Lions Pride 2021

MLB has a pretty comprehensive plan and they are not going to make this season work. The UIL and TEA are throwing stuff at the wall and hoping something sticks. 
Our criminal attorney general is trying to score political points with a small audience. 
We should listen to the scientists and doctors. if our local health officials say it's not safe for school to open, that should be what we do.

The mlb has only been up a week and by Monday could be shutdown for good because of more positive test. With some kind of bubble contaminant a like the nba its sports will not work. I will guarantee you if the  mlb shutdowns  monday it wont go unnotice by all levels.

You don't need all the people you think you do in a a refinery. There's a reason why the Golden has been taken out of Golden Triangle. It's called Automation. The new units only need 3-4 people to operate production. It used to take 10 times the amount of people to operate such facilities. The only time you need massive amount of people is for maintenance and turnarounds. That's a one time deal. The area isn't growing because it refuses to diversify.
Same with electric substations, power plants and pipeline structures, which are operated remotely. You only send people out there when there's a problem. 
I know this because I design these facilities. 
99 percent of traffic stops are fishing expeditions that target minorities, even though white people are more likely to be carrying contraband. So yes, kill out traffic stops and save the officers to clear traffic accidents and escort funeral processionals.
If you really need an x-ray, you're going to the doctor because you're messed up, but most of the visits we make don't involve that. it's my head hurts, or I got a little cough so just give me some pills so I can feel better.
Communion? There's always grape juice. 
You missed my point. if we would have stayed in, then we wouldn't be in this situation now. I'd like to see the games but I'm not so sure that now is the best time to play a contact sport when there's not any good guidance on how to play and minimize transmission. There's 1200 HS teams and there's no way to quarantine each team like there is in the pros. And our kids are playing for their enjoyment, not money. So there's no economic incentive for the participants, only the risk of catching a disease that could result in long term health risks and even death.
You may be okay with the risks, but a lot of people aren't. That doesn't make them less tough than you. It just means they prioritize their health over other entertainment.
 

2nd wave? Hell i thought we were still in the first wave since ppl don't wanna listen & take precautions. 

George Floyd's so called criminal past has nothing to do with how he was handled during his last interaction with law enforcement. No one should have a knee thrust in their neck for nearly 9 minutes while three other officers look on, no matter what he might have been accused of.
It's alleged he had a counterfeit bill. The worst that should have happened is take the bill for evidence and write the man a ticket.
Do you have any sympathy for your fellow man? Did your heart not break seeing injustice? 
A lot of people were stirred to righteous anger. We gotta a lot to fix in this country. Maybe momentum is on our side this time.
BTW, Ty Cobb is a well known bigot in the baseball world. If there's a man who doesn't belong in Cooperstown for morality, it's him. Maybe you might want to switch your handle up before you get confused for him.

He's a good coach. I remember him when coaches at McNeese. He's made strides in improving the program.

If he wasn't going far away, I wish he was headed to Lamar. At least I'll get to see him twice a year.
Talented kid. I hope he makes a lot of programs regret passing on him, including the one in Beaumont.
If he was offered Lamar, I can't blame him for wanting to get away from home. Lake Charles is far enough away from Silsbee to force you to find new friends and grow out of your comfort zone. 
A talented kid that grows up in your backyard, you at least gotta ask, even if they're dead set on leaving home.

You're getting some stuff mixed up. Repetitions is money due for work and services not paid for. 
Whether we think the payments were fair, the United States has paid reparations to people it had wronged such as Native Americans (via reservation and the current Indian bureau), Chinese Americans, and Japanese Americans. Black people, nope, no payment. so it's not unreasonable to expect payment especially since this county benefited from 250 years of unpaid labor and another 120 years of Jim crow depressed wages.
As for the Confederate flag, it's a traitors flag. The officers renounced their sworn commissions in the US Army to commit treason to fight against the United States so a rich few people could continue to own other people. The Confederacy and all the states in rebellion all stated in their constitution that they were committed to slavery and planned to expand it and they were fighting the United States to preserve slavery.
Is that a heritage you want to honor? The right to own other people?  if you're gonna fly that flag, at least fly the right one. it's a blank white sheet. it's also known as the surrender flag. The KKK eventually adopted it as their wardrobe. Be better than that.

The slur "Redskins" and "Indians" is as racist as using the N-word when you try to degrade African Americans. Flying the Confederate Flag is racist. Understand there is a zero % chance you get to heaven hating someone due to their skin color. 

Your the oppressor of course you would see it that way. Maybe if your land was stolen, your people locked forced into slavery, or you were treat unfair you could see it in their eyes. I'm sure your thr same guy who goes to the store and out in public with no mask. 

He was offered by Lamar.  Teams only have so many spots at so many positions.  Harrison from United committed first and took that spot.  Just how it works.  For what it’s worth, Kasen is a better fit for the Cards and Braelon is a better for what McNeese does.  Imo anyway.

Memorial has done a great job since it opened up. it also has been a small fish in a big pond, spending most of it's time playing in the now 6A where schools were often twice the size of the Titans. When PA had three school, the enrollments of their opponents were comparable. Lincoln was also blessed to have hall of fame level coaching and a few guys good enough to play basketball at the highest level.
Coach Coleman did an excellent job to get the Titans to the promised land. That was a great group of kids and coaches and the town should be proud. The program is solid and most towns would be envious of the success they continue to have.

That dude graduated. Nice kid off the field. 
Lumberton did what it had to do to put the game out of reach. Remove some of the mistakes, maybe it's a different game.  And I acknowledge mistakes are a big part of the game.
I just don't believe Lumberton is heads and above anyone in this district.

The top 3 are all capable of being district champs and I don't think anyone is going undefeated or winless this season (if we play, which I don't think is happening).
Everyone is going to beat on each other. I don't think there's a team here that head and shoulders above the group. probably looking at tiebreakers, point differentials and coin flips the first week of November to figure out who keeps play and who stays home.
 

Chains are a symbol of bondage.
I went to the Equal Justice Initiative a few years ago in Montgomery, Alabama, and the sculpture of Africans in chains at the memorial had me balling out crying.
Good riddance to the chain imagery.
If you haven't had a chance to go, it's worth the drive to go see the museum and memorial. 

Congratulations Trojans! 

The hierarchy of 4A ball in the area is Silsbee, Huffman and HJ, with everyone else scuffing and occasionally having an exceptional season.
The longhorns had a good season. It's been a while since they were competitive. But each year is different. HJ and Hargrave are probably going to be the favorites for the district title, as they should. They both have long time coaches and well established programs that keep the level of play steady.
And while Silsbee may step back, their team will be good enough to make the regional tournament if they get a good draw. They're still the team to beat in the area in this classification.
I wouldn't schedule a playoff spot for HF just yet. Livingston returns most of their team and Splendora will be much better. Shepherd lost 6 seniors but they still have a good center that alters shots (he's every bit of 6-9). Liberty will be improved too.
A good team is going to miss the playoffs. The Lions had a good year before with 19 wins and then sleep walked in 2020 and almost missed the playoffs. When a team hasn't made it in a long time and then gets there, there can be a hangover. That's going to be the test, how will your squad respond to it's first taste of success and teams giving your their max effort because you are now considered a good program building win.
HJ and Huffman come ready for war every year. I can't see them ceding the title easily.  Y'all gonna have to show me before I believe y'all belong in the top tier.

HJ played good defense against a great team and almost stopped the 100 point streak. That would have been a great moral victory.
But to go on about recruiting after the loss is sour grapes. They played the Lions tough last year and not a peep about it. If you're so sure about this, go file a complaint with the UIL, which frowns on this.
The reporter should have pushed back on this comment. Where is your evidence? Otherwise, he's just letting the coach libel another coach. Bad job, Beaumont Enterprise. When there were veterans in the editor desks, this would have never happened.
HJ could have avoided this by hanging on last Friday. They lost to the better team and there's no shame in that. 
This was an opportunity to teach his kids sometimes your best isn't good enough but that it's no reason to be ashamed because they laid it all on the line. Clay Davis is wrong.
