How is Newton still in the top 5
Common sense would tell you that they lost to a team in a higher classification, that is also ranked in the top 10.

EC by 14

You think EC will make easy work of H-F in the Rice Bowl this week? Nah. H-F is younger but they can match EC speed. I do not see them sailing through this one.
H-F is a good football team, but they most certainly cannot match EC's speed.

No doubt. I just know as a kid that played HS and college football, and coached at levels from pee wee to college as a GA, that even the toughest SOB can make a group of kids go to war for him if he does it right. Maybe he doesn’t possess that skill.
There's definitely some sort of disconnect with the football kids for some reason. Baseball doesn't have a problem playing for him though. That's where it confuses me. I know football and baseball are two vastly different sports, but motivation and getting kids to play for you isn't any different between the two. (At least IMO)

Or...it could be that he hasn’t done a very good job. It’s oft times good to look at both sides. A good coach can have high expectations AND make the kids and parents like it. Maybe he’s just not good at that.
That's certainly a possibility. However, the majority of complaints I've heard about Jones are:
1. He expects too much.
2. He's too hard on the kids.
Also, Kirbyville hasn't had much talent in the last few years. That's certainly part of it.

I've seen some comments on here saying Jones "bit off too much", and "I haven't heard anything good." If "biting off too much" means holding young men accountable, and EXPECTING them to work hard everyday is "biting off too much" then so be it. If "not hearing anything good" means little Johnny's parents are pissed off because Coach Jones is mean and requires too much of little Johnny then so be it. It's a shame people act this way when someone in charge expects something of them or their children.

From the article...
“I mean if we were to lock down really hard, I know I hate to even suggest it,” said Kashkari. “People will be frustrated by it, but if we were to lock down hard for a month or six weeks, we could get the case count down so that our testing and our contact tracing was actually enough to control it the way that it's happening in the Northeast right now.”
Kashkari continues, “If we don't do that and we just have this raging virus spreading throughout the country with flare-ups and local lockdowns for the next year or two, which is entirely possible, we're going to see many, many more business bankruptcies, small businesses, big businesses, and that's going to take a lot of time to recover from to rebuild those businesses and then to bring workers back in and re-engage them in the workforce. That's going to be a much slower recovery for all of us.”
The Northeast has had the worst results with the virus by a landslide. That's not really debatable. This Kashkari guy has a ridiculous take IMO.

But the federal reserve said another 6 week shutdown mabe needed to help the economy for some reason.
I haven't heard that, but for the life of me cannot understand why that would help the economy.

Elementary school school shutdown for two weeks after 2nd grader test positive for covid on the first day of school in GEORGIA. Stopping and starting is not helping Ethier. When will enough be enough that my only question now.
While I can somewhat understand your frustration, this country needs to go on with life! Everything cannot be stopped or shut down due to fear, the consequences of doing that for the short time it was done are already devastating. Businesses are closing and many good people have lost their jobs, with no other jobs to be found. Where does it end? What will people have to go back to if the country is shut down again as you suggest it should be? The fact is, that in the long run, more lives will be negatively effected and lost due to the consequences of the shut down (or an additional one) that have been effected by the virus itself. At some point a line has to be drawn.

To be truthful, one is in accordance with executive order GA-29 while not wearing a mask if you are able to maintain a 6 foot distance from others. Taking off the mask should not be an issue while sitting in the stands at 50% capacity.

These games were cancelled because of financial reason. The company putting on the game could not financially take the chance that there would not be attendance or sponsorship for the games, or that they might be cancelled at the last minute after numerous man hours and financial commitments had been made.
Sure. Financial reasons from the effects of COVID-19. Otherwise, this game would've 100% been played.

This is a sports sociology topic. Yes, it is. Thus, it is political. Like it or not, when the leading sports sociology text in America promotes Marxism on its 3rd page, all sport topics can turn political. Shut up and go elsewhere is a wonderful tool of the left. That is exactly what is being done here in asking(or telling) me or others to take it to the political forum.
If politics and sports don't intersect now, someone please tell ESPN.
Well said!

Maybe some folks need to get off their political highhorse and talk sports in a sports forum and speak that political bs off the site period. Site name is SETXsports right?
With all due respect, the game was cancelled due to COVID-19. The discussion was about that reasoning, and why one may think it is/isn't a good reason to cancel the game.

LT Falcon, I know you liked this chart, but it shows there have been zero covid deaths among Texans aged 5-24. There were more deaths due to pneumonia.

I dont get butt hurt over ignorance honestly. Maybe visit some of these people fighting for their lives in hospitals or better yet some of the families that have lost loved ones. I get the whole .003% is a low number UNTIL it hits a close one! Fake news below???????
No one is saying its fake news. However, I am saying .003% is not enough to stop the world over. There are a lot of things that kill at a higher rate than Covid. Are we going to stop driving cars? Don't you think it's weird NO ONE caught the flu this year, or at least you didn't hear anything about it? We should all be asking questions. Those who do not are the "ignorant" ones.

Texas Cases
87k confirmed cases
2000 deaths
ignorant response!
87k cases out of a 29,000,000 population. That's .003%. Maybe his response isn't so ignorant? Numbers and facts matter. Sorry if that hurts your feelings.

You’re a silly boy... Let’s just shut everything down forever, right? My son started summer workouts yesterday morning. He’s one of the most important things in my life, and I would give my life to save his. No hesitation. You need to worry about your family and your kids and leave the parenting of my kids to me. Get your head out of the sand (and your butt) and learn the facts. Young healthy teen athletes have almost no chance of serious health issues or death from the China virus. Go spout your crap somewhere else. And leave my child out of your fear driven comments.
Perfectly said. Thank you!

I haven't watched enough HS football to say where he should rank on this list, but I had the "pleasure" of attempting to block him in a scrimmage his senior / my junior year. He was a grown ass man and it was not a pleasant experience....lol
He's right up there with a lot of these guys. Some on here will discount him because he played at Lumberton. He was a man amongst boys. He was also a Willie Ray Smith Award winner I believe.

T.J. Light - DT Lumberton
I think he played in the early 90's. 92-95 range.

Steven Jacksons Lincoln Team and the 31 and 0 Tigers
The 31-0 tigers lost in the 1st round of the playoffs if my memory serves me correct. Quite a few great Tigers teams can be on the list, but I wouldn’t put that one on there.

DCTF Week 4 State Rankings

Irrelevant. If they lost to an unranked, average 4A D2 school, I could understand your "confusion." Your opponent matters.
