I think they went above and beyond for him, selective comprehension and all.  And all that for nothing.  The great folks of the West End.  How they ganged up on me and turned a blind eye now look at this mess.  I just hope the kids can overcome...

Why would they gang up on you? Were you the thief or a relative of the thief?

Are you implying that someone on these teams is going to one day live in a garbage can?  I give up. Who is it?

Ok, I'll admit, when I first saw this, I'm thinking California - unbelievable.  But when I seen Kentucky, I was even more disturbed.  The home state for the Kentucky Derby.  The finest breeders of thoroughbred horses in the world, and a HS there doesn't want to use Stallions as their mascot?  God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.

Obamacare ain't for everybody.  It was to cover the gap between those that have good employee sponsored care and those that don't.  Some of these people are the hard working minimum wage crowd, also students (who now can stay on their parent's plan...I love this), and some that had crappy plans and wanted to shop around (typically contract workers).  Of course when everyone got insurance, the surge of claims didn't tie out with the current level of rates ...rates went up.  Employer sponsored plans run by the private sector is not the answer.  There's too many getting the shaft that get left out in the cold and rely on emergency room care.  I've previously said the biggest issue with getting a public run plan is the huge fear over another entitlement that will of course raise taxes.  We all know the 1%-ers have been hell bent on not paying a nickle more for the greater good of the society...even to fix roads and bridges.  They want to cut from social programs to pay for everything.

This is about ideology and not healthcare.  Conservatives don't want to be responsible for anyone else's problems.  There is real evidence that enabling bad decisions with a federal program makes things worse.  On the flip side, we need ditch diggers, waitresses, and so on.  Not everyone in society will make it to the middle class or above.  Is all about the type of country we want to live in.  We need to find the right mixture of personal accountability and fairness.

What do you consider Middle Class?  I understand it to be a combined family income $35-55k. Is that really that hard to accomplish?  And before you say I wouldn't understand because I come from a privileged upbringing, I have family that live below the poverty line (less than 18k per household).  But they made conscious, life decisions that got them in that situation.

See this is where I am torn.  I have 2 kids that I believe will be very good in the future. 1 will be a sophomore and the other a freshman next year.  I believe no doubt the sophomore could start on anyones Oline next year and be good. But their is this little thing called loyalty that keeps us from moving to one of these other places.  Call me stupid but we want to finish or be aprt of building some thing where they are. Will they make it a little tougher getting to the next level, yea probably but they and we are willing to put in that effort.  Make any sense.

Makes perfect sense. And good for you. We made the same decision for the same reasons.

No I do not pretend to know more than the doctor. I have been privelaged to meet many great pitching coaches and trainers one Mr Brent Strom actually taught my son how to properly throw a curve ball in which he says is what ruins highschool pitchers. Check out Nolan Ryan's thoughts on pitch counts. The great Jim Gillian also discouraged kids from throwing curve balls before they start shaving. You have to keep in mind Dr Andrews is the best in his field doing surgery and writing books.

 

At one time, some experts thought the curveball was the main reason for arm and shoulder injuries.  We also believed at one time that the Earth was flat and that the Sun rotated around us.  If you care about children's health, do yourself a favor and read Andrew's book, Any Given Monday.  Or I can hit the highlights of the last 30-40 years of studies.  Pitch counts are a good start but plenty of athletes can handle greater number of pitches than others.  I don't get freaked out when I see a mature 17-18 year old throw 150 pitches as long as his mechanics are great and he takes care of his arm the 4-5 days following.  I also would like to see that high of pitches be the exception and not the norm.  The 2 things that get most pitchers into elbow and shoulder problems are 1) Not enough rest in between outings based on how much they threw and 2) Not taking a break from throwing for 3-4 months each year to let the body heal.

Experience goes a long ways. These above post do show some people are educated beyond their intelligence. How many kids have you helped to the level above LL. I will bet you were a LL star that threw 100 curveballs a game. Breaking balls get you Tommy john. velocity gets you a scholarship.

 

Please tell me you are pulling my leg.  You can't be serious.  Have you even heard of the world-renown Dr that I mentioned?  The best athletes in the world trust him with their bodies and their careers.  Surely, you don't think that you know more than Dr. Andrews and 1000s of other Drs and researchers? Next you are going to tell me that smoking does not contribute to lung cancer.  Come on man!

78 stang, what do you think is the problem with this thread?  Many of the kids being discussed in the 2018 class already have multiple power 5 offers. I don't understand your gripe.

The whole thing needs to be tweaked. The only restrictions should be on breaking balls most are not taught how to properly throw a curve or slider, this is where the arm problems start. Should be unlimited on fast balls and change ups and 45 breaking balls a week. Kids will last longer. imo

Could be the most uneducated post I've ever seen.  Ignorance of medical evidence is one reason why these rules will now be enforced. Read up on Dr James Andrews and his research over the last few decades.

Winning by 15 and holding the opposition to 34 points is close?

Would the differential and points scored be the same if PNG played Ozen, Central, Nederland or Memorial?

Yes I do believe they are great pitchers but the main topic was class of 2018 and those two are class of 2017 

Are you suggesting that enough emphasis is not placed on the fine are of Reading in the 337 area code?  lol

Was Kelly missing some players because of the Christmas break?  Game was surprisingly close.

Chick Fil A should have to open a location in Lumberton because it is NOT FAIR to make us drive to Beaumont to get a chicken biscuit.  Is that going to happen? NO!  Is UIL going to rotate locations? NO! It's not fair but guess what else isn't fair.  LIFE!

By secret donations from Sour Lake........

No need for them to be secret. UIL openly solicits donations and sponsorships, much like any other business. The UIL is not funded by our tax dollars or through government handouts. They are not required or even obligated to rotate locations.  They go where the money is. And there is nothing wrong with that because of all the great things that the UIL does for students, teachers, sports, academics, etc throughout this great state.  UIL is not perfect but they do a pretty good job. If you want to learn how they are funded and understand why AT&T makes the most business sense, here ya go:

I've never been the one to hold my tongue for anybody. Do i care for this list? No. Really doesn't mean anything honestly but if you want some one to speak their mind then I will be happy to. Remove Mczeal and add Kj Miller , remove Noah Lewis and add Jarron Morris. Once again, that's MY opinion. 

I can respect that and would have no problem with those substitutions. 

How is the UIL funded? Are they funded by State and Federal dollars like public schools?

Just curious as to what point Coach T WOULD be voted as Coach of the Year by the Beaumont group?  It certainly hasn't been in the last 3 years at ALL.  It probably matters to others more than it does to him but it has nothing to do with being "spoiled".  It has to do with the principle of the thing and makes it seem like Beaumont is a wee bit jealous of the success of WOS.  WOS scores over 800 points on offense in a season and has NO ONE on the offensive side recognized.  Spoiled?  I don't think so.  

If you are going to say player a and player b from wos should be on the offensive team, then step on up and say who should be taken off. If JD should have made it, then do you think RJ should be removed?  If you got something to say, then by God, come on out and say it.
