Okay, enough with the government talk. We have a forum for that.

[quote name="coachwilliamson" post="1248885" timestamp="1345674767"] This is Coach Williamson with High Island ISD.  We are not closing any athletic programs here at High Island.  We actually have added a JV schedule for this year in football.  Both girls and boys programs  are up in numbers as far as participation.  If you don't have the facts, call the school (409) 286-5317 or myself (409) 599-4802.  Rumors only hurt the kids and the community. Thanks and God Bless, Brent Williamson Athletic Director/Head Football High Island ISD [/quote] Thank you Coach Williamson for clearing this up. It is greatly appreciated.

[quote name="TheRef" post="1248711" timestamp="1345658424"] Or High Island decided to go somewhere else for officials! [/quote] ;)

[Hidden Content] Problem is, the district 11-3A committee has disqualified Prime Prep from participating in any district game in all sports. Saw this coming from the start.

In the case of Silsbee High School, it would either be James Hunter or Artie Shankle. My vote would probably be Shankle since he was all district in football, basketball, baseball and district track champion in some events. There is an argument for Hunter who was all state in football, helped lead his basketball team(was all district as well) to the state tourney (so did Shankle) and was a great track star in multiple events. Hunter went on to Grambling to become an All-American and play 8 seasons in the NFL. Also of note, Desmond Doss is still the only athlete in school history to be district MVP in both football and basketball. He accomplished this back in the '04-'05 season, Silsbee's first as a 3A school.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1248626" timestamp="1345650226"] Not I man! Don't camp out for kicks no more. Some guys broke into GreensPoint Mall last night thru the roof and tried to steal 45 pair. If you are a shoe collector like me, there some websites that release these shoes a few months earlier. I always purchase any pair of Jordans I want this way. You may pay a extra 80-100 but it's better than getting up at 3am to go stand in line or try calling in to Eastbay to get them. [/quote] It's better not to purchase them at all. ::) $315 sneakers? No thank you.

Football season is here. What has been done and what needs to be done for us to be ready?

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1248604" timestamp="1345646900"] PNG? [/quote] Not best.

Tiger Stadium does not need a "jumbotron". Frivolous. Rather see that money spent on necessary needs. Besides, if you get a "jumbotron", you would want to use it to it's maximum capabilities and that would involve having a minimum of 3-5 people operating it, maybe more. Take it from me (a person that is in the press box at every home game), Silsbee has trouble getting someone to run the scoreboard on a regular basis and also there is really no room in the press box for a crew to run the "tron". Turf? Yes. Jumbotron? NO!!

[quote name="BHFAN" post="1248549" timestamp="1345641589"] I would think this is a yearly thing with Chambers county I know BH, EC and Anahuac have all been in the playoffs. ( insert BH one and done joke here ----->) [/quote] It's not a yearly thing. Anahuac did not make the playoffs last year.

Hardin County has West Hardin too.

[quote name="PURPLE 4EVER" post="1248540" timestamp="1345640253"] I will make a presence this Friday at the scrimmage in Dayton. [/quote] The scrimmage is Thursday. ::)

[quote name="TheRef" post="1248482" timestamp="1345612668"] Was told at our meeting last night that due to lack of funds High Island ISD has cancelled all athletic programs. [/quote] High Island did scrimmage Orange Community Christian last Saturday. If they were going to cancel all athletics, why even start practicing football and play a scrimmage?

Ah, an actual game. Worthy of a prediction. ;) ;D Vidor        36 Sante Fe  13

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1248372" timestamp="1345594773"] Aggie, is Ozen on [b]Silver's[/b] preseason schedule this upcoming season? IF so what gym? [/quote] If you are meaning Sigler, I was told that Silsbee will be playing Ozen at Ozen the week after the Fred Williams Classic.

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.
