If he leaves, he leaves. But you can’t convince me Maliik isn’t a better option right now.  

At the BC/HJ/OF 3 way scrimmage this morning.  It’s preseason basketball so it’s not polished but the officiating has been about perfect, especially out if the chute.  Looks like a fourth of the chapter is here but these first three guys are all pretty good.

Rest In Peace Coach. I always considered him one of the greatest X's and O's coaches ever

No doubt about it, in my mind anyway.  Probably the greatest motion offense coach of all time.  And one of the best man defensive coaches.  Along with Mike Leach, one of my two favorite coaches of all time at the college level.

Being told that Bullfish might be a better option for pregame meal.

Anyone been to this place?

On a Friday it’s K-Dan’s hands down.  Bullfish is pretty good too.  That might be the better option tonight if it’s not too busy.

If the chicken fried chicken is anything like their sister store in West Orange (Danny's) then you're in for a treat.

Basically the same.

That's what I hear. But will have to go with the chicken fried chicken tonight.

Oh wow.  Didn’t realize it was a Thursday game.  Yeah you would like their Friday set up.  One of the better values around actually, I think for 3 pieces of catfish, 6 shrimp, fries, 2 sides and roll or cornbread is like 12 or 13 bucks.  It’s really good stuff too.

Big game tonight for the 2nd seed. Loser will be 3rd seed

 

What's your predictions?

 

I'll be on the sidelines for this one. Going to try out K-Dan's for my pregame meal. Looking forward to a great meal and game.

Good choice.  That shrimp and fish on Friday is pretty dang good.

Love me some Coach Foster.

As great as a coach he is, he is a much better man.

He loves Big Sandy!

True story

Another one not listed but one of the best coaches in our area is the gentleman up in Big Sandy. Kevin Foster is the most overlooked basketball coach in the area.

1000%.  I will put him up there with anyone.  He can flat out coach.  There’s no one’s teams I enjoy watching more than his.

Big 10 football is just hard to watch

The Ohio St - Penn St game was almost unwatchable.  I won’t be tuning in again until the Big Game. 

I don’t know what analytics say to not kick it to make it a 3 score game late in the 3rd quarter.  Two possessions in a row inside the 10 with zero points can be demoralizing to the defense.  That being said, a win is a win and the loss by our biggest rival is even sweeter.  The trail of tears in Oklahoma tomorrow when they drop below Texas will be delicious. 

I sure wish Sark would realize you can kick chip shot FGs. They add up.

This is the stupidest post I've seen so far..! Both teams were chipping at each other all night. You just trying to keep the flame burning..! Teams hate losing to Silsbee and then they get mad and so do their parents. Silsbee had no ideal the kid was hurt. But what was sad is the parents in the stands of BC yelling and cursing at the Silsbee players...Great parenting very classy..!

You can’t make this stuff up 

LCM, Jasper, WOS, now Bridge City.  And one particular school is the constant.  Maybe they need a little less “smoke” there.

There is simply no way their school infrastructure was ready for this kind of growth. And not just in the last 2 years.

This school was a middle of the road 4A school just 10 years ago.

Impossible even if they knew it was coming.

I know you're probably very smart, because your comments sound very smart, but perhaps the growth in Lumberton is channeling through younger families who have younger children who have not made it to the high school level yet. Because (and I'm sure you know this too) the snapshot numbers are only for high school kids enrolled in the district, not K-8 grades or kids enrolled in private schools. I really shouldn't have brought this up, because, being as smart as you are, you probably already considered this possibility.

There are also not an insignificant amount of Lumberton kids in private schools as well. Not sure how many but I know 2 or 3 families and I don’t know a ton of Lumberton people in general.  I do agree that the growth is probably delayed because the families who move there with young children will let them go to LISD.  The ones who moved when their kids were teenagers weren’t going to make them lose their Beaumont private school classmates.  Next cycle should be interesting.

I am a big Jared fan, but if someone were to say McDermott is the #1 guy in region III I would not argue too much.

Always tough to compare a 2 to a 4 but I would agree its fairly close, especially for HS players.  I tend to prefer to put my stock in the guy who starts with the ball in his hands at all levels.  And while Chris will end up being a high major kid, he won't have as wide a choice as Jared had.  Does that mean much come playoff time when they are playing for championships?  Not really.  I expect Silsbee's road will include BTW along the way again, and hopefully this time with a better result.  Still going to be interesting to see what the roster will look like.

In 22-3A, I tend to agree with your top 3 (and maybe 4).  But why is Buna so low?  Do they really not have much this year?

He is probably referring to Kountze and I imagine it’s based off what they have returning plus the showing they had at the TABC event this summer. 

I assumed it was Crockett because he was talking about how wild it is that they are ranked. I was actually impressed with where they ranked Kountze because it showed they actually did some homework past last season’s results.  They should be highest ranked team in district and maybe only the ones with EC.

In 4A they got Stafford and Randall ahead of BT Washington?  Interesting.

That is strange.  Did McDermott transfer?  He’s easily the second best player in the region behind Jared and honestly BTW will be better on some nights than last year with addition by subtraction (I.e., those nights when Lewis couldn’t hit the broad side of the barn - he was going to put up his 20 shots whether he was on or not).

I would agree with you, but curious as to how then they ranked a team that missed the playoffs last year over a district winner and a bunch of other teams that made deep runs into the playoffs. 

Oh wow.  Yeah that’s pretty bad. 

1 hour ago, PrairieMan said:

Crockett #25??? I don't think Crockett finishes in top 3 in District this year. Losing #2 will be a huge loss for them. 

These things have always been based more on the previous season than the upcoming one for some reason.  I would give the coaches a hard time but the college coaches are just as bad or worse.

Well that was a perfect TD throw by Ewers.

Really was.  And Brooks is way more talented that I realized.  Happy for him, especially after patiently waiting his turn behind Bijan and Roschon.  Most kids in this day and age would have hit the portal after the first year.

Alabama -8.5 has me a little worried.

It should because that’s probably my favorite play of his and I’m god awful at picking games.  I also really liked his Penn State game.
