Obviously some of you that are talking this trash aren't at the games. When Lumberton has been 10 run ruled - there was only 1 maybe 2 Seniors on the field. Coach is a good coach and talking this trash about the players needs to stop. A team is made up of players and it does not matter their age or if they are a Fresh., Soph., Jr. or Sr., what matters is how they perform as a team. I hope that some of this trash talk isn't coming from any of the players or the parents, if it is you're not much of a team player or parent! It's people such as yourselves who give a town a bad reputation!

Thanx MIF04. I was really was wondering how the rankings worked. Now I know. A little trash talk can't hurt either. :

I was there as well, and I agree with you. Lidge still has it, it's all mental now, and yes, last night didn't help that. The strange thing is, when he came out of the pen, there was a tremendous reseption......after "the pitch" he was being boooed just about every pitch.....Stros fans need to support him, he's who we have. We can either get on the ban wagon, and show we are behind him, and help him through it.........or we can help contribute to the problem! Remember, the Pirates hit 3 HR's......off 3 different pitchers! DIVA- Scott hit the ball VERY well last night.......and think, there was talk about trading him! I hope last night was an indication of Burke's play thin year in CF......he made some nice catches, he really covered some ground!

You guys remeber the first state champion team? I bet Spearman does. The score in the state championship game was like 56 to 7. The '98 team was due accolades also because at the time Newton was the fifth smallest 3A school in the state. People talk about size of schools and towns, but you can't play but 11 at a time on the field! A lot of these Newton kids grow up having a dad, brother, uncle, cousin, or neighbor that played and are expected to win. This is what gives you that little extra when things get tough. One of my Golden Triangle friends use to refer to us as those pine knots that would skin you all over. I agree.

Beat Buna and then come talk to me.

Uniden Thanks for the post. I thought I remembered that correctly. If you were a freshman under Moore then you know what I am talking about when I talk about discipline. I bet Moore would put REDHEAD in his place real quick.

First, that is a really good article about BH. Not only have they met expectations, they have exceeded them. Doing so after losing Barrera only makes their story better. Second, BC drops from 1 to 5 simply because Silsbee is now a very slight favorite to win that district. They have beaten both BC and Jasper and have only 1 game left with that group. BC and Jasper still have 2 games to beat each other up. Granted, Jasper can shake all of this or BC can 'sweep' the 'Dogs and stand side by side with Silsbee. It is still a great race in that district. Third, I agree with the earlier post -- the rankings are for everyone to talk about, agree or disagree with. They don't necessarily rank the ten best teams...they rank the teams that (on any given week) are doing the best within their district, classification, etc. By the way, anyone who wants a vote...just send me a PM by Saturday noon and we'll include it. We consider 'em all !!!!

if you have ever been in the stands at a HF game you would see that the players run the show,go up in the stands and talk to parents-friends,curse coaches on the sideline to where fans can hear-then be back in the game 2 plays later,certin players allowed to sit out practice. if you do not have the talent of the teams you are playing-you must be a disciplined- mistake free team.this is where HF has to be in order to compete.there have been other teams in the area. that have been able to win with less talent-LET'S HOPE THE BOARD WILL MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION.

Talk about a disorganized joke. I have never seen it this bad. They scheduled the long jump at the same time as the high jump and they were right next to each other using the same area. The girls were actually running into each other trying to compete. Then the Orangefield Coach (if you want to call her that I will be polite and call her Mrs. Hilter) was in charge of the high jump. Mrs. Hilter was sreaming at one of the dads who was help his daughter from Silsbee get her mark. (No Silsbee coaches in sight. I think they only brought two to the meet and they were at the triple jump pit on the other side of the football field.) Anyway, I found out that Mrs. Hitler told the girl from Silsbee that she could jump the long jump first and when she got through she could jump the high jump. So the Silsbee girl is preparing for the long jump and all of the sudden Mrs. Hitler calls her name out for the high jump. The girl from Silsbee ask for a few warm up jumps but Mrs. Hitler told her no. The girl from Silsbee started to tear up because she was told one thing by Mrs. Hilter and then was told another. Her dad was trying to explain the situation but it was clear that Mrs. Hilter didn't want the girl from Silsbee to get a chance to warm up. The girl from Silsbee looked like a good athelete and may have won the event if given a chance. It is ashame that people get caught up in winning so much that they have to cheat a little 14 year old jr. high girl from doing her best. It would have been no problem for the Silsbee girl to get a couple of warm up jumps. Then I saw something that really amazed me. The coaches working the long jump pit didn't have a clue on how to measure a long jump. There was this guy with the measuring tape attached to the end of a stick. If that wasn't stupid, the measuring tape was twisted up so bad that they had to pull it to get the kinks out. They never did try to unravel the mess they just continued measuring jump after jump with it. (what a joke.) Next lets go to the running events. The 100 meter hurdles, one of the premier events. They got the 7th graders and 8th graders mixed up and they were running against each other. Then they said that the girls that ran in the wrong heat had to run again. I have to hand it to the guy in charge on this one though. He made a good decision and said that the girls could keep there times if they wanted to and did not have to run it again. I thought that was the right thing to do. I'm not through yet. Let's go to the 200 meter hurdles. There were two heats in the 8th grade 200 meter hurdles. The first heat was won with a time of 31.27 seconds, a real good time for jr. high. The second heat was won by that same girls from Silsbee that got screwed around at the high jump by Mrs. Hitler. Her time was 30.44 seconds. Well guess what, by the time the scores got to the press box, that girl from Silsbee was in 4th place and the girls that won the first heat with a time of 31.27 got first. Strangest thing I have ever seen and you should have seen her father. He was really pissed but he kept his cool. I saw him talking to one of the Silsbee Coaches but then went back to the stands and sat down. I don't know what the coach said but he handled the upset dad pretty well. Anyway, from what little I saw that day the girls jr. high district track meet was a joke. Way too much politics and miss management going on. If they want to see who truely is the fastest thay need to run prelimiaries and finals in the shorter races. It don't take that much time to run a race and you will get true winners for eveyone to witness. Biggest and Best Fan of the Jasper Bulldogs. Go Dawgs!!!!!!!!!!

Go ahead and talk to spinks and neon bodeau and ask tehm who my teams are and for how long!!!! It has been one heck of a last year for me!!!! Going to continually get better tomorrow night!!!!

Red1, who said anything about District champs......I'm refering to BC saying we should be nice to other teams......my poiint was to bring out things that BC fans were saying before the game.......but now that they've lost......they don't want anyone talking smack to them......so my point is LEAD BY EXAMPLE, don't talk it before the game and you won't have to hear it after, if it doesn't work out the way you want it to!

I think the HF guys are just aggrivated that they aint quick enough to come back with humorous statements like us at HJ...its ok though we read all yalls comments and laugh at your frustration...chill guys its just a website for a little smack talk and information sharing...haha dont get so angry... try just learning to live with us beating you in everything...."thats life"

Well yah know ive been thinking about that...and Ive decided that us HJ guys will just talk about how bad its goin to be NEXT YEAR when we lace up the our shoes and beat yall again in EVERYTHING from UIL Academics to Soccer...haha

yeah im on the team! i get on just to see what people think! it gets me pumped up when i see we are not on anybody's good list! WE love it! i dont talk trash just simply trying to put my school and the team on the map; and earn some respect! thas it no harm in that!

Whoa now...Let's not get carried away, with all that play-off talk. I'll be happy if they just keep playing good, like they should have all along. Congradulations to Hardin and good luck with Anahuac on Tuesday.

Yep. Maybe playing them twice before anyone else gives them tigers a leg up in the district race. Those Dogs' from up north have got to be hungry now. GOOD LUCK 21-3A. I would not want to meet up with anyone in this district. You talk about playoff experience from just playing the regular season. GO Tigers!!! 8)

NEW: Gillispie balks at A&M deal COLLEGE STATION — At the end of another bizarre day in Texas A&M's quest to lock down basketball coach Billy Gillispie, school officials delayed an announcement of a new contract agreement after receiving indications from Gillispie that he wants to keep open his options for the most tantalizing of current job openings — Kentucky. According to sources close to the situation, Gillispie late in the day balked at verbally agreeing to a new contract placed before the A&M board of regents for approval on Thursday. Under the new contract, Gillispie's base salary would jump from $1.25 million to around $1.6 million per year. The school had hoped to announce the new deal Thursday afternoon and put to rest nearly a week of speculation about Gillispie's intentions to stay at A&M. The day's maneuverings kept the uncertainty alive for A&M fans, but brought a week of drama at Arkansas to an end. According to reports, the Razorbacks elected to drop pursuit of Gillispie after being informed by athletic director Bill Byrne around noon on Thursday that Gillispie, who is in Atlanta for the Final Four, was accepting the new contract offer at A&M and was staying put. Curiously, according to reports, Byrne contacted Arkansas athletic director Frank Broyles around 10 a.m. on Thursday to grant his permission for the Razorbacks to talk to Gillispie. Following the A&M regents meeting, A&M officials prepared a statement to acknowledge the new contract and announce Gillispie's acceptance of the deal. Around 7 p.m., the announcement plans were scrapped. [Hidden Content]

I wonder if they would talk about their mother or sister that way?

Loveofthegame, Please before you say stupid things check the facts, while it means absolutly nothing to me LSU-E plays a very good schedule that already includes a sweep of Galveston, and Laredo. They played and beat Wharton, and Bossier City last year. The head Coach at LSU-E has averaged 8 players a year signing with top D-1's. I understand the debate and everyone pulls for there own guy but with another great statement from Dayton That the catcher did not sign because Mcneese St. did not give him a full scholarship...........No such thing @ a D1 unless you are a LH Pitcher that throws 92+ and he will probably only get 80%. Jake Rowell has done it for 3 years in a row, Jackson and Carnahan need to stay healthy like Jake for 3 years and then we can talk. Catcher is a tough position and from what I understand Jake has played some 3B as well as 1B.

It seems that the biggest school in the district can only talk smack about the smallest school in the district. I thought the difference in the game this year was not talent but better coaching from Buna's coaching staff. They knew what we were going to do before we did it. Like I have said before the best teams in this district are Deweyville,Buna & East Chambers. JMO

Biggio one and done to end his great career? Biggio will reveal plans when 'time is right' Astros second baseman Craig Biggio has figured out how he wants his career to end. He just isn't telling anyone yet. "I know exactly what I want to do in my mind," Biggio said. "I'm just hoping it works out that way." The first step for Biggio would be to get the 70 hits he needs for 3,000. His next step might be to announce his retirement, effective at the end of the season. Biggio, 41, hinted at such a plan Tuesday in an interview with FOXSports.com. "When the time is right, I'm going to let everybody know," he says. "I think it's fair to the fans to let them know. I think they should know." He then mentioned former teammate Jeff Bagwell's final appearance in a Grapefruit League game last March. "If a lot of fans knew that was going to be Baggy's last game, they would have filled the stadium," Biggio said. "People would have come out in appreciation of how he played the game over the years. "He just wasn't able to get back from an injury. In general, I'm going to be honest with the fans." By doing so, Biggio would give himself the opportunity to take a victory lap around the National League and allow Astros fans to celebrate the end of a 20-year, likely Hall of Fame career. Cal Ripken took a similar approach with the Orioles in 2001, announcing on June 19 that he intended to retire at the end of the season. Biggio makes no secret of his desire to spend more time with his wife, Patty, and three children — Conor, 14, Cavan, 11, and Quinn, 7. "I love the game. I love my family. And I miss my family," Biggio says. "They've paid a big sacrifice. "As an older player, with your kids getting ready to go to high school, it gets harder and harder each year, especially coming down here (to spring training)." Biggio's agent, Barry Axelrod, says that Biggio has been saying such things for the past four or five years. "As his boys get closer to his high-school years, I think he's dying to be around them more," Axelrod says. "This is the last year of his contract. I guess if he hits .325, maybe they'll talk to us about one more. I can't predict anything. But I would think it's winding down." It has been a pleasure to watch this guy compete day in and day out for almost 20 years. Talk about a true gamer. HOF'er in my book

Geez people! SHUT UP AND PLAY. If anyone posting is hitting 1.000, then talk all you want to. Get off the computer, do some homework, or go practice hitting and throwing so you can let your actions do the talking!

It’s uncalled for in high school sports in my opinion. As a player that played on both levels I have just found it funny when little kids talk trash from behind a fence. But I know it is going to happen at the college level and by grown adults not just kids. Plus I 'm sure some of the things they said had nothing to do with the game (mainly because HJ was never even close), but were straight derogatory remarks towards Dishon. Which is also going to happen in college, but it just gets under my skin when somebody gets on here and brags about it.
