The couple of folks that started getting the rally organized, their intentions were to support the team and lift up the player. Now I have no doubt that others will use the rally as a platform for their personal crap.

The pep rally is for supporting the team during this time. It's also about lifting a young man up after making a terrible decision. The rally is not about making excuses.

Kids. Ridiculous

LC-M ISD determines the punishment for their students/athletes. That is their decision. The DEC will be meeting soon and could hand down larger punishments for the players involved.

Let's get one thing straight, Devon's punishment was not solely based off that 9 second video. Complete video's from both teams were viewed, people were interviewed and decisions were made based off that info. SISD and it's athletic programs have policies that deal with fighting. The punishment was based on all that criteria. I feel really bad for the young man. He made a terrible decision. He now has to face the consequences. I hope he learns from this incident tremendously. Everyone makes mistakes or makes bad decisions. You just cannot keep making the same mistakes or bad decisions.

Michael McCain will start before Willie Jones.

UIL does not hand down punishment in these situations. They leave that up to the school districts and the DEC's. UIL just makes sure schools abide by their rules.

These are Silsbee ISD suspensions. The 22-4A district executive committee is meeting in the next two days to decide on the fate of Adams, Tyler, Brown and Bridges. They will decide if more punishment is deserving.

Devon McCain suspended for remainder of season (playoffs included) Jordyn Adams 1 game suspension Calvin Tyler is not suspended

Hold up folks. Getting conflicting reports on the Silsbee suspensions. Will update when I get the full and accurate story.

And for those Silsbee fans needing to know, the two LC-M players involved have been suspended indefinitely.

Sophomore Devon McCain has been suspended for the rest of the season (Including Playoffs). Also Senior Calvin Tyler & Sophomore Jordyn Adams have been "suspended indefinitely" following last night's events. It's my understanding this is a Silsbee ISD ruling, not UIL

And since there is no JV game, I can see 2-3 players off of JV be moved up to take the place of the suspended players.

In fact, I would not be against just allowing WO-S parents to attend and no Silsbee fans at all.

Out for personal reasons.

IMO, that would be unfair to WO-S. Keep the game there and allow some fans.

I am sorry, Devon and Jordyn, along with Calvin, will be missed. Let's don't pretend we won't. Their size will be missed and Calvin's ability to defend anyone will be missed. I personally do not think it will cause Silsbee to lose the game, but we will know their not on the court. I'll take Silsbee by 15.

That was Wayne Brasher, who was JP and my broadcast partner. Learned a lot from those two. Wayne is still around.

Silsbee at WO-S Friday Feb. 10 VARSITY GAME ONLY, no JV game Varsity game time is 6pm I will not be broadcasting this game.

When you have developed a rep, well the chips fall kind of hard sometimes.

I will say this, I just viewed a brief video of the fight. I am sickened at what I saw. Makes me feel embarrassed as a Tiger fan and a fan of this particular young man. This type behavior cannot go unpunished. I would not be against suspension for the remainder of season for this young man. I will not be surprised if the UIL sends down some very damaging suspensions.

AMEN!!
