Coach Davis said he will recruit the area heavily.

Probably because kids get tired of getting beat by the same team over and over. Pretty common actually.

He came out onto the field near the goal to yell at the referee about a non-call. The ref said go back to your bench. Coach kept yelling and got a yellow. Was told to go to the bench again. Said no. Got a red.

People are responsible for their own actions. Kids talking smack shouldn't make a coach get red carded and a player kick a ref. Are you giving that much power to some kids wearing purple?
 

Sounds like someone is gonna be in some pretty big trouble here. The coach will be suspended by the UIL for his actions and should lose his job. The kid is gonna get charged at some degree. There are laws in Texas to protect referees. It could range from harassment, menacing, to 3 levels of assault I believe. All over a game. Stupid. SMDH

Congrats to the winners and everyone nominated. Spectacular accomplishments!!!

always classy........

I've often wondered if that isn't the best thing for these kids.  With as many games as they play now, the late bloomers may be the kids kids to step up in HS, while the 10 yr old studs never make it that far.
 
I've seen plenty of kids pitch in a league game on Tuesday, throw a few innings of select on Saturday, then pitch the championship game on Sunday.  Kids arms aren't designed to take that kind of abuse.  Not pitching until now was probably the best thing for him.  If he can get with a good pitching coach to fine tune his mechanics, he can be very successful.  
 
Maybe I'm just old and played before select baseball came around and parents started paying $75 an hour on pitching lessons for 8 year olds.  I do know that we faced major league pitchers every week in district which you don't see now.  

I'll put my two cents in.Don't know why people can't congradulate the winners and just say it wouldn't have been my choice and leave it at that.All these arguments for and against have been weighed by the voters and the majority saw it one way.For me both MVP on offense were deserving and I think they should have been Co-MVP.That's just my take.

To: Ozensfinest. The vote is and the winners are Dallas & Tims. Deal with it and quit being a little winey crybaby. The voters do know what they are doing even though over the years I also have questioned the choices. The only disgrace is people like you who hate.

OK so you mind Jack Dallas winnning. Not only did the kid win a state title, he won the offensive MVP award of the state championship game. He threw for 3,113 yards and had 44 touchdowns without playing 80% of the 4th quarters of games this year and sometimes didn't touch the field after half. 
Quit hating and just say congratulations. This was nothing against the other players. Those guys are all amazing. Everyone of them represented our area very well. 

OzensFinest lol.  That name is so ironic.  Legend in his own mind.  

Raiders fought hard. Congrats to Nederland on the win. Good luck in the playoffs. 
 

Does not matter at all, 

School size doesn't matter as much for baseball, especially for a pitcher imo.

Screws PNG.  Looks like Lee with get the 4 seed now.  

After everything that's gone down in HF lately...I'm not sure I'd even consider working there..unless every single school board member not only resigned, but moved out of the school district.  Issues over there.  Real issues.

It's sad when a few parents end up running the show. Coach Harris will hopefully land on his feet and be happy when he is eventually in a better place to further his career. Coaching is a tough job because of this very thing. It shouldn't be a "political office" type job, but that's what it can turn into. It happens all the time these days. I also don't have the disposition for it. It was hard enough in little league and youth football to try and keep my mouth shut, but at least it didn't affect my family much. I know I'm aging myself but, the coaches in my day were some mean son of a guns but we respected them. No telling what we all had back then when we weren't ran off to the emergency room. I know I definitely ran a few sprints with shin splits in my day and it hurt like hell. Welcome back to mediocrity HF.

As a coach..you will always have my support.  I love sports...and I know sports.  I talk SPORTS all the time with neighbors, friends, and family members.  To the coaches I know..I never talk philosophy.  I don't give suggestions, I don't question, and I don't talk about it behind their back.  
When my kids were growing up I never ONCE suggested to my children that their coach was wrong, and it should be done the way I think it should be done.  Nor did I talk to or about the coach regarding concerns, even when I disagreed with the situation.  That man/woman is being paid to do the job the best way they see fit..so be it.  I had chances to get into coaching.  I didn't do it, so I'll let them do it.
And I do know you're right about the politics.  Which is the EXACT reason I couldn't coach in high school.  I have zero filter..never had one.  I'm very blunt, very honest, and very quick to my point.  My father raised me to be so...so it's what I know.  I can't express enough how undervalued educators are.  People very, very seldom realize the impact they have on the numerous amount of kids they come in contact with.  Situations like this make me sick.

All about staff. Soccer has had little to no coverage. Tonight bigger matchups were in soccer. I shot both games. Dave would normally grab a game if I was tied up, but he had to attend Taste of the Triangle (we do have to do more than the usual work stuff for our job). If it's not football season the only sports shooters tend to be the anchors. Trust me I'd love to have help. 

I dont even like duck.
Cant wait for next college football season.

I was born with burnt orange hair!
it is kinda like sunsets. 
 

Mine jammed once when I accidentally cycled a piece of cane lol. The good thing is they're so easy to disassemble, I did it right there in the blind. I even dropped the bolt assembly in the mud. Put her back together and went right back to hunting. Good hunting to you sir. I'll forgive your burnt orange affinity. ;-)

870 is a good gun
I have mine for over 40 yrs. 
It has never jammed
