Danny, I assume that Harrison's $17,000 bump from yesterday to today was based upon you getting updated numbers rather than PAISD realizing in one day that it may be underpaying it's coach.

It's either that or face a big swath of forfeitures when you lose any more than 2 folks to injury or otherwise.

I know I do.

I am sure that Kenny Harrison is texting Dr. Porterie after reading this article and the text says "We need to talk!"

My thought, as well. Hope somebody disabled that bot voting for the Battle of the Axe.

That would be pretty cool!

You can always count on Danny for the answer: Danny Shapiro‏ @DannyShapiro13 2h2 hours ago First mandatory practice for West Orange-Stark since Harvey. Coach T said team hasn't lost any varsity players. Good reason for it...

If you have only 13 players taking the field, I imagine the struggle is real. After this year, given the enrollment at Burkeville, 6 man is an option that they may seriously want to consider.

Given that the evacuations facilities from Orange were in Lake Charles and Alexandria, I have no doubt there were many players on the other side of the border. As to whether any have enrolled in schools in Lousiana, I really have no idea but it will be very obvious come Friday night.

I get what you are saying. But just so we are clear, we do not do this for anyone's pleasure (and judging from some of the comments over the years, I can safely say we have certainly held up that end) or to intentionally irritate anyone.

Actually, I just got a response back from Jeff Nelson and the game will be on the 26th. It is true that the game was changed to the 27th. But, after that change was made, Jeff Mathews requested that the game be moved back to the 26th, which was done.

Thanks.

You just had to do it, didn't you?

I kind of wish that this game of this magnitude was a little later in the season as I am not sure that we really know who these teams are at this point given the cancellations, delays and games being taken on short notice. Of course, the performance by the Eagles against Friendswood, which even surprised some of the most faithful of BH fans, would seem to make them an early favorite in this game. I don't know that this is a passing of the torch game that some make it out to be. Under Riordan, the Cougars have been able to bounce back from disappointing performances and while they go the win last week, I think most Cougar faithful would label their performance as disappointing. It is going to be a great game (oops, sorry, I forgot I am not supposed to use those words) that is too close to call as far as I am concerned.

I've emailed Coach Nelson, so hopefully we'll have that answer soon.

This is the document that I got the dates on the SETXsports schedules from: This has been represented as the schedule that the DEC voted on and approved. I will certainly check with Coach Nelson and Coach Mathews to see if there has been a change.

KSHN 99.9 used to stream the Barbers Hill games on line. You can go to their website and see. Also, I think Crosby games are on audio on Texan Live.

Ok, now I see what you are talking about.

Can you tell me where you saw where the game was scheduled for the 27th? The only schedule that I have seen, which was represented to be the one given to the schools at the DEC meeting on Friday, had, like you originally saw, that Central/Vidor was going to take place on the 26th. That is when the SETXsports schedules have and, for that matter, will unless I get official word otherwise. Danny? Ashly? Have either of you heard anything different about this game?

Nah, you'll be one of those ones who say, "Delete my account." Then, a week later will have come up with another title but the same old bull. You see, you are harboring the same ideas that you claim to be "railing against" with your posts here. You try to make it sound like Crosby deserves to be mentioned in 5A among the Aledos of the world. Perhaps such statements carry water around Lick Skillet, but I would imagine that they would garner quite a bit of laughter of the statewide stage. Thus, I would ease talk on other programs being laughing stocks. And until Crosby, does something, reaching at least a state semifinal more than once in a blue moon, the air of superiority that you attempt begins to really stink. The shame of it all is that Crosby does have a quality football program and have for a while, every since the days of Larry Haynes and Kevin Flanigan as far as I am concerned. And they currently have a super coach in Jeff Riordan. It would be easy to just to rely on that to show the quality that Crosby has. But no, that is not good enough. You feel the need to show disrespect to area programs, some who have a storied history in Texas High School football. Yes, I know, you have made it quite clear that means little to you, but the sad fact for you is that while their achievements may have been sometime in the past, they easily dwarf anything that the Cougars have accomplished then or now. Those trophies that you wish to dismiss may have collected dust, but they are still there and that is more than can be said about your beloved's trophy case. We choose to show some respect and reverence to those accomplishments because it is a matter of respect. You choose not to show such respect, that's your option. But if you expect to be lauded for it, you have definitely been posting on the wrong site for a long time and that you seem to get persistent pains in the backside because of being called out about it makes a break from this site seem appropriate. But you said you were done, what? Earlier yesterday morning? Yet you felt the need climb right back on to spread your venom and even somehow felt the need to justify it. And even now I am sure that I will hear some repartee that you believe to be witty about how you believe that West Orange-Stark's last two state championships were the result of some gift by the UIL. You see, your insults have become sickeningly predictable. But as I have said to others, SETXsports.com is not required reading, so if you wish to leave, believe me nobody will stop you. For this site was here before you or I ever climbed on, and chances are good it will be on long after both of us have signed out for the final time. Oh, and good luck on that "solid" you expect to get from the UIL and don't worry, Jasper is not moving up in classification.

Rankings are now up
