That's awesome One Chance.. Who does she play for in Houston?

You will get the local commuter university's (Lamar, McNeese) and LSCPA (if they had VB) types from your local area. If you live in Nac area you might have SFA stop in and watch girls, but here in SETX you aren't going to have the large Div 1 schools just pop in. It is up to the parents of the players to make sure it happens. I wouldn't goes as far as say any large club that plays in large tournaments. You have to be able to play in the prime court locals, with the opportunity to go to Nationals in the summer, because that is where every coach in the Nation will be all at one time. Then email email email the coaches so that they know times and court locations where you will be playing at and your entire team has to be commited to email email email, so that you get as many coaches as possible at that court when your team is playing.

Ozen with the upset in 5

Plus one I stated the same thing at the beginning of this post and got crucified for stating the same thing.
 I never said I condoned the actions of the kids, but until you are placed in the same exact situation as the two boys were placed in (Which we don't know what exactly led to this and probably never will, because there are always two sides of a story and popular opinion automatically takes refs side) you don't know how you would react. You can hope that you would react differently and you can say what you would do in any moment until thrust into that situation you just really and truly don't know.
The heat of the moment could possibly lead to after the game if your frustration levels and adrenaline are through the roof, again you just don't know until in that situation.
I have not seen anywhere in a news article that says this is the first time for this to ever happen. It just got captured on video, same thing as Ray Rice. He would still be playing in the NFL if it wasn't on video, just like all the other idiots (Adrian Peterson) are.
What if it was your child that did this? Would you want the legal system to get involved and lock them up? If you can honestly say you would want the book thrown at them then you have other issues.
Hopefully for these boys they have a strong family support system and it is a life lesson for the both of them. I stated previously that we don't know anything about these boys. They maybe model citizens that have never gotten in any trouble, but I see where people automatically profile them because they are from the West Side of San Antonio, so they must be of low character.

Apparently you've never played football cause the entire time your on the field in that particular event it is heat of the moment. Players get frustrated if they feel as though they're being cheated on every down believe me just come to a game of the team that plays on FM2100, seems as though that target has extended beyond the teams they play, but luckily they're well disciplined and properly coached. Again, not condoning just giving a different perspective since NO one else has!!

Just to play devils advocate and not defending their actions cause like most of you I've seen a lot of football but never this kind of action towards an official. Remember, these are young kids that made a bad decision in the heat of the moment. Not knowing what instigated their actions one can only assume (u know what that means), if they were getting hosed on calls all night and the coaches were feed up with getting as one called it, cheated, then I can see where a young, impressionable mind might take matters into his or their own hands. Right, there is no place for what occurred, but in no way should this be a death sentence to the others. We are a Nation that believes in forgiveness so I say let them do the "time" ( some form of rehabilitation) for the act and move on. IMO it's not assault since it occurred with tensions running high. I'm sure some of you that are crucifying these kids have done way worse just didn't have a camera convenient!

This group was frustratingly composed. Didn't keep up with the unforced errors but would bet they had less than 10 for all 3 games against Silsbee.
 Fundamentally sound with great passing. You will have to play almost flawlessly to best the Rockanoos.
 

Good luck to the Rebs, they have some talented female athletes up there.
 

enjoy it, it goes by fast. 

Daughter just found out she made Varsity at PNG yesterday as a sophomore. Excited and cant wait for it to get started this Saturday.

Yes, and I'm excited.  G'daughter a senior this year.  I love to watch her play.  Lady Rebels should have a pretty good team again.  
Good luck to all, and don't you feel sorry for all those that don't know what they're missing?

The season is upon us. Good Luck to all the girls this season!

I don't follow HS baseball too closely, but dang WOS finishes Third in district and is now playing for the state championship, and also played in the football state championship. That is very impressive, good job stangs! Now go win the ship!

People amaze me all the time, with the "He is just waiting for a better opportunity". Aren't we all? We all have a dream job that we strive to reach one day. To get to that dream job there are many different steps that you have to take to get there. When the opportunity is there for you to land that dream job you try and seize it, which is exactly what Coach Babin has done. If you don't have goals and dreams for yourself that is a "you" problem so don't get butt hurt when somebody else does exactly what you dream of doing one day.

And by the way, anything besides a zero win season is a vast improvement.
I'll give you my observation of Coach Paine, he shows a lot of excitement on the field and the the boys appear to really like him, he appears to be a good family man, BUT it wasn't the offense that struggled last year (for the most part) it was the defense, and I believe (not positive) Coach Paine was the defensive coordinator.

To not go against the rest of the board members maybe? 

Sometimes it just doesn't work. A coach has a philosophy and tries to implement it when he comes in and it just doesn't work. Whether it is the players, community or just the coaching itself.
I just went back and read the article when Haynes was hired, he had only had one losing season in his 21 years as a HC. He had previously went 19-11 in his first go around in Lumberton. He has now been at Lumberton for two seasons and has only won what 4 games? So that tells me something is not working this go around.
As far as not keeping coaches around very long, Alvin Crauder was the previous HC there and was there for what 8 or more years. So it's not like they are firing coaches every two years, just this one.
The school board vote 7-0 not to extend his contract, one of those school board members happens to be the starting QB's dad, so that tells me a lot about what the players and the players parents think about the job he is doing as a Head Coach.
This is High School football too, there is no such thing as rebuilding as everybody says. You can't go and recruit players like they do in college or draft players like the NFL, you have to take the players and athletes you have that are enrolled in that High School and you have to implement a system that best fits what student body you have at the school. As the Athletic Director you also have to get kids tI buy into other sports as well. While the girls program over the last few years has been successful, the boys program has been a disaster all the way around.
One other problem I have observed in Lumberton is that the youth sports has been pretty successful in the area, but when those same kids get to High School they are no longer successful. So parents have really high expectations when little Johnny doesn't lose a game in Peewee football and then that same group gets to middle school and High School and they can't win a game the parents get upset and place the blame on the coaching because that is the only thing that has changed.

Life to me is all about choices!

So we are told not to make hypocritical judgements, but yet most people that I know closely are hypocrites when it comes to religion. I see people in the church that are on their 2nd and 3rd marriages due to their said temptations (adultery). When I was 18 I approached the Catholic Church to marry me and my wife of almost 22 years now and they told me and her no by two different priest both stating that we were too young and not ready to be married. They tried judging us!

What makes it THE TRUTH? Because as a young child your parents and priest told you it was the truth? Because as an adult you decided to read the bible and interpret it how it fit your needs?

Trust me I am not basing my understanding off of a bunch of posters on a message board! That would be what religious people do! They base there understanding off of what different people interpret the bible to say and then convince people in need of something that this is the TRUTH!
Let's go back to the original post question. Does God love homosexuals? Well they haven't all burst into a ball of flames bcause of their supposed sins so I guess they are good!

Everybody wants to answer the question on weather or not a gay was born that way or if it is a learned behavior? Well until you have walked in an individual's shoes and been through what they have been through you can't honestly answer that question. Who really and truly cares if they were born that way or if it was a learned behavior (choice), just now that at this point in their lives they are in love with somebody of the same sex. They are humans and should be treated like a human just like other human would want to be treated.

I think the bible is one of the best books ever written (without ever reading it) because of the amount of interpretations that people have made about it. Most of the things that I hear about the bible tend to sound like tall tales being told around a campfire. I am with Messiah on the fact that if you are going to go the route of the bible then you should not pick and choose the parts that are convenient to fit your life.

Have at it and judge me all you want! I will sit back with my popcorn and enjoy the comments!

Here is a good question, were you born (insert your religion) ? Or were you taught to be (insert you religion)? Or did you choose to be (insert your religion)?

I base it on the numerous amounts of just ridiculous stories that you guys conviently decide to ignore and act like doesn't exist. If that was the case then you can apply that line of thinking to every single religion out there.

ALL or NONE.

Don't base your view of Christianity off of Christians...base it off of Christ.
 
We many times don't represent well...He always does.
