Astros Penalty
JSnipes replied to Peppermint Patty's topic in Professional Sports- NFL, NBA, MLB, Etc
I don't think this is anywhere close to just the Astros. I think it may be a problem bigger than MLB knows at the moments. I'm thinking the fact this may be more wide spread than two teams is what kept Luhnow from being banned for life. I know a lot of sports writers thought that was coming. I have been Astros fan since for 30 years; since I discovered baseball and I agree with how hard MLB came down on the Astros and the firing of Hinch and Luhnow. This organization was under your control and you allowed cheating to take place. That's 100% unacceptable and whether you win or lose you need to do things the right way. However, I don't think there is truth to stripping them of the WS Title. You would have to strip so many WS Title's through the years if you did that. I think they need to try and hire Craig Biggio (don't know if he would be interested). Give the fans a familiar name and face and someone they feel like they can trust. -
Lumberton 55 Little Cypress-Mauriceville 48/FINAL

Okay. I saw LCM earlier this year and they just played half court man to man. Didn’t foul much that game either. Very disciplined on defense. -

Does Lumberton press? -
I can't imagine 4 teams ever being changed. Once UIL has went there, I can't imagine one being taken away. The problem I see with taking 4 teams is breaking into two different classifications for 2A-4A. The numbers seem to support the idea of two divisions and four teams making the playoffs much better in 5A and 6A. These are the percentages currently making the playoffs right now in 2A-4A: 2A D1: 68% of teams 2A D2: 71% of teams 3A D1: 60% of teams 3A D2: 61% of teams 4A D1: 70% of teams 4A D2: 71% of teams Some Regions have nearly 75% of teams making the playoffs. We will always see some 4 seeds beating 1 seeds because upsets happen and some districts are much stronger and deeper than others. I'm not 100% how it works, but Louisiana does some type of Power Ranking to seed the playoffs. Texas is way too big to do that across the state, but you could do that per Region. I'm sure for some districts the 5th place team may be better than a 3rd or 4th place team in the playoffs from another district. Since such a high percentage of teams are getting in why not seed each Region from #1-#16 and play it that way. That will also keep the possibility of two of the top teams meeting so early. I would like to see the end of such small districts when allowing four teams in, but I don't see how they can do that when there are only so many teams in a classification trying to fill 16 playoff spots per Region for 4 Regions.

Kountze has won several times. PNG has won 3 I believe and Beaumont French won several. Very few teams from our area have even been to the state tournament. Huffman has their hands full with Midlothian. Midlothian should win that 3-0.

I’m pretty familiar with Bellville and 4A. I coached at HF for 10 years. I remember Bellville from the days that Precious was owning the court. I’m much less familiar with 3A besides the 4 years o have been there. I don’t know the last time Woodville won district. Central Heights has dominated that district. The problem Woodville has encountered several years is they run into Hardin in round two. I thought they were upset in round 1 last year but then would have run into East Bernard in the second round. Very tough 2nd round games. CH, WV, and Diboll are very good this year. One of them may have to play EB in the second round right now. There will be worse teams in the Region advancing to round 3.

The coverage is not very good. If it wasn’t for Elam, we wouldn’t know the scores to hardly any games. KOGT does a good job of reporting Orange County, but I believe coaches report the scores unless Van is at the game. Coaches also don’t do a great job of reporting scores. However, how many football coaches have to report scores on Friday nights? I get volleyball isn’t going to get any coverage on Fridays, but it could be covered much better on Tuesdays. As to the rankings, the guy who makes them goes off maxpreps or what is sent to him. I know some of those records are inaccurate. And, missing from 3A is Woodville. They are a very good volleyball team and Central Heights, Diboll, and Woodville may all be top 15 teams in the state...coming from the same district.

I believe it was Miste Henderson.

Coach Johnson retired before the start of last season. The coach who coached last year is not coming back I guess because the head volleyball job for Tarkington has been open for a while.

Ohio State did a 10 year study on athletes that specialized in a sport versus athletes that did not. What they found is the athletes (as a whole) that specialized were more prone to injury, had less agility, and never improved their skills that are complimentary to that sport; so they were less athletic overall. Here is another article about specializing versus not specializing: [Hidden Content] -
So You Want To Rag On a HS Kid For a Bad Play
JSnipes replied to Hagar's topic in High School Boys Basketball
I know Harden is scoring a lot, but they don't get their past two wins without game tying/winning shots in the final seconds by Eric Gordon. -
I was assuming never, but I graduated in 2001. Never know what happened before my time.
-
I am a graduate of PNG and it looks as if they have a fantastic shot of making the playoffs. When was the last time girls basketball made the playoffs?
-
Thanks!

Who had the scoop and score for EC? Who had the big INT return?
-
It's ridiculous. I don't see him doing that when he runs for 1 yard, 2 yards, losses yards, or fumbles. I also find it amazing that Zeke, and others, can do nothing throughout a game, have one good play, and want to showboat. Zeke could have 15 carries for 20 yards, break off a run off 8 yards and start eating his bowl of cereal. Just play the game... How about going back and giving each person who blocked for you a tap on the helmet and a good job for allowing you to get some positive yards. He wouldn't make it too far if they took a play off.

Dodgers/Red Sox World Series
JSnipes replied to Tigers2010's topic in Professional Sports- NFL, NBA, MLB, Etc
Life long Astros fan, but I have always liked the Red Sox (I hate the Yankees). The Red Sox may have won the series against the Astros 4-1, but that could have been 4-1 the other way. The Red Sox hitting with 2 outs in the ALCS and WS was absolutely insane! If they just hit normal with 2 outs then they don't get past the Astros. But, that doesn't matter. There are three outs in an inning, not two. The Red Sox deserve to the WS Champions this year. They were the best team. I don't think you can judge a series solely based on if it's 4-3, 4-2, 4-1, or 4-0. The Astro's and Red Sox 5 game series was much different than the Dodgers and Red Sox 5 game series. It really seems to me the top 3, maybe the top 4 teams in baseball were in the AL this year. Hope the Astros and Red Sox are able to meet in the ALCS again next year. Both teams play a good brand of baseball and can explode at any moment. -
ALCS- Astros vs Red Sox
JSnipes replied to PhatMack19's topic in Professional Sports- NFL, NBA, MLB, Etc
The Red Sox did everything right to win the series. Don't know what the final number were, but at one point last night the Red Sox had 17 of their 36 hits coming with 2 strikes and 19 of their 26 runs with 2 outs. That was all before the 3 run homer. That is insane to hit like that with 2 strikes and/or 2 outs. Every ball, nearly, fell the Red Sox way. How many ball did the Astros hit to the warning track? If they Red Sox had to make an amazing catch, they did. If they had to make a great throw, they did. If they had to have a big hit, they did. If the Astros had to make a great catch, they were just short on a few. If they had to make a great throw, they missed on one or two. If they had to have a big hit, they came up short sometimes. I thought the Astros played good baseball overall throughout the series. The Red Sox just played unbelievable baseball. It's just a reminder how hard it is to win a World Series and how awesome last year was. Hopefully, Crane will open his check book and sign Correa and Bregman. If he wants to make money, he should. You make a lot of money when you have 3 million fans in a season. Don't sign those guys and you lose a lot of money when you are down to 2 million. -
Agreed. I can't figure out why they continue to put Jake Marisnick in the line-up. I actually like the guy and enjoyed getting to watch him last year, but just stop it already. 122 at bats, 20 hits, 59 strikeouts and 4 walks. It's almost an automatic out. Just stop it already. Marisnick and Fisher just look like they may not have it and Reddick is struggling. It's time for Tucker to get some swings and see what he can do.
-
Yes they did. Didn't play the second half of either game. Can't beat a great team playing two quarters.
-
I thought the biggest play of the night was in the 3rd Quarter. James Harden was fouled by Klay Thompson. He hit the three, but they said non-shooting foul. Had that counted and he hit the free throw they would have been up 15. Instead, they turn it over and Durant goes down to hit a three. Only up by 8. That's pretty deflating. I think it was game 5, but the same foul was called on Clint Capela on Steph Curry and it was a shooting foul. I don't think the officials know what to call a shooting foul anymore. They should score much more than 15 in a quarter and better than 7-44 from three, but I thought that was a huge call.

Who all Qualified for state in SETX?
JSnipes replied to BADSANTA's topic in High School Track & Field/Cross Country
Kelli Silcox in high jump--East Chambers Jalynn Guillory in long jump--East Chambers Brianna Arline in long jump--Kountze Several athletes in the 4A division from area as well. Droddy from PNG is going in the girls long jump, not high jump. Although she could probably be pretty good that the event as well. -
Well, at least it isn't as easy as their volleyball district
