you set yourself up for failure lol
 

Actually, since Coach Thompson has been in place, WO-S does not suit out all of its JV for post season games.  While I would like to tell to you that it comes out of some sort of lesson that he is trying to teach the kids on the subvarsity teams that they have to earn it, the explanation is a lot simpler. 
It comes down to money.
It is just the fact that as schools like WO-S and Hardin-Jefferson are schools who have decreased size and thus, decreased athletic budgets.  And in Sour Lake, that decreased budget got stretched even further with the recent realignment which significantly increased the travel the Hawk teams have to make to meet their district opponents.  Sometimes, a line has to be drawn and where that line stands is not always in a great place.
Sure, I would have loved to see every sub-varsity player get to suit up at Minute Maid, NRG or any other pro facility that one of schools get the opportunity to play for.  Coach Sloan and Coach Kirkland likely share that wish.  But when the money ain't there, the money ain't there.
Yes, I know I will hear from folks from other schools, "Welcome to our world!"  Quite frankly, I don't know how folks like Evadale, Big Sandy, Sabine Pass and High Island do it given the travel schedules to district games and even more onerous, the travel schedule that being in Region IV will present.  But I am sure that Coach Williams, Coach Hooker, Coach Laird and Coach Bronkhorst have the same lines that they have to draw to pull it off.
   

Highly doubt he would of suited up the JV at NRG...maybe for a playoff game but not for a district game in a nice stadium...That's all it was...a district game in a Pro stadium and sub varsity parents feel like their kids DESERVE to travel and suit up?  Quit griping HJ parents, your creating a very snobby overview of all the HJ parents who I'm sure know this is not an issue nor should it be. 

Dear HJ Athletic Director
   Please inform all of us here on the internet of all your moves from now on. Otherwise you will be considered a shady heartless bast^%$d. Also since we are doing this we might as well know the rationale behind EVERY ATHLETIC DIRECTOR in the entire areas decision from here on out otherwise they will join the category of shady heartless bast^%$d also.....

We also want to know what you had for dinner last night and what your favorite sitcom is
 
 
 

First off they did dress the juniors who are on JV and moved them up for the rest of the season. The rest of the JV team is made up of freshman. The reason they did not dress them was because they had a game on Tuesday. You can only play one weekday game during a school week and if they had dressed them for this game then they would have all been ineligible for the Tuesday game. Huffman did not dress their JV either. Many of the JV kids came to the game on the football bus or with parents. The plan I have heard is to continue trying to do this program. That will give the kids that didn't play this year incentive to stay with the program and work towards playing at Minute Maid.

HJ lost a heartbreaker to Tarkington tonight 5-3 in the bottom of 8th with 2 run homer

Baseball is by far my favorite sport.    The time we spend with our dads (sometimes mom too) growing up lead to so many memories.  My son is a senior this year, and we have lived in many different communities.  He has played little league, all-stars and travel ball leaving us with great connections all over the Golden Triangle.  We love keeping up with all those old friends and seeing how their HS careers have progressed.  
    It seems this year there has been a marked decrease in posting.  You can get 20 pages in the HS Football thread on who the better back-up punter would be.  But you get major district games at large schools and have 3 generic posts.  HS Basketball will generate views on who's gym has the best nachos.  You've got some great district rivalries, and some close district races. Take some time, brag on your school.  Boast on your kids, and let us know what's happening in these games.  You might think no one is interested, but I guarantee someone will appreciate you posting and it will be read.

HJ scored two in the 6th for 2-1 win.

The Silsbee Tigers will travel to Sour Lake to take on the Hardin Jefferson Hawks in a non-district tune up for these old district foes. The Tigers are 15-6 in the past 21 game against the Hawks splitting the series last year and Silsbee with a 6-2 win in the Jasper Tournament earlier this year. It will be a early start as the JV will start at 2:30 and Varsity will start at 4:30.

Jasper vs. Hardin-Jefferson in Champ. 

HJ was up 9-1 

Well since you are such a great HJ Fan(with no kids on the team) why not try being a little more supportive instead of all the negative you're throwing out there. I sure hope those Sophomores make you eat crow this coming week. From what I hear Sloan is also big on work-ethic and leadership; so if a kid is out there busting his butt every day vs. a kid sitting back and just going thru the motions who would you put in? That being said I wouldn't think Sloan would just put a kid out there to "build a program" and risk his job/credibility when there is a better kid sitting on the bench. 

Chill Sally and TD, Chuk is not a vindictive type of person. That's his opinion as is your remarks is your opinion. He has had Mustangs back on this board more times than I can count. He at least puts his name out there and is not afraid to agree or disagree with what he thinks is right. I don't think he personally attacked anyone as you did him. Put your name out there if your gonna attack.
 
A coach will go as far as his talent takes him as long as he has the team behind him. A coach affects lives both positively and negatively so there will always be two sides. Bottom line ask the kids who played for Ronnie Anderson or even Chuk's hall of fame father what they meant to them. The best judge of a coach is the players who play for them. If the coach has the kids respect he is a good coach whether he wins games or not. There are certain coaches my kids would run through a brick wall for and others they might not even open the door for.  It is not my place to judge our coach even if I disagree with him, only for me to support the team, which I will under any circumstances even after my kids are out the door (as will they).
 
If we win district or have a good run in the playoffs then Chuk is wrong, if they continue to play like they did last night then maybe he is right. Time will tell. Both of you are entitled to your opinion but it shouldn't be personal on this board.
