Decided not to take in the jeep weekend this year. Just too crazy. Besides, today was closing ceremonies at Silsbee Little League for my grandson. Had to attend that.

Didn't change baseball and softball since they are still in season.

Hardin is in Anahuac's district. Other than the non district schedule, the opponents are basically the same.

This post is dripping with sarcasm. C'mon Chuck, just be honest with your posts for a change.

BISD Board to consider naming stadium after Carrol “Butch” Thomas
AggiesAreWe replied to bullets13's topic in Local Headlines
BREAKING: Beaumont ISD school board votes against returning the name of Carrol A. "Butch" Thomas Educational Support Center to the football stadium. The BISD board voted 4-3 against returning the name of Dr. Carrol Thomas to the football stadium. It was renamed BISD Memorial Stadium in 2018. Dr. Thomas is a former superintendent. Supporters say his tenure merits placing his name back on the stadium. Critics argue problems that occurred in the district during his tenure should keep his name off the stadium. Stacey Lewis Jr. made the motion to rename the stadium after Dr. Thomas. He says his constituents demand the return and were hurt when the name was taken off the facility. He says the naming rights issue is separate and hasn't led to a company deciding to pay the district for those rights. Board member Denise Spooner says the naming rights are important for district revenue, and she says many of the 6,000 constituents who voted for her don't support the return. She says if Dr. Thomas' name is placed back on the stadium, more people will continue to leave the district. She says his leadership is not something to be celebrated. She says to "honor a man who profoundly failed the community" is the wrong message to send. She says the district may never recover from the damage if it makes the change. Board president Robert Dunn asked Stacey Lewis to amend his motion to approve the renaming only if enough donations are given to the district to pay for the renaming, to avoid using taxpayer dollars. He wants to sell the naming rights. Lewis declined. -
How is that possible?

The folks just need to move the name at West Brook's on campus stadium to the newer stadium. Alex Durley is very deserving of having his name on that stadium for all to see. Or name it Jerry Levias Stadium. He is more deserving than Dr. Thomas. Another would be to combine the name, call it Durley-Levias Stadium. -

His offers are from the high level camps he has attended. -
You can compete in the upper classification. All depends on the sport and what local schools participate. East Chambers is 3A but they compete in a 4A soccer district.

HJ is getting turf.
-
The foundation and drain system for turf has already been installed when the stadium was built.
-
Silsbee school board last night approved the turfing of Tiger Stadium. They will start the day after graduation and should be ready for 2022 football season. The practice field and baseball and softball fields will be turfed also. Next project will be new game day field house on west end of stadium. All were approved last night.

I have stated that I am against an all abortion right. I am also against anti abortion. Shouldn't be broad stroke law for either side.
