Coaches, UIL and Player eligibility

[quote name="raideroldtimer" post="843079" timestamp="1284140870"] [quote author=w link=topic=72692.msg843054#msg843054 date=1284138629] I think it's one thing for a kid to move because the coach has "recruited" him and another thing if he moves for more playing time at a different school. If he can't cut it at one school and moves to another, more power to him. A lot of coaches would use that as a good reason for the kids that stayed to "get after" the other school when they play each other. That being said, why would a coach want to keep a kid that he knows doesn't want to play for him? [/quote]Being recruited or moving just to get more playing time are both terrible reasons for a kid to change schools. If the kid isn't getting enough playing time I see only 4 reasons for that. First of all, it could be (and this would be the most likely IMO) that the kid just isn't that good a player. Secondly, if he's not getting playing time and he's actually good, he probably has a major attitude problem that the coach feels warrants keeping his butt on the sidelines. Third, maybe the kid just can't cut it with the schools curriculum, which means he ought to ask the counselor for some help getting a tutor because moving to a school with easier curriculum is the lazy way out. Finally, and this would be the only reason I could see as justifiable to move, there could be an outside chance that he and the coach just can't figure a way to get along. Unfortunately in life there are rare instances when two personalities just can't resolve their differences but a move would only be justifiable AFTER an attempt to resolve the problem through the schools' administration. [/quote] What if he is good, a nice kid but is behind a real good group of players? What if he can change schools and the talent pool at the new school puts him on top? Now he's first string and playing under the lights...... just a what if! -

best fight song in the area
thetragichippy replied to Mr. Buddy Garrity's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
[quote name="NDNTime" post="842514" timestamp="1284061613"] A fight song cannot even be considered for being the best when a majority of the people have never heard it. When you have to put a youtube link up so everyone can get to hear it for the first time cannot equate to being the best fight song. With that being said, whether you love it or you hate, Cherokee is the most recognizable fight song and is known throughout this area. And everyone's disdain for Cherokee is what makes it so great. It creates a passion for those that love it and those that hate it. [/quote] I guess because I'm for TJ, I keep hearing this to the tune of Cherokee: Poor little Indian boys Jackets gonna sting them Indian boys ;D ;D ;D :o -

How many other school districts can you go into [b]first grade classrooms [/b] and the majority of kids know the high school fight song. I remember learning Cherokee before the National Anthem.

Lumberton PeeWee last year had a couple scrimages with Kountze and had no issues. The coaches last year were stand up guys. Best of luck to both of you! -

[quote name="Birddogtx" post="840619" timestamp="1283813990"] Dub, I appologize if calling off the dogs hurt your feelings. I am very aware of the rules as they pertain to substitutions. I guess you are the guru of special teams coaches. [b]Why did LCM onside kick their only kickoff?[/b] It might be because the kids are 7-8 and don't quite have the leg strength to kick it deep. 4 years of mediocrity must be a soul crushing endeavor. Sorry, spelling isn’t our strong suit in Lumberton, winning football games is. Keep making fun of the LTrain as we will just keep on counting our W's. Deal with it. [/quote] because it wins games ;D

[quote name="Raider81" post="837621" timestamp="1283545098"] Let's all join hands and sing Kum Bi Ya, now. And btw, are we planning to give out trophies and state titles to all the teams now, just to keep their self-esteem up? Yes, positive reinforcement is a good thing, but so also, is learning to deal with criticism. I don't think anyone here was too harsh on the boy. I am sure he felt awful about it and beat himself up about it. He wouldn't be a team player if he didn't. But, there comes a time in a boy's life when it's time to put on his big boy drawers and stick his chin out and be a man. This, in my opinion, is one of those times. Yeah, he probably did get picked on about it, and would have whether this forum existed or not. Believe me, kids got picked on for stuff like that back in the old days before the internet and cell phones and in the small town that Lumberton was then, EVERYONE KNEW EVERYTHING. The kid learned a couple of tough lessons ... not to do what he did, and to live with the consequences of his mistake, which includes people talking about it and teasing him a bit about it. He also learned that he will be forgiven and that life goes on. That's life and now is the time in his to learn to deal with stuff like this. Playing high school football is about far more than the game. Every experience these kids have is helping to shape who they are and who they will become. So tough lesson it was, but he needed it to help him grow. He'll be a better person and a better man for it. [/quote] [size=14pt][b]GREAT POST!![/b][/size] The kid made a mistake and paid the price. I have read this PUBLIC forum and have not seen anything out of line. When something is said out of line, the moderators are not shy about locking a thread or deleting a post! ;) -

Braided might be great for saltwater, but I have had nothing but probelms in freshwater. Its like fishing with sewing thread (with the strength of steel) and it gets caught in EVERYTHING(including your reel)......Then if you get hung.......cut the line.....
