TheMissingBand

That’s a good point made in the hearing… bc had to stop using their tech because of LCM concealing the band which put BC at a disadvantage.

I’ve read a lot of smack from the LCM fans, but the end of the day the Cardinals are fighting up/out of their weight class and tied for first-and I think they’d be undefeated in the district if not for what happened in this game. What does that say about LCM if BC is accused of taking the “easy road” by opting up to play the Bears? If anybody wants to take a trip down memory lane, how were things going for the Bears before they dropped down from 5A D1? They stunk. Then they hired a “state championship caliber” coach… and he somehow lost his mojo… or BOJO, if you prefer. I don’t blame them for cheating… I would do anything to avoid getting handled up by a much smaller school from across town, too. Like when they duck their longtime cross town rival Mustangs. Whatever happens in the meeting today doesn’t matter. I believe that the Bears deserve a forfeit, but it won’t change anything. We’ll see ‘em next year and pick up where we left off the second half.

Can we insert a poll? I think we all miss that guy.

We've played both, and Silsbee takes this.  It's hard to cheat on the road, WOS...

[/quote] Excuses, excuses and my boy play on the 8th grade team! Hey who cares where Dan Hooks stays? Seems to me you're the only one that cares.. Lol. [size=14pt]Last time I check Coach Thompson was the coach [/size] @ the House that Dan Ray built! Matter fact y don't y'all bring Hooks out of Retirement to be BC Coach? [/quote] Uh huh... and Thompson chooses to live in Orangefield, too.  It must be worse than I thought over there.

We won in regulation, we couldn't protect our lead in the extended period.  Nah, the entire second half, when the Stangs were behind, the clock would stop after every play.... regardless of who had the ball, if the play never went out of bounds, time out wasn't  called, no first down made, or anything.... clock would stop and then not restart until the ref spotted the ball, noticed the clock stopped, and windmilled until the qb was under center.  I'm sure the ump had to ice his shoulder Thursday night from swinging that thing over and over, trying to get the timekeeper to get it moving again (when the stangs were behind, that is...). That's when the timekeeper would restart the clock.  There was an easy 12-15 seconds that WEREN'T run off of the clock after every play while the stangs were behind.  Then, when we didn't protect the ball and lost our lead with 1:57 left in the game, suddenly the timekeeper can't figure out how to stop the clock from spinning.  They had to put time BACK on the clock 3 times in the final 1:57 seconds.  If you have 15 or so errors in the timekeeping, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF WHICH FAVORS THE MUSTANGS...... well, it is what it is. We get it, WOS... the timekeeper was just giving his 112%, too. Too bad that one adult couldn't keep things in perspective.

BC 8A by scoring more points than the ponies.  Again. 

Bah..... BC is going to go bananas if they ever beat WOS.

Hey, Rake..... How's that WOS 8th A playing?  All I'm hearing is gossip from the kids.

Keep sleeping on us....  BC will be in the playoffs again. 

No offense, but did they ever start assigning the best football minds to coach the 7th graders? I always thought seventh grade coaches were the guys that coach mostly because they don't want to drive a bus.

BC 8A beat CO Wilson 8A.....  14-6.  Keep your head up, dawgs...y'all are going to win some games this year!

Who was responsible for Bridge City becoming the Cardinals?  I mean, seriously...what qualities does a cardinal have that we are trying to exemplify?  A voracious appetite for earthworms?  Somebody should have lost their job over that crap.

Don't worry about broadcasting BC's... we're all going to BE at the game.

Silsbee will finish in third place this year..... a three-peat if you will.  BC isn't looking to drop down quite yet. 

A color man?  DAS RACIST!!!!

We'll know a lot more on August 31st....

BC vs. WOS

[quote name="Majestyk" post="1233092" timestamp="1340847459"] Strange.  WO-S usually top 10 as a given due to past history and reputation.  This year they have several D1 candidates and rank 23.  DCTF puts high emphasis on D1 prospects and returning starters on making their rankings.  This may be good for WO-S although they may not bust the top 10 due to their schedule.  But I do see them making a post season run.  The defense sounds pretty stout from what I've been reading. [/quote] They have to get past a pretty good BC team and Silsbee team in district.

The answer is easier than the current high school OC.  Some levels of STJFL field as many as three teams per age group from Lumberton.  Most of the other schools that are represented in Lumberton's district field 2 or three teams as well.  Since Lumberton has only one Junior High, you condense two or three teams worth of talent into one team, while Port Neches AND Groves field multiple teams... Nederland fields multiple teams, too.  Each of those teams continues to develop multiple layers of talent, and eventually merge to form a high school unit from the best kids from as many as four 8th grade teams.  The kids from Lumberton are at a disadvantage because they don't get to develop in practice and games, up to the point that a lot of good kids give up over lack of involvement before they ever develop into their full potential.  There really isn't a good solution for that problem. Lots of empty seats on the L-train these days, btw....

Bridge City, of course.  I'm excited to see BC taking on some good non-district opponents. 

Man, that's a disappointment.  I thought they needed an assistant Facebook Coach.  I think I would be good at coaching kids about the 'book and several other social media sites.
