  1. From the Fairfield newspaper: District 9-3A school superintendents met in an Executive Committee meeting Monday, Oct. 21 to discuss the alleged violation of Westwood ISD coaches and district personal videotaping/filming/recording district opponents of an athletics contest (varsity football) without the prior consent of the schools competing in the contest. When all was said and done, Diboll Superintendent Brian Bowman, Huntington Superintendent David Flowers, and Crockett Superintendent Dr. Douglas Moore recommended the suspension of Westwood ISD Technology Assistant Don McCoy from all District 9-3A athletic events and the suspension of Westwood High School Director of Athletics/Head Football Coach Richard Bishop for the remainder of the football season as well as postseason. Both of these suspensions will have to go to the UIL State Executive Committee for approval. The committee also voted Westwood would have to forfeit all District 9-3A football games for this season. Westwood ISD Superintendent Wade Stanford noted the school would be filing an appeal on the forfeits. Teague ISD Superintendent Chris Skinner and Fairfield ISD Superintendent Joe Craig were also in attendance for the meeting and spoke throughout. They could not vote on the recommendation because their teams were involved. When making the decisions, Skinner said, “We have to keep the best interest of the students in all districts in mind, not just those at Westwood.” Bowman led the meeting. Stanford, Bishop, McCoy and Glen Tunstall told what occurred during the Fairfield and Teague football game on Friday night, Oct. 11. Westwood had moved their game that week to Thursday night, but none of the other schools had been notified. Bishop and McCoy attended the game and sat on the home side at the 50-yard-line. McCoy, who is not a coach, but works for the district, took videos on his camera as well as Snapchat. Skinner called Stanford at 8:04 p.m. on Oct. 11 to notify him of coaches filming signals on the sidelines and plays. Stanford immediately called Bishop. During halftime, which is when Stanford called Bishop, Bishop told McCoy to delete any videos he had on his phone. McCoy admitted he was filming the sidelines and the plays. He stated he was taking the videos to send to a girl in Virgina. Bishop, who was sitting next to McCoy, said he didn’t know McCoy was taking videos. Fairfield Coaches Tyler Terry, Aaron Allen and Shawn Welch, who were in the pressbox, told what they witnessed during the game. They also videoed McCoy filming the sidelines and the plays with Bishop sitting next to him. McCoy said he videoed most of the first and second quarters of the game until he was told not to at halftime. He admitted to taking videos on both his camera as well as Snapchat. “I was capturing almost every play until I got something good,” McCoy said. “I was trying to get some good footage to send her to show her what Texas football is all about.” Craig then showed the videos the Fairfield coaches took from the pressbox of McCoy filming. His phone is turned sideways and can be seen zooming into the sideline and then zooming out to get the play. When asked what he thought after seeing the videos, Bishop said, “It's less than ideal. It isn’t a good look. I would never tell someone to film, especially since we were sitting in the center on the 50-yard-line.” Fairfield Head Football Coach John Bachtel noted Fairfield and Teague are now having to change all of their signals. “We all know we can’t be videoing other teams. Videoing our staff is just wrong,” Bachtel said. “That is what hurts me the most. Don’t be sitting right there next to him while he is videoing. It’s the ethics of it.” Bowman, Flowers, and Moore went into executive session at 11:53 a.m. before returning at 12:19 p.m. to discuss what actions should be taken. Bishop has been coaching for 17 years. Westwood is currently undefeated and has a 7-0 overall record with just three district games remaining against Teague, Fairfield and Huntington.
  2. Not on their list for this week as of today.

  5. Limited tickets are sold at gate. You can purchase online. Texan Live will be doing the game with SETXSports Silsbee broadcast providing the audio.
  6. If that is the case, then one cannot claim who the better QB is until they play each other. It's pretty close IMO.
  7. I agree. Simply cannot dismiss the QB at Huffman. He is every bit as good as the BC QB.
  8. Woodville [Hidden Content] Warren [Hidden Content] Coldspring [Hidden Content]
  9. I thought long and hard on going to this one but I know Texan Live will be doing the game so I can watch it when I get home or Saturday while tailgating.
  10. LC-M needs to make the game ugly. If they can, Bears win 20-14
  11. I'll take West Brook, 27-20
  12. I think most folks expected HF to be very good this year, So can't say they are over performing. Ranked very high in preseason polls and picked by all the experts to win district. They were my preseason pick to win district. Now I have WO-S winning district.
  13. Sabine Pass is off this week.
  14. If talking about Region III, #5 Houston Wheatley will be Div. II. Have just about everyone back from Regional Semifinal team. #15 Hamshire-Fannett will likely be a Div. II team as well. There is no guarantee that Silsbee will go Div. II. If Jasper and WO-S make playoffs with Silsbee, Tigers will go Div. I
  15. Most times my wife wants me out of the house. It also helps that both of us are retired.
  16. Thursday, Oct. 24 Burkeville at High Island Pregame meal at Tia Juanita's in Winnie Friday, Oct. 25 Lufkin at Port Arthur Memorial Pregame meal at Texas Roadhouse Saturday, Oct. 26 LSU at Texas A&M Tailgating all day, burgers, links, boudin, jalapeno poppers, lot's of beer What games will you be attending this week?
  17. But you are speculating or assuming. Can't do that when stating they have CLINCHED.
  18. 3rd Q South Dakota St. 9 North Dakota St. 7
  19. What's the score? I am watching South Dakota St. at North Dakota St.
  20. I knew that spread was way to big for A&M to cover in Starksville
  21. Aggie defense struggling against this State offense.
  22. Not necessarily. SP still has to play Deweyville and West Sabine. If they lose both those games then they finish 3-3. Evadale and West Hardin could finish 4-2. That would leave the final game between West Sabine and Sabine Pass for the 4th spot. Deweyville is the only team that has clinched a playoff spot.
  23. I'll pass. That's way too much parking to deal with. I have seen about 6 or 7 MCM's. So that isn't that big a deal for me. I think Lufkin/PAM will be very good.
