    Hate this situation occurred in yalls district, but really hate that it’s taking away from what I thought was a fantastic series between two pretty good teams. The kids on both teams here played well and with a lot of sportsmanship. Game 3 took 10 innings with both teams making some stellar defensive plays to keep their teams alive. 
    I’m Liberty all the way but would have thought just as highly for LCM had they Won. They seem to have good kids and hosted us well.

    My comment was about you getting bent out of shape for someone calling you out for incorrectly posting in a thread. Has nothing to do with your son. You want to make it out to be "The Millers against the World". Geesh
    I didn't know I was required to hit the like button. It's something I never really got into doing.
    Be proud. You should be. I have no problem with you posting that thread congratulating KJ. I just think you shouldn't get your feathers ruffled if someone questions why you were posting about KJ in a 2018 prospect thread.
    Now, back to the topic of the thread. 2018 top area players

    Wouldn't count that out just yet.  Madisonville moved the ball pretty well with a relatively very young team.  They only had like 4 seniors and maybe 5 or 6 juniors that played.  A lot of young players that played well.  Pretty dynamic offense that actually gave liberty fits to cover.
    Liberty made some impressive goal line stands sure enough, but Madisonville (IMO) played pretty good with a lot of youngsters.  I think they will be a team to be reckoned with the next couple of years. They also showed a lot of sportsmanship and played with class imo, good luck to em in the future.

    bleacher_bum reacted to Pepper Brooks in Football parent   
    Although my son and his team were knocked out of the playoff picture last Friday night, I suddenly realized this week will be his last HS practices and game.
    We are very lucky that he will get to go on to pursue his education and play at the next level, but as he told me "Dad it just isn't the same as my HS team"
    Got me thinking so I found this while surfing the web.
     
    Dear FOOTBALL PARENT, 
    You dreaded this year’s arrival, but it has come just the same. A year full of promise, but so many “last times.” Over the years you have helped with countless team meals, washed mounds of sweaty uniforms, chauffeured to more early morning practices then you care to remember. You have been top-of-the-world elated when your son has had a good night and endured his deathlike silences when he hasn’t. It is amazing how the family mood bobs with the rhythm of each game. You have laughed, cried, screamed, sulked, pouted, sweat, pulled your hair, bit your nails, bit your tongue, paced, worried, shoved, frowned, and smiled all very gracefully and within a two hour span. 
    Such is the life of a football parent. 
    You may not be in on the big play, but you feel the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat right along with your son. You keep your composure when some fan behind you wants your son’s head while the opponent on the field is mashing it into the grass. “Get off him, that's my baby” you’d like to shout! You breath football at this time of year, especially this time of year when your heart whispers “just a little longer” as the season slides by. You plead and bargain, knowing full well that some other parent on the opponent's team is making their own deal with the Almighty, but you do it anyway, because you no more want it to end than your son does. You do not want to see the desperation in his eyes and the pain on his face as he struggles to put away his childhood dreams. You are helpless in the stands, with no way to make it better. 
    Is it worth it? 
    YOU BET IT IS! 
    Every lost game sock, busy Friday night. Every recovering Saturday, every aspirin, every ruined hair do, hot bath, goose bumps, and every obnoxious fan and sports writer you’ve had to tolerate is worth it. The fun isn’t measured by how many times your son gets into the newspaper, the game, or what he does when he gets there. The fun - what makes those trips to the ER for the pigskin stitches all worthwhile, is watching a game, what a sport experience can do to convert your little boy into a young man. Watching him tackle the world and you have a front row seat. 
    You still see that rambunctious 5 yr old playing football in the yard. You bite your lip and hold back the tears because though you are fiercely proud of the young man he has become, you miss the boy. In fact you mourn for all the little boys. You have watched them grow up together, plot and scheme together, win and lose together. They have raided your kitchen, camped out in your basement, stole your heart. They are blessed with something they will never have again. They know it and you know it. So you pray that wonder will last another game, and then another, because as long as it does, you hang on to a piece of your boy for a bit longer. Watching him walk off that field one last time will be no less painful then giving birth to him all those years ago. 
    We will miss this group of young men. 
    We will miss watching them run on to the field like soldiers going to battle, the hi-fives after a great play, the chest slams after a great tackle, the celebrations over a big win and the sober faces after a disappointing loss. We will miss watching the boys we love, play the game they love.....Football.

    It's hard to compare Beaumont with San Antonio. UTSA is in a major city with no pro team and has over 30,000 students. Hiring Larry Coker didn't hurt either. UTSA will be a good mid major that big schools won't want to play as long as Coker is there.

    I agree that an umpire should make the call in one form or another. I always do. We do our best to train new officials. I can not answer for the actions of others.
