You just want to complain; good game by both teams

BRIDGE CITY WON 27-20 WRONG SCORE ON THE TITLE 

Karen’s gone wild strikes again I guess.  🤷🏾‍♂️

From the above article...
“The governor and the (Ohio) health department have made it very clear that masks are required indoor and outdoor at sports facilities. They’re just part of the expectation,” said Venderlic. “They’re one of the requirements the OHSAA (Ohio High School Athletic Association) brought down and said that if we’re going to be able to have fall sports we’re going to have to social distance and we’re going to have to wear masks.”
“Our other options are no fans — which is not what we want to do,” said Schultheiss. “The other option is to stop the game and then we send kids home. I don’t want to hurt these kids. We’re here to respect the players and let the kids play.”
 
Do you're part, follow the guidelines, even if you don't agree, LET THEM PLAY!!!

Come on guys this a good informational site the votes are in if you ask me I think Rideaux should have won this coming from a Silsbee guy but the votes didn’t say that let’s stop with the race stuff this is an opinion board it’s ok to agree to disagree but let’s get away from the race stuff it’s ok it’s just a vote guys 

22-4a BC will walk away with it.. I think the next 3 is basically a coin flip with HJ/Silsbee/ HF/ LCM and you can’t count out lumberton 

One thing about Coach Sigler, he is going to do his homework.  No matter what Anyone thinks the odds Are he won’t throw in the towel.  

Holy Crap who did Colmesniel tick off to get stuck in there?! Ouch

The activities done during school time are subject to the hour per week rule.  Also the practice/scrimmage at 5pm was run by parents. No coaches were present, just like fall ball. Official practice started Friday just like everyone else.

Make sure you click on the second link.  This is the one that allows you to vote.
As to poll results, I tried signing up and also going to their twitter page and found nothing.

I tried to look and couldn't see a poll or anything.... I would like to know as well.

Funny thing is CardinalBacker probably did vote for H-F and just posted he voted for that other place just to get a reaction out of certain folks, apparently it's working. 🤷🏾‍♂️ 
 
There's a Briles lover on here i hear who does the same thing, sometimes it's best not to react, don't give em the satisfaction sometimes. ☕

BC 6- HJ 0

Oh yea good point, I guess they do. Will they have the football districts as well as B-ball? Maybe we could have an all Orange County roundball district with Vidor, WOS, BC, LCM and OF that would be cool.

Should have went for a 2 point conversion. Go for the win coach!

Cleveland missed an extra point to tie the game in the fourth!!!! 🤣

So... coaching carousel...?

Hit the nail on the head. Lots of teachers in my family. 
Also, I might add, the common belief that teachers or coaches are off-work when the kids aren't in school is way off base. The state keeps adding more and more and more paperwork, trainings, etc. There are enough mandatory trainings now that the state apparently expects teachers to also be doctors, lawyers, psychiatrists, etc.  One thing that is difficult to gauge is how long a teacher should work to earn that salary. A lot of administrators don't hold the teachers very accountable, so it would be easy to treat it like a 9 to 5 (or 8 to 4) job. But a good teacher - let alone a good coach - puts in a lot more than that. You would NOT want to pay them hourly. The insurance is bad but, combined with salaries rarely making a real jump (this year was an exception) teachers in this area in particular have no real raise in take-home pay more often than not.
Why does discipline stink? Mommies that don't believe Johnny's crap stinks. Administrators that don't want to deal with mommy. AND..... the state has begun to decide what is an acceptable discipline rate. Not sure now, but at one point they were essentially giving quotas that you can only have a certain number of kids disciplined in in-school-suspension or otherwise. So are you gonna send a kid for screaming obscenities in the hall? Or do you save that spot for a kid that vapes in the bathroom? Or threatens a teacher? Plus some kids are deemed not responsible for their actions due to disabilities and such - regardless of what it does to teachers and students.
Academically - the state is currently judging progress more by whether the kids are graduating than anything. So a kid that doesn't get a diploma means the school failed. Doesn't matter whether Johnny can spell or if Johnny simply refuses to learn how to spell. Standardized testing should prevent that - except they keep adding loopholes around that also. 
Additionally, the politics can be insane. There are very few schools that do anything like merit pay to begin with and the internal politics mean that might be irrelevant anyway. Also goes for discipline. Some kids get hammered for certain things. Other kids walk for the same reason. Sometimes simply because the people in charge like that kid.
So, to recap, beyond low salary (combined with insane insurance hikes), no discipline, low academic standards, expanded school year and out of school time requirements, politics and more. Gee, why might there be a shortage of teachers? The crazy thing is the state talks about being concerned about teacher shortages, yet they are making the job more difficult and unpleasant. A lot of coaches are flocking to the refineries - not because they don't enjoy coaching and the kids, but because the situation is so much better.
Most parents, I believe, are good parents that want the best for their kids and all the kids. I don't think they realize how messed up things are. The bottom of the barrel parents and kids are ruining it for everyone. Things will get better when the good parents realize the corrosion of standards are hurting everyone and they start demanding that their kids be taken more into account than the bad ones.

Cleveland didn’t score that many points during their football season.   

Cleveland missed an extra point to tie the game in the fourth!!!! 🤣

look, the kid is a special basketball talent and anyone who says otherwise just doesn't understand the game...I think he is asked to do too much on this Nederland team, but I think that is out of necessity to a large degree...consistently, teams double team him and rotate fresh defenders on to him in an effort to keep him somewhat in check...if he isn't any good, then why are they doing this???  The Dogs lack enough other playmakers to offset this and the really good teams can focus an inordinate amount of resource/defense on Hefner.
 
I think the "athlete" question is pretty moot...best athlete does not translate to best basketball player...Russel Westbrook may be the best athlete in the NBA, but while is a very good player, no one would argue that he is the best player in the league...Hef has a high basketball IQ, passes the ball and sees the floor extremely well, has a pretty good shot (which will only improve), and can jump out of the gym...his future is bright!  anybody trashing him on here really needs to look at the big picture and frankly, get a life...he is clearly one of the best in the area

I like kids. I just don't agree with how the school system is ran now a days. There is no more backbone. As soon as there is a little conflict with a parent not liking how something is done or somebody was a little hard on their kid, the school system caves and does what the parent wants. I'm not saying this is the case for all schools though.  

Don't get in that argument with Cardinal Backer.   He has an Elitist view........
