From my vantage point (press table, mid court, on the floor):
Huntington made a free throw to put themselves up 48-46 with 10 seconds left. EC inbounded and raced up the floor and tried to penetrate to draw a foul. Ball was knocked out of bounds off of Huntington but the clock hit zero when ball went out of bounds. Several folks thought the game was over (particularly Huntington folks). Officials came together and decided that there was .5 seconds left on clock. During that discussion lot's of tempers were flaring from all sides. Once it was determined that time was still left and EC would inbounds under their own basket, Huntington coach was on the court trying to instruct his team to defend the inbounds play. While doing this he a little far out on the floor and an official was encouraging him to get back on the sideline. Words were then fired back and forth from the head coach to an assistant for EC. It got really heated and the Huntington coach lost his cool and received a technical foul. That sent an EC player to the line and he made both free throws to tie the game at 48.
This didn't sit well with the Huntington coach, team and it's fans. Things really started getting out of hand and some fans were escorted out. Things got very chaotic and with the officials and school admins trying to get some order. Before play would resume, a player for Huntington basically lost it and he received a technical foul which sent EC back to the line to shoot two more free throws. Player made both. By this time things were just about out of control. Huntington players were very distraught. Head coach walked off the floor. EC inbounded with no defense by Huntington. Game ended. EC won 50-48.
It was a terrible way for this game to end. Huntington did not deserve to lose this way and I know EC wasn't too thrilled about winning in this manner. Just a complete shame that such a good game ended this way.
Needless to say that Huntington will not be returning tomorrow for Gold 3rd place game vs. Vidor.
I really hate it ended this way.
Pretty wild. Still, sounds like some self-inflicted wounds when they had the game wrapped up

Their star player is injured. Got hurt last week. Could possibly be out for the season.
Was afraid it might be something like that. Was hoping he was just on vacation or something

What’s up with Brookland? I get that they’re playing some higher classification schools, but had some results I wouldn’t have expected this tourney.

No, undocumented immigrants (often called "illegals") are not eligible for federal SNAP (food stamp) benefits; federal law prohibits them from receiving these benefits, though their U.S. citizen children may qualify for assistance within mixed-status households, and recent legislation (
) further restricted immigrants' access too. SNAP eligibility focuses on U.S. citizens, nationals, and qualified legal permanent residents, with strict rules and waiting periods for many non-citizens, while state-funded programs or other benefits (like emergency Medicaid for health) might cover some ineligible groups.Therein lies the issue. If two illegal immigrants have a houseful of kids while living here, then their household can still have several dependents receiving government assistance. The left also uses those children as an excuse not to follow the law and deport their parents. It’s about the best argument there is against birthright citizenship.

Thanks for proving my point, she could be right.
Look at the information being posted and critique that before simply dismissing the source.
I’m not sure why this is so hard.
If you can’t verify if it’s accurate, and it’s coming from a random influencer, how can you even begin to critique it. We know she didn’t do a study and come up with the numbers herself. So where did she get them?

Well if you don’t know then I don’t know if it’s a good idea to be chastising people on here that post off twitter. I never heard of her before but the very little research I’ve done it looks like she’s pretty accurate in some things she’s posted.
Well, if through limited research Porter has determined that she’s pretty accurate sometimes, that oughta be good enough for everyone I guess. You’re falling back on the same “it’s up to other people to prove random stuff that’s posted on Twitter wrong” argument again. If her numbers are correct, Reagan should be able to find a real source for them. Or more importantly, why didn’t she post the source herself? Anyway, feel free to get the last word in so we can get back on topic.

Maybe I am missing something but I don’t believe the individual that made this post said this is fact.
I am still waiting for you to give us all the ultimate source to go to in order to get truth and facts. Main stream media has failed, government officials have cooked the books and lied.
I don’t know. It’s hard to trust anything these days. But “some lady on Twitter” doesn’t seem like a good option either.

I am not on a vaccine pulpit. You brought up the legitimacy of Twitter and sources of information to be posted so I brought up your inaccurate posts of the past about Covid. What does be real careful mean? Are you threatening me with something?
You failed to tell us where the one source of all truth comes from. We are waiting. Sounds like you do not like anyone questioning you but you like to question everyone else.
The problem with posting tweets as fact is that literally anyone can post anything. The fact of the matter is, I agree with the sentiment of the original post. But that doesn’t mean it’s a legitimate source of information. And someone asking for an actual source for the numbers and being told “to prove it wrong” isn’t how debating works.

It’s also lazy to not read this thread and know that I didn’t post the numbers and I also didn’t say that the numbers were fact. I said I wouldn’t be surprised if they accurate. Please tell us all where the one source of all truth comes from when it comes to actual real news worthy issues.
And as far as Twitter is concerned I have seen a lot more truth come off Twitter than from our government officials and the mainstream media. A lot times Twitter is 6 months ahead of the mainstream media. 😂
If I am not mistaken I believe you posted a lot of disinformation about COVID numbers and how effective the vaccine was back when we were going through that nonsense. Look what’s come out since then as it pertains to that poison that was pushed upon the American people. So you may want to step down from behind your pulpit.
I wasn’t crediting you with the numbers posted. I was responding to your comment about them. And I’d step down from your vaccine pulpit. That’s way off topic here.

I don’t disagree with you but if the source bothers you then do some research and enlighten us all.
This is an opinion platform. Whatever is posted is a good starting point for an individual to do their own research if they are curious enough to know if it is true. Left or Right everyone should do their own verification.
It’s lazy to just throw out whatever numbers off of Twitter from whatever random user and then say “prove it wrong.” How about proving it right before you post, especially if you’re going to say it’s fact?

Halftime
0-0
What are the odds of two Texas state championship games and a CFP game all being 0-0 at the half over the course of two days?

I am sitting here at ATT Stadium watching the game and I believe Carthage could probably give some of these 5A and 6A teams playing next and tomorrow all they could handle.
They beat Kilgore this year. Would’ve probably beaten Stephenville. You’d have to get up to 5A before you’d find maybe a couple of teams that they wouldn’t be favored to beat. They’d be a top-5 team in either 5A classification with a legitimate chance to make it to state

35-0 Carthage
9:38 3rd
and with that folks I am out. Headed to a poker game in Buna.
What’s the buy-in?

WOS had their chances to keep it interesting. Dropped TD pass and the fake punt pass 6 inches too long

That’s probably ballgame.

Got bailed out a little there, although better execution and he scores easily. Nice stand for the Stangs, there

4 outta 20 people on the Pickens picked Stephenville 🙂 Also 1 person picked Wall over Newton (Sorry Eagle fans just had a hunch)
That one felt good
