KF89

That’s not correct, Runner slid into first was going to be a close play, First baseman missed the ball due to an errant throw, runner got up to run to second and was grabbed on the shoulder and pulled down by the first baseman and was holding runner down, runner got up shoved the first baseman then second baseman came in and tried to tackle runner, second baseman started throwing fist to stomach of the runner, Assistant Coach from Hardin got hit from one as well trying to break them apart, then benches cleared, Everyone from kountze that was on the field moved there position and headed to the scuffle, the only two that did not reach the pile of the scuffle was the SS and LF from kountze. Everyone else from the field left there position. Yes Hardin suspended their whole team for leaving the dugout there position, Kountze only suspended a few off the bench plus first and second baseman  and two team mangers. I don’t know what the final outcome will be the district committee and UIL are looking into everything and has the video and will meet to determine if the suspensions were adequate.  Both sides Coach’s and umpires actually did a great job de-escalating the situation. 

Spent the last 5 years at Oak Ridge, was safeties coach last year. On Galena Park coaching staff prior to Oak Ridge.

I would agree about GCM. Most of their games have been close, usually decided in the last inning or two on one play, like the walkoff passed ball last night. They had the potential winning run taken off the board in the top of the 7th on a questionable running lane interference call which looked like an E-3 to me instead of interference. At least that's what I think that's what the call was...the cold 20+ mph wind blowing straight in from CF sometimes made it hard to concentrate on the game.
Their tough schedule front loaded with the top four teams in the district in the first four weeks certainly didn't help either. Now they get the opportunity to play spoiler against PNG on Friday at home and Sterling next week, which should be all good games.

Would love to see that too.  HOWEVER, not only mighty early, the strength of schedule (SOS) will hurt tremendously.  Latest RPI (Boyd's World as the NCAA utilized is not updated yet to my knowledge) has LU at 41 with a SOS of 240.  The SOS won't raise much or any for the remainder of the season. SLC opponents are scattered from 120 to 230 range, thus no real bump and few strong mid week teams left. Also have TSU that is very low and Alcorn with the lowest RPI (305) in the nation. 
A 3 seed, as a 2 seed is essentially the same for tournament design purposes, would be great.  Have to agree with my Uncle Spidey on that one. 

Nederland-4    GCM- 1   Final

BH should never get beat this bad. Congrats to Ned

In 2014 Nederland won game 1 of a 1st round playoff series then lost games 2 & 3. vs. Barbers Hill
Game 1- Nederland- 8   B.H.- 4
Game 2- B.H.- 5  Nederland- 4
Game 3- B.H.- 2   Nederland- 1

B.H.- 2   Nederland- 0   Final

I believe that’s their leadoff hitter.  He will be out for next game against GCM

West Sabine- 9  Brookeland- 0  Final
Chester- 4  Broaddus- 3  Final

Sabine Pass- 20
Hull-Daisetta- 0

This district race will be crazy it seems…Buna 0-2 in district for the first time in probably a long time. 

Thanks for the updates.  I know  it’s difficult hitting all the different sources to get updates.  It is greatly appreciated.  

GCM 0 - Crosby 3

Masters comes with the administrators certification. Many AD positions require the admin cert…That’s one way they can pay and keep AD out of the classroom. 

80 percent AD’s/Head football coaches don’t have a masters.. PNG head coach don’t, BC coach doesn’t, vidor coach doesn’t, HJ coach doesn’t, ex Nederland coach didn’t, pa coach doesn’t 
 
so the masters thing is false 

Updated schedule due to weather
1:00 pm Nederland vs HJ
3:00 pm BC vs HJ
5:00 pm BC vs Livingston
7:00 pm Jasper vs HF

I hope our kids can play well this weekend. It would be good for them to win a game or two.

As an African American man who grew up in Beaumont Texas, I am the last person who would try to bring down one of our kids. (We DO NOT do that)  That makes absolutely no sense and I’m not sure how or why someone who is not from where I from is insulted. No idiot in their right mind would compare a professional hall of famer to a 17 year old kid. I guess I need to give a lecture on context clues/ reading skills. If your understanding is bad that’s one thing. We in the Pear Orchard are bout uplifting our community and wanting our kids to be successful. I’ve been going to the state tournament since 1986 and I want BU to win it again. It’s unfortunate Dotson got hurt. My prayers are up for him and his family. I also pray that the level of comprehension some people have is improved. As of right now… nevermind. Let’s go BU! The only thing good from Round Rock is Round Rock Donuts!

First of all, in regards to the #1 seed game. I know that Orangefield wanted to flip and not play but Kountze said no. They wanted to play the game. So Orangefield had to agree to play or concede the #1 seed.
As for the superlatives go, I actually thought that Whitmire and Joubert should have been Co-COY. They both did tremendous jobs with their respective teams. I usually don't like Co's but in this case I think it's deserving and would have been the right thing to do.
I think the coaches got the MVP right. IMO, Sells is the best player and performed that way all season. I think Scales getting Offensive MVP is right on the money and Wrinkle getting Defensive was the correct call too. IMO, Wrinkle was more valuable to his team but isn't the scorer that Scales is. This is based on some of the games I have watched live and on video. When I talk to folks at the games it's always brought up how Wrinkle is Orangefield's "glue guy" (does it all) but just doesn't have the offensive game that Scales has. 
All in all, I think the coaches have it right.
Just my opinion. No shade thrown anywhere.

It doesn't matter what any of us think.  It's the district coaches' decision and they picked the best player on the best team so it can't be that egregious. 
I do think there should be some accountability with these votes, though.  These are public schools so the voting should be open to public record.  Maybe they could even do it at a place like Twin Peaks and people could present their case with film and stats.  Then we could see who voted for who without all the backwoods politicking. I think I would go to that all district meeting. 

Stil not sure what the extent of Dotsons injury is. And again - this Kobe fun fact has nothing to do with a high school kid. Just pointing out how he willed through an avulsion fracture in his index finger (shooting hand) essentially for an entire season and won a nba championship:
Fun fact: Kobe Bryant won the 2010 Championship while playing with a broken index finger on his shooting hand 
  We hear a lot about Michael Jordan's Flu Game and how tough and legendary his performances are. But as always with Kobe, there are a lot of things that tend to get forgotten and overlooked.
One such tidbit is the fact that he played in all playoff games during the 2010 championship run and won a ring while playing with a broken index finger in his shooting hand.
Essentially, he re-crafted his entire shooting motion to adjust to the injury and played through it.
