Yes, you would lose that game. All pushes(ties) result in an incorrect pick. In your case Robert, if you were to choose Central, they would need to win by 6 to cover the 5 point spread. Also, everyone please make your picks in bold or just list them by themselves.

No. You use the point spreads that I have gotten off of HoopInsider's picks.

Just make sure you include all 10 of them next time. right i fixed it lol... whatd i get the loses on which games, i never got a chance to check up on it The thread is still up. And you still only picked 9 games even after you corrected it.

Here are Friday night's pickems: Ozen (-11) @ LCM Central (-5) @ PNG Lumberton @ Nederland (-21) Vidor @ Livingston (-16) WOS (-19) @ Bridge City Hardin-Jeff (-35) @ Hamshire-Fannett Silsbee (-16) @ Orangefield Hardin @ Anahuac (-40) Buna @ Kountze (-29) Deweyville @ East Chambers (-6) Remember to consider the point spreads when you make your picks.

Just make sure you include all 10 of them next time.

They don't bus over there either. I was not intending that statement as a result of the busing, but as a result of the taks issue! I GAURANTEE you can't find five school districts in the entire state that have this requirement! I don't think you can find one. Someone looked into it and unless they are wrong it's unconstitutional. Unconstitutional to set school policy? I'm only passing along information. That was the opinion. We didn't just get the information from a guy off the street either. Some policies are made by people that are in higher positions than the school board. TD, I've googled all morning and cannot find anywhere that states anything unconstitutional about TAKS testing and UIL competition. I know people think this is a non-issue, but why would the board bring this up if not serious? Are they that ignorant to know it would add insult to injury after the buss ordeal? I wanted to give some clarification about the TAKS testing issue and the Constitution...I'm Aggies wife and was the sponsor of an extracurricular group that had academic restrictions that must be met prior to being accepted in to the group. In our national organization, there were a couple of cases that reached the Supreme Court relating to this subject. In one case, a student had not been selected to be in Honor Society because he had a questionable conduct record throughout high school. The attorneys for the student held the position that the student was academically qualified and therefore had a right to be a part of the group. The court found in favor of the district saying that exclusion from an extra-curricular activity was not a violation of the student's civil rights. In a similar case, a student was dismissed from the organization due to an inability to maintain academic standards held by the national and/or local constitution and bylaws of the organization. The courts again ruled in favor of the district in this case stating that belonging to an extracurricular activity is a choice and had no bearing on the public funded education of the student, and although it was a privilege to hold a part in such activities, it was not an "unalienable (constitutional/God given) right" to be excluded from such an organization, nor was it an entitlement. Summing up, I would think that athletics is also considered an extracurricular activity. It is not a required part of the curriculum. State education code and graduation standards do mandate a certain number of p.e. credits. It's just that some students choose to fulfill that part of their requirement by the choice to par ticpate in an athletic (or band, or cheerleader, or drill team) organization. I cannot speak on the validity of local policies put into effect related to TAKS or any other district or state requirements. I just wanted to comment that the courts had ruled that not being a part or excluded from of an extracurricular activity was not a violation of a student's Constitutional, civil, or unalienable rights or entitlements. I'm no legal expert of course, just a lowly teacher passing on what I hope is helpful.

That was not the case, UKCats. Silsbee pressed to start the third quarter but by mid quarter, called it off. Silsbee did most of their scoring in the fourth quarter on BC mistakes, mostly layups and offensive rebound putbacks. The Tigers killed the Cards on the boards.

Haters? Only people hating on this thread is the WOS fans hating on their school board.

Silsbee only suited out 9 players last night. Starting post Stallworth did not play for medical reasons and 2 other players are ineligible. The JV player that I thought would be moved up will not be moved up till Feb. 4. All 9 players are the regular rotation for Silsbee, minus Stallworth. that does help explain it. the only retort i have to that is that if all 9 are in the regular rotation, the common reasoning "you can't ask your subs to come in and not give 100%" does not really apply, and the foot should've been taken off the gas rather than pressed down harder. Having broadcasted the game, I can only say you just had to be there to see how the game unfolded. If you were not there, I can see where someone would think the foot stayed pressed down. This really wasn't the case.

You forgot about Stallworth, so they are 10 deep. They have been about 11 deep all year. I don't know where some of these people got the 12-14 deep. I have seen 90% of Silsbee's games this year, they regularly rotate 11 players, all seeing first half action and most times first quarter action. It's just how Travis plays it.

I have got a question. If Dan Ray is adament about keeping the bus transportation going, then why don't he suggest to the board that he will take a $15,000 cut in pay in order to help fund the program. Like he said, it is for the kids, cut people instead. :

You first got to live in the school district to vote in this one, grad. :

Just giving you guys a head start, you know, false sense of security. We still got 80 more games to pick, it's a marathon, not a sprint.
