US Women win their second pool play game defeating Angola 90-38. They will face Turkey in their next pool play game

A little bit better so far in the US women's 2nd game. Up at the half over Angola, 41-18.

[quote name="ECBucFan" post="1240746" timestamp="1343681812"] As far as this site and discussion is concerned, yes. Now before you scoff, realize that Iola and Anderson Shiro are definitely in the College Station area. Look it up for yourself. Aledo? It depends. Carthage, Center, and Grapeland are now included, perhaps Aledo in the near future. Personally, I define SETX as south of 190 from Jasper to Livingston, and east of 59 and 146. [/quote] Those schools are only previewed based on them being in districts with some of our SETX teams. They will not be included in any of our rankings. Those schools are not considered to be Southeast Texas schools by this website. I'll let the man who did those awesome previews explain to you why he did those previews that way. A&M Consolidated and Aledo are not SETX schools. You know it but seem to have a burr in your saddle about our coverage here on the site so you are obviously trying to be a smart you-know-what about it.

Game will be streamed live tonight at FoxsportsHouston.com. [Hidden Content]

[quote name="ECBucFan" post="1240707" timestamp="1343672574"] Cliff Groce from A&M Consolidated and Johnathan Gray from Aledo. [/quote] Uh, again, the title of thread was about southeast Texas running backs. ::)

US won 2nd set 25-17. Now up 2 sets to 0.

Women playing powerful Brazil today. USA won first set 25-18. Currently lead 4-3 in 2nd set.

Listening to TSRN's live broadcast this morning from the Texas High School Coaches Association coaching school and listened to an interview of Coach Wise. TSRN's Lynn Michaels asked Wise if he thought he would have an easier route to a state championship now that they have dropped to 3A. Wise replied by stating they still had to deal with Houston Jones who also dropped down and a few other Region III teams. Michaels asked what other region teams in particular and Wise said, "Silsbee comes to mind along with some others. We will have to still work for it." The conversation then went to summer basketball and the coaching school. Interesting...... little surprised he even knew about Silsbee. ;) Here is the link to TSRN's broadcast for the remained of the morning and this afternoon: [Hidden Content] Their morning broadcast will stop at noon. Afternoon starts at 1:15pm.

[quote name="First Down" post="1240598" timestamp="1343613658"] Earnest Ray "Bubba" Bean (Kirbyville) Anthony Byerly (Newton) Jamaal Charles (PAM) [/quote] Some great ones there.

Sticking with just southeast Texas players (that is the title of the thread, but knew some would bring up other names), there have been many very good running backs from SETX, but not sure if you could call them great. Wooster, Byerly, Rodney Thomas of Groveton and maybe a couple of others could be considered great running backs. The best one game performance by a local running back that I have ever seen was by Silsbee's Jay McGuire in '93. He rushed for 464 yards and 6 TD's against Nederland. He had over 600 all-purpose yards that night. (rushing, receiving, returns).

Bryan Webb is the new head baseball coach at Deweyville.

USA men's team defeated France today 98-71 in Group A pool play. Only led 22-21 after first quarter, took game over rest of way. Over/under of average margin of victory for USA in Olympics, 23 1/2. I'll take under.

I thought the women looked terrible in the first half, didn't deserve to have the letters "USA" on their uni's. Was quite embarrassing. I mean this is the first time Croatia has ever qualified for the Olympics and the US team defeated them soundly in a "friendly" just a week ago 109-55. Let's hope the gals start playing better basketball.

Please dont tell me yall stadium looks like Barbie's Hill now  :( [/quote] I would say it's 6000 homeside, 4,000 visitor.

I got to catch up with Coach Isaacs at the Silsbee summer tourney (Calobe was there every day watching his Livingston team from the stands). He is very excited to be back home (he is a Livingston grad) coaching his alma mater. Coach told me he has a lot to learn as to the basketball scene at the 4A and 5A level, but he is eager to learn. I believe Coach Isaacs will do a fine job at Livingston and the Lions will make the playoffs in 20-4A this year, mark it down. I can see them as high as 3rd in the district.

My posts were in direct response to the idea that Lumberton would go back to 3A. I dispute that idea. I wasn't insinuating that Lumberton would surpass other 20-4A schools in enrollment. Lumberton enrollment will be more next realignment than what was turned in this past realignment. Their numbers are not on the decline like someone stated earlier.

Like I stated, my wife is a teacher at LISD (at the middle school). She says the enrollment at the middle school (7th & 8th grades) is just shy of 700. If you would compute that to high school enrollment (four grades) that would roughly come out to around 1200 or more in the next realignment. I stick to my earlier statement that Lumberton's enrollment will be above 1100 in the next realignment.

[quote name="imonlyoneman" post="1239889" timestamp="1343251330"] Kendrick King was as good of a 8th grade QB/Athlete that I have seen in a LONG time! [/quote] I agree. One has to wonder if he will be a HF Longhorn or not. ;)

[quote name="BringThePain" post="1239976" timestamp="1343272792"] No movement? No news?  School is about to start! [/quote] I have not heard a thing about the position.

[/quote] If you would have done a little more research then you would have known that my screen name was Ned11str8 for years before I switched it to purplepassion at the end of last season to mess with a friend of mine . Did you look back that far ? No . I'm a Bulldog tried and true . When I sign into my account I sign in like I always have " Ned11str8" for the past 5-7 years . When you first found the name purplepassion you should have remained calm and continued your investigation. Instead you got overzealous and wanted to share with the world your genius skills. Wrong . Ned11str8 signing out. I know you don't like me saying it but it's true . "MY" Bulldogs are far superior to any team around here this year . STATEBOUND ! [/quote] Ned11str8 is correct, he is a Nederland fan. Went back over his posts since he registered here back in '07, he is a Dawg fan.

Mark it down, Lumberton's enrollment will be above 1100 next realignment. My wife teaches in Lumberton, going on 13 years now in Lumberton (first 10 years of teaching was in Silsbee), she says the enrollment is growing. I do not think we will ever see 6A in my lifetime.

Correct. I have seen the DCTF and FNF (both have Newton #2) but I do not think the AP poll is out yet, but I could be wrong.

Are we talking about the AP poll (which I still have not seen posted anywhere yet) or FNF's poll?
