You guys either forget or don't realize that Beaumont pays all three coaches the same salary. Last I looked Stump was making less than $80K a year. Same as Washington and Nelson. He will be offered $95K+ somewhere and WB will not be able to counter because it would cost them 45K+ and they are not about to pay Nelson or Washington $95K! He also is not going to be AD at WB. And wherever he goes, he will bring his son's with him. Besides I hear that there is or was another Freshman that started over his son this year??(is this correct?) If Faircloth leaves PNG, it will be for Permian! Of course Permians own Coach Allman who was a Permian allum left for Austin Westlake and $125K a year this year (and they are playing for th state title this weekend). I think if Faircloth gets paid (and PNG will pay) he will stay for a while. The key will be keeping all of the great assistant coaches he brought in (several will be HC candidates very soon somewhere).

That WR/DB was good, but not the best player I saw on that team! *I think they earned it

T: Greg Lunceford,    Port Neches-Groves 6-6 280            Sr. Wow Greg grew about 3 inches and gained about 30 pounds overnight. He also moved up a grade (he is a Jr.)! I know his dad goes 6'8" and his brother was about 6'6", but Greg is only about 6'3". Not any love for those Vidor Linemen or RB's on any of these teams. Really suprises me. Also quite shocked that Stump got coach of the year. He did a great job and made I nice run and jsut about any other year I would agree, but a first time coach turning around a 3-6 last place finisher into an 11-1 team that lost in a nail bitter to the possible State Champs? Oh Well. Congrats to all these young men and Coach Stump. He is an excellent coach (Just wonder how much longer WB can keep him at that salary?)

[quote name="speedkills" post="731257" timestamp="1260966744"] Not committed anywhere but not right sure you can commit tilll your a senior. He has several colleges looking at him but I think he will be going to Texas. BTW I think Jeremy Johnson will be a great fit at West Virginia the kids a beast I wish him the best. [/quote] You can verbally committ anytime you want, but as we say all the time it really means nothing. One of the top DL recruits in the nation just last week stated to the local media that he was still verbally committed to U of Miami, but that USF was number 1 on his list?????? So what the heck does that mean? Sounds like he is verbally committed to USF!

He won't play QB in college if he gets any offers.

While I agree that Dunbars playmaking ability will be missed, I think the inexperience at ILB as the guy that keeps the defense straight will be the hardest thing to replace early. remember they are essential the QB on defense. Those two guys were always active pre-snap in getting the Dline in position and play recognition. That takes time to develop. If you think back to most of our really good defenses they had a second year guy at LB. You will probably see the same thing with Central (Hale) and Lumberton (Beard). Notice most posters from those schools are saying the same thing.

I hope all of the girls enjoy the winter break and get everything they want for Christmas. Always good to step away for a while and re-energize those "Softball Batteries"! Looking forward as always to a new year and seeing you gals and guys on the diamond soon enough. Here is to a healthy 2010 to all and to a great, spirited, respectful season coming up. Hope every one has a very safe and sound Holiday season.

[quote name="TexazBall" post="731363" timestamp="1260977630"] #44 Jacolby Hale His Prove to Me agianst Friednswood with his leadership skills and play, He will be playing somewere big on Saturdays n Sundays.. [/quote] Utah is were he is verbaled. Not a bad program. Not sure how much he will like the state of Utah. Lot different from SETX in scenary and the people, but the football program is right on the edge of BCS Bowl year in and year out (ask Alabama!)

I know most of you would expect me to say Harmon (and he would be a close second), but I think the Benoit/Kerr duo will be a greater loss. We still have an offensive leader in Doty, but lossing those guys on defense, both two year starters at the ILB spots, means finding a new leader on that side of the ball.

3 FCS schools?? That's it.

[quote name="trout" post="731190" timestamp="1260937931"] If you ask team's coach first there will be no misunderstanding about what you trying to do by picking the other's teams kid. [/quote] Thank You Mr. Armentrout. That's what I thought and it has always been the policy that we have followed as well.

I'd like to hear from some of you veterans of the Select world on this one, please. Are there any un-written rules when attempting to pick up players from another team for a weekend tourney?

Good Job Thunder. TPS 98 is a very talented group of ladies. Good win. They were the class of the 98's last year winning the USFA 10U State & National Titles and placing 3rd in the very tough ASA National Championship tourney. Some of those girls played for Tx Magic the year before when my DD played with them. Congrats to Maddie, Logan, Bay, McKenzie, Anna, Destiny, Lindsey, Speedy and Hannah (sorry if I left someone out)

West Brook should finally have the team to knock off those Katy schools and make a State Title appearance! PNG QB - Doty RB - ?

Did I overlook him? That seems odd. [/quote] Nope, only local 3A school that had anyone make the teams was Jasper. ::) Again, I have never liked the AP all state teams, always too political. [/quote] I agree!!!!!!!! [/quote] Yep...I gave up on the AP polls a couple years back when they named Dravanti Johnson 4A Defensive MVP his senior year. He didn't even make 1st team all district (but he was a highly touted UT recruit)!

[quote name="Squaw1" post="729506" timestamp="1260720270"] If this award is issued based on ability only, the winner has to be Caleb Harmon. [/quote] Caleb will be one of the finalist, but Ford will win the WRS this year as well he should. He put up unreal numbers and led his team to the State title game.

[quote name="bigdaddyblue" post="726984" timestamp="1260379804"] I bet Merka really doesn't care about all this..He knows he will be playing on Saturday's in the Big 12,SEC,PAC-10,ETC.... [/quote] You really think Merka will play in one of the power BCS conferences? He will sign with a CUSA or Sunbelt school!

Last I heard he was coming back home next year from Navarro. LU!

You get better by playing people better than you. [/quote] I don't see WB playing 3-4A TEAMS in the "NON-district" schedule...I dislike that we play 2....I say the Beaumont Bowl trophy be awarded to the TEAM that goes further in the play offs and let WB slide in a SLC or WESTLAKE....IMO [/quote] I would have to agree with you there...The Beaumont bowl thing has WB tied up. They really do need to play a Woodlands, Katy, Elsik, type opponent in their extra game. As far as PNG, I would love to play one of these schools (FWood, Dayton or Dawson). PAM would be great for both schools. And having WOS back on the schedule is always a plus!

Harris finally stepped up toward the middle of the second half and took control. He was a non-factor before then. It looked like he decided to take control as a team leader and began to drive to the basket and make things happen. And Roc and staff began to feed off of that and ran the offense through him in isolation (it worked). Nabors was his usually jumpin jack self, but his rebound numbers were aided also by his poor shooting, or actually by the whole teams poor shooting. Shoot bad and you have more opps for offensive rebounds! Coy is still rough around the basket on offense, but he did a very good job of redirecting those easy baskets that #41 was getting before Coy got in the game down the stretch. Coy had several blocks, but it was his presence as a big man that helped most. This team has got to find a dependable outside shooter or they will not win a game in the SLC!

[quote name="lu cards" post="727542" timestamp="1260462567"] the montagne needs a facelift.im hoping it will be painted to match the new stadium. [/quote] It matches it now...Dirty White!

Berm seating?? There's always been "Berm Seating". That's just the hills in either endzone. Good lord I hope they are not trying to sell us all on "Berm Seating" as a draw. Sitting on the hill is nice for a kid, but it really shouldn't be considered in as a capacity figure!

For the record I had this team pegged at 15-17 and 5-11 for the season. Not sure that 5-11 will get us in the conference tournament? And I still stand by the 5-11 number.

Gotta protect the home court and steal a couple of road games in conference. If they do so then they win 15-20 this season and make the conference tourney. That would be a great accomplishment for this young group and quite the step in the right dirrection for next year.
