Sounds like a simple solution to me. Or...simple prevention. Issue every kid in the athletic program a lock and a locker. If they don't put their stuff in their locker...then it's on them if things are stolen. If they don't use the lock to keep their stuff secure...then it's on them if things are stolen. If locks are being cut and lockers being broken into, let the police handle it. Coaches are being paid to play detective. Anyone that puts a video camera in or near a locker room or bathroom is asking to be fired. Maybe arrested. Sorry...but that's the truth.

What happened to just giving kids locks for their lockers?

Football isn't even the first thing that pops into my mind when someone says Silsbee athletics. Isn't their basketball team making state tournament appearances relatively often?

He would go to the league for certain if he were 6'10.

I applaud you. I can only imagine how tough of a job it must be. Which is why I always come to the defense of coaches the way I do. I have a lot of friends and family that were/are in education.

I'm not saying you were knocking anyone. I'm just saying that competition, does in fact, matter...especially in this case. Even if HJ was missing a few players or however many...WOS is not great even with their entire varsity roster. Last year they had a state championship football team and were sub-par (at the very best) in basketball. With the same kids. So no. It's not as impressive as the score may indicate. Even with missing players..a school like HJ, with probably several straight basketball kids, and as much tradition as most schools anywhere...ringing up 100 on a team that isn't very good to begin with and has 90% of their kids missing on top of that...isn't very impressive. Not a knock on anyone. It just is what it is.

No doubt. Unfortunately, there are a lot of smaller schools that fit into this category. Sideline coaches alway know more...just ask them. I really have a hard time justifying why anyone would want to coach for a living. There are very few schools where you would run into issues like this.

I'm not saying it was a bad one to put on the schedule...but after realizing the football team was again involved in a deep run...might not have been necessary. Unless you just want a win on the record...or give a bunch of younger kids a chance to get some court time. I don't know...just me.

I actually went to Lamar's home opener. I have no idea why...Actually, I was going to watch the BH/PNG football game. When I got there I realized Lamar's bball team was playing too, so I decided to watch the first half of the bball game, catch the second half of the football game. When I walked out of the Montagne Center I realized I didn't want to fight traffic or the crowd. Plus I was starving. So I just left. I know...I missed a good ending. Don't remind me. I said all that to say this.. Weisbrod is Lamar's best player. I knew that particular game was going to be a massacre but I was a little worried about his size (in future games). 6'6 is a little small to be playing in the paint as much as he does. But he's a really smart player. I could tell immediately that he was a very skilled player around the rim.

Nope...it does matter who the opponent is. I know they were missing a couple guys too, but WOS was probably missing almost the entire team to football. Not only that...they probably aren't real solid WITH their varsity kids from football. A varsity team ringing up over 100 on basically a JV team is expected. This game shouldn't have been played.

They should save the money and let their school board members take turns being head coach. They could rotate weeks.

So it's barely higher...pretty much the same...for 1st year teachers. Either way. That could potentially be a decent living for an educator. Especially if they have a working spouse that makes decent money. I guess it all depends on location.

Even great coaches need talent. Not saying that Westbrook doesn't have any.. .just...You know what I mean.

Maybe they were talking about new teachers. He was pretty certain about Goose Creek paying more. Like I said...maybe newer educators. I haven't looked it up.

Not even the highest in the area. I'm pretty sure Goose Creek pays more for teachers. That's what I was told anyway.

Summer league games are like swimsuits. They don't show you everything. No practice, no strategy, no rotation, ... don't put a lot of stock in something you see in a summer league game. Things could be quite different by winter.

Westerberg does make more. But he's earned it.

Maybe the person that started this ridiculous thread is fishing for a reason to go after the coaching staff. Seems logical.

I don't have thoughts about the game. They're more about the school itself...so I'll just leave it at that.

Depends on who you ask. I can assure you my thoughts and opinions are very seldom welcomed. I've never believed in sugar coating.

Maybe they didn't get a trophy at the end of the year...and got mad. Nah but seriously...it's not a big deal. I think junior high kids probably play in junior high just to get a feel for it. There are probably large numbers of kids that don't make it through high school. For various reasons.

Well I think th.... never mind. Too early to be making people mad I guess.

Several friends and family members that served in the US military. I am forever grateful. Thank you. To all veterans that have served and those that will serve. Thank you.

The whole region is weak compared to WOS. Even Bellville and Giddings will probably be 3+ score victories. Won't get a true (might lose) challenge until they face the Region 2 winner. Celina/Gilmer probably
