It's comical reading responses to this from people who have no idea or understanding on how anything works.
As with anything else that you want to give your opinion on, do your homework (couldn't help myself) and come in with some legs to stand on.
The rebuttal of "working parents", how do you handle Christmas break/Spring Break/Thanksgiving Break/SUMMER?
The removal of Friday doesn't mean the kids are losing time in the classroom, that time is made up by starting earlier and finishing later M-Th.
People throwing the wages argument of "part time work deserves part time pay" are ignorant if you think teachers are swimming in it.
I can keep going but unless you're involved, you can't possibly understand. My wife is in year 12 at a lower socioeconomic school and to help with getting by with 3 kids I continue to work my 6-day a week job. Thanks for taking up my lunch break with your ignorance.

The Admins, Teachers, and Students are always for it... I mean, who wouldn't be? Except it causes huge problems for working parents, worse testing scores, etc...
The only caveat to that is IF teachers are willing to take a 20% cut in their pay, I'd reconsider.
Educators collectively overestimate their value to the rest of society. Always have, always will. You don't work for the super, and you don't work for yourself. You work for the public. That's me, you, and anybody else that lives or owns property inside of a school district. In what planet would an employee working a 187 day schedule while expecting 260 day pay decide that the number of days that they work should be dropped to 150 days per year? It's laughable.
Hottest take of 2024 I've seen thus far.

That's the other Big Sandy, up in East Texas.
Foster should've gotten all-region considering what he did with the group he had 😆
In all seriousness though he does seem to make average players so much better than they oughta be

Definitely Tier 1.
HS basketball is losing a good one but congrats coach on an incredible career.

I don’t see a difference between Faith Family playing 4A schools and Silsbee playing Bridge City, WOS, Vidor, Lumberton, LCM & Jasper twice a year. Silsbee needs to move up to 5A where the district would be more competitive
Excuse me...what?

Watched Ponder in the HJ tournament and was very impressed. Not shocked they're in the state tournament. Really disciplined on both sides of the ball.
Used to follow Ponder back in the Boxell days. Glad to see they're still doing well.

My grandma would call you slow as syrup. And no she wasn’t talking about foot speed
You are a lost cause son. You won't be getting any more of my time. Have a nice day and don't do drugs.

I know this is irrelevant. But if Kobe had this same injury and it was a game 7… he would play and likely drop 40.
You are comparing the mentality of a HOF'er to a high school kid. Just log off son and go study for your tests.

I know the Dotson family very well. I’m not from Nederland or Lumberton… and also not a keyboard gangster. I never insinuated anything. You guys who are doing all this talking are telling on yourselves. Again, with this level of comprehension I’m sure your SAT scores were mediocre at best lmao. That’s if you even took it
Throw book smarts out the window, son. You brought up and compared an 18/3 high school kid to arguably a top 5 player of all time. Your common sense, or lack thereof, should've told you that one probably should've been kept in your almighty think tank.

Am I reading this thread correctly?
Did someone bring up Kobe's mentality in a high school forum...and we RAN with it!? This is some weird behavior on many levels, and some of you need to log out and get help.

Benjamin has a loss. They are 23-1
He may have been referring to playoffs

I can't believe I'm typing a sentence that has SP and Regional Tournament in it, but Good Luck Sharks!

No. BS took a 10 point lead early in the 3rd. After that, Thorndale stepped up their defense and created turnovers on consecutive possessions. Thorndale scored after every turnover tying the game by the end of the third. Just ended up being one of those nights. Thorndale is a solid team
Man TABC must've been sleeping on them, weren't even ranked. Hate that for BS, graduate a lot from what my friend told me and there's not much coming from JV.

Brookeland has never been 2A. And they started 3 sophomores and 2 freshman this year. And they have a great coach. Watch them in Baseball also. They gonna be very good. Next few years Brookeland will be going to Austin next 2 years is my prediction.
Both Brookeland and Martinsville were 2A last year if I'm not mistaken, both dropped to 1A this year with the new alignments.

Unless I'm thinking of a different Latexo that little bitty ole gym isn't gonna fit half the fans for that game.

If these guys were in another region other than 3 they'd be a shoe in to SA.

I want Kountze to have all the success, but they will have to play lights out IMO to beat EC or Orangefield.
I agree, it'll definitely be an exciting district season.

What an incredible career. Had the opportunity a few times to attend the BS tournament during the recent state runs they had and wow. His teams always had the utmost respect for him and it showed. Some mighty big shoes to fill, but you gotta think there are gonna be some quality applicants for this one.
