They're playing you with their 3rd string QB Indian fans. What else do you want?

DT doesn't have 4.3 speed or even 4.5 speed for that matter. He has something all colleges want. Great ball skills, great coverage (man and zone), not afraid to hit and is as smart as they come in the secondary. Nick Saban knows a thing or two about dbs. Seeing as 9 have been drafted into the NFL since his tenure at Bama.

More parents will elect to or not to transfer their kids from their zoned school if there are family transportation restraints. Some Central and West Brook attendance zones are in walking distance of Ozen .

I question the relevance of this in the modern game. I mean, sure, it shows respect for the game, the players and fans, but is it really necessary? Majority of the players shake hands like it’s a race; they put their head down and just get it over with. You get the impression that it’s a painful task. Many players don’t even have the decency, or manners, to take a little more time and shake hands with respect while looking the person in the eye. So it's useless.

Why is this done before the game? Before the game you’re enemies, not friends. Before the game you’re concentrating on how to beat the opposing team/player , now you have to shake hands? Am I the only one who see’s this as backwards? Soon we’re going to have players hugging before games and cracking jokes. If I was a coach of a team and I saw one of my players cracking jokes and exchanging hugs with players on the other team before the game, I’d be pissed. But I digress…

Shaking hands is meant for the end of a match; the end of a battle. After both teams have executed their game plan and done all they could to win, then you should walk over to the opponent and show your respect for a hell of a effort. That is when you offer a handshake as a sign of respect.

In the end who cares? That they didnt shake hands enough for the publics liking. And no I’m not ignoring the fact that there was something said by a former board member of BISD where millions of dolllars were stolen and yes you were part of the board so that makes you guilty or does it ,character vs. personality; but that’s a very serious issue and a separate issue. Also for kids on social media if you cannot be responsbile for what you put on there then expect to receive that backlash,bottom line stay in child's place. But back to the topic of what I’m referring to is the handshake before the game. Just drop it entirely and get on with the game. Shake hands at the end of the game like you’re supposed to.

Shaking hands should only be mandatory after games. Not before. Its a game central hasn't won in years and i'm sure it made them feel tough inside. This shouldn't be a deal at all and in no way should they be looked down or frowned upon.

I have no problem with them not shaking hands at a coin flip. Ive been to a hell of alot of rivalry games and seen this same thing happen and it was never blown out of proportion like this. Only reason this is a story is because its BISD.

Being that my son is the only Westbrook player shown with his hand out to shake hands with the Central player's I feel that it is my duty to say something!
 
1. This game has been played for many of years between the two schools and then three I think and it has always been a lot of chatter and intimidation antics before the game.
 
2. Every child is not a thug and every act of defiance is not thuggish! Take Michael Phelps weed problems for example!
 
3. PJ and my son are very good friends and talk all the time and played 7 on 7 several times this summer! Most of these kids have grown up together and have played on the same team at some point in their young lives.
 
4. Look At The End Of The Game And You Will See My Son, PJ, And Another Westbrook Kid Hug And Say Encouraging Words For The Rest Of Their Season!
 
Leave Those Kids Alone Guys!!!

OCC already has a quota back.

Easy to say he's a 5-star??? The last time I checked, there are 5-stars in all classifications. You mentioned that the rankings are not accurate. That's the opinion of all parents and kids who are not ranked. Deionte is 6'2, 180. I promise you he can go to any program in SETX and do what he has done ever since he was a sophomore. Obviously, Nick Saban doesn't care what classification he's in. Say it with me, ROLL TIDE!

Deionte Thompsons instagram account stating DSC is returning to the WOS

Interesting. Nice to see some local schools on that list. Surprised with West Brook and Central. Wos must have just missed the list. I thought they had atleast 4. Kevin Smith 1st round, Earl Thomas 1st round. Also, Chris Cole,I believe, was drafted by the Broncos. Kerry Bennet, Brian and Kendal Cleveland I think played in the pros undrafted. Seems they had 4 though....im overlooking someone...

Colton Weisbrod and Laquarious Paige had fairly decent high school careers being "specialty" athletes at dominant football programs.

Thats the difference between the ones who want it and the ones that want it handed out to them. The ones who want it do what it takes to get there.  And well the other just well you know.
