  4. What do you think about the use of "Lady", "Rebel" or "Indian" as mascot names?

    Didn't intend for this to be a contentious thread ... I was curious what folks around here thought about these issues. I saw an original post on the volleyball thread and thought it would get a bigger audience on the football thread.
    I read an interesting article about the origination of the term "redskin" ... Apparently bounty hunters back in the 1800s were paid good money for all the Indian scalps they could collect and turn in to traders. They would sell skins, furs and pelts of various animals, including the "redskins" of killed American Indian men, women and children. Is it true? Who knows.
    In regards to the Rebels mascot, Sour Lake High School used to have a Rebels mascot. When integration took place and it became Hardin-Jefferson High School, the mascot was changed to the Hawks.

    When I worked in the sports department at The Enterprise it was a ironclad rule that writers not use "lady" in front of a team's mascot. That included Lamar sports. The idea was that by qualifying the team as a "lady" rather than just the mascot's name we were diminishing the role of women's sports and demeaning to women in general. Yet, the first person to scream bloody murder was the women's volleyball coach at Lamar at the time. "We are the Lady Cardinals!" she said. As far as I know, the rule still stands ... not sure if it's enforced though. Honestly, the only one that ever bothered me was the shortened version of any team called the Bulldogs ... as in the "Lady Dogs" ... just something distasteful about it I guess.

  8. ANOTHER QUESTION????

    in SETXsports Archived Threads

    Posted

    The Silsbee Bee is ALWAYS at Silsbee football games to take pictures. In fact, we have staffed every Silsbee game with a photographer AND a writer, which is unheard of for most weekly newspapers. Brent moved to Beaumont and his job keeps him late most days. He asked to move to the Lumberton beat since it was closer and easier for him to get to. There have been a few games where Brent shot Silsbee games this season, allowing me the opportunity to get pictures of Kountze or Evadale. Otherwise, I've been shooting Silsbee games every Friday night, including the tsunami week against West Orange-Stark.
    I will often put photos of those games on this Web site as a courtesy to those who follow Silsbee football. Brent does the same for Lumberton fans. My first priority is to make sure we have photos for the newspaper and we run a booster page every week with as many as 20 photos from each Tigers game.
    For those interested in Silsbee football photos, you can check out my Web site at www.gldphotography.com

  10. what game do you thin will be game of the year in 2009

    In District 21-3A it has to be Silsbee's win over West Orange-Stark.

    Here's why:

    1. Silsbee loses three games against Lumberton, Newton, Jasper by a combined total of 11 points. Silsbee needed a big win to get this season on track and to shut the mouths of the nay-sayers as to whether the Tigers could finish the big games or not.

    2. Silsbee proved it's not a one-faceted offense-only team. Silsbee is proud, and lucky, to have Jeremy Johnson as quarterback. The win against West Orange-Stark proved the Tigers' defense had finally come together and can stop the big teams at the critical moments.

    3. West Orange-Stark had not lost a district game since dropping to 3A in 2004 ... making history is always huge.

    4. West Orange-Stark was state-ranked and because of the loss to Silsbee, dropped out of the top 10 list.

    5. Silsbee ends a five-game losing streak and is now No. 1 in 21-3A as the only team with a 2-0 record.

    CHECK THE STICKY TOPICS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE FOR THE STAT LEADERS ...

    Sorry it took me so long guys ...

    The Silsbee Bee did previews for homecoming and Cruise N Silsbee ... so we were slammed this week.

    But ... they're done now.

    I did this week's as an image file, which allowed me to better tab the results. I think they are easier to read.

    Plus, you can copy and save the file to your computer if you like.

    Again, if you have corrections or additions, please let me know at [email protected]

    Thanks everyone ...

  14. Silsbee Tigers VS. West Orange-Stark Mustangs who takes this mega game?

    in SETXsports Archived Threads

    Posted

    Silsbee has been too close in some big games not to have one breakthrough win against a top-quality opponent. Heartbreakers against Newton and Jasper should have these guys primed for an all-out battle with West Orange-Stark. Not that WO-S will lay down ... not at all. My concern is that Silsbee's greatest strength is its passing game, in spite of a young and undersized offensive line. Jeremy succeeds because he can move out of the pocket, find a receiver and get the ball there, on a dime, when he has to. Only this Friday night, we're looking at a good chance for some pretty nasty weather. That means a war in the trenches ... not sure the Tigers are up for that kind of battle. If they were, we would have seen some semblance of it in earlier games.
