    Just for the record, there are now [b]11[/b] girls playing in college that played for Spindletop 93 (with several more that could have):

    Zuri
    Chloe
    Kaitlyn
    Layken
    Haley
    Emily
    Natalie
    Bianca
    Bailey
    Aaron
    Kelsey

    Surely, the most successful Spindletop team ever!

    Cannot argue with you there Dr. Dave although there is a younger team or two claiming to own the title. One has made it to State Classic league... but lest they forget.. we were a premier level team at one time ! Not taking anything from the young ladies..... that particular team has some very high quality players. Our girls are just not surrendering the title just yet and having a total of 11 girls having played or playing in college still gives the 93's the nod in my humble opinion!

    Madline, Yasmine and the likes could easily be playing at a high level.
  2. This weeks highlights all revolve around the 2011 Super Gold MVP

    Natalie Hagar scored the game winner to lead HBU over UTSA 1-0

    Lamar looses to Air Force 0-3

    U T beats Dayton (#30) 3-2 Strawser has limited minutes in the home opener. As I told her father the life of a freshman dad is Full of ups and downs.... just be there when you can.. you never know when she is going to shine.

    Sam Houston beats Prairie view 1-0

    SFA beats the University of Houston 2-0 Zuri logged around 70 quality minutes
  3. Hughes 93 G was representing this past week.. The legacy lives on !

    Starting with Bailey Fontenot in goal for the Lady Cardinals.. the sophomore goal keeper kept a clean sheet throughout the half against UTSA... Lamar scored in the first half and held the lead throughout the half behind Fontenot. Game ended 1-1. Goal scored against Bailey's Backup.. not her fault it was a  PK.

    Friday night Freshman mid fielder Aaron Strawser played upwards of 35 minutes for the Lady Long Horns... Awesome for a freshman on any team.

    Saturday night is when the fire works started.. with sophomore transfer Emily Hughes partnering up with Natalie Hagar (two former 93G players as well as Natalie being the 2011 Super Gold MVP) for HBU Lady Huskies against another former 93G Caitlyn Stowe for the Sam Houston Bear kats.  Hughes scored a goal that would tie the game up 1-1. And the game would end in a draw. I know Mike and Anna were elated with Emily's performance who usually keep a very humble demeanor of their very talented daughter.

    Finally Zuri Prince and Bianca Garza would meet up in Nacogdoches where the two former teammates would square off. Zuri got the best of the meeting scoring 4 goals and an assist to cap off a career best night.

    All and all and awesome representation of the hard work that Mike Hughes and his former team put in on and off the training field.

    Will keep you posted as more develops.

    Was on Campbell land in Evadale and got off when they told us we could only shoot 120 class or better. Most deer on that lease will not have a chance to get that big even with the new rules.

    I hear ya Piratefan... I have done some serious camera scouting this year and have covered about 3/4 of our 1100 acres.. there were only 2 or 3 that would get the nod of being close to 120...however I have seen an 8pt (with huge G2s) survive (from 2010 to present) by his on craftiness and the fact that when he lingered for 30 minutes in front of two of my friends during the 2010 hunting season he was illegal with a 12 inch inside spread max... fine looking deer I am telling you.. I would have shot and asked questions later. Now today going into the 2012 hunting season he is is a 9 point ( would have never guessed that ) with a non - typical point ( 3 or 4 inches long)... growing between is 7 inch browe tine on his left side and 10 to 11 inch G2... Can you say HOSS.. I have shown pictures of this deer to veteran deer hunters from eastex to Kansas and they all say that this is a Special... Special Eastex deer.. probably pushing top 130's to lower 140's ( friend of mine killed a 157 inch deer on public land just down the road from our lease so they are out there).....Now i get it you can shoot 200 inch deer all over this country and bigger if you got the bucks.. but for a free ranging eastex deer he is a trophy.

    I also get the fact that he is the only deer of his class on our 1100 acres.. last year I had two... a super fine 11pt with split browes (but he has vanished) and this guy....

    I said all that to say this.. I for many years was a brown its down guy.. but now with the help of scouting cams I have seen tha light. There are some great deer out there if they can get to 5yrs old.. and that's the trick.. my super 9 is at least 5.5yrs old cause in 2010 he was a fine 8 pt that was just too narrow.. today he is 15 to 16 plus inside and I would have never guessed it.. I would and many others would tell you he will never be legal 13inches its in his genes to be narrow or more than a 8... never ever but I got proof and if I can figure our how to post pics I will send the proof.

    Now Campbell rules are as follows 14 inch inside OR 3.5 years old. The 3.5 i can deal with because that is not asking much.. that is when most of these bucks or just beginning to look like wall hangers but if you can show a little trigger control... you may find yourself with something very special like the buck I previously mentioned...

    I am telling you I hope he survives another year just to see the improvement if any.. the jury is still out on when a buck really maxes out it's true potential 4.5,5.5,6.5,7.  who knows... I will tell you this if big boy steps out in front of me.. WE will never find out cause I am carry a 300. wby mag  just for this special occasion... ( usually shoot a .2506 thus the name REST IN PEACE .2506 and yall thought that was my initials) to give him a DIRT NAP and brotha I have been burning shells and flinging arrows getting ready.

    13 inch rule works... Campbell mandates will work.. price of leases will probably go up.... but I am going to enjoy tha ride.

    ps  good friend just left a south texas lease to enjoy the piney woods in bronson.. you say WHAT?  He said brotha I can fish ( bass, crappie) play golf and hunt deer in all in one area and have running water.. that's paradise.
  5. Thanks Be Smart!  Attended the meeting in Silsbee was very informative there were a few guys who were on or going to level 3 and all seemed excited about it.  There was one table that believed none of the this management theory would work in East Texas and we are all a bunch of out laws or too uneducated to fill out the required forms accurately or honestly.  I kind of took offense to those comments because most of us are honest and are willing to make the necessary sacrifices to see the improvements down the road... OR as my ol buddy used to say you can always go hunt type 2.. which brings up another common fear that the evil powers that be will raise the lease prices after we help grow all these massive deer... business is business and if it gets above my financial tolerance then there is always the Moore Plantation ( type 2) ! 
  6. Just curious if anyone else is on Campbell property and how you feel about the new hunting mandates. I am a management minded individual and want to see and shoot more quality bucks but being forced to do so has a different flavor than doing it by club or individual want too.. if you know what I mean..
    I am looking forward to the 2012-2013 season.. I have already seen a couple of good bucks that did not get killed last year showing up on my cameras... its cool watching their antlers grow back in.

    I will be at the meeting on June 2nd in Silsbee.

    Anyone on MLD level 2 or 3 and how has that effected your annual hunting experience since there is now a deer quota placed on you lease.
    How would you grade it.

    Major effect - could not shoot but one or two bucks till herd was balanced or improved.

    Little effect - still plenty of buck tags to go around

    No effect - same ol same ol... if you saw em you could take em if you choose to and were legal..

    This is the area I think most concerns our membership that there will not be enough buck tags to go around. (11 members)  To me its like my opening statement ... shooting 11 bucks has never happened since I have been on the lease.. but being told you can only take 3 has a different taste to it.  Irregardless I will stay on the lease in hopes to benefit down the road. It doesn't hurt that I have a great spot and with the recent thinning have one of the last true sanctuary thickets left..
  7. Saw Dewi the other night at his new gig monitoring the soccer training at the club where he works... I told him his Lamar goalie ( Bailey Fontenot) Never looked better... she was making some incredible stops at practice that evening.  Dewi was a different Cat.... but he put that program on the map...SFA barely beat them 1-0 and went on to be conference champs.. I hope they find someone talented... What's the original Jorge Cruz doing?  That would be awesome for him to return to Beaumont... but I do not think his wife is having it. She likes the larger cities.
  8. Since someone I know does not like plugging his on daughter I will.. Chloe Chiasson's St. Edwards squad had some very good results against the Texas Longhorns this spring... A win and a draw! Says a lot for the quality of players being recruited to St. Edwards.

    Speaking of St. Edwards I had a very close friend who has a daughter playing softball and she plans to attend St. Edwards as well and will be coached by  UT alum and US National Team star pitcher Cat Osterman.. one of my favorite softball players of all time.
  9. Those Bears are brutes! In a cute way of course they are ladies off the field.. but on the field they bring it! They were not the third best team in a field of nine....besting teams like Texas Tech, Texas, Kansas and Mizzou in the Big Twelve with a 5-2-1 in that conference  and  15-4-1 Overall for nothing. If you have the opportunity to play them be sure you are well adept at dodging, leaping over or taking the full brunt of a slide tackle with some bad INTENTIONS... because they come early and often... balls played in the air no problem.. they are 5 10 plus across the middle and maybe more and look like the offensive line of the cowboys... the Dallas Cowboys!

    Oh well how did the dainty Lady Jacks do you asked.. Held them to a 0-0 draw after two thirty minute halves and only conceded the winning goal after the second 15 minute overtime with 5 minutes left in the game.

    Zuri started and played all but 5 minutes of the beginning of the second half. Roughly 85 minutes total.

    final score Baylor 1  SFA 0.

    I was very proud of their effort.

    We will meet them again at their place in the regular season  sometime in September and looking for a different ( winning ) result.

    Coach Amato has beefed up our regular season 2012 schedule with matches against Baylor, Texas Tech, LSU and the University of Houston as well.. he is not leaving it to chance that a weak schedule will cost us another bid to the NCAA tournament again next year because we laid an egg in the Southland Conference tournament.  SFA wants some respect.

    No we are not a top twenty five team.. but we deserve a shot to play the best teams in the country.. win loose or draw.
  10. Not relevant to this topic put two spring cup's ago I did a study on cards given and title's won for a particular season. Lonestar the club out of Austin is known for their physical and often considered dirty play.

    I went to the website that showed the National Cup titles ( highest available in Spring Cup Play)  And the Lone Star Club had more cards than Albion, Challenge and Eclipse combined. These are brackets from U11 to U18  but a crazy coincidence they also had 70% or better of the state titles... I do not promote violence in soccer... that's Football... I like composure and tatical precision enhanced by elite atheleticism and speed.

    but their aggression seemed to be rewarded with titles.. I actually watched them try to beat a team  into submission but it actually worked against them... like a boxer they punched themselves out. And the opponent which I was rooting for took charge of the second half and won the game 1- nil!!
