82 5A State Champs

[quote name="SFA85" post="821506" timestamp="1280344902"] I'll take NS over Katy.  Should be low scoring like the last 2 meetings [/quote]Since each team has beaten the other in recent years, would a Katy loss to NS really be an upset?

Not to ruffle anybody's feathers, but I talked to a person who worked on the stadium job for the electrical contractor thats performing the electrical work.....anyway, he didn't seem to think that the stadium would be completed by the projected date. In fact, "there's no way it will be dont by the 20th of August" were his exact words. I dont want this to be true, but I would prepare yourselves to play the first few games at either Zaharius or Durley. In addition to all the rain that we've gotten over the last few weeks, that will surely slow down progress. I sincerely hope that I'm wrong, and that the information I've been given is inaccurate, cause I would love to play Ozen in the first game in the new digs. But it aint lookin' good gang! WBbear, what have you heard?

WTH? scooter, I thought you were a converted Abeliene Eagles fan? LOL! You gonna ride BOTH bandwagons? :D

[quote name="scooter!" post="820087" timestamp="1279935229"] I think it got up to 103 here in Abilene today. And we had an office picnic to go to. Yeah, very uncomfortable. [/quote]Abeliene? I wonder how hot that would feel if you added a little Gulf coast humidity?

....like you never left, eh? Yep, its definitely hot right now. Welcome back, scoot!

[/quote]Why is that funny? [/quote]Its a football stadium! ;D [/quote] It's the one thing that keeps some of these kids interested in trying to pass their classes. [/quote]Uh, no thats called House Bill 72!

Zaharius and Durley.

Fingers crossed! ;)

[quote name="19bulldog88" post="819286" timestamp="1279659065"] [quote author=rykerx144 link=topic=71081.msg819205#msg819205 date=1279637334] I can see both sides to this argument.  Everyone hates to see things in their past go.  [b]Its obvious you have to keep up with times and upgrade and provide the most up to date enviroment for the kids.[/b]  The change has to be made like it or not, but there is nothing wrong with the so called "tea baggers" holding on to their past and being upset that it has to be changed.  Is there really a need for this debate?  SFA what does this have to do with what side of the track your on?  Your the only one making that an issue.  You are getting on to them for not wanting to let go of the past!!  Right??  well it sounds like you need to let go of the past too!   [/quote] Nice statement ^ People in Nederland must not see it your/our way. Hopefully we can try again for some needed upgrades. [/quote]I'd start with a new scoreboard. Oh wait, ya'll got one like two years ago. EPIC FAIL!

[quote name="SFA85" post="819063" timestamp="1279569668"] The Richard E. Berry Center for Educational Assistance located in Cypress Texas aka The Berry Center.  I guess people would like the stadium's name better if it didn't have CBT's name on it.... [/quote]For once, SFA85, you are correct. I would like it much better if it was named differently. I feel like its a slap in the face, as a BISD taxpayer, to have the school board name it after a man who is still alive and running this ship. It's more commonplace to memorialize someone that has done great things in a community, after he has passed. I think it's bad karma on the part of the schoolboard to agree on the name that was selected. But oh well, I'm sure after we get a few wins in that stadium, I'll forget all about it. ;D

Thanks for the post, Kerry. I'll have to make a trip over there this week and get my 7!

[quote name="GCMPats" post="819010" timestamp="1279549567"] [quote author=Bucof2010 link=topic=71081.msg818942#msg818942 date=1279503222] On the new "Carrol Butch Thomas Educational Support Center" I know some of you'll loved to see this  :D [/quote] I was wondering about the 'Educational Support Center" title. I would not believe it if I had not seen it with my own eyes. Are there going to be some classrooms there also? [/quote]No, BISD wants to make it sound like a sophisticated title. When in reality, IMO, it makes BISD look kinda ignorant. Bad choice for the stadium name. I would have been fine with BISD stadium.

:-[ :-[ >:(

I would be happy if we won more then 11 games this year. Over all the years at WB, and with all the success of the football program.....11 games is the most we've ever won in a single season. 11-4-1 in '82, 11-1 in '83, 11-2 in '94, and 11-3 in '97. Can we get to 12?

Geez, the first two games will both be WO-S games, huh? Makes me wonder if Kerry had anything to do with that? LOL!

1. Cinco Ranch 2. The Woodlands 3. Klein Collins 4. Katy 5. West Brook 6. North Shore 7. Cy Creek 8. Clear Springs 9. Lamar 10. Pearland 11. Klein Forest 12. Klein Oak 13. Lufkin 14. Cy Woods 15. Hou. Memorial 16. Atascocita 17. Elkins 18. Westfield 19. Hightower 20. Westside

Great article....thanks for sharing it with us.

I cant wait to see this kid on turf against our speedy defense! ;)

[/quote] I agree. [/quote] ::) ::)   As I said, do either one of you have anything to support your predictions that the stadium will not be ready?  A hunch maybe?  Or are you waiting in 'hope' that it is not finished?  If that's the case, that makes somebody sound like a hater... [/quote] No hater, Soulja. I am going off of what is told to me and what I see with my own eyes. I am hoping for BISD's sake (and the fans) that it will be finished in time for the first game. It's going to be very close though. [/quote]Seems that information my be a bit inaccurate.  Butch Stadium will be finished on schedule.  Then after that, I'll wonder if I can get you to watch a game with me @ the new digs... ;D ;D [/quote] Soul, I am comparing the new stadium to where ours was at that time. What worries me is the press box being completed. I think everything else will be completed. The Reservation press box seemed like it was never going to be completed. [/quote] Well Mr Sanchez and Company can broadcast from the stands with Soulja. 82 and Sgt Rey [/quote]That would make for an entertaining broadcast.....two honkeys, a black guy and a Metsikan!

[quote name="SFA85" post="818169" timestamp="1279151963"] Hey Matt.  Great job no matter what these local experts say.  These are some of the same people that are ready to crown WB and LC-M state champs based on touch football results.  Of course WB may be #48 or worse if the rumors I hear are true....... [/quote]Your genius never ceases to amaze me..... :-\

[quote name="BrenhamFan" post="817728" timestamp="1278974373"] For the most part the rankings are similar to DC's in 4A, but 5A is alot different. [/quote]For what its worth, DC hasn't been right on a ranking in 10+ years. But, these guys are totally braindead with their rankings. WHo comes up with this garbage?

I'll be more than happy to hang with you and watch a few games, Soulja! ;)

:D :D :DOMG!  :D :D :D LOL!  :D That magazine is a riot! I dont even need to comment on this rag!

[quote name="bellison1" post="817737" timestamp="1278975509"] It is amazing to read some of these post about 7 on 7.  Every team in the state should participate in some type of  7 on 7 during the summer for numerous reasons.  1.  Your kids are out there running around developing athletic skill. 2.  Having fun while conditioning. 3.  No matter what offense you run, eventually you will have to throw the football. 4.  and maybe the most important reason, your kids lean to compete. 5.  Kids you are counting on that have never played a varsity snap are out there getting used to the speed of the game. 6.  At some point in the season, you will play a spread team and now you have experience defending it. there are many more but these are the biggest.  Chime in if you have others. As far as LC-M and their showing at state....what a way to go into the year now....lots of momentum...lose to LT by 1 in OT....beat SLC...are you kidding me...I have coached against SLC and I can assure you, there is not a team in that area that can play with them....even in their down years.....and yes, even though 7 on 7 doesn't translate directly to fall success, check out all the teams class A to 5A that play in the semis and I would bet 95% of them have 7 on 7 experiece....so give LC-M their due....and have a clue about football before you start making some of those statements.... [/quote]You dont think there is a team in the area that can hang with the Mighty Dragons from Southlake? Huh, I beg to differ, sir!

Central should win this one.
