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

UIL only allows a certain amount of games played outside of tournaments. I believe if a team plays just 2 tournaments then they can play 21 games but those also include district games. So if you have 12 district games, then you are allowed to schedule 9 non district games. If you play 3 tournaments then you can play 19. That would allow 7 games. In some cases, districts play as many as 14 games so that cuts down on how many non district games that are allowed to be played. Coaches make schedules out prior to the seasons including getting in tournaments of their choosing. I think trying to keep open a weekend during the season would be a logistical nightmare and I bet the vast majority of coaches would not care to do that during the season. The TABC summer thing is great and very happy that they have this for the teams. But this is not about the fans. It's about allowing teams to play during the summer. I simply can't see your scenario happening.

Will be another "down" year for Silsbee this coming season. Meaning they will contend for a district title but likely will finish 2nd or 3rd and then out in 2nd round, maybe 3rd. Just too young at this point in time. But after this season, the Tigers will be back on top again and be back to making deep runs in the playoffs.

Those other levels can go get their talent while most high schools have to play with the talent (or lack thereof) that lives within the district. I think a coach should have the option to play the style that benefits his/her team the most for success. If it's a deliberate style (not holding the ball in a huddle like what Lumberton tried to do with no real intent on running an offense) then so be it. If it takes a minute to a minute and a half to run your offense aka Argyle, Kingwood, Central Heights, etc., then what's the harm? I want diversity in the game. I like seeing different styles being played. Shot clock basically makes everyone play the same. Most coaches and teams that want a shot clock already put the ball up within 45 seconds of the possession. Doesn't help them offensively. They just don't want to have to defend that long. The shot clock is just not needed at the high school level.

Teams that impressed me based on the results: North Shore going 3-0 CE King going 2-1 with one of those wins over SA Brennan Goose Creek Memorial going 3-0 Port Neches-Groves going 3-0 Kingwood Park going 3-0 Huffman going 2-1 Trinity going 3-0

All games are final. Our SETXsports teams went a combined 69-62 on the weekend.

Astros win 7-5 in 10. Houston has now won 9 of their last 12 and have reached 2 games under .500 (42-44) for the first time since April 10 when they were 6-8.

I only had a couple of conversations with this man but it didn't take me long to figure out I was speaking to a fine man. One thing was obvious, he was an LCM Battlin Bear through and through. He also had great love for all high school sports. Southeast Texas sport scene will miss this man and certainly will the LCM community. RIP Mr. Mota aka Mr. Bear.

That's 8 wins in last 11 games.

Right. Didn't have any other choice but to let him go. That would be the case any where.

Astros are actually now a wildcard team if the season were to end today.

Houston has now won 7 of their last 9 and are 3 games under .500 (40-43) for the first time since April 15. Currently just 2 games back of division lead.

4 teams in the Top 11: #2 North Shore #3 CE King #5 Summer Creek #11 Atascocita Crosby moves up to 6A in this district. Doesn't seem fair. lol

Houston wins 3-1. Astros have won 6 of their last 8. This is as close to .500 (39-43) as the Astros have been since April 16 when they were 8-12.

Good question.

He would be in the same boat as Foreman if both knew. I am being told by many that Peveto had baggage from other stops and any one doing their due diligence would have to question his work ethics. Coaches talk.

Hardin-Jefferson this past school year. But, word is he left (or was not renewed) at a couple other places because of improprieties.

Houston is halfway thru the season. (81 games). They are 38-43 (.469), 5 games under .500. Astros were season high of 11 games under .500 on May 20 (20-31). Since then Houston has gone 18-12 (.600) Astros are currently 3.5 back of division leader Seattle and 2 games back of final wildcard spot. In the 81 games played, Houston has used 79 different lineups due to injuries. They have played an MLB high of 49 players. Offensively: Astros are currently 16th (7th in AL) in hitting with a team batting average of .244. OBA of .318, SLG at .414 and OPS of .732. All those rank in top 10 of MLB. After the first 40 games of season, Astros were hitting around .265 and were top 3 in every offensive category. Last 40 games the offense has dropped to middle of the pack. Pitching: Houston is 27th in MLB (13th in AL) in team ERA at 4.81. OBA is .243 and WHIP is 1.41. In the first 50 games of season Houston's team ERA was around 6.4. Over the last 30 they have cut over 1.5 runs off the ERA. Houston pitching is definitely getting better and that is a very good sign for the rest of the season. Astros have 17 more games till All-Star break. If they can manage to get to .500 or better by that time, I really think Houston will have a great shot at making playoffs considering how the rest of the division is playing and how most of the AL is playing. The trend is a positive one.

10-4A DII has 4 top 25 teams. #2 WO-S #14 Silsbee #19 Hamshire-Fannett #25 Shepherd Hardin-Jefferson and Jasper. This will be a very tough district.

One game ain't going to kill us. Now, if you ever become a season ticket holder, then we have a problem. Might have to give them to me.
