How many teams are in the district with Jasper?

Great win Central!

Good luck KPark in round 2. You guys have a good team with lots of size and talent.

I think it will be a good game. Haven't seen Lumberton this year, but I know they will be well coached with good shooters. Kingwood Park is well coached and has a tall girl ( Allie Beach #12 ) that can get to the basket. They are a very good defensive team.

 

I don't see anyone on KPark's roster named Allie Beach wearing #12.  Could it be Allie Byrd?

Not everybody was happy with the performance.

Los Osos coach Dave Smith called it "a joke,"  Smith said Chino Hills players fouled on purpose to prevent his team from running out the clock and stopping Ball from scoring more.

"That's wrong," Smith said. "It goes against everything CIF [California Interscholastic Federation] stands for. The Ball boys are very talented and great players, but it's embarrassing to high school athletics. I've been coaching for 35 years, and we've turned high school athletics into individualism.

"It's amazing to watch a kid score that many points. But it's tough to say that's what CIF athletics is about."

Pretty sure no one made a comparison to getting the same coverage as football. The comment is about how little girls sports are covered. 

I'll give you one last example. I believe it is KFDM that has local coaches and some of his/her players come in and do an interview on Sunday nights (I believe it's Sunday). How often have you seen a girls sports coach and athletes brought in? It doesn't bother me, I don't have anyone playing anymore but I do agree with the original post that girls sports aren't covered very well. 

 

I can't answer your question. I don't watch the news. It's too depressing.

JustUS is only speaking the truth. Girl sports don't get covered as much, it's the way it is. How often do you see volleyball scores reported from news stations on Friday nights? Only what is called in. What about Tuesday nights? Very few are covered in person, most scores are called in. I always see a lot more baseball highlights/interviews than softball. Never see much of anything on cross country or track. Not complaining, just the truth. There are teams that win district year after year in volleyball, cross country, soccer, tennis, golf, and track and you never hear much about it, if any. The truth is, more has been covered on the news and this website about the fight between LCM and Silsbee basketball than all the sports I previously mentioned. If you took volleyball out of the mix, that fight has had more coverage than all the other sports combined.

It's not a push on our local media. It's media everywhere. You don't see many women sports covered on ESPN and you never hear about some sports unless it's the Olympics.

Ashly, if it wasn't for you interest in PNG girls soccer, how many scores would we have from their tournament year after year?

With that said, Congratulations to the Lady Panthers. Is that 10 in a row or just 10 in their history? I've only lived here for about 15 years, but didn't Ozen open around 2000?

In the local media's defense, look at the total number of posts on this website for each category mentioned. Maybe the media coverage is a reflection of what their viewers demand. If I move up north, does it make any sense for me to complain and make truthful statements about ice hockey getting more coverage than hs football?  

If you don't see a problem with sucker punching an unexpecting, defenseless victim, then you will say the punishment to the Silsbee player is too harsh.  The same people that think this punishment is too harsh usually are not repulsed by head-stomping an unconscious person at the end of a fight.  I love a good fight as much as anyone, believe me.  But what is considered acceptable has changed dramatically, especially with the younger generations.  This punishment seems appropriate to me and I am one who has punched and been punched many times in my life.  If you've known "bad" people, then it is easy to tell that Devon is NOT a bad kid.  I hope he learns from this and does nothing but great things from here on out.  A lot of that will depend on those closest to him right now and in the future.  

Aren't we the same people that started the craze of having 15in speakers in their cars and trucks. Man, y'all ARE getting old!

Dove can't go to Memorial home games Nash.  The band wreaks havoc with his hearing aids...

I may be in the minority here but I like the Memorial band playing in the gym.  But then again, I'm not trying to communicate to players or fellow teammates either.  I may be one of the few opponents who love the Central band during football games also.  It's gets this old man fired up!

What is Ozen's overall record and who did they lose to? I'm a little surprised Ozen hasn't cracked the TABC Top 25. 

I heard #3 for Livingston is a freshman. Impressive shooter!

Especially since for about 99% of kids playing college ball this as far as they will go in football.

Here are some interesting numbers:

I always love seeing those numbers. So many of us thought we were going to the league, especially if we started as freshmen at a FBS school. It just ain't that easy. Lol. Get that degree!

They ever get that band money back in Lumberton? 

Uncle pig not from Lumberton. Apology accepted.

Don't know the score, but Central did win.

That's about all I could find out also.  But I wanted to know the score so I could solidify the conspiracy theory of what happens to teams when they travel to play Livingston in Livingston. 

I'm curious about this score as well.  This game was big in deciding a playoff spot and how teams could be seeded.

Desoto had 28 players sign today.  12 went D1.

 

Wow

 

if the QB stays healthy, he could be a Heisman candidate in a few years.  He is really special!!!

Crosby. 59

Dayton  58

Final Score

Going into the week, Dayton was #13 in the state and had only lost 2 games.  Sounds like people have been sleeping on Crosby.   What do the standings look like in 21-5A?

Are these district records correct?

1)  Ozen  9-0

2)  Lumberton  7-2

2)  Livingston  7-2

4)  Central  5-4

5)  PA Memorial  4-5

Who won this game?

Are these correct for the top 5 district records?   Could be a tight finish. 

1)  Ozen  8-0

2)  Lumberton  6-2

3)  Livingston  5-3

4)  Central  5-3

5)  PA Memorial  4-4

Doesn't seem right to me.  I know it's all in the same district but:  the guy that wins at a 6a level gets paid the same as someone that coaches a mediocre 5a team, and someone else that coaches a bad 5a team with 4a enrollment.  I would think the pay would be by experience, record and classification level.  Kids have to earn their position and playing time.  Make the coaches earn their pay.  

 

I agree 100%.  And if I didn't know any better, I'd say you are probably a Republican

Central beat us like we stole something. Don't know the score but it was about 20pts. The game was never in question. Congrats to Central on an impressive win. We got beat in every statistical category in the book.
