This is very interesting. Many call baseball the "series" sport and feel it should be that way at all levels and should have been instituted years ago. Many districts have moved to same opponent in a week to make it more "series like." The state tournament is likely never changing, but a 3 game series to decide it all could be fun if it were ever to do so. Only would add 1 week to the playoffs.

Thought you might be saying that. If this is accurate, that is very uncharacteristic of athletes in that program. Hope this is a one off situation.

Agree on the waste. I'll leave this topic be as it should remain a sport forum in this area. Hope the young man gets some assistance and recovery is rapid.

Tell me again this won't get political. I guarantee you there are anti-athletic factions embedded throughout education that will be adamantly opposed. Again, I'm not stating whether it should or should not be covered. I just know people and truly know educators. As for my corruption statement...some insurance group will look to completely control this if it were ever to occur...then some politician will be linked to massive kick backs. My intent is not upset or be disagreeable. Just things to think about it. Also, if this is so simple of an issue, why has it not been instituted? It has liklely been examined by our government officials before now.

Turned it down? What do you mean with this statement? Curious.

When our tax payer dollars are at stake and the legislators are involved, everything is political. By your screen name, I know you and I vote the same party. Promise you, if this hit the floor of our state government it will get nasty. I will simply leave it at that. I'm not disagreeing with you all about taking care of this young man or any student athlete, but politicians will find a way to make this a problem. Insurance and our government. Think we won't have corruption. Think again.

Careful. We are headed for politics in a sports thread.

I may be wrong on this, but the school insurance options aren't always the best and I believe there are quite a few qualification issues and/or cost based on household income. If someone with direct knowledge could give more detail or correct me it would be nice.

You have been on this classification issue for several years. It's old, its tired, and it's run its course. I guess every class below 6A DI is useless, because a larger school/town could say that to any level below. FWIW, the bleachers statement was truly hilarious....especially since the Newton folks have been inside AT&T a few times. Quite sure large bleachers aren't a concern. One more for you. Newton has handled East Chambers quite convincingly over the years while EC was consistently defeating Orangefield. So, your Orangefield vs. Newton does really hold water. If your going to try to be cute at least be accurate. Just a thought.

That will be interesting to watch. It could take 4 years or it could take 10, but that area is and will continue to grow.

For the future of the program, hope this is the case. However, 8th grade programs don't always correlate to varsity success in the future. Also, the class above and below better have some athletes to mix in when the 8th grades are juniors and seniors. Seldom if ever is a 3A program going to be strong when counting on only 1 grade. What's the present freshmen class like?

We have a game again.

I said if.....and if you knew Lance Dale, you would know why that is funny.

If Anahuac scores after the INT, this may be over!

Thanks.

EC quarterback have any size to him? Hard to tell on the video feed. He is talented! If he isn't on the field the half time score would likely be much worse.

It's back up.

Game cut off during EC scoring drive. Only me?

FWIW, all of you they are bragging on the burger would likely agree...this place is much more than a burger joint. Wonderful seafood, oysters cooked in 6 different styles (if still on the menu), quality steaks, etc. Grab the burger before the game, but go back and hang one day while exploring menu. I know people that rank it above well known seafood places in the BPA area. Enjoy the game folks!

About 4.5 miles. Excellent place.

This is accurate. Plus it reads returning players not starters, yes that seems picky until you do a deeper dive. Some of those names may have started on the other side of the ball or have been a 2nd teamer last year. That level (3A) can get interesting with position movement from one year to the next.

👍

Not a big deal, but he put a period not a comma after chance. I belive the chance reference is to the chance of getting to 2000 yards rushing. He was stating/implying I believe, that they won't be a sure out in the first round as they can't match up with Bellville due to what you mention. I may be wrong.

Thank you, kindly.

I assume by the way I read this, the backup QB sees time at a different position or positions but did not take the field at all against Jasper?
