I wouldn't be surprised to see him in Concordia some time this season.

8 cases went in front of the state committee, 3 of the DEC decisions were overturned. So if there was concrete evidence that the move was not for athletic purposes, this particular state committee would have been inclined to overturn it. As to the Adam Coleman article, I'm not sure it paints Coach Terrell in the light that some earlier claimed. Here is Adam's article: [Hidden Content] Sharing Tools (Premium)&utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral While it is correct that Coach Terrell did not comment after the ruling was made, he had plenty to say during the hearing as Coleman noted in the article and there was certainly a compelling case presented that Demas moved for athletic purposes. 1. When Demas' family notified Terrell about the move, Terrell testified that he made efforts to help Demas academically but that the family fought them "every step of the way." If a family is concerned about a student's academic record, they would gladly receive help. 2. Demas' had a close relationship with Houston area trainer "Rischad Whitfield" a relationship that Coleman was well documented with Whitfield himself commenting that he a "liaison" for Demas and current Tomball quarterback Hunter Dunn. Anytime I am on a committee and I hear of a transfer and a "liason".....yeah, I am gonna lean toward a move for athletic purposes. Especially when there is testimony, as Coach Terrell did, of reports of this liaison "shopping" Demas and Dunn as a package deal to LSU, Mississippi and Oklahoma State. 3. Demas' grandfather met with Tomball head coach Kevin Flanigan before the move. Flanigan did confirm that the meeting was strictly about academics and campus life and not about the football team. However, under questioning from one of the committee members, Demas' grandfather admitted he did not meet with the Tomball principal. It is kind of telling that a member of the family who claims to be concerned about academic status would speak to the school's football coach and not school officials. 4. And perhaps most telling, while the family is concerned about the academics at North Forest, only one of three Demas' brothers, Demond, transferred to Tomball. Two younger brothers remained enrolled at North Forest. That tends to put a big dent in the move for academic purposes argument. 5. Despite concern about Demas' academic status, he remained in the district for 2 1/2 of his first three years in North Forest. After the problems that UIL went through with the AAU in basketball, it is quite easy to see why the UIL SEC ruled the way that it did. It is not a "crybaby" coach that triggered this. Perhaps, the best argument that the Demas family could have made was to show the SEC a copy of the 2019 Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine that has North Forest competing for the district title in 12-4A-I while Tomball will likely be left out of the playoffs out of 8-5A-I. But they attempted to focus on an issue that had more holes in it than a slice of swiss cheese.

Good for a local boy to showcase his skills. I wish he could have continued at OF, but if rules were that he would be ineligible, he would have to go to where he can play.

DT was not. Shaw I think was but left one year in. Earl went to school in WO-C except for a couple of years at LC-M. Now, for transfers out of the district (that I can recall) Homer Rhodes (running back)- Left WO-S to go to LC-M Shane Dronett (defensive lineman)- Played for UT in college and in the NFL - Left WO-C to go to BC Howard Dobson (starting quarterback)- Left WO-S to go to BC Trey Baldwin (two way starter on WO-S 2014) - left WO-S to attend Cy-Falls high school - currently at Louisiana Tech Starrland Baldwin (cornerback)- left WO-S to attend Cy-Falls - currently at OU Dillon Sterling-Cole (starting quarterback) - left WO-S to attend Spring Westfield - currently at Arizona State Deonte Henson (cornerback) - went to school in WO-C, not sure about WO-S transferred to West Brook Tyrone Wilson (starting quarterback) - moved out of the district from WO-S

If they have evidence, it is always okay to that the transfer is due to athletic purposes. Because here how the process works. 1. Before each season, each school fills out a "Team Sport Eligibility Form" which lists the name, date of birth, date of enrollment and the name and full address of the guardian of each player on a team. The link to that form is listed below: [Hidden Content] 2. For each student that has transferred from another school district, the current school district must file a form called the "Previous Athletic Participation Form" or "PAPF." Part of this form in filled out by the parent, part of it by the school district that the player transferred from and part of it by the school district that the student transferred to. The link to the current form is below: [Hidden Content] You will note that the part that is fill out by the former school district (which requires two signatures, that of the super of the former school and either the principal or the coach of the former school) six questions are asked, with accompanying explanations requested if yes to any of these answers: 1. Was there any conflict between the student, his/her parents and the athletic/academic supervisors at the school? 2. Was the student recruited to attend another school of was any undue influence exerted upon this student to change schools? 3. Did this student quit an athletic activity or program while enrolled in your school? 4. Was this student ever suspended or removed from your athletic program. 5. Would this student be prohibited from athletics had they not changed schools. 6. Based upon your knowledge of the student and their circumstances, is this student changing schools for athletic purposes. 3. A yes answer to any of the 6 questions question requires a hearing in front of the district executive committee, which is made up of schools in the new school's UIL district. They decide yes or no at that hearing. If the district clears him, he is eligible for athletic varsity play (if his residence meets muster). 4. If not, then he either plays sub-varsity for a year or appeals to the UIL State Executive committee which holds a hearing which is pretty much the same process in which they either affirm or overturn the district executive committee's ruling. In fact, the state committee heard several such appeals today. Any coach who has evidence can answer "yes" which will trigger a hearing. It is just that very few do so, such as Coach Thompson or Coach John Snelson, current coach at Dickinson and former coach at Pasadena Memorial. Of course, that answer doesn't always mean that the student will be declared ineligible by the DEC, such as was the case for Trey Baldwin when he left WO-S.

No drummer, we ain't doing that. You may be accurate about CB's intentions, but we ain't making this racial, from either end of the spectrum. If that is a way you wish to go, take it to the political forum.

Well, I am still waiting for your answer as to students who have transferred to WO-S to play football and you have not yet answered that question. You just wish to bang on WO-S' academic record which by whatever equation the TEA uses, ended up a C with Bridge City High ending up a B. That was not done by the WO-S super, it was from the state authority on academic standards. People ain't losing their minds. They just want you to justify your answer by showing transfers that have been made to WO-S, which you said was happening, then backtracked and said WO-S was "just an example" to back to its happening. So, which one is it?

So you are going to hang on to an outdated ranking to hang on to your narrative. Okay.

No, I think you are: [Hidden Content]

Well, since you did decide to single out that high school (who, by the way, finished just one grade below BC in the 2019 TEA Accountability Rankings), I guess you you can name the students that have transferred to that high school and played on their football team? As to the student (who by the way, was not a quarterback) when his father states that he transferred "for increased exposure to colleges," and to a high school that was only one grade higher in TEA rankings, that pretty much convinces me that the move was for athletic purposes. It not only cost the district that student, but the student's younger brother, a cornerback, who is currently at OU. The quarterback that you are alluding to transferred to Spring Westfield before the 2014 season due to his mother being hired by Spring ISD. BTW, he went on to Arizona State. None of these, as I recall, on an academic scholarship. So, as you can see, the school that you didn't mean to single out was the poached, rather than the poacher and according to the TEA isn't doing as bad academically as you wish to have folks think. Moral of the story, know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.

Well, folks. It appears that Devon got to the bottom of the problem. The third party ad company was the problem and we have switched to another company. I just checked my phone and laptop and I was pop up free. I hope all of you find the same results. But if you don't, let me know. Devon, thank you sir!

Took my ad blocker off and this is what mine looks like on a HP Laptop using Firefox with the pop up blocker confirmed enabled. Same on my phone (an android) using Google Chrome.

Guys, our web guy, Devon Mires, posted this link earlier to Apple users. It might be helpful, if you are one of those: [Hidden Content]

I meant to ask.

Wow. Someone else who knows the difference between scrimmages and regular season!

You did an excellent job there.

NO!!!!!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! This is what a post in a scrimmage thread should look like! Thank you to my good friend and partner in crime, AAW for leading the way!

Holler up at the group sitting around the 40 just below the press box, they'll know.

Now come on, AIE. You're a STANG! Be definitive! LOL!

West Hardin put it in the end zone for times, Pasadena FB none.
