Isn't always? Try rarely. They can hit things like, WO-S will make the playoffs or win district but since they haven't lost a district game since dropping to 3A, it is not a hard call. Their prognostications aren't exactly legendary.

I think that Vidor has made the playoffs three times in 69 years. Maybe it is their time to break out.

GO PIRATES!!

In the lake or the channel?

If I remember correctly, they had 22 starters returning in 2005 and were supposed to be in also. It was the year of Rita so the season was cut short but they still didn't live up to expectations with almost the entire team returning. That is not to say that they will not win this year but simply returning starters or lettermen is not always the answer. Coaching and talent has to enter into the equation. How many times have other teams had more returning starters that WO-S?

No way. There are teams that do good at the JV or Freshman level that do not win at varsity level and vice versa. Talent can be seen but not the way a team plays when they reach Friday nights.

Which is the same every year in every selection process. No matter who is selected or who does the selecting, there will be people that will feel that some wrong people got in. That is the nature of the beast. That is why I always say, congratulations to those that made it and good try for those that didn't. The effort is what counts.

Is the Sportsman back open at the 4 way stop? They carried live shrimp before the store was just about carried away by Ike.

Why not? With that money, I would never have to work again and could have all of the time in the world for sports both participating and posting about it. I could be posting in my threads such as: 1. The day I attended 3 different major league games. 2. The trip to South America to the Amazon River to catch Peacock Bass and flew back that afternoon to do some elk hunting in Montana. 3. I liked bass fishing so much with the guide that day, I bought his boat and a house on the lake to store it at. Yep, I could find plenty of time to post.......

Grrrrr.... time for work.
