KFDM COOP

Just curious. I know there was alot of people there. I didn't make it either but did i did have a camera person there.

Did you go to this event Lazeek?

Good point. But then again you would be playing teams in the playoffs with numbers closer to yours. But i see your point with the travel and money to travel for fans. It all boils down to the question for fans, coaches etc..."WOULD YOU RATHER TRAVEL MORE AND MAKE THE PLAYOFFS OR KEEP IT THE SAME AND NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS".

No kidding.

The new rankings will be posted tonight. There will be a small school (2A-1A) poll added as well this week.

Who knows.. ;D

This is all i could find.. [Hidden Content]

Jury trial ordered in soccer harassment suit RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A jury should hear the sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former North Carolina soccer player against her coach, a federal appeals court ruled Monday. Melissa Jennings has accused Anson Dorrance of sexually harassing team members by asking about their sexual activity. Jennings, a walk-on reserve goalkeeper for two seasons, also said the harassment broke Title IX laws by limiting her ability to take advantage of collegiate athletics. In a rare decision from the entire 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., 10 judges decided that Jennings should get a jury trial on the sexual harassment and Title IX charges. Two judges dissented. "It was sort of a daily torment," her attorney, Daniel Konicek of Geneva, Ill., said Monday. "Nobody should have to endure that in order to enjoy the benefits of collegiate athletics." That decision came nine years after Jennings and another player, Debbie Keller, sued Dorrance, the university and officials who dealt with her harassment accusations. Keller settled her portion of the case in March 2004. FIND MORE STORIES IN: NC | Tar Heels | Jury | Jennings | Title IX | Debbie Keller U.S. District Court Judge N. Carlton Tilley Jr. in Greensboro had dismissed Jennings' lawsuit in October 2004. "We've been waiting and waiting," Konicek said. "It's been a long, hard fight." A spokesman for the university didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment Monday. Jennings, who now works as a school teacher and part-time soccer coach in the Chicago area, claimed that during a one-on-one meeting to discuss her academic and athletic progress, Dorrance bluntly asked about her sex life. Dorrance cut her from the team in 1998. In an opinion written by M. Blane Michael, judges determined that Jennings and her lawyers produced significant facts to show that Dorrance subjected her to sexual harassment and that the harassment may have created a hostile or abusive environment. Dorrance, still the coach for the Tar Heels, denied making the remark but acknowledged in an apology letter that he participated in sexual banter of a "jesting or teasing nature" with groups of players. Dorrance, the most successful women's soccer coach in U.S. college history, has coached the Tar Heels to 19 national championships in 27 seasons since 1979, including a national title last season. He also coached the women's national team from 1986-1994, leading them to a gold medal in 1991 at the inaugural women's World Cup. Copyright 2007 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

PHILADELPHIA - As expected, the Philadelphia Phillies have postponed the series finale against the Astros today because of a tremendous storm that has hit the area. The teams have a mutual day off April 23, and it’s likely that the game will be made up on that date. But no announcement has been made yet. For now, the main concern is getting out of Philadelphia, and there’s no guarantee the Astros will get out until after their scheduled flight at 5:30 p.m., if the weather even allows. “It’s going to be a long day. Our plane is coming from Ontario, Calif.,†general manager Tim Purpura said. “In some ways it’s a positive where at least it’s coming from the west. If it was coming from Newark or Cleveland and then to Houston, it’d be worse. “There’s no chance to get anything earlier. And there’s already delays I hear of … 40 minutes and I’ve heard up to two hours.†The Astros also have been told that over 100 flights on regional jets have been canceled up the New Jersey Turnpike at Newark’s Liberty Airport. Lefthander Wandy Rodriguez, who has been pushed back from two scheduled starts because of inclement weather, will now start Monday night against the Florida Marlins in the first game of a two-game set at Minute Maid Park. Roy Oswalt will start Tuesday on short rest while righthander Chris Sampson will start Wednesday night. The Astros have had a game postponed for the second time in five days. They also were snowed out Wednesday at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs. That game has been rescheduled for July 12 at Wrigley Field, but the Astros’ players, through the union, are still lobbying to have that game played on June 11. “I’ve had enough days without pitching,†Rodriguez said Saturday while contemplating the expected rainout. “I want to pitch.†Rodriguez (0-1, 3.86 ERA) hasn’t pitched since losing against the St. Louis Cardinals on April 6. With righthander Jason Jennings on the 15-day disabled list, the Astros will make a roster move and call up a pitcher from the minors to likely arrive Monday. Because the finale against the Phillies was postponed, the Astros won’t need another starter to take over for Jennings until Friday night in the opener of a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park. For that reason, they have the luxury of calling up a reliever from the minors until then before calling up a starter from the minors or shifting Brian Moehler from the bullpen to the rotation and keeping the reliever that came up from the minors. Matt Albers and Fernando Nieve are the top two starting candidates from Class AAA Round Rock, but Nieve has struggled badly since he was demoted. At Class AA Corpus Christi, lefthander Troy Patton has excelled and is the top candidate for promotion. Lefthanders Stephen Randolph and Mark McLemore, and righthanders Miguel Asencio and Paul Estrada are the top bullpen candidates at Round Rock. “The way we talked (Saturday) night was that if we did get canceled today we wouldn’t need a fifth starter until Friday,†Purpura said. “What it may do for us is we may bring up a reliever. Although we’ve talked about that, we got guys like Moehler who’ve only pitched once, so there’s no desperate need to get a reliever. “What we also can do if we’re going to start somebody from the minors is bring them up early and stick them in the bullpen.†If anything, the bullpen candidates might have been more consistent of late at Round Rock. “Stephen Randolph’s pitched very well down there,†Purpura said. “And also being lefthanded that’s an intriguing option for us. He’s done a nice job. Estrada has pitched fairly well. I don’t know that he’s a guy we’d bring up on a short-term basis. Asencio’s pitched very well, McLemore’s pitched well.†Adding another twist, the Phillies and Astros were scheduled to honor Jackie Robinson today on the 60th Anniversary of the Hall of Famer’s breaking baseball’s color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Both teams were set to wear Robinson’s No. 42. There’s a chance that the clubs will honor Robinson on the makeup date. “My understanding is that we would wear them when we come back here, maybe next Monday,†Purpura said. The Astros have ordered special road uniforms for the event, and they’d love to wear them as a team. After the Cincinnati Reds’ Ken Griffey Jr. sought and received permission from commissioner Bud Selig to honor Robinson by wearing No. 42, Selig offered the privilege to all the players. Carlos Lee jumped at the opportunity when Purpura offered. Then Selig opened it up to managers and coaches after Willie Randolph, one of only two black managers, sought permission. Soon thereafter, Astros bench Cecil Cooper, one of the few blacks in that important role, received permission to wear No. 42 on Robinson’s Day. It didn’t take much longer before the Astros decided the whole team would wear Robinson’s No. 42. “When Philadelphia decided to do it as a team, we decided to do it as a team,†Purpura said. “I wanted everybody to do it together. It’s an evolving situation and a very positive situation. “It’s a situation that’s evolved. I think it’s a great situation. I’m glad people are talking about Jackie Robinson and his impact on the game.†Drayton McLane, one of the first owners to hire a black general manager in baseball, is perhaps the only owner with a black bench coach and a black assistant general manager. Nonetheless, Purpura and McLane aren’t happy that the Astros are one of only two teams in the majors without a black player. Considering their longstanding desire to have a second lefthander in the bullpen and the rainout, they might actually have a black player on the team if Randolph is called up.

Yes.

Richard, Netherly grab Gamble Awards By Dave Rogers The Port Arthur News PORT ARTHUR – Richard Netherly had a feeling he’d win the Mr. Inside Award for 2007 at Saturday night’s fifth annual James Gamble Awards banquet. And he was right. Kris Richard had a feeling he wouldn’t repeat as Mr. Outside because his competition included two state players of the year and Memorial High’s scoring machine. He was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. And every one of the 400 or so basketball fans in attendance at the Carl Parker Center went home feeling good about the state of high school hoops in Southeast Texas. After all, this area put an unprecedented three teams into last month’s UIL state championship games and two, Hardin-Jefferson in Class 3A and Kountze in 2A, brought home all the marbles. Other local teams like West Brook and Memorial returned to the playoffs after a few years’ absence. “We would like to think the success Southeast Texas had in Austin this year was just a little bit because the youngsters are working hard to be recognized with these awards,†said Gamble, the Hall of Fame coach who led Port Arthur Lincoln to four state titles in the 1980s. The teams from Hardin-Jefferson, Kountze and Class 4A runnerup Beaumont Ozen received a special recognition at the event at Lamar State College-Port Arthur. Lincoln High players from the pre-integration Prairie View Interscholastic League days were saluted, too. Richard, a 6-foot-4 Ozen senior, became the second two-time winner in the short history of the event, joining Ashton Hall of Kountze, the Mr. Inside winner in 2004 and 2005. A Tulane University signee, Richard is on a list of Mr. Outside Award winners that includes Trey McDowell of West Brook (2003), Keithan Hancock of Kountze (2004) and Rod Bellard of Ozen (2005). “I didn’t think I’d win it two years in a row,†said the all-stater who was a leader on Ozen teams that went 82-8 the past three seasons and posted a perfect 38-0 record in district games. Ozen wrapped up a 29-6 season with an upset of Fort Worth Dunbar in the state semifinals and a loss to No. 1-ranked South Oak Cliff in the Class 4A title game. “It’s a great honor,†Richard said after his win. Netherly, a 6-foot-7 West Orange-Stark forward, said he expected to win the Mr. Inside Award last year when he led his team to its first state tourney trip.
