I talked to him on many occasions. Great guy. Will be missed.

It would make much more sense to split 6A into divisions and not create a 7A.

Jasper. Always Jasper

and then it dropping back off when he left.

Been in Florida the last couple of weeks. Have not been to Bolivar since the red signs were posted. Going down there next week though. This happens when there is a lot of rain. Fresh water drainage coupled with the warm waters in the Gulf causes the high bacteria count. Plus, some people are just not sanitary.

I can

I'm 58 years old. Never needed to carry before and don't need to carry now. Carry on.

According to several local coaches, they think this group is better. Much deeper team than the Adams, McCain, Bush group. Time will tell.

I am a bit curious as to why the high turnover rate for boys head basketball coach. Won't this be like 6 different head coaches in a 10-12 year span?

Maybe some of you should take this argument to the football forum. Could get some responses.

UIL should check the financials

Those were the best. These will not be as good.

You would think those folks would take a different route since knowing this was a trap area. 90, 105, 59

FYI, Lamar State Port Arthur is not Lamar University Silsbee's Landyn Tyler will be transferring to Lamar State Port Arthur

Congrats to Coach Williams. He will be retiring but word is he will be coaching at another school in the very near future.

Silsbee is in Div. II

Lot's of booster clubs and other organizations count on raising money at Friday night games. If you can stay home and still watch the game, most folks will stay home. Also, the majority of stadium press boxes just do not have the capacity to host multiple broadcast entities. Some will be forced out, mainly folks like us who only do audio.

Think this is a mistake, but oh well.

That's a good thing

I'm against it. That's a good question. I assume it will only be in play for games involving 6A and 5A teams. Any other games would not have a shot clock. Be tough to have tournaments with a mixture of 6A-1A.

smh

I agree and so does my wife. She was ok with paying the 15%. She looked at it as a fee for getting two salaries. This is definitely not about politics but obviously some want to make it out to be.

You would be surprised.

The problem is that most smaller school districts will now not be able to afford to hire retired teachers due to the fact that they will have to kick in the 15% to TRS. Before, if a retired teacher sat out a year (which is mandatory) then rehired to teach (which enables the teacher to draw two salaries) that teacher had to kick in the 15% of the rehire salary to TRS. There are a lot of school districts that hire retired teachers but having them pay the 15% will knock most of these districts out of the loop. My wife just retired from teaching after 32 years. We are moving to the beach. She had planned to sit out her mandatory year and hire in at either East Chambers, Hamshire-Fannett, High Island or Galveston ISD (Crenshaw Elementary on Bolivar). Other than GISD, I highly doubt the other school districts will be willing to hire due to the 15%.
