And tonight they will.

Michael McCain with a new number.,

Made it my question earlier about seating... Silsbee has entire bench side not just behind Tiger bench except for a section separated for the wos band. Wos side almost full. Behind Tiger bench full but very few Tiger fans behind Wos bench

On unfortunate question I have and it may be just not quite knowing the doors to the gym from inside. Is that if we are coming in from a different direction, is the seating going to be different as well?

That as far as closing the doors is nothing new, I am just hoping I can get there in time it will be right close to 6.

I know there has been trouble between bot of our schools in the past . I won't lay blame on either. The thing I was impressed with last year and what I had seen this year was how our athletes were past this. I know there are those In Both communities that won't let go of the past but that is what we must do and become better for not only the kids today but the ones in the future as well.

Got it.

Is it still on the same street? Not coming in from like behind the gym.

Where is this entrance or I guess mainly parking lot located when we arrive. I usually come up right in front of the gym and of course park in the lot between the football field and gym.

As much as I know why this statement is made, this is the type of statement that get read and help lead to situations like the overall one Tuesday night. We as a community need to take the high road and the better people!

No one blaming him for the players actions.

As far as discipline for any earlier allegations. We would not know unless someone within posted it as those matter are kept quiet within most if not all school districts. And yes we had a player earlier this year suspended for 2 games for mouthing to a ref. Which was a case where I don't think the player ever mouthed to the ref actually but was animated about getting the first call. And in this instance I was sitting actually at the scorers table as close to the incident as you can get.

Yes everyone knows that but an adult should be more responsible than making a video of a minor public. He could have withdrawn himself from it and turned it into the school. Or even the news media and the results would have been the same.

I missed this great post.

I totally understand that. My statement although I went off on a tangent was just in response to the question of why one would think down on the adult poster of the video. And my disagreement with going viral with the video. There were other more appropriate ways to go about it.

You did right in my eyes not posting one. I know Devon and know his personality. I have said and I won't make any excuse for his action. But my point on the last comment was as an adult that video should have been turned over to LCM ISD and let them handle it through the proper channels. Not put it online. Sure the behavior needs discipline but give him a chance to learn from it and become better. Sure I understand many feel that it wasn't getting taken care of from past accusations. If that's how he felt then handing it to his sons school to handle it was the way to go.

Honestly I know many will look at this and view my statement as biased because of being a Tiger fan and yes a Devon fan. But I would say both. This is a minor not an adult. Yes he made a big mistake. But how many of us didn't make big mistakes when we were young. I know I did. And I know many have kids that have made big mistakes. Yes Devons actions warrant a punishment and he has accepted it even if many of us adults haven't. Now to get back to why my answe is both. He is a minor but no adult should make a video like this public. He should have taken it to the administration and let them go through the channels to handle the situation. And as far as the statement, a child's future should in not be ruined by one rash decision in such a moment. He should be able to prove he has seen his error and become the person he should be and receive anything he deserves at that point. If the actions continue throughout the rest of his high school career, then I am sure those scholarship offers will be taken away. Honestly it makes you wonder what motives or issues an adult has when he takes actions like this against a minor.

The radio isn't either?

Very well stated. Whether you as an individual believe this punishment is too harsh or not. We owe it to Devon to help him through this but not so that it makes him forget that his decision was was wrong and there had to be some consequences. This is young man has a bright future that we will all be able to be proud of as long as we don't lead him down the wrong path.

This pep rally has been cancelled.

Autocorrect did! It's fixed now.

I have seen different ideas of this pep rally. I would hope if one is held it is in support of the team and yes even to let Devon know that we aren't turning our backs on him. I don't think this would be an appropriate way to protest the punishment. I have planned on being there to support the team. And I will and already have let Devon know I will be there to support him any way I can. Now if this rally is held and becomes a protest then I will leave. I think if you feel a need to protest the punishment it should be done in a way that will garner a response instead of one that may cause more strife. i have also heard that this rally will not be allowed to happen.

that may be your best post I have ever dad.

John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

No this player has not had any accusations or incidents like this until this year.
