I think LCM should shoot the ball as quick as possible. They need to get the Tigers in a fast paced game to have a chance.

Deweyville- 74
Sabine Pass-71

Yes 

Congrats to b.c. basketball & Coach Sterling,good guy who knows the game & coaches it well.  
                                    
 

They aren't playing like they are capable of playing. So from a mental aspect they are all missing.

I've got to say first Congratulations to the Stangs and the Orange community on a job very well done. If WOS had 5A numbers they would be a force  in 5A. But in regards to the talent level @ PAM vs WOS . I'll quote Bum Phillips in talking about  the difference a coach makes." He can take his'n and beat your'n and take your'n and beat his'n."

Friday scores

Amen on that.

Well with 2 projected starters out, 7 new kids on varsity and 3 days of practice for the rest of your starters (football players)  to lose by 5 in a game the starters led by 10 before wholesale substitutions doesn't concern me. They lost to Warren early  last year and still made the second round of the playoffs. They have the top 2 players in district.  4 of their top 7 returning from last year's team, which leaves 3 or 4 spots to be sorted out. They are a work in progress. The fans have to have patience with the process. 
 

Jones is the better of the two, Daniel Sam being the other is the one with the offer.

I haven't seen the other kid yet but Jamyus Jones is the best individual player I've seen in that district and I've seen all of Evadale's.  That being said, Evadale is way deeper than SP and will be the favorite to win the district. 

Didn't the kid make All District as a junior. To me that would indicate he's a player, so love it or hate it that he got a second chance. You can't argue with his ability.

Warren 55;  SP 50.

Some of us seem to think,  you can't be successful in more than one arena of endeavors. Not once did I say Academics was irrelevant. I  hold two degrees, and have kids in college. I understand the importance of an education. 
 I also understand the sense of pride having winning athletic programs bring to kids and schools.  There is STILL a ton of Purple and Gold in PA because of Lincoln High School.

Yes, and a drank(water with lime) somewhere will be nice.  Don't mine chopping it up at all

That doesn't equate to 2000  Memorial grads @ Brown,  Columbia or Princeton either. The point is you do what's best for your's and I'll do what's best for mine. I'm through with this on THIS site, but  we can get together over a brew and talk all things PA: politics, schools  the lack of employment opportunities and sports at some other time in a appropriate setting.  Peace to you Brother.

I have been told by people in the know (admins, teachers, coaches, parents) that many of these transfers are because of the behavioral issues at PAISD. Some just don't feel safe.
Just what I was told.
And before you reply SFA85, the majority of these folks that told me this were of the African-American race.

So if I  moved to another city, I should not do what I enjoy or excel at. That's senseless. A kid should not do what he's capable of because he left PA. Well maybe PAISD should try to figure out and then fix;  whatever caused the parents of a low estimate of approximately 500 students (Combined enrollment of Sabine Pass, Bob Hope and Tekoa) no counting Mid County kids to leave the district.

My thoughts on PA ISD....  
My wife worked out there.  If it's academics that's the problem, then I'm calling BS.  There are smart kids in PA that'll push a child to finish too percent there.  The top rung of students there isn't the problem.  The middle and bottom tier is the problem.  But with that problem comes... Parents that usually don't care.  There are so many programs at Memorial that students can take advantage of.  Parents are told about these programs but most aren't involved or just don't give a damn.  I can tell you this.  Memorial can help their kids more than BISD does.  They don't have many programs to help the struggling students.  Parents won't come out and get involved.  And when those bad report cards come in, that's when the parents want to raise all kind of you know what.  I'm just speaking an a academic standpoint.  Now athletics, Memorial Wil push you so many athletically gifted kids walking around PA.  Sometimes, you're child just don't cut the mustard, compared to the other kids.  At that point, your kid will just need to work harder.  Don't transfer because the competition is too great.  Stay in PA, get your lesson, grind hard in practice and in off-season.  The stigma about PA is just so inaccurate, and even people that were born and raised in PA get the wool pulled over their heads.
I'm a firm believer that kids flourish where they're more comfortable. Comfortable with kids they've grown up with.  Not talking about race, because Memorial is more diverse than you think.  Lot of Asians and Mexicans walk the halls there.  
In conclusion, keep the kids home.  Besides real life issues like changing of jobs, divorces, marriages, ect., there's no real reason to be 'running' from PA ISD.  

If any black kid is able to be manipulated, convinced or some how made to self hate. That is the parents fault. The brunt of my childs education is based on what I  put into him. The notion that any parent should accept what PAISD has tried to push down people's throats is Utterly ridiculous. If a kid  transfers and ends up getting a scholarship you mean to tell me he couldn't have started at Memorial. So Memorial has more talent than the college the kid is going to. That is laughable.

PA (South County) is a hotbed of talent in every sport,  always has been. They just need coaching with an understanding of the kids. A little give and take goes a long way.

Titans and Sharks this yr!
