Folks, these are kids who did very dumb things and should be appropriately punished.  But let's be careful with all this jail and criminal charges talk.  Let the respective districts have a chance to mete out punishments.
Personally, I'm sick about this whole ordeal.  Good kids on both sides made some serious mistakes that I'm sure they wish they could take back.  As for the one drawing most of the ire (and not undeservingly), I've known the kid for several years, love the kid, and know he's better than that.  But you can't do what he did any time, any place or for any reason.  
My prayers are for the coaches and administrators tasked with making very tough decisions and for the kids who will hopefully take stock and learn some very serious life lessons from this ordeal. 

So is lcm not classy and just startpunching in a game or does this stem from something else...I watched lcm play their biggest rivalry wos...and didn't see any dirty play at all.there's more to this

Wouldn't be surprised if Morris Joseph was to win it, he had some tremendous stats for d-lineman. Over 150 tackles and at least 20 of those were TFL

Just so there's no misunderstanding, I'm saying looks like coach is the target of some sort of retaliation or disgruntled parent

The timing here is very suspicious. Ozen comes off a loss to Central and an Ozen parent comes forward with something that allegedly happened in November? I can add 1+1.... Can you?

I guess it's true what they say these days you are guilty until PROVEN innocent . Sad times we live in,I completely expect this to be resolved quickly after they gather the so called evidence. There is no wrong doing but hey I'll leave it up to the jury of public opinion since they love juicy news stories.

Crickets..................Yet when baseball starts Mr. Ump's feed will be full of the bleacher umpires waxing poetically the down falls and short comings of the misguided blue's out to steal the game from their team. They will be stating game situations, umpire's view and how they were out of position, and quoting the rule book verbatim 

The issue (if any) would be cultural adjustments, not much unlike 2 people who marry of different religions or lack of.....I can certainly understand the thinking that some use kids as an excuse. With that said, if two people are truly devout Christian and __________ (fill in blank.. Muslim, Atheist, etc) how would you raise your kids? To believe, not to believe, or what to believe....same could even be true of two Christians of different denominations........relationships are hard enough....I personally can't understand intentionally adding to that difficulty.......On that note...my daughter dates a black guy....very well educated, (working on his masters) respectful, and fun to be around........we have spent time with our whole family and his whole family....taken him on multiple family vacations....great guy!

Interracial couples easier on the eyes than gay couples.

I picked mine as an homage to Engelbert Humperdinck. He gave Jimi Hendrix his start. I can't imagine the audience's reaction back in 1966 when attending a concert by a straight-laced lily-white crooner, and out comes this black, huge afro, left handed psychedelic electric guitar player to open the gig (Psychedelic music at the time was big amongst the younger generation but was considered taboo for mainstream...the exact audience that would attend an Engelbert Humperdinck concert). Humperdinck took a huge chance of racial backlash, but was convinced Hendrix's talent would carry the day.
I had been using the username for years before I realized I was using the wrong spelling. By that time I figured it was too hard to change it.

Hey guys, I've been trolling around a while and thought I would jump in on this conversation. The bottom line is that arm injuries have skyrocketed in recent years and I applaud the proactive rule change. Is it perfect, absolutely not. Are there a lot of variables based on each individual kid and that particular game situation, absolutely. Can a kid throw 150 pitches in a game? Sure, but most likely their mechanics will begin to break down as they become fatigued. This is where the injuries either happen or begin to happen. I do agree with STYMIE that care must be taken when not on the mound. I suspect that this rule will be modified/improved over the course of the next few years and that it will result in fewer arm injuries. This whole situation reminds me of when they changed the bat standards a few years back. Everyone was screaming about how the change would kill the game. It took a couple of years for teams and coaches to adjust, but you don't even hear those complaints anymore.

It's not a slam on WOS.  This is almost the inverse of the football matchup.  Silsbee had a good team with plenty of talent (as did BC).  Yet both games were beatdowns.  
In hoops, WOS has not seen a team nearly as good as Silsbee.   And there is no way to simulate it in practice.   Plus, I have a feeling there will be no overlooking in this game.  Even if WOS was 0-3 instead of 3-0, there's going to be a payback attitude from the Tigers if I were guessing.  
Of course, if the Mustangs can put together some more quarters where they shoot 90% from the field and 100% behind the arc, that will certainly help.  
But you shouldn't take it as disrespect anymore than Silsbee should have when some of us picked WOS by 40+ on the gridiron...

Many of you have made some great calls from 8 rows up in the bleachers now is your chance to make those calls from the field. Time to put that armchair expertise to the test. TASO is looking for some help.
 
 
 

Yea, Newton had some sour apples that wanted to try and coach from the stands, no fights though, but it just kills me how our own fans can disrespect not just the coach's but the teenagers on the field, I hate that we lost but I also understand the  work put in to make a 4th round appearance it's not easy for any division.

That's a great story. I see it has also made its way over to Smoakys site. We should all ALWAYS remember. Coaches get graded on wins and losses by the fans. To the kids they are many times so much more than a win or loss. Really heartwarming that so many coaches go above and beyond. 

And Coaches have the right to listen and decide to stick with what they do 

This is going to be a great game! Better than what some are expecting. After seeing Stafford and Carthage, this game will be worth the price of admission!!! Stafford is extremely explosive and Carthage knows how to win.

Tried to tell Bellville..... WOS is a machine.....

Carthage can ill afford to take a break against Stafford but I think they are built for this one.
Gonna have to keep it under 35 to win though, imo.
Give me Carthage by 7
Carthage 31
Stafford 24

Have a nice offf season lol!

Unfortunately it's the world we live in. The "criminals" have more protection than the "police". There are just certain things we cannot do.
Was coach wrong? 
Legally? Probably. Do not think for one minute that a criminal does not know where cameras can and cannot be. That's why most illegal transactions take place in the high school bathrooms. However, we have to protect the privacy of  ALL students and shield them from the other criminals that prey on their vulnerability in "private" spaces.
Morally? Not one bit. He wanted to protect his athletes and their property. 
Should he be fired? No. IMO he should receive a reprimand and further training in this area.
Finally. I am glad he caught the little turd that was stealing. Weather the charges stick now or not, at least he has been brought into the light.

That's what I'm talking about! Keep it up BC ya got this!

You know i person dont make a whole team bad for what happen to one of the west orange football player  i have alot of respect for this football team and they came a long way im pulling for the cardinals in this one and they win big as well bridge city 54 stafford 41
