I would agree. I think the fact that a new large high school is going to be built has pretty much ended the belief that there will be more than one high school for many years to come. If there was a reason for a surge in population then maybe but I don't see that in the near future. More like PA will lose population, not gain it.

It won't happen and I don't see how an attorney would try to file such a case. That is ridiculous. A lawyer is going to argue "The student took illegal drugs and you caught him so now you owe him money"? LOL.. right. I can guess that someone with a positive test might file an injunction to try to stop the results and to get independent testing. You surely won't see an argument that catching my son doing dope ruined his potential career.

I voted for .270 just because I use that most of the time. It is a good thing that not many people post in this forum since that topic can sure open a can of worms. For whitetail within 150 yards, I think a .223 and larger is fine assuming that you have the right cartridge in it. Somewhere between 100 and 150 yards some rounds tend to start showing problems. Rounds such as the 30-30 are devastating on deer but after 100 yards their trajectory really starts showing problems. A 30-30 zeroed at 100 yards will drop about 3 feet at 300. Great gun at 100, lousy at 300. If you know that all of your shots will be inside of 100 yards, the old 30-30 will match the best of them. Light fast rounds like the .223 will do the job with trajectory and will shoot very fast but they lose a lot of energy downrange. If someone wants to shoot a light flat cartridge then something like an 80 grain .243 should do the trick. If zeroed at 150 it only drops 8 inches at 300. It still carries about 1,000 foot/lbs of energy at that range which should get the job done. The .223, while a flat shooter, only has about 400-700 ft/lbs at that range. Again, great gun at 100 yards and lousy at 300. As for the more popular larger calibers, in my opinion the ones like the 25-06, .260 and .270 are good rounds. They are not quite the energy at 300 yards as the 7MM Rem Mag but they are close, they shoot about the same trajectory and you don't have to pick your arm up off of the ground after every shot. If I was hunting elk at 500 yards in Montana, the 7MM Rem Mag would be the way to go. I suspect that about 98% of whitetail shots, at least in east Texas, come from 150 yards in. Even in south Texas I would bet that very few are taken at beyond 300 yards. So.... it all depends on where you hunt, how far your longest shot will be (either by terrain or skill) and how much you don't mind pain. For east Texas I don't think anyone can go wrong with almost any listed but I would recommend the .243, .270 or .308 most do to good performance and availability of ammo. Toss in the 30-30 and 30-06 just for good measure. I don't believe in overkill but I sure see a lot of 7MM Rem Mags for sale. I think a lot of people like the idea of having a rifle that will bring down a bull moose and then realize that the time at the range spent in pain is not worth the bragging point.

That is about like saying that the parents are going to sue the cops because their kid got busted for selling dope, ruining his chances for medical school. I think that is a losing cause and such a lawsuit will never be filed. There may be a lawsuit for privacy rights or something similar but not for a lost opportunity.

No kidding. A Speckle Bellied Teal, a Blue Wing Mallard and a Fulvous Whistling Widgeon. Great stuff.

So long ago but if I remember correctly, Lincoln won district either two or three years in a row. That was when Little Joe was playing and also his younger brother Kenny who was the quarterback. Lincoln did not have a lot of success after the Washingon brothers left.

But then it becomes a bootleg item and the penalties for bootlegging/not paying taxes are MUCH higher than any penalties for marijuana. You would have the IRS down on you instead of the local PoPo.

It is your choice so you can post what you want but the OP said retired coach. The last I checked, Barbay has not retired.

Yeah. I was trying to find his record to back up my nomination and couldn't find it.

Pretty much. In the days when you had to win the district championship to go to the playoffs, Nederland went 16 times in 29 years. From 1937 to 1965 Nederland was the representative more times than all of the other district foes combined, 16-13. In that time frame Nederland went to the final game three times, winning one state championship. From 1953 to 1965, Nederland was the district champion 11 times in 13 years.

I don't know about their football but they have some great fishing.

Durley had many successful teams and took West Brook to the state championship their first year in existence. In his first year at West Brook, Durley was as many state championships as Etheridge did in his years at PN-G.

Alex Durley.

Ahhh yes, the evil money argument. Why won't the government be able to regulate and tax marijuana if they allow it to become legal?

If that was the game at their stadium, those were some big hits.

I agree... that it would be a shocker, not that they will win.

But with a first year coach, LC-M literally came one play from the playoffs last year. One play better this year would hardly be a stretch.

You just never know. If those kids get off to a good start and win a few games, they might start believing that they are supposed to win. From there it could be the year of the Lions.

I thought this was an advertisement to become a cop with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, also known as TABC.

I read the final version of the bill (SB-8) and the cost impact. From what was sent to the governor, it looks like the bill requires 30% of high schools to have testing for steroids, not every school. The cost impact reiterates this by again saying that the bill will require testing at 30% of high schools that sponsor UIL sanctioned events. The estimated cost to the state would be $4 million each year. FROM THE BILL: EDUCATION CODE Sec. 33.091 (d) The league shall adopt rules .......The testing program must: _____(3) be administered at approximately 30 percent of the high schools in this state that participate in athletic competitions sponsored or sanctioned by the league; FROM THE COST ESTIMATE/FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION: Fiscal Analysis The bill would require the University Interscholastic League (UIL) to establish and administer a steroid testing program at approximately 30% of high schools in the state involving random testing of a statistically significant number of high school student athletes at each selected school. The above text was taken straight from the Texas Legislature website from the passed bill and from the Legislative Budget Board cost impact.

Vidor has never been to the final game. One year in the early 60's they went to the quarterfinals or the semifinals. They might have tied that game but lost on penetrations. The UIL does not award title games by penetrations. Before the recent tiebreakers went into effect, co-state championships were awarded. I think the most recent around her was Beaumont French High School in 1984 when they tied Odessa Permian.

Yeah, I have the same problem.

I guess that I had better get rid of my collection of Chihuahuan Spotted Whiptail lizards. ;D
