In the DCTF preview for EC, only Fontenot is listed as a QB. No other player is mentioned at that position.

It's my understanding that Woodville checked the box for athletic purposes and the DEC for 18-6A has not met to decide on the eligibility. Barbers Hill was waiting on the PAPF to be sent from Woodville. But that was a month ago.

I do not know "all things EC". I rely on sources from EC. It's very possible that time will be split at the QB position but I understood that Fontenot will play QB.

Barnes and Noble in Beaumont has them. Silsbee Walmart has them as well.

Houston with a 6-3 win over SF. Wesneski with another quality start. 7 IP, 3 runs, 5 hits (2 HR), 4 K's, 2 BB. Hader pitched two perfect innings to get the win. Cam Smith big night at the plate. 3-4, 2 runs, HR, 2 RBI's. Astros remain 1/2 game up on Arlington.

Aren't the majority of these good people Muslim? You know, those folks that you condemn daily here on this site.

Thank you. Will correct.

In mid May when Houston was 11 games below .500 (19-30), their team ERA reached a season high of 6.47, the worst in all of MLB. As of August 10, the Astro team ERA is 4.59, the lowest it's been since April. That's roughly 2 runs less. It's still 12th in AL but very much improved. Houston's offense since mid May has fallen off a bit when the Astros were batting .263 as a team and averaging around 5.3 runs per game which led the AL. Now the Houston offense is at .246 team batting average and averaging 4.7 runs per game. Both categories are still top 3 in AL. I stated back at the end of May that I was willing to give up some of that hot hitting if it meant the pitching would get better. I felt that was the key to get Houston winning. Well, Astro pitching has got much better and the hitting fell off some but low and behold they are above .500 and first in division. Pitching is what matters the most in MLB and nobody can convince me otherwise.

I plan on attending 5 Lamar games this season. Aug. 29 Abilene Christian, Oct. 10 UIW, Oct. 24 Houston Christian (homecoming), Nov. 7 SFA and Nov. 21 at McNeese. I have season tickets for Lamar home games. I will be attending at least 3 A&M games: Sept. 12 Arizona St., Sept. 19 Kentucky and Oct. 17 The Citadel (military weekend). This is a 3 game package I bought. I no longer have season tickets. I also have Colorado at Baylor on Sept. 26 on the schedule. Going to see Silsbee's Dra'lon Miller play against his old team.

I agree. My decision of which Friday game to attend will be based on how things are going into that week. But right now I will go with these games for Week 7: Thursday Baytown Sterling at Beaumont West Brook Friday Port Arthur Memorial at La Porte (2nd choice is Orangefield at East Chambers) Saturday Incarnate Word at Lamar

In the midst of me putting together my schedule for the 2026 football season, I couldn't help but notice Week 7 (Oct. 8-10) and how on paper it looks to be a doozy of a week for our coverage area teams. Here are some very interesting games starting with Thursday night Oct. 8: Thursday, Oct. 8 Crosby at Kingwood Baytown Sterling at Beaumont West Brook Joaquin at Shelbyville Friday, Oct. 9 North Shore at Summer Creek Beaumont United at Goose Creek Memorial PA Memorial at La Porte Texas City at Port Neches-Groves Huffman at Bridge City West Orange-Stark at Hamshire-Fannett Jasper at Silsbee (Silsbee homecoming) Orangefield at East Chambers Newton at Hardin Fairfield at Palestine Westwood Some very very good matchups for that week. Makes my decision on where to be that week very difficult. Where would you be that week and why if you could choose one of these games?

People on here do understand. But the vitriol and complaining was towards SOC when it should be directed at UIL and the local DEC.

Really curious to see how this plays out.

6-3 win over the Padres. Astros stay 1 1/2 ahead of Arlington and 4 games up on Seattle.

Just spoke with an High Island school official. HI will be playing in TCAL for all their athletics. Doesn't mean that some of their athletic teams will not play UIL teams in non-district because they will play some of those schools. Just won't be participating in any districts in UIL athletics. High Island will have a varsity football team this coming season unlike last year. Will remain a 6 man football team.

I can agree with that last statement. I have stated that the coaches and local DEC's have to do better. The problem with DISD is they have become a "you watch my back and I'll watch yours" district.

I am not "turning the other cheek". I said policy needs improving. Coaches and DEC need to be better. But the bottom line is the players are eligible according to the UIL and DEC. Football socialism??? LOL I think you are using the wrong analogy.
