I really find it funny when somebody is going to talk trash to an athlete like Dishon. When he is faster then anybody you have in your program, a better football player then anybody you have, a better baseball player then anybody you have, has a higher GPA ( I believe he is ranked highest male in his class), and honestly it would be funny to see any of you say any remarks to him to his face. No matter what you have on BC in basketball you will not have a player sign to a school from any sport that is comparable to LSU. So please show respect to him or any other player that is playing the actual sport. Because by them being on the field they are doing their best in actually competing in a sport, compared to sitting on their butt and drinking. And thanks for all of the details about the kids drinking because I have a friend who is an officer of Hardin County and he will be present at the next home game.

I teach Hunters education in Dayton feel free to ask any questions, if you are interested I would be glad to talk about it. March 26, 2007 Hunter Education Instructors Needed AUSTIN, Texas — Hunters 21 and older who find themselves wanting to give back to the activity they love and enjoy should contact the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and become certified as a hunter education instructor. “The department needs men and women to share their love for hunting and the great outdoors by volunteering as an instructor,†said Terry Erwin, hunter education program coordinator. “The Hunter Education Program's goals are to reduce hunting related accidents and violations; promote safe, responsible, knowledgeable and involved hunting practices and enhance conservation efforts, hunting traditions and values. Current instructors include game wardens, volunteers and professional educators, but we need your volunteer help to carry on this valuable tradition.†Prospective instructors must graduate from a state-certified hunter education student course in addition to taking TPWD’s four-hour online training and then attend an 8-hour instructor training workshop and written examination. Other steps include an oral interview by a TPWD game warden. A criminal background check will be conducted and those failing to meet certain standards may be denied certification. Application forms and a schedule of upcoming instructor certification workshops are available by contacting Erwin at (800) 792-1112 ext. 4999 or visit the TPWD web site at www.tpwd.state.tx.us/learning/hunter_education/instruct.phtml

Bettman worried about player safety and injury TORONTO -- NHL commissioner Gary Bettman says fighting is part of hockey and believes some people have been "running off a little too fast on this topic." "My view on fighting hasn't changed," Bettman told The Canadian Press on Monday. "We've never taken active steps or considered eliminating fighting from the game. "I've always taken the view that it's a part of the game and it rises and lowers based on what the game dictates." While Bettman seemed OK with the game's current stand on fighting, he's concerned about the larger safety issues. "The discussion that we've been having is about player safety and injuries," said Bettman. "We've had a number of injuries resulting from fighting recently. "The question is whether or not that's an aberration or whether or not it's something we need to be concerned about." He's not convinced anything needs to change. "I think it's premature for anybody to reach any conclusions," Bettman said. "I think the first [thing] is for us to decide whether or not it's an issue, whether or not there needs to be an adjustment. Because there may not be. "I think people are running off a little too fast on this topic. I know it's an emotional one for a lot of people and it gets a lot of attention, but to have a discussion about whether or not this is an issue is a long way from saying, `Here are the 10 things we need to do."' The recent debate started with Philadelphia Flyers tough guy Todd Fedoruk being taken off the ice on a stretcher last Wednesday night after a fight with the New York Rangers' Colton Orr. The following day, league disciplinarian Colin Campbell said it was time to look at fighting in the game. "I think it's time to ask the question," Campbell said. That simple comment immediately sent shock waves through the hockey world, with players, coaches and general managers weighing in on the issue. Bettman offered his opinion Monday. He expressed concern over the increasing size of players, citing the example of players who have led the league in fighting majors. Garry Howatt held that distinction 30 years ago and was 5-foot-9, 175 pounds. Twenty years ago, it was Chris Nilan of the Montreal Canadiens, who was 6-foot and weighed about 200 pounds. Ottawa Senators tough guy Brian McGrattan had the most majors last season. He's 6-foot-5, 250 pounds. "Players have gotten bigger," Bettman said. "As a result, we at least have to take a look to see what is the consequence of that on player safety." Suggestions about ways to increase safety have been wide ranging. While some have called for fighting to be eliminated completely, Fedoruk said he'd like to see tough guys wear protective gloves like mixed martial arts fighters. Don Cherry, the host of "Coach's Corner" on "Hockey Night in Canada," doesn't believe fighting will ever be banned. "Gary Bettman and I are great friends," he said. "And we both know that fighting has always been part of the game." Bettman thinks all relevant parties should be included in the discussion of whether fighting seriously jeopardizes the health of players. "The PA [players' association] obviously is going to have to be involved," he said. "This is something that's going to have to be discussed with the managers, with the competition committee ... and ultimately the board of governors." The popularity of fighting is not something that influences Bettman's opinion on its place in the sport. In fact, the commissioner doesn't think fighting has helped sell the game in nontraditional U.S. hockey markets. "I've never looked at it that way," Bettman said. "I think fighting has always reached whatever level is appropriate in the game and has been a part of the game. And I don't have a problem with that." The only thing he's concerned about is the players who make the game what it is. If fighting is a threat to their safety, that's the only reason he wants to talk about it. "Nobody wants to see our players injured on a regular basis," Bettman said. "That's the concern." Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press

PLAYER OF THE WEEK --- ANDY DEWEY OF THE DAYTON BRONCOS. WITH ALL THE PITCHING TALK IT IS EASY TO OVER LOOK WHAT MR. DEWEY DOES AT THE PLATE.

Hemphill mourns loss of 3 teens killed in car wreck By RYAN MYERS , The Enterprise Pete Churton/The Enterprise Hemphill High School students comfort each other Monday at a memorial for three students who died in a car wreck on Friday. HEMPHILL - Black ribbon, letters to suddenly departed friends. Openly weeping, students embraced Monday at a makeshift memorial near the Hemphill High School band hall. Like these teenagers, Hemphill has opened its heart, sharing a tragic burden. Three young women, Sara Katlyn Click, a sophomore; Sarah Emmaline Adame, a junior; and Sarah Elizabeth Felts, a senior, died Friday in a car wreck near Nacogdoches. In a town of 1,100, each was a well-known figure in a social scene of fewer than 300 high school students. Since the painful news arrived, parents have opened their homes, hosting impromptu gatherings where Hemphill's teens shared stories and grieved together for their friends. Denise Taylor, whose daughter was best friends with Adame, said the community's response has been as powerful as the tragedy. "The way people have turned out, it's like one big family here," Taylor said by phone while her daughter met with friends. "We've lost three beautiful girls who were truly loved," she said. At the high school Monday, principal Marc Griffin said a memorial began over the weekend with students deciding of their own accord to affix letters on a chain link fence near the band hall. Felts played trumpet in the band and Click was a majorette. Amid candles, stuffed animals, paintings and about 100 letters, one page read, "... three little angels we have watched them grow, three little angels we're proud to know." Griffin, born in Hemphill and a graduate of the high school, said counselors were at the school Monday from surrounding towns and nearby universities. Students kept the counselors busy, but Griffin said his faculty was equally affected, as each young woman had a parent or grandparent who works for the Hemphill Independent School District. "It would be hard to talk to anyone in town that didn't know them. We're talking about three well-known, role-model girls," the principal said. Planning for Monday's classes began Saturday, interim Superintendent Glenn Pearson said in his office. "All my administrators and some teachers met Saturday and then I met with them Sunday to plan what to do," Pearson said. Administrators visited each girl's parents, seeking their opinions, then prepared a press release and planned what teachers would say in classrooms, Pearson said. "The community is hurting right now," the superintendent said. The teachers came in early for a meeting; we knew the students would be hurting." An eighth grade track meet Monday night went on as scheduled so students would have a place to meet and talk and avoid being alone, Pearson said. On his way to the track meet, senior Jared Powell said students set aside differences Monday. "The morning was pretty touchy, a lot of awkward silence," Powell said by phone. "But usually everyone hangs out in their own little groups of friends, but today everyone hung out together, helped each other." Sarah Felts was a senior planning for college, described in letters on the memorial as a leader and trustworthy friend. Powell said Sara Click was a family friend and a talented baton twirler who "had fun no matter what the circumstances were." Her principal said Sarah Adame was a talented writer, who with the other girls competed in University Interscholastic League academic competitions. Another Hemphill High School student, 17-year-old Tasha Leann Felts, Sarah Felts' cousin, survived the accident but remained hospitalized Monday. Pearson said Tasha Felts was in serious condition with multiple broken bones but was improving. With Sarah Felts driving, the four girls were on their way to Nacogdoches and Lufkin for shopping and a movie, Griffin said. In a second car in the crash were Tina Smith, 32; Mindy Smith, 8; John Smith, 4; Amber Pierce, 25; and Destiny Pierce, 2, all of San Augustine. Each was listed in serious or stable condition after the wreck, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. Without much organization, most of Hemphill turned up at a park Saturday night, Taylor said. There were candles; mourners held hands and someone sang "Amazing Grace." The school band then marched in formation, without uniforms or instruments, to the high school. "These kids really love each other up here," Taylor said. "I grew up in a big city. It's not like that here." [email protected]

hey #3 yall are playing PNG friday at yalls place so when yall lose just admit it you wont have an excuse of saying how yall lost your just gunna have to face the fact that you need to stop the trash talk cause yall CAN NOT back it up

Here is the problem with baseball. You have way too many people who think that they know everything. You have Daddys who coached little league, select and whatever else you have......They think that because they put on a yankees shirt in t ball that they are all of sudden Joe Torre. The coach from Dayton is a professional. And he CARES about his kids. He is not going to jeopardize a young man's future to win a high school game. The problem I see is there are too many people on here who have some kind of axe to grind against Dayton and they want to criticize the coach and even his parents, The player from Dayton pitched a great game from what I can see. I don't think you should criticize anyone here. Maybe you should applaud him and talk about the great performances he has given. Way too many people on this board are very upset that Dayton entered your little Golden Triangle World back in September and has been at the top or very near it ever since.

I knew the "Vidor" comment was coming, but what can you expect from poor sports. It's not our fault ya'll can't catch a ball. Last time I checked that was part of the game. A little hint, before you talk smack take some fungo! :'(

is this a football fourm? i didn't say we killed tarkington in basketball or baseball. this is HS Football Talk. it would be different if i said that in the baseball or basketball thread. in football tarkington is horrible and it's always been like that. WOS def. killed us and i believe thats the toughest team liberty has ever faced. hopefully next year we can dodge them in the playoffs.

I did not say it was a Buna kid either. All I said was if it was a buna kid they would be sorry. As for tearing into goatherder I did nothing of the sort. All i said was what was the "Boy" for. As for pulling on my chain, I can not stand to see someone talk then ask why are you getting upset. I'm not upset but why say go back to class before your teacher gets mad BOY and then act like nothing was said. If you dish it out you had better be able to take it. I wonder if everyone had to reveal thier true identity how many people would post anything on here. Again, this is all in fun but be a little more thicked skinned. The good news is there is still a baseball game tonight @ 7:30. Oh, the project graduation will be serving burgers at the game so be sure to get you one and I hope you get to see a great ball game.

Who pulled your chain bobcat?? All goatherder stated was that people were not just making predictions but putting little smart remarks with the predictions! Everyone has the right to guess what they think the final score will be sure, but I looked back at goatherders predictions and in his defense they were just predictions with a little baseball talk in some, not "oh warren stinks" "their not as good as everyone says" things like that!! but as much as I love you defending this kid, just went a little far tearing into goatherder. and PS who said the kid was from Buna?

I do not understand the "Boy" goatherder? Who were you speaking too? I know several of the coaches and players on the Buna team and I can guarantee if a Buna kid is typing anything like that he would be sorry. I have not seen, not saying it is not true, a post that said Buna will kii everyone they play. Most of the post are that Buna is not killing everyone or Buna defending a post about them. I agree with ex-cardinal 86, don't post a prediction and then come back and say don't talk till after the game. This board is for fun and people need to be reminded of that. I'm sure deep down everyone hopes every school does well except when said school plays the school that they support. If it is a kid posting smack from Buna he had better hope he does not get caught because I'll bet my paycheck(Not Much) that Coach T will have that kid wishing he had never done it. Good luck to all 24-2A and lets keep this district exciting as it has been all year. That being said GO BUNA!!!!!!!!!

Hey why dont yall leave warrior sports alone...hes right its pretty much a coin toss in 2-A ball. Both warriors and buna have played good ball this year and they have both played lousey ball... but like warrior sports says dont talk no crap untill the games over.

Yall can talk all you want about whoever you want but untill you see the pitcher HF has then you havent seen anything. We have a kid on JV who throws upper 80s with a 78 hook that would buckle mickey mantle's knees. . The only reason Hes not our ace on varsity is because he just transferred here from mexico. This phenom's name is Jessie "Sit-em-down" Savoy and hes the REAL DEAL!!!!!!!!!

I hate it when reporters ask that question right after a loss. I know they have to, but I thought Roy Williams said it best when Bonnie Bernstein asked him after the NC game loss to Syarcuse if he was leaving to go to UNc. "Right now i gotta go talk to 13 guys that just lost the National Championship game. I don't give a s*@# about North Carolina right now." Best line in a post game interview I have ever heard!

Wow, you tell no one to predict the score and talk trash, but 3 or 4 posts up you predicted a score. The second thing, I don't think I would be calling Kountze weak when they are tied with you in district and you haven't played them yet. 3rd, the difference in your comparison is Buna won both their games and Warren didn't.
