So since I am doing better (but still in the hospital), I need something to do so I will start the previews tomorrow.  I have tinkered with the schedule which is now in the newly formed preview sub forum.
I'll start tomorrow with Newton, United and Jasper.
On a separate note,  I really appreciate the prayers, well wishes and visits, they have meant a lot.

AAU is the devil

Disagree.  By and large we are all simply a product of our choices whether they be good or bad.  I don't think simply sharing a link that sheds light on what transpired takes away from the young man..We all make mistakes. Many of us are fortunate to not pay the ultimate price while many others are not. If anything it should serve as a cautionary tale as well as a great opportunity for others to educate themselves and loved ones on the dangers of opioids.  
 

English, imo, is a top 5 or 10 coach in our area.   I am also a believer in his abilities.  There are a lot of haters of Nederland and I think that’s where a lot of the downplay in his coaching prowess comes from.  
There are good and bad coaches, just like there are good and bad teachers, doctors, lawyers, etc.   On any given Tuesday or Friday, I can direct anyone to the appropriate gym in this area to see good or bad coaching, whichever they prefer.  

At that age they all should be playing on 10' goals.

I would say Michael Carter and  Ychlindria Spears  should be on any list of the greatest ever from Texas.
 
IMO, the best male athlete from SE Texas of all-time is Jamaal Charles or maybe even Earl Thomas.  (Talking about Babe Zeharias is like talking about Babe Ruth just really no comparison fits.)

Could probably say one of the best high school athlete to come out of SETX, but will need to see how does later for overall.   If acting counted, we would have to consider Bubba Smith
Here is a good list for the state for sports figures (not athletes) through 1999.

Babe Zaharias?

Honestly,  I think all of the series could go either way. Good first round matchups.

That is awesome for those girls & their families.  My point is that today's softball is geared towards travel ball & getting the scholarship/committment.  Lord knows we all need any extra money there is to send our kids to college.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.  But if today's highschool softball would buy in to the State Championship it would mean a lot more for the player.  Would mean a lot to the past players that tried to get there.  The community, the athletic program, the highschool etc.  Maybe it's the old school in me but I believe it's all about making it to Austin.

From what I've heard the best 8th grade basketball player in SE Texas is actually a girl at Hardin Jefferson. Don't know the young ladies name but I hear she is already getting serious attention from the top women's D1 teams in the nation. 

Congrats to Charli for being named the Gatorade player of the year.

Horrible foul call on Valsin on incidental contact well after a dunk.  

Well Braylon Bush, Devin McCain, and Jordan Adams will be making their 3rd straight trip to State..You can say those 3 are official and the real deal 

So wait if a foul occurs in the last second of a game and the clock runs out before the ref can blow his whistle then there is no foul???

Looking at this first video it appears the ref made the correct call. Player was fouled at .2
Been officiating for two full seasons now. Tough call to make but I would’ve made the same call at that position.

I think that before we continue taking shots at our favorite targets, I think we need to step back and remember that these are not professional franchises that have barrels of money.  Most of the districts are ones who have very little in way of a tax base and must make what little they have stretch out to EVERY facet of the school district.
If WO-S is at the point where they can afford upgrades like those proposed, great.  But to rag on facilities without providing the means to correct it is disingenuous.

My favorite moment is the upcoming parade for WO-S.

Why? Heck he only accounted for 10 td's in a first round playoff game. I'm sure tons of kids in Texas playoff games did that last weekend. Hell he wouldn't even be a starter at a certain school.
