But wouldn't some players get short changed?  You want 11 players both sides.  Ok, cool.  What do you want?  4 D linemen, 3 linebackers, 2 CB's, 2 Safeties?

Offense, 1 QB, 2 RB's, 2 WR's, 1 TE, and 5 o-linemen?  Ok, what do you do with teams that run 5-2 defenses?  3-4 defenses? 3-3-5?  Nickel?  Dime?  I'm offense, you have wing-t that have No WRs...  You have teams that run spread with 4 wr's, 1 rb, no TE? Still 11 on both sides?  And some districts you have all spread teams.  Some districts, you have majority wing-t or slot - t teams...

I get your point, but something needs to be done. These awards have become a joke. My son told me a baseball kid made it last year that only played in 2 games.... 

Pick 11 for offense, 11 for defense for both 1st and 2nd team. Make the award mean something again. You can put as many as you want on honorable mention list 

I can remember a time when the all district awards meant something. I know what you're thinking Mofo is butt hurt. Actually just the opposite my son is on the list and he and I both know he shouldn't be. He had 2 receptions during regular season. Bring back the days when these awards were an honor to receive. 

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.....

The internet keyboard warriors have spoken........

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

Had a play a couple of weeks ago, ball hits corner of pitchers rubber then careens between 3rd and home striking a runner (in foul territory) I called ball foul then was called everything in the book by the coach of team in field. I know I got it right but also know the coach looks at your page so looking for some backup.

Gosh I said I was done: The young man has gotten his punishment and he is wearing it like a man, can we just put this behind us now and let the kid be a kid?

I think these young men need to ask them selves when does it stop, If they are playing college ball and a fellow player is suspended are they going to sit out as well, how about NBA? 

Let this young man serve his punishment and then put it behind him. As I have said the process is rolling and he is on his way to being done. I, and I am sure many others will hold no ill will to him and hope that this will build his character. I did foolish things in my time and served my penance and I know it built my character.

Sitting out games, protesting, and continuing things even like this thread is non-constructive and continues to divide our district and this area.  

Good luck Mr. McCain I said in an earlier thread I was a big fan of yours but I was no longer. That was jumping the gun and a foolish thing to say on my part. I am a big fan since I coached against you in little league football, and will continue to be as long as your good character shines through and I am sure it will.  

this will be my last post on the issue

If there is a thread specifically for the "rally", should it be posted in the Political Forum or the Basketball Forum?

Ok, that is funny I don't care who you are.

The kid messed up along with the others involved but the barbaric nature of his blow is what has people so stirred up. Accept the punishment and in my eyes your slate is clean. I was disgusted with what Michael Vick had done with the dog fighting, but the man stepped up took his lumps and to this day I remain a fan not only of the athlete but of the man he became.

This is a rally to protest the punishment issued. Hope it stays peaceful.

In my opinion this is a mistake and I fail to see how it will help this situation. If nothing is done those attending rally will be angry, if punishment is changed it undermines the system in a whole. The only thing this rally will accomplish is more divide among the area.

The school is not holding the rally. They are allowing folks to be on campus after hours to hold rally. It is not a school run event.

I do not see a difference. If they are allowing a "pep" rally for a player being punished I do not feel this is a step in the right direction.

In regards to the incident that folks are talking about in the BC game, I saw the video. Player did strike BC player in back of head.

 

I saw the BC video also it is a no doubter. 

I was and still am all about this kid getting his punishment along with every other kid on that floor that was involved. Punishment has been dealt and in my book when punishment is served the kid has a clean slate. I hope he learns from this and has a successful career from there on out.  

He along with the town can grow from this incident or opt to let it drag them down, the very near future will tell us which way this will go.

Mofo this is most you have posted all year. How is HJ season going? Will they win state? Will they get out the 1st round?,

Don't know I don't have a kid on varsity is there a point to this post or are you just trying to deflect the view from the topic? To point blankly answer your question, I hate a bully. 

In my opinion if you want to see restraint watch the several LCM players that witnessed the cowardly blow. None of them went after the kid throwing the punch. I am sure most of the restraint was from utter disbelief more than anything.

Kid was wrong I agree so I guess if he was next to him you would justify it

I don't justify any fighting during a sporting match and I hope all involved are suspended, and not a mere til end of district suspension, I believe they should be suspended for the remainder of the season up through and including the state tournament.

I think regardless of suspension the LCM kid started it. It semantic me he was hot headed and couldn't take the beating Silsbee was giving them. 

So justify how the LCM kid throwing a punch (which I hope he is suspended for) has anything to do with a kid coming off of the bench and sucker punching a kid 50 feet away?

I'm going to say this!

If you're going to POST A VIDEO, please don't only pick out and show the parts that benefit and make you look good! Please show the START, MIDDLE, and END, so we can really see how it led to the part you're trying to show

Post found on Facebook

I don't care if the video started with Mike Tyson throwing the first blow, nothing justifies the sucker punch 50 feet from the squabble.

Give some credit... waited until the 8th page of the thread to pull this out. 

good point

Punch is a punch let's not make excuses neither way the #5 had a swollen eye and welp and this the excuse you give its still was in the play this the problem I have people wanna give opinion but look at it two other ways a damn punch is a punch he had more bodily harm once again #3 was wrong but don't justify #0 like he did nothing let's be real

I am not justifying ANY of them, if they threw punches they should be dealt with severely, but just as the NBA the penalty is much harsher for those opting to leave the bench during a fight.

I think what bothers me the most about this is that he passed 5 bigger kids to go after the smaller one.

These refs wherever there from, Pt Arthur I'm hearing knew all this mouthing and chippy play was happening during the game and should have put a stop to it before it escalated and not just stood there before the fight broke out!  Probably the same refs Silsbee will dealing with Friday at WOS, but everything that happened was uncalled for PERIOD!

I was wondering how long it would be before the "it was the refs fault" argument would be presented.

Agree with some of post if #3 should be suspended for playoffs so should #0 for LCM because he suckered punched #5 which we have on video and #5 had nice bruise on eye not defending the #3 actions at all but #0 did the exact same thing silsbee just taking high road sending video to UIL not posting on sites but #0 just as guilty trust me IMO they deserve the same 

big difference between getting punched in the fray (on the playing field) as opposed to 50 feet away on the bench.

A player from Silsbee got a 2 game suspension for a technical foul (issued for mouthing to a ref) earlier this season.  

Was any punishment sent down on the punch from #3 at Bridge City? Several have sent me the video since it was mentioned. It was a clear and deliberate punch to the back of the head.

From what I was told our basketball team has inserted a policy if you receive a technical foul you are out next game. No questions asked. To me this is making a clear statement
