I am speaking of the press box.

Still do not see how Dayton ISD is getting away with not having an elevator on the home side. I guess the right person hasn't filed a complaint yet. That home side is out of state compliance with the handicap laws.

Tweet from BE's David Henry: Blinn College will scrimmage Louisiana College at Durley stadium on the West Brook campus Thursday, August 23rd @ 3:30 pm. Think I'll go by and check this out on my way to Winnie for Silsbee's scrimmage with East Chambers. Gives me a chance to see a former Tiger, Jeremy Johnson, perform with his new team.

I could care less about a jumbotron. Turf would be nice particularly how the field conditions at Tiger Stadium has been over the past few years. It gives you a lot of options, playoff games, etc. Tiger Stadium field condition is very good, did a lot of work on it this past year. But one monsoon and a game played in it would destroy it for another year. Silsbee was to get turf a few years ago. Had a cost study done and had a company come out and measure for turf. But then some other financial issues came up in the district and it had to be shelved for the time being. Now just waiting on a rich donor to buy it for us. ;)

[quote name="Honest Abe" post="1248109" timestamp="1345563888"] What happens when Silsbee wins a few playoff FB games? Will they have enough to suit up a varsity basketball squad? [/quote] They will probably pull up a few 9th and 10th grade players to fill those games.

When I attended Silsbee's football scrimmage against Newton last Friday night, I was amazed at how many of Silsbee's varsity basketball players were playing football. Eight of the 10 returning varsity players are playing football with 6 playing significant roles: Reed (starting QB) Holmes (starting WR) Elam (starting CB) Jackson (starting WR) Barnes (WR) Scott (WR/RB) Also, several of the potential players to fill out the varsity roster are playing football. Looks as though Dobbins and Wilson will be the only varsity players to be basketball only. Which brings me to this question. I am curious to know how many "basketball only" players will the other 21-3A teams have on their varsity squads? If you know, please post. side note: Jontell Jones, the young man who transferred to Silsbee from Irving McArthur last year and had to play JV, has moved back to Irving and will finish his senior year back at McArthur. I want to wish Jontell all the best. He is a good kid and fantastic player.

I believe Grad merged his scrimmage thread with my thread of the news article.

Did i ever say anything about winning or losing? No i did not. Don't get your panties in a wad AAW. [/quote] I posted a news article about the scrimmage. Never asked for predictions. Just what kind of predictions are you asking for? I predict that each team's 1st and 2nd teams will play. I predict that there will be some running, passing, blocking and tackling. I predict that each team will play hard, each team's coaches will be happy and mad. A team or both will score a TD. I predict there will be fans in the stands. Kids will be playing under the stands. Old men will be reminiscing about their football days. Women will be gossiping. Some fans for both teams will be yelling at the coaches and the officials. I also predict that some fools will predict a win or loss on this thread before the scrimmage will take place Thursday night.

[quote name="uandme08" post="1247692" timestamp="1345478186"] The Ozen vs North Forest scrimmage's location has changed to Beaumont. [/quote] Time and day?

[quote name="CHILLTIME4ME" post="1247675" timestamp="1345475829"] ya know newton is a lot better than that.[b]Thats on two weeks of practice in scrimmage they givin new guys chances to fill positions, silsbee wouldnt stand a chance late in the season.[/b] Also if you look at last years rushing stats you will see that we dominated, compelling over 5000 yards between all three RETURNING starters.And fort the kirbyville fans thats dogging newton apparently ur in a dream cause kirbyville would be better off not stepping of the bus at newton this year their wasting their time but they gotta play. Newton will put up big numbers on offense. Newton 48 Kirbyville 12, we might score more though.And btw you should be noticing whos usually the only team left in Southeast Texas come playoff time around here is Newton.We should get way more credit. We will go at least three rounds in the playoffs lets see what ya do lol [/quote] Just two weeks of practice? Isn't that the same for Silsbee? Also, Silsbee was trying out new players in positions as well. So Silsbee wouldn't stand a chance later in the year? That wasn't the case last year. ::) From what I saw in that scrimmage, it wouldn't matter when these two teams actually played a game, Silsbee would most likely win. It was obviously evident in the performance of these two teams in the scrimmage Friday night. Silsbee has the better team and it showed.

From what I saw of Hamshire-Fannett last week against Deweyville and Kirbyville, they won't be bringing much. I look for both Barbers Hill and Central to have their way with the Horns.

[/quote]lol, its Cleveland, they should blow the Indians out, emphasis on should.  ;) [/quote] I will be there for that game and possibly we will broadcast that game here at SETXsports.

5A and 4A have 4 playoff spots, not just 3.

[quote name="bubbadz" post="1247494" timestamp="1345425404"] Concession stand will be open on home side (West stand) Don't know about visitor concessions yet [/quote] For what scrimmage?

False alarm. I was told Edwards was enrolled at Buna and practicing football with the team. Played in the scrimmage Friday night.

[quote name="liltex" post="1247307" timestamp="1345390087"] Heads up to those attending, alot of schools do not provide concessions and w/art.turf/alum bleachers on steel structure or concrete absorb heat all day long and a 5:00 start for freshmen can get very hot for fans.FW had no concessions & last yr @Pasadena scimm a  BH lady was taken by ambulance for heat symtoms-there were no concessions.Note:freeze some bottle water and you'll be ok 5-10pm for 3 scrimm is a long time in this heat,be prepared better to have than not ;) [/quote] Or, just don't go. ;)

I cannot remember any paper doing reports from any scrimmages. I don't see what the big deal is, just scrimmages.

[quote name="89falcon" post="1247154" timestamp="1345343120"] Does anyone know if Newton and EC are as good as Deweyville? That should give us an idea of where KVille stands against the teams in the new district. [/quote] Newton and East Chambers are better than Deweyville and Hamshire-Fannett.

[quote name="BunaBaller14" post="1247072" timestamp="1345337217"] A lot of people talking about the 6'5 post with a sweet stroke moving to West Brook [/quote] WHOAAAAA!!!!!! That would be a huge loss for Buna and a good pick up for West Brook.

[quote name="APanthers" post="1246870" timestamp="1345310750"] We will know next week when E.C plays Silsbee how good Newton is. [/quote] Yes, that will be somewhat of a good measuring stick to compare for EC and Newton
