    Some people tend to forget the reason we have schools....it ain't to provide entertainment to the masses.........

    Correct. It is to provide our children with the tools they need to become productive members of society and possible future leaders of this country, Hand in hand with that - is the expectation that schools will hire the most qualified, educated and socially mature individuals for this job.  

    Having a superintendent (the person in charge of implementing the school board’s vision by making day-to-day decisions about educational programs, spending, staff, and facilities as well as hiring, supervising, and managing the central staff and principals) that is ignorant and careless enough to openly tweet about another school district and their unfounded careless spending habits is NOT someone that I would want molding my child’s future.

    Just be sure to be humble BH.....it was one game against Vidor.....be proud though. This new coach will be better than gage for sure....and don't talk about a new coaching staff....still have a lot of coaches that was there with gage that are still on staff now....big difference is the head coach can motivate and has a great system ...keep building on this win...have some good kids there with a lot of heart....but don't get cocky and start spouting off how good they are gonna be....

    Yeah - we already have one team in that district with such big heads they have to step into their shirts.

    I would never call any program a joke because by doing that you are insulting the kids who are working their tails off for those programs.  That's probably one of many differences between the two of us.  I would however call you a joke.  I'm not easily amused or entertained by folks like you who run around beating their chest and talking down about everyone else.  I've found that most people who do that usually have some insecurities that they are covering up or "compensating" for.  :)

  6. Best of luck to you and your family.  It is always hard to leave "home" and start a new chapter in life.  But; it will give your kids a prospective on community and the appreciation of being part of the Southeast Texas experience.

    I will never forget after relocating to Kingwood in the 90's and attending our first Kingwood Mustang football game; the youngest tugged on my shirt and said, "why no feathers and "burple"?  She also seemed quite miffed after coming home from elementary school and realizing there would be no pep rallies or singing "Chair-wa-kee".

    actually the game being moved back allowed the Henry kid to pitch again  which you would think would be in PNG favor

    However the SF kid pitched a heck of a game - according to the Galveston paper

    and a PNG kid hit into a double play to lose the game in extra innings 

    We went 1 & 1 against you guys with much less talent than you all or SF 

    what that means -- I don't know

    Looking forward to giving you all  another spanking this fall  - WHAT 7 IN A ROW????????

    Cant wait to hear about how good yall did in 7 x 7  bad thing is yall don't do too good in 11 x 11

     

    You don't have anything to add in the baseball forum except "we went 1 & 1 against you guys with much less talent" and then you beat your chest about football??  Hmmm..how did those bulldogs do in the baseball playoffs this year? 

     

    Oh yeah, that's right - they couldn't make the cut.

    Here is our family's story on the Katy Baseball Ruling: The KatyISD UIL district committee (6 district principals plus Strake Jesuit's principal) voted that Grant Jackman and Hayden Baker had violated the amateur rule of UIL section 441. Our baseball team will now have to forfeit 20 wins as punishment for when the time they first accepted payment for a job. And this ruling will keep the team out of the playoffs because our district wins are now losses and not enough to be in the top 4. Our families are devastated at this outcome because in no way we believe the boys broke the rule. We have appealed to the UIL state executive committee.


    We love our Katy Baseball team like our family and Grant and Hayden love their teammates like brothers. And never would we have done anything to jeopardize our own son's senior season as well as hurting the whole team's seasons.


    I would like to get our side of the story out because the news reports are not doing that. Grant and Hayden were "helping" a church friend's 7-8 year old little league team and our friend (his kids zoned to Seven Lakes) wanted to bless two college bound boys (knowing it's too hard to have regular jobs playing school sports and knowing the boys are dual sport athletes) and pay them for their time with his team as a part time job doing the "grunt work" at practices for the 3 (dad) coaches, keeping the scorebook at the games, being the bat boys, helping the catcher get his gear on and off, patting kids on the head when they came back crying because they struck out and telling them "you'll get it next time", giving high fives when they scored a run, keeping the dugout in order so kids wouldn't get hurt. Grant would also help warm up the pitcher who was the coach and then mostly sit on a bucket. They were HELPERS... Extra hands and feet! Glorified babysitters if you want to call it that. Grant and Hayden spent their younger years at Katy American as little leaguers and were enjoying spending their time out there mentoring those little guys. They were not paid to teach the players. The coach has played 4 years of college baseball and doesn't need Grant's and Hayden's knowledge to instruct his team. It's mind boggling how this committee viewed that as "teaching" which is what the rule says they can't do. They knew they couldn't get paid for lessons but that's not what they were doing. They were getting paid to help with other things with the team... NOT teach the players.


    Besides that, the rule itself isn't clear. It says you can't get valuable considerations for participating or teaching in a League sponsored school sport. League is defined in their constitution as Universal Interscholastic League. Both Robert and I believe that was for sports for grades 7th-12th in school and out of school. But the UIL interprets this rule as the whole sport of Baseball. Never would we allow Grant to take money for a job if we thought it jeopardizes his eligibility at school. If the team had been a 7th grade team we would have said absolutely NO to getting paid because they are governed by UIL and that would be a UIL sport. We wouldn't have chanced that even if they were not teaching/coaching. We've seen this rule for many years and always saw it this way... As it reads. In August 2016 this very rule that they say these boys violated is being edited to clarify that they CAN make money teaching their sport and officiating too. They are editing it because they see it as "not restricting things that don't really matter" (UIL's own words). Go figure!


    Our hearts are broken for Katy Baseball, the Katy coaches and all the families that have been hurt by this because in no way should they be punished for our mistake. We are so sorry! Punish Grant and Hayden if they must but not our team. This punishment is extreme for this infraction. For everyone who thinks this is an NCAA rule, it's not. NCAA does allow athletes to make money teaching in their sport.
    We stand by Grant and Hayden and we will fight this ruling as far as we can. THANK YOU to all of you that have supported us and have been tirelessly defending the boys and believe they did nothing wrong. Feel free to share our story and if you have any questions feel free to ask. - Robert & Cheryl Jackman
