[/quote] If the current Coach is truly the one who innocently brought this out in the open, then I applaud him; however, pointing fingers is EXACTLY what needs to happen.  If someone at WOS schools is involved (old, new or current), then it should be investigated.  School records were changed for crying out loud.  The pile is too big to sweep under the rug...YES, we need the smoking gun (and whomever pulled the trigger). [/quote] Smoking gun for what?  The player involved in this has been declared ineligible and will never participate in any high school competition ever again.  The player in question was eligible for every other high school year which he participated so no player was wrongfully on the field as a result of this. Sounds like some wants to stomp around to try and transform all of those years of sour grapes. [/quote] No sour grapes here.  The issue is no longer the eligibility...the issue is criminal activity in the school district.  I have nothing, whatsoever, against WOS.  If you weren't from WOS then you might have a more objective point of view.  Let's say someone attempts to do something illegal but their plan is unsuccessful...isn't a crime still committed?  WHO CHANGED THE SCHOOL DOCUMENTS!!!  I don't want anything to happen to the athlete (other than a lesson learned).  I want to know who changed the documents, and I want to know what is going to be done about their criminal activity.  Quit blinding yourselves with school loyalty and start trying to figure out who committed the crime!

I'm not real sure, but some guy from Silsbee told me the Tigers would probably win.

I know Lum White won the 'bowl last year.  Who looks bettter this year? White or Red?

I don't know the coach, the athlete or the athlete's family, so I cannot comment on where the whole thing went south; however, I do have common sense.  If anyone out there disputes something weird was INTENTIONALLY going on, then you need to have your head checked.  It would be interesting to know who coached the boy (family/coach/himself/whomever) to give the incorrect age.  It would also be very interesting to know who marked through the dates in the SCHOOL/COACHES RECORDS!  Believe me...all we are lacking is the smoking gun.  Hope WOS has a good season without him, as I am sure they will.  I also hope this kid puts this mess behind him amnd uses it as a lesson that lying/cheating/selective memory can get you in trouble.

Still very early in the season, but I agree with most of your picks 85.  The scores still have not posted...anywhere else I can find out week 1 winners?

[quote name="thetragichippy" post="1043856" timestamp="1314627749"] They're are always things said in the stand......"kill em"...", lay him out", "hurt someone"......you just have to ignore them. People are generally good and they don't mean it literally......... If your looking for drama, you can ALWAYS find it...... [/quote] AMEN to that...

Don't sweat it 'b.  Whomever made those comments will die one day and burn in Hell for eternity.  I wouldn't worry too much...

Definitely an STJFL board matter; however, it's too bad that a group of adult coaches had to sour the post season chances for a group of kids that had no part in the matter (except for doing what they were told).  Gotta play by the rules coaches!  Like I said in my post earlier, it was more than just a small innocent oversight.  Those guys intentionally broke the rules.  Sorry kids...

Anymore PeeWee Tackle scores???

They don't rebuild, they reload!! Lumberton Red spanked KTZ last week. And we all know about Lumberton White. 10+ players returning along with the coach. Plus they play in a week division. They should blast every team by 20+. Lumberton White will Repeat!! Back2Back [/quote] I love the enthusiasm!!!!! I love football!!! [/quote] I think the Lumberton teams will be good as always (just ask them...they will tell you).  I actually saw Red scrimmage Kountze.  My pick is with them...but who knows.  Olexa's White team is usually very solid.  Let's see what happens tomorrow.

Regardless of inncocent rookie mistakes...hand-picking a team and only allowing certain players to play on a team is more than an oversight of confusing rules.

Preach on Brother!

So where's the coach?  I think it's a league rule that he has to be there a majority of the time...

You said it...break often & hydrate those boys!  That's what we do too.  Coaches, don't be shy.  You need the fluids too!
