Unrelated, but Navasota just conceded a questionable penalty with 2 min left in their second OT vs San Elizario.  Lost 1-0. Felt like poetic justice after they only advanced because of a blatant dive drawing a penalty in the final minute against lumberton boys. 

Great season for the raiders.  Celina just that much better, not unlike how lumberton is against all of their region.

Png athletes are average and coaching carries them. Joseph would win anywhere he goes but png wouldn't win with just any coach

PNG athletes (at this time) are still better, and more importantly, bigger, than what Nederland has.  Joseph made a difference there, but he came into a loaded program as well that pretty much everyone expected to show a lot of improvement.  He would not go to Nederland and turn them into state contenders in a year or two like he was able to do at PNG, although they would without a doubt improve.

So many games in playoffs decided by questionable PK’s this year. Lumberton boys the latest victim. IMO a pk should not be awarded unless there is a clear flagrant attempt by the defender to play through the body or an apparent handball that is outside of the body and blocks a shot on goal. These outcomes have been decided by the referees giving away cheap goals

The lumberton play was the Navasota player trying a little back heel or something and the lumberton defender poking the ball away.  The Navasota player then fell down like his legs had been swept out from under him, even though there was zero contact.  The ref was literally right there.  I sure hope he went back and watched the play so he can feel bad about his call.  

Just went back and watched the Lumberton game, and they got absolutely screwed.  Less than a minute and a half left, BLATANT dive inside the box with zero contact, and the ref is 6 ft away and he gives a penalty.  Should’ve been a card for simulation.  Navasota tied it on the PK and won the shootout later 

Rangers beat Houston again as the nightmare start for the stros continues.  I’m not mad.

Bradford pitched a gem last night in the 10-2 win over houston. 
7.2 innings, 2 hits, 1 run, 4 K’s, 0 walks 

 

I didn’t trust him coming in, but he’s been dang solid through two starts.  

Navasota wins the shootout, and advances to state.  Great season for the raiders! 

GCM wins 2-1 in OT. 
 

lumberton going to a shootout 

Lumberton tied at 1-1 with Navasota in OT as well 

I consider Goose Creek Memorial local as well since they’re in Nederland/PNGs district.  My good friend coaches them.  They just scored in the last 5 minutes to send their game to OT against Magnolia West.

Such as the "manufactured" issue of trans men dominating women's sports, the right just won't shut up about anything, will they?

You're failing to see where the real problems stem from.

There are multiple “real” problems.  The one currently being discussed is right wing “news sources”, as well as legitimate politicians, regurgitating patently false information which whips the masses up into a frenzy.  That’s a really big problem, and one that republicans should be striving to clean up, but are instead perpetuating.  The attitude I often see, and which based on this post you seem to hold as well, is “it doesn’t matter if it’s fake, because whatever they do is way worse”

Not everyone on the right is outraged about this, don't make it more than it is.

 

ironic choice of words there, but I get what you’re saying.  But if it’s not one manufactured issue it’s another for many on the right.

More "misleading" news.

Starting to feel like the "right" has become the "left" in this department.

smh

it's crazy, considering the whole "fake news" craze, and all of the "low information voter" insults that have been thrown out over the last 6 or so years.  Because so much of what gets the right outraged is either misleadingly presented or completely false these days.  Don't get me wrong, there's plenty to be upset about, but it's tough when half of what you read is patently false in some way.

Did you need the video? I can send it to you.  Kountze did something on a baseball field that I have never seen before in over 35 years.  And then they tried to cry to the UIL about it.  What a dirty program under dirty leadership.

so what precipitated this?  Not saying this is okay, but I also assume that it wasn't just some random act of violence on the baserunner for the heck of it, either.  what's the backstory

He has 6 kids.  4 girls and two boys.  Regardless of what the "highsky" Hardin assistant coach says, he didn't "move to BH" for his oldest daughter.  There were several reasons, but this wasn't one of them.

I find it hard to believe that if there were several reasons, taking his talented athlete daughter to a better school and the extra visibility that comes with it played ZERO part in his decision as you suggest.

Josh Jung was hit by a pitch last night and fractured his wrist. Probably going to be the middle of May before he comes back.

gotta feel for him.  He'd been our best or second best hitter to start the season.  pretty insane how stacked our lineup is even with him and Lowe out.  

LeClerc already proving himself to be a liability and the rangers are being punished for not going out and getting a real closer.  That said, I’ll take winning the opening season of the year every year!  

I’m not religious, but I have no issue with people who are.  This is an attack on Christianity.  Although I think we are overlooking the very real possibility that Biden just forgot today is Easter.
