Well that doesn’t hurt lol Mainly it was their O line and D line play last year that will need to grow in the off season… Obviously no seniors on the team last year helps tremendously as well… 

"No SRs"?

Anyone have link to the digital copy available to subscribers?

Look in the "archives" section. There is a PDF copy.

If we’re all access, where do you find the digital magazine? I’ve looked & can’t seem to find it.

In the “archives”. The new magazine is in a PDF format. If you are looking up teams on their website you will likely not find current information till sometime after the season.

You can’t be serious.

Trinity can pass the "eye test". I expect they will have the biggest lineman in the district. Guy is a unit.

Coldspring down this year?

I anticipate they will unless the new HC can work some serious magic.

Do they return a lot of players?  Where do you see Anahuac in the big picture?  Who carries the load for Hardin?

Hardin does return a lot. They probably have the best player in the district at RB/LB. I dont believe Anahuac looks good with the loss of Barrier. I dont know what replacement options Anahuac may have but the kid they put in when Barrier was hurt does not look the part.  

Hardin will give them a challenge.

Or they were at camps etc...Silsbee signed up for this one late so the kids may have had other things planned....good chance for younger guys to get reps and they didnt perform poorly at all 

Definitely a possibility.

I don't think this had anything to do with commitment.

Agree 100%. Lot going on this week for many families. Also, sometimes kids just need a mental break.

Silsbee will be Running back by committee but I do believe someone will stand out by week 5. Johnson could have a phenomenal season inside and outside the pocket. Having full time at QB, you will see how talented he is. Silsbee lost alot but Silsbee also had a bunch of sophomore, juniors, and few freshman on varsity. I think JV and freshman were pretty good last year as well.

It appears that Silsbee and Shepherd have the most returning starters in the district.

Do WOS next

Would like to hear from the HF folks. HF seems to have lost the most starters to graduation of all the teams in the district.

Bro I really don't feel like even entertaining you because your motives aren't genuine at all but to answer your question there was only one girl complaining at Caldwell because there was only one girl participating in the exercise. Meanwhile there were 10 complaints about a bear crawl incident in Crandall a couple years back. 

Another brilliant analogy: multiple complaints = multiple to the ER. Keep them coming.

Athletes don't always complain about these type of injuries. That type of behavior is just not encouraged in athletic circles. You know that. Mothers don't always take their children to the ER for burns/blisters and if they go to the ER they're not always referred to the burn unit. Scenarios just don't always play out like this but if they did lots of coaches would constantly be in trouble. There was a 7th grade girl who publicly complained of 2nd degree burns she got from bear crawls on a turf field last April in Caldwel though. And turf gets hotter than grass or asphault regardless of what type of filler is used by the way 

Was it several girls at Caldwell (like WV)? 
 

Also, whether the turf is hotter or the same is irrelevant. Enjoy your irrelevant analogies. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next.

I got it going this way:

1. WO-S

2. Silsbee

3. HF

4. Jasper

5. Shepherd

6. Tarkington

 

A couple of DCTF guys has Silsbee winning district and being a regional favorite.

What would the biggest question mark be for Silsbee? I know they don’t have a void like they faced last year with Miller leaving. 

What is everyone thinking about the upcoming football season? WOS seems to be a solid pick to finally get back to a District Championship. Silsbee is hard to count out. Will HF reload? Will Jasper rebound after taking a drop back in 2024? Can Shepherd pick off one of the top 4? Does Tarkington have a chance to be competitive?

He's just a young guy who made a mistake and has allready paid for it more than some others in the past have. There was a coach in Alabama who had a simular issue a while back and he didn't even lose his job till he voluntarily resigned later. Much less get criminally charged. Like I said the kids hands will eventually heal. You can't erase what has allready happened but you can try to prevent it from happening again. And he won't be able to do it at WISD again because he's been fired. There's nothing else to be done at this point unless your gonna go charge all the teachers who have made kids do bear crawls previously. Hey let's charge the cheerleading instructors who allow little girls to do cartwheels and what not on the track Saturday evenings at this point. Like, what are we doing here? This stuff has to be fair across the board. Can't just have super severe punishment for certain people and let others get away scott-free.

Left out "burning hot track". Coach causes many (not one) kids to seek medical treatment and excuses because the wounds will "eventually heal". Compares to cheerleading. 

Astonishing degree of incomprehension.

Getting scrapes and blisters from bear crawls is not uncommon although nobody has ever been criminally charged for having kids do bear crawls before. And in this case the kids chose to do bear crawls so that would be some bs to criminally charge him for this in my opinion. He lost his job and although it's terrible this happened to the kids their hands will eventually heal. That should be enough 

Incredible logic: you can "injure kids and as long as the injuries eventually heal", everything is fine.

Where did the current coach go? 

He is available to the industry.

He gave the kids 2 options for 2 different workouts in an "athletic" class. That's not pressure. Having kids do a common exercise on a track is not negligence or omission. If he left them there unattended maybe it would be. Law enforcement is investigating because that's what they're supposed to do when something is presented to them by parents. 

If several of them seek medical treatment due to multiple degree burns on their hands it might indicate “negligence”. Most folks do not expect a group of kids to head to the ER after PE due to the day’s activity. 
 

I am fully aware that you have no concept of negligence even though another poster listed the legal definition.  

1 hour ago, Setx fan said:

There has to be some knowledge of potential danger for kids getting injured during a common exercise to be considered child endangerment. You making "2 choices" out to be some type of "pressure applied" seems like a desperate attempt to build your own case to me 

Where do you come up with this stuff? Do you understand what negligence and omission mean? 
 

In this case the kids were presented with do something that was supposedly fun from TikTok or something not fun. That is pressure. Allegedly, the coach also pressured them verbally after some were wanting to stop. 
 

This has nothing to do with me. Why are law enforcement and the DA investigating? With no potential for an offense?

BTW, you struggle with making up stuff on all of these threads.

I have no clue. I allready said that wasn't a good idea and I could understand why he would be fired and possibly never be able to coach again but Mr. Falcon is trying to build a criminal case against him as if he intentionally set out to cause harm to the kids. 

Mr Falcon has done nothing more than address your questions. The question was asked previously was “what could he potentially be charged with”. The answer was “child endangerment”. You are somehow stuck on the fact that the incident is “unintentional”, intention is not required for child endangerment to be applied. 
 

There is a criminal investigation going and is not being conducted by “Mr Falcon” but instead by law enforcement and the DA. He may or may not face charges but myself and many others will not be surprised if he does.

How not? 

Because the "opt out" would include a "workout". Choices were 1. "Do the challenge" or 2. "Do a workout". The obvious inference is that to avoid the "workout" you have to "do the challenge". That is "applying pressure". Afterwards, many kids sought medical treatment. 

*** For reference: 6th graders are not routinely capable of rendering adult judgement as to what is in their best interest. The point that the "challenge was optional" is utterly irrelevant. The kids were under the care and influence of an adult caregiver.
