In my opinion (going off of this alignment and not next season's) 6A: The Butch 5A: The Reservation (PNG) 4A: Silsbee (and that Brookshire Brothers fried chicken in the press box) -Huffman Hargrave's is really nice as well 3A: Hardin (never covered a game there, but I went out there for a story and it's nice)

He tweeted about 45 minutes ago that he picked up his 2nd offer from Texas State

Cal is not a mid-tier offer. But anyways, congrats to Lil C on his 1st Power 5 offer!

Patrick Reed went D1 from Silsbee in 2014. Calvin already has 8 offers, colleges know what his talent is by now. I don't know why he chose to transfer but going to Silsbee will not hurt his recruiting at all.

It was an honor to cover two MCMs, though I wish I could have seen one at the Reservation. I normally would get to a stadium around two hours before kickoff, but for MCM you gotta get there 2.5-3 hours before because of hectic parking, especially in Nederland. Plenty of tailgating, plenty of excitement in the air. Oh yeah, the games were good too. Both of the ones I covered went down to the last play of the game. Definitely a great rivalry.

Having been to Central practices on a few occasions, I can say that, at least the times I was there, they work hard. No circus-like atmosphere from what I've seen. Anyways, congrats to those kids on the offers! Coach Foreman does a great job at getting kids to play college football.

Jasper 1, H-J 0

A&M Consol 1, PN-G 0

FINAL: H-J 9, Columbia 2

Last I saw on Twitter, H-J led Columbia 8-2 with about 23 minutes left in the game.

If you're not faulting him for taking something, you are not faulting him for, as the rules are in the NCAA right now, breaking a rule. You have to take your opinion on whether it's right or wrong to pay college players out of this. That has absolutely nothing to do with it. If Tony knowingly took an impermissible benefit, then he broke a rule and will be punished. Whether or not he should be paid is irrelevant to this. There are rules in plenty different parts of life that you and I have to deal with that I'm sure we don't like and would like to change. But you can't break the rule and then pretend like it's okay because it's a bad rule. I'm neutral on kids getting paid, if it happens, cool. If not, okay. But the fact is, right NOW, it's not happening.

It also says top recruits for the area, not for the state or the country. So besides a few names that could be argued, I don't see how the list is very inaccurate. The 30th "best" (however you determine that) recruit in SETX usually won't have the same recruiting notice that the 30th best in D/FW, Houston, etc has. And being a top recruit is based on some skill or talent. Some HS players have done more at this level and may plateau in college, some didnt do as much in HS and are going off of potential, some are a combination. But to say it's not based off of talent or skill at all isn't accurate in my opinion.

Kingwood PArk 3, Lumberton 0 last I saw on Twitter

FINAL: Jasper 9, China Spring 0

The China Spring girls soccer account tweeted 16 mins ago that they're trailing Jasper 4-0

Keynel McZeal seems like he should be on the list.

Whether players should get paid is immaterial I'm sorry to say. The point is, the way the rules are constituted right now, if they do get paid, it's an impermissible benefit and an NCAA violation.

So from what I see you're not allowed to have an opinion on Tony Brown unless A) it's 100% positive or B ) You're paid to report it. I read one of the reports that the suspensions could have to do with impermissible benefits. But regardless of what it is, the whole purpose of a message board is to have opinions on subjects. Not everyone will agree with everyone's opinions on subjects. That's the point. I understand why you're defending Tony but he's done something.

How did I come to that conclusion? Your words. "It's the game of, if you say something about a group that we don't like, you are a racist...and many (apparently even you) fall for it." But hey, if you think the Republicans and the Tea Party just have a "few" racists then that's your thing. Not much I could say that will change that.

One or two remarks? Lol you have a web site link that has evidence right in your face and you're choosing not to click on it. But apparently you think racism is a game. Interesting.

He's picked up 2 more offers, from North Texas and Southern Miss

The PN-G ISD web site has a job posting for two football coaching positions so I guess it is true. Doesn't say for what positions though.

So who out of Navasota and Silsbee do you see them beating out for 2nd, if thats where they finish?

Lumberton girls should be up there IMO
