LOSER : : a person who is incompetent or unable to succeed. So I guess the same kids that go out there and compete athletically and LOSE A GAME. You know the ones, the same ones that were GIVEN the valedictorian and salutatorian titles and all of the other kids that got academic scholarships are LOSERS. Well I guess if winning a football game makes you a bigger winner than going to college. I rather see our kids lose 10 times on a Friday night in the fall x 3 years; and then take those lessons turn it into a college degree and win for the rest of their lives. So let a Friday night win be the greatest moment of your life. I'd rather reminisce about the event, than long for it because it was the greatest win of my life. #Don't be a loser off the field. #Quit hating on kids.

Nobody said anything was given to these kids. Some peoples assumption that the kids didn't work or didn't compete is so far off base its ridiculous. It takes more HEART to go out on the field as David than it does as Goliath. While winning breeds confidence and expectations; being able to go out their take a loss and separate that from who you are breeds character, determination and resilience. Which helps them to understand if they are one of the 899 that didn't get the job they lost that particular competition. THEY ARE NOT LOSERS.

Sabine Pass is a district of transfer students with majority from Port Arthur so the demographics are not the same as other districts. Class sizes and boy/girl ratios vary year to year. Kids come and kids go. If 5 sophomores boy leave they aren't necessarily replaced with 5 sophomores boys.Their athletics struggle 2nd to not having a feeder system or having an idea of who or how many of your players will return. They would like to have a solid football program but can't count on steady numbers. Now if they wanted to have a real program they would actively recruit athletes from Port Arthur like they do their scholars, recent valedictorians: 2016 Columbia University admit, 2018 Bill Gates scholarship winner turned down MIT due to not offering degree plan for career they're aspiring too.

I think they should do like Big Sandy and focus on Basketball and Baseball if you have 8 kids that are decent you can compete, if you have 10 you have a chance to do something.

After I read the season previews and saw the turnout I told my wife they should cancel football. They just don't have the numbers. There aren't enough kids to scrimmage in practice, not enough kids big enough to play on the lines. There's no JV or freshman teams, which makes it dangerous because you have kids going from middle school football to varsity who aren't ready for JV and in some cases aren't ready for freshman football. I hate to see it because you have kids that want to play just not enough of them. I thank God there were no major injuries before they pulled the plug.

Well, if he doesn't that's one thing. On the other hand, if he does then he should be the obvious choice.

This should be a no brainer for BISD the most qualified Coach from a basketball and political stand point has ties to the 2 schools with the richest basketball traditions in the city. The board / advisors / overseers (whatever they are called) need to make this happen and if it doesn't happen it shouldn't be because they didn't try EVERYTHING possible. JMO. #beenthereinPA.

According to the PA News Coach Joubert won: The Don Coleman 3A Outstanding Coach Award

Congratulations Tigers

I'msurprised Carter hadn't folded yet

JMO- In the end Silsbee by 15 maybe 20 Unless Carter coach has a helluva halftime speech.

Silsbee got this

Ya'll have to forgive me, but PA, PA, PA, PA, PA, PAAAAA!!!!!.

PA BASKETBALL IS BACK: Mission Accomplished- On to the next one. Things are back to the way it's supposed to be. PA vs Everybody.

JMO - It makes sense to bring him. He's (family) part of the team. If he's suspended and not kicked off the team. You keep the kid close and you still have a chance to teach / reach him. I guess he messed up in some form or fashion. He's paying the price and learning a lesson. You leave him behind (he could feel thrown away ) you may lose him to outside factors.

Have you ever counted how many times (years) there has been at least one SE Texas team in your 47 trips ?

I wouldn't say there's nothing to talk up, because I can hear it in the kids voices and I see it in their eyes. But like Coach Coleman said: What the kids have done; and are trying to do is not a Memorial expectation its a Port Arthur expectation. When Coleman came back and put Port Arthur instead of Memorial on the front of the new uniforms he laid down the gauntlet. The kids have a new (OLD) point of reference and the desire and pride to play for PA is back.

PA 51-42 End of 3rd

Me too.

Come on Lions

It is a nice article, they are great group of kids. I think Jones really solidified everything. It allows them to always have three solid ball handlers / shooters on the court no matter the rotation AND it gives them someone other than Wesley who can score effortlessly.

I don't think it was a shooting foul. The offensive player catches turns to shot, sees a defender and brings the ball down. It doesn't look like a pump fake. But in the refs defense he was deciding in real time and from a different angle.

Silsbeeby 13 5 to play

I think Scarborough is about to make a fatal mistake by picking up the pace

Play where I put you or sit down. Not complicated.
