Unbelievable!!! No Central! ::) Soulja, what say you?

Hmmmm.... Kirbyville #10, WOS #20. I don't think so. Reverse them would be better. (I also think Jasper and Silsbee should be higher)

But College Sporting News doesn't say which philosophy is better in the recruiting angle. Just states that Lamar has a lot of transfers and Texas St. doesn't. So what does that prove? Absolutely nothing. TT, you are the only one saying it's a bad decision. Only time will tell if it is or not.

[quote name="LUFAN" post="821833" timestamp="1280429569"] Well here is the things I know terror did not agree with. 1) We did not hire a big name coach 2) We are going to play in the SLC in 2011 3) We brought in to many transfers 4) We did not do a good enough job marketing our start up [/quote] So let me get this straight. Because TT did not agree with these decisions, that makes them bad decisions. Okay.... ::) (and people thought electing Obama as President was a good decision) ;)

Hey! They were supposed to!  If they lose, you start talking about a huge upset going which provides that much extra of a confidence boost for the Mustangs along the Sabine. [/quote] All so very true, Grad. But I bet there will still be one or two WOS fans(you know who they are) that will come up with some excuses if WOS loses this game. ;)

[quote name="utfan06" post="821820" timestamp="1280427998"] AAW you said earlier that the two Seniors helped out Kountze in the second day of pool play?? LOL Zay is the only senior on the team this year:) [b]Lynn is a Jr.[/b] :) [/quote] Maybe so, but his last year to play. Heard he was opting out of his senior year to go pro. ;)

SLC teams: Lamar      2971 SFA          2419 Texas St.  1654 UTSA        1553 A&M CC    1543 SHSU        1434 Northwestern  1268 C. Ark.        1134 UTA            756 Southeastern  746 McNeese        550 Nicholls          328

[b]Among Woodard's goals when he made the schedule was to play as many Southland teams as possible. Woodard scheduled games against those schools for early in the season because the league locks them into playing conference games late in the season[/b] The reason these are early season games. ;) [b]Lamar's fifth game this season will be against a fourth Southland team, Sam Houston State, picked to finish in the lower half of the eight-team league[/b] Maybe this is a winable game for the Cards. ;) ;D

Why is everybody behind? Silsbee started 2 a days three weeks ago. oops ;D

This thread....... ::)

Having Jasper, Silsbee, Livingston and Cleveland in the same district would bring back some old 4A memories from way back. These schools used to be in the same 4A district many years ago.

Can't wait to see how Matt has our local 3A's and 2A's. Great stuff, Matt. Keep it coming.

Our local 5A: District 19-5A Baytown Lee 1860 Baytown Memorial 1646 Bmt. Central 1624 Crosby 1448 Nederland 1459 Dayton 1434

Our local 6A: District 22-6A Baytown Sterling 2338 Beaumont West Brook 2467 Pt Arthur Memorial 2460 Channelview 2285 LaPorte 2278 Galena Park North Shore 4416

Good stuff, Matt. This is what our local 4A districts could look like: District 19-4A Jasper 770 Silsbee 853 Livingston 1148 Huffman 924 Cleveland 886 Splendora 910 District 20-4A Bmt. Ozen 1227 Barbers Hill 1181 LCM 1125 Lumberton 1063.5 PNG 1401 Vidor 1416

She was accomendated for her missing some time and she was allowed to get her practice pitching in during volleyball season, I know this as fact. There is no "all or nothing" rule pertaining to Silsbee volleyball. Players and coaches are and have been working things out. It is not what you are trying to make it out to be or how you are spinning it for folks here on the site. Years ago when Silsbee had another volleyball coach, that may have been the case, but it is not that way now. You might want to do some checking. [/quote] Apparently you arent up to the "facts" Mike........AND, I dont need a spin! I dealt with the current coach and assistant coach badgering my kid about playing VB just last year. I did all I could to convince her to play.......she was not willing to take the consequnces for missing, so she decided to just not play. Now if you are saying they have "changed" their policy since then.........GREAT! Still doesnt mean Ive exaggerated or added a spin! But then again when you coach the first team to NOT make the playoffs in 20 years.......maybe you should "change" something! "at a high level" well, we will just have to agree to disagree on the definition of that! I did notice you didnt even touch the other examples I stated.........cant wait to see if certain football players who were arrested for breaking into a school building OR for being arrested for drugs.....show up and participate in 2 a days! [/quote] There was no need to speak about those "other" examples. The point I was making was in regards to the volleyball/softball issue. I spoke to the volleyball coaches and they told me how it is. BTW, your other examples said nothing about football players breaking into schools and getting arrested for drugs. ;) (I know you have a personal vendetta with the football team and it's coaches, I'm cool with that) Carry on.

[quote name="Buddy09" post="821437" timestamp="1280332126"] This has been a good thread to read but am I correct in saying we are talking about "Southern Nationals",  "Southern Nationals"  come on  "Southern Nationals". Is this not the tournament for all the teams that did not qualify for the REAL Nationals. Anyone who plays ASA can attend this one. Will not be any coaches watching this one. May be time to start Volleyball practice. [/quote] WOW!!!! Now this sheds new light on the subject. ;) So anyone can play this tourney, hmmmmm..... So this team did not qualify, hmmmmmm.... No college scouts will be attending, hmmmmmmm..... This isn't the "year long trying to qualify" tourney, like it was mentioned before, hmmmmmmmm...... Interesting ;) ;D ::)

[/quote] Oh we get it.....we get that our kids #1 priority is SOFTBALL and they are willing to sacrifice many other things to achieve that goal, and when the HS coaches "get it" as you put it......maybe they will start getting more of the better athletes to play multiple sports and help their programs be more successful! Again, it doesnt have to be like that. My DD doesnt play VB because of stupid "all or none" rules. However, she does do track AT THE SAME TIME AS SOFTBALL....why? because the softball coach and track coach work together. It was made clear that softball is her priorty, the track coaches work around that. She went to regionals as a freshman in the high jump and triple jump......she also placed in the district meet in long jump. You are correct Bleed, H-J BB does require CC, thats another reason they lost BB players that are focused on SB.....the all or none method of thinking will only cause the HS sports teams to lose players.....and who does that benefit....neither! [/quote] Just what do you mean by this "all or none" rules? There are softball players that are playing volleyball at Silsbee.

[quote name="East TX" post="821302" timestamp="1280283638"] [b]I see that several of our very non-threatening logical threads were delete?????[/b] Many ADs have it in for Softball all over the country now......yet those teams that make the SB final four in all classifications are loaded with top select players--what gives?  Also, I attended the State Volleyball Tourney this past year: I guarantee every winner and runner-up team was stacked to the hilt with Club Select Team players--what gives?  These kids need college scholarship to play SB and they get them from mostly playing Select Softball, in front of a host of college scouts--what gives? As for OF the inconsistancy by ADs has killed the HS softball almost into being non-existent. The AD previous to the present, said a SB player had to play another sport. Here is sadly what happened, the Ratcliff girl was told she had to get up and run Crossounty at 6am in the off season when SB was out of season.  Here is an exceptional scholar of a youth that just wanted to play SB and her grades were paramount of importance to get an academic scholarship.  Yes she was also an exceptional proven Short Stop.  She drops out of SB...sad. Now the next AD has a totally different agenda.   If you are trying to get a college scholarship in SB and feel you need to be seen by many SB college Scouts at National--"So what"; no consideration given...select at National levels trashed-- you miss a two-a-day for Volleyball you cannot play!   I was watching BC beat a OF team this year and was thinking... Egos..have caused the demise of OFs SB team.  They had a great positive SB Coach but a lot of players are not playing because of the attitudes and lack of continuity of a few.. adults.

I will be there!!!

Silsbee proved that it knew how to defend it last year. ;) All the d-line has to do is sacrifice themselves and cut down the offensive lineman before they can carry out their blocking assignments. The linebackers and safeties (these DB's will be up in the box because there is not threat of a passing game) can then tee off on the open gaps. This happened last year when Silsbee played Orangefield. Orangefield came in averaging over 420 yards rushing a game, but Silsbee held them to just 150 yards rushing. Silsbee's linebackers had a field day with the Bobcat backs, ended up knocking out their QB in the 3rd quarter. I agree, it's a good offense for small schools that lack in the athleticly skilled department. But a good defensive co. can game plan it to stop it.
