For Silsbee it's very debatable.

I was shocked myself when told about it yesterday. Bridge City is supposed to make announcement today.

Got word of it this evening. Details should be coming out tomorrow.

Those were the numbers at the beginning of school. Yesterday's enrollment number at the high school was 529. The 8th grade number was 140. This year's senior class as of yesterday was 121. This info came from someone in the know at the high school (looks at the enrollment numbers daily). Take the 121 from 529 and you get 408. Add the incoming 8th grade's 140, you have 548 for next school year.

Show me

Orangefield will not be moving up. They currently have 529 in HS. The 8th grade class is a descent size class but will not push them over the top to get them into 4A DII. My source says they may get to 550 but that will still be short of 4A DII.

Word I got was this is a coaching move for Barrier and not so much shopping his son. Rusk is definitely in play since Barrier used to work with the head coach when they both were in Jacksonville and the two are very good friends.

If you insist on keeping score, it's 1-7. Aggie women's golf team just beat lady horns.

Why are the Barrier's looking elsewhere? Did Neece fire Barrier?

Silsbee defense will find it hard to replace WRS award winning linebacker Jayron Williams. Also lose two key defensive back players in Harper and Martin. But they have some really good returning players (five all district players on that side of the ball). Offense will not miss a beat with the new transfer QB from San Antonio. Need a couple of OL to replace but majority is back. Two of the top three RB's return and 3 WR including WRS winner Miller. I pick Silsbee to win district.

Silsbee went 1-2 in pool play and failed to advance to qualifying round.

I have always said just send 2, but I'm old school that way. But, if you are going to send 4 teams, make sure every district has a minimum 7 teams in it. I don't like 4 teams going out of 4, 5 and even 6 team districts. Also, every #1 seed (district champ) should host a 1st round playoff game. Another incentive to win district.

When did Hull-Daisetta join this district and are they going to be THAT good?

The Barrier duo has decided not to go to Nederland

Basketball is no longer in the equation for Dre'lon. He will be there.

I have not received a message here from you. I have not received a message on Facebook.

No idea why he hasn't received a confirmation email. Sounds like operator error. I have not received a message from Mr. Scales.

In regards to that last comment, yes it can. Got too much beachin to do.

I was at the game last year. Anahuac moved the ball well in the first half but Newton led 16-14 at half. Newton dialed up the pressure in 2nd half, sacking the freshman QB several times and picking him off twice. Made him make some rookie mistakes. I will be very interested in the progress this young man will have to make going from 3A ball to 5A ball as a soph. I think he has potential but I predict a rough season for him.

EC lost several seniors. 4 starters and 2 key reserves.

Astros are currently 8th in the American League in runs scored (out of 15 teams) and 3rd in runs allowed (out of 15 teams). They are projected to win 92 games and finish tied for 1st in the West. I agree that they will have to win the division to make playoffs (don't see a wild card coming out of the division). Astros are currently without 3 starting pitchers and 3 every day players. I like their chances and willing to wager 4 figures to show my confidence.

Care to make a wager on your prediction?

Wrong assistant. Scales wants the assistant Shores, not Bethea.

There was a thread for this already started.

I say play as many sports as possible at the high school and under level. Can't get those memories back. I don't think "football only guys" quit other sports right at their senior seasons. It's done years before. I don't need to post my name. Everyone knows me. lol
