C’mon man.  Let me troll EC fans in peace…

I didn't early vote because I haven't studied all of the candidates for ALL seats well enough to make an informed decision. It's hard to cut through all the BS to make an informed decision.

I told someone today if IP had known how much $ was going to be spent on mailers in this election, they could have kept the mill open another year at least.  The money spent on that race is going to end up being staggering. 

C’mon man.  Let me troll EC fans in peace…

You know my petty behind will go find an old thread. 

I will vote for Covey but I really don’t think that Phelan, as an incumbent and with name recognition, is in any trouble.
I would venture that in a normal year an incumbent being challenged in a primary would win by about 85%-15%. With this race and Phelan getting so much attention and much of it negative, it might go to Phelan 60/40 or maybe a little less than 40 for Covey.
I would love to be wrong but…..

Because Phelan is doing most of the mud slinging that tells me he is trying to get out in front of somethings of his own. Trying to throw shade from the shade, so to speak.
Covey seems like the right choice.

Still bitter. Bless your heart.

Absolutely. One of the best staffs in the area. I would guess both assistants will be head coaches in the next few years. 

Thanks for the info!  I know they have some really good kids coming up too.  And to be honest, in terms of skill and upside, after Scales, the Thomas kid appeared to me to have the highest ceiling.  He looks like he could be a really good one over the next couple of years.  Did a lot of things pretty well, especially for a sophomore.  But they are definitely losing some key pieces.  Forgot about Rawls.  Wrinkle got most of the praise out of that group (and he definitely deserved it - he played really hard and was super gritty), but all 4 of those guys were indispensable in that run.  Hopefully the young guys coming up will fill in those gaps.  But as we discussed when he was hired, love that we have Whitmire and his staff developing those kids.  

Yes, those 3 starters as well as 3 guys (only Rawls got regular minutes) from the bench. So only 4 out of the 10 players that were on the varsity roster through the district schedule will be returning. Scales, Thomas, and Manning that were Sophomores and Rogers that was the only Junior.

You are correct

You see this @Mr. Buddy Garrity?

At least one huh?  Dorsey and maybe one more?  The two athletic wings I really like (Jones and Sherwood) are both juniors though. 

Agreed.  The biggest reason that rubber match with Kountze was so important. 

They are a “blue blood” of Texas HS basketball. Rarefied air to be sure. 

Winning third round playoff games by 20+ and still complaining.  Boo hoo 😉

Except tonight vs Palmer… they lost by 3

Yes, will be much deeper next year, but Wrinkle will be a huge loss

Agreed.  Marshall was lucky to escape that nail-biter.  

3 maybe?  Smith, Wrinkle and Rucker?

Hitchcock brings most of their skill guys back I know… Bellville will have some losses… but will still be good enough to be region favorites IMO

Crazy combination of talent for a 3A that’s for sure… Bellville is playing them in football next year and I can’t wait to check them out

Agree with all of this. Never would have thought I’d see OF at this level of play consistently. Future is extremely bright for them. 
 
congrats to Hitchcock. Extremely well coached to go along with the talent.
