i don't know if i'd trust coaches to be fair... say bad officiating helps the home team, and then you get a good review from the home team's coach, and a bad review from the visiting coach. you're also going to get coaches who take out their anger over one or two bad calls by giving a bad review for the whole game. instead, maybe there should be an official in the stands every district game to keep tabs... i know this would be very expensive, but fairness in HS sporting events is worth the price.

i'm not too much of a rocket fan, but i hate the spurs, so GREAT JOB ROCKETS! as far as i'm concerned, they can move the spurs to canada or overseas or something.

You guys are making some good points... i definitely agree that if the cards start winning more games, they'll get more fans. i also agree that they need more kids going crazy in the stands, as this will boost team morale and help the cards get the wins they need. since the basketball team hasn't been all that great for several years, lamar needs to give fans some reasons to come back, and for this to happen, they have to start winning games. push a little more money through the program, pick up better recruits, and win. that's about the only way it's going to happen. i would say that the university could spend some extra money on promotionals and entertainment at the game to get fans in, but i personally would prefer them to feed that money into the program. this year held a lot of promise, but it started out badly. maybe now that LU is starting to pull it together the fans will start trickling back in. a conference championship would go a long way towards boosting attendance (and i asked for a trip to the big dance for lamar when i sat on santa's lap at the mall).

i believe the one before was funnier, though. i think it was called roger clemens 2056. does anyone remember that one?

Vidor 66 Dayton 52

HJ 79 WOS 53

yup... but baylor's looking like they're going to be able to beat most of the middle of the pack in the big 12, and surely the bottom feeders. that ought to get them another 6-7 wins pretty easily if they keep it up...

i sure hope you're right! ;D

way to go cards!

i'm glad to see them doing well... if they keep this up it's going to be hard to keep them out of the big dance.

Ahahahahahahahaha

i was more upset about the blatant blown call that gave UNC the ball back with a chance to win... it should've been maryland's ball with 10 seconds left anyway.

what was the score on this one?

lumberton 2 PNG 1

they're gonna get beat up pretty bad. it's tough for schools with no quality youth soccer leagues close to home. Hopefully for them (and HJ) there will be a 3A playoff system soon. They'll be a little more competitive against smaller schools. It's tough when you get thrown into a district with 4 or 5 solid 4a schools.

I'm a longhorn through and through, but over the past couple of seasons i've started following aggie basketball. i'd been really impressed with them all year, but they've looked awful their last two games. Tech smoked them, and then K-state pounded them again today. I believe they'll bounce back, but they need to make some changes. What do you think is going on with the aggies, and what changes do you think they need to make?

great win for the brook! keep it up and bring the district championship home to beaumont!

Geez, there's another morrell? ;D

a heartbreaker for vidor, but a good effort...

good job dawgs! and against public schools, too... imagine that

another impressive win for the hawks!

kinda expected OF to win this one, but it's tough to win with players out. good luck to both of these teams the rest of the year.

sweet! my beloved rangers get another slightly below average pitcher! what happened to Kam Lowe? he was finally showing some promise...

why, because our outlook doesn't coincide with yours? there are a bunch of arguments for and against running up the score. i will say, in response to Newcastle, that as a player, it's more beneficial to work on your passing against a bad team than scoring easy one on one breakaways every 5 minutes. Westend is right... your team is going to gain very little by pounding a bad team. Everything comes easy, and the players don't have to work very hard to succeed, so what do they get, finishing practice? If you get your subs in early, they get playing time and experience. Your star doesn't need to score two hat tricks against somebody just because he can. Against easy competition my coach used to pull me out as soon as i got a hat trick, and if i couldn't get one in the first half of a game we were winning 4 or 5 to nil, then i wasn't going to get one. At the time, it used to make me mad, but now i understand where he was coming from. Why break the spirit of a team who loses almost every game anyway? You don't need to win by 12 to show that you're the best team, and you don't need to score 12 to have a successful game. Be respectful of your opponents.

no, that's why i suggest getting your bench into the game before the score is already out of hand... if you know you're going to beat a team badly, don't wait until the score is 8-0 to put your bench in. do it early so that they can score a few without the team being accused of running up the score.
