Trump making 2 billion doesn't alarm me. Like baddog stated, he was a billionaire before taking office. What alarms me is politicians being worth 200 to 400 thousand going into office and coming out worth 75 to 100 million+. Like the case up in Minnesota. Went in office at 90,000 and 4 years later has 100 million. That's what should alarm folks.

So @89Falcon is now on staff at San Augustine. Losing the fullback/DL player will hurt Shepherd a bit but I still think they make playoffs.

I just want .500 by All Star break. Current record is 43-46. Nine games remaining before break. Last 3 are against division leader Arlington. 6-3 will put us at .500. It's doable.

DCTF prediction has the district finishing like this: 1. WO-S 2. Silsbee 3. Hamshire-Fannett 4. Shepherd 5. Jasper 6. Hardin-Jefferson Returning starters (offense/defense) WO-S 14 (7/7) Silsbee 12 (8/4) HF 15 (7/8) Shepherd 16 (8/8) Jasper 9 (4/5) HJ 11 (6/5) For the folks talking about how young Jasper was last year, they return the fewest starters of any of the teams. Doesn't make much sense.

Wow! Was my go to stop when in Livingston. Now will have to find a different spot.

I'm making sure I will be on the sidelines for this one. Can't wait.

If they are naming a member in the post then yes I would say that it's personal.

You need to stop with the constant calling out of members. Can be viewed as personal attacks.

I am expecting 4 to be on varsity this coming season.

I agree.

I am being told he is coming out of retirement for this one season until a hire can be made next year. He will be the DC if school board approves retire rehire. School district will have to pay at least 16% of his retirement plus his salary (whatever that will be) and will have to pay $500+ towards his retirement insurance. For one season I think that can be money well spent. Wouldn't recommend it for multiple years.

Preparation for the next level? You mean the 10% of all of Texas high school basketball players that actually play next level? A shot clock is needed for those players? What about the 90% that will not play next level? What about teams across the state that don't have a single college prospect on their roster or haven't had any in many years? I know for a fact that those teams are in the vast majority but we need to implement a rule to benefit the "elite" teams? I totally understand the complaint about teams that simply hold the ball with no intention of running an offense. Teams that hold it to try and keep the score down and not get blown out. Particularly when that team is behind. (aka Lumberton/Silsbee game). I don't like that as well. It's not basketball. But I have watched plenty of basketball in my 62 years and I can honestly state that those instances are anomalies. You might find 6-10 games per season out of the 1000's of games played where a team holds the ball with no intent on running an offense. But we should implement a shot clock because of that? I am all for what makes the game better for EVERYONE. Not just for the select few.

Just in Lumberton this morning when I was driving thru on 96, these were the prices I saw: 3.03 (but you had to buy a car wash) 3.15 3.17 3,23 3.49 3.59 3.69 I paid 3.17 at HEB and just half a mile down there was a station that had 3.69. How can it be half a dollar cheaper (or more) in that close proximity? Makes zero sense.

According to the website with all the scores posted they went 1-2. [Hidden Content]
