He IS the MAN and dont need to change nuttin!!! I have played a lot of baseball and been around some good players and he is the BEST !!!! and he does talk too much

bigred the more you talk the more you show that you know nothing

bigred, you're the guy that sits in the stands and lives through the players you watch, probably because you either sat the bench or was not involved in any sports, maybe band or choir, not taking anything away from those two because they are respectible extracurricular activities. You keep bringing "Vidor" into this when really all you are doing is embarassing BC, really who in their right mind would read this post and think you were intelligent :shock: not many. So br75 why don't you find a band message board and you can talk about who the next great flute player is. Peace out!

Hey ETBU with all of this BH/ Huffman talk goging on I don't here much about the other teams in our district. Who is the #3 team in district 23?

Alto As an Alto fan, I think our team has a great chance to do something special next year. In no way at all do we think just because we dropped that we will "win-it-all" so don't get that impression about us. We have a great coaching staff lead by Coach Keith Gardner and amazing athletes/talent. I know our kids have been working hard since November and are ready to go! We are playing a brutal non-district schedule with two 3-way scrimmages against Elysian Fields/Harleton and Corrigan-Camden/Palestine Westwood and non-district schedule which consists of: San Augustine, Timpson, Burkeville, Hemphill, and Huntington. We can't wait for the season to start and I hope to talk good football with you guys throughout the year!

WOS John Patterson gets the start against Houston Astros Monday at 1 PM for Washington Nationals. Seen Patterson many times during high school and talk about throwing gas. What a treat during district back then, you could see 3 current professional players battle it Tuesday and Friday as Nederland Brian Sanches, LCM's Beau Hale and WOS John Patterson let it go.

heres the story HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) -- Driver Paul Dana died after a two-car crash Sunday during the warmup for the season-opening IRL IndyCar Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The other driver, Ed Carpenter, was awake and alert at a Miami hospital, IRL officials said. Dana, 30, a former motorsports journalist with a degree from Northwestern, was a rookie who competed in three IRL races for Ethanol Hemelgarn Racing last year with a best finish of 10th in the race at Homestead. The Toyota Indy 300 race was expected to be run as scheduled. Bobby Rahal, co-owner of Rahal Letterman Racing for which Dana was to race this season, said the team's other two cars -- driven by Danica Patrick and Buddy Rice -- will be pulled out of the race. Dana's wife, Tonya, was in Indianapolis, where the couple lived, and was notified of her husband's death while attending a church service. "Obviously, this is a very black day for us," Rahal said. "This is a great tragedy." Carpenter spun and hit the wall moments after the practice began at 10 a.m. EST. As Carpenter's battered car slid to a stop, Dana slammed into it at almost full speed -- about 200 mph. Dana's car nearly split in half. The chassis flew about 6 feet off the ground and pieces were strewn down the track. It nearly turned over, but landed on its wheels before sliding to a halt. Buddy Lazier said Dana passed him and Scott Sharp after both slowed because of the accident. "He carried way too much speed in and wasn't aware of what was going on around him," Lazier said. There was no immediate explanation for Dana's failure to slow down several seconds after the yellow lights came on around the track because of Carpenter's crash. "That's just the first time of the weekend that we got all 20 cars on the track at the same time," said IRL president Brian Barnhart. "Ed had his problem in turn two initially. The yellow lights were called immediately and all systems functioned properly. It's just a busy time out there, with a lot of cars and a lot of traffic." Rahal said the team knew of no problem with communications. "The spotter made clear the incident," Rahal said. "From what I could see, there was a car on the outside. Paul was just passing or had just passed, but I think it would be conjecture and probably very irresponsible for me to try to dissect as to why what happened, happened. But there was no problem with communication." It took track safety workers about 15 minutes to get both drivers out of their cars. The practice session did not resume. Rahal, who co-owns the team with television talk show host David Letterman, said the plan was to field cars for Patrick and Rice at next Sunday's race in St. Petersburg, Fla. He said any future plans for the No. 17 entry, the car driven by Dana, "are unclear at this time." Dana and Carpenter, the stepson of IRL founder Tony George, both were airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. IRL officials said Dana died shortly before noon. Vision Racing team general manager Larry Curry said he was told Carpenter "would be fine." Dana is the first IRL driver killed since Tony Renna died in a crash during testing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in October 2003. The last NASCAR driver killed was Dale Earnhardt in February 2001, and the last driver to die in Formula One was Ayrton Senna in May 1994. It is the third racing death at the Homestead track -- John Nemechek was killed in a NASCAR truck race in February 1997 and Jeff Clinton died in a Grand Am sports car event at the track in March 2002.

Sensitive Crowd. Ok, instead of Trash Talk how about this. I was hoping to create an enviroment in which competitive banter between the antagonist and protagonist of the previous mention contest, can be exchanged.

No need to trash talk......This going to be a great game....No ifs ands or buts about it. Hardin is a good baseball team with a good coach, and so is Deweyville.......So this is all up to who shows up to play.

Trash talk????

In an effort to continually improve our site, we have now added a place where we can all talk about hunting, fishing, etc....I personally know how these things are in Southeast Texas, and I look forward to seeing how this turns out...thanks

Thanks for your input bobcat, you know I am here to set you OF people straight on any topic we talk about, hahaha. As for 3amagic, it just seems funny no matter how you beat a team, whether it be errors, hitting, bad calls from an ump, or whatever there are always people like you who want to get on here and play the blame game. If the score had been closer then your already ridiculous comments might have had more merit. BUT and I say BUT, it was a 10-0 game. Were you hoping for a music city miracle, or maybe you could bring in Kirk Gibson to try and win it for ya, give me a break. Do you want some cheese for your whine, while you and your investigators go to work. '''fyh Lets hear somemore excuses I am sure you have plenty in your bag.

football has nothing to do with baseball. I have seen great football players not even make the baseball team. You want to talk about speed. Joey Johnson is one of the best I,ve seen at running down the ball.

u wanna talk about stacked outfields...look at WOS...Earl Thomas (running back)...Jacoby Franks (wide reciever)...Tim McClelland who's just as fast and has a cannon for an arm...not taking anything away from HF of course i think the winner of this game will determine who comes in 2nd for district

Its really not fair to these kids to talk about D1 players as sophomores.Their alot of good young players out there but they are still light years away from D1 status.JaCovan has tons of talent and he will grow up.He will probably have the best shot eventually at a D1 school.

IRL driver Paul Dana dies after crash HOMESTEAD, Fla.

Buddy Lazier said Dana passed him and Scott Sharp after both slowed because of the accident. "He carried way too much speed in and wasn't aware of what was going on around him," Lazier said. Asked about Dana, Tony George, who founded the IRL in 1995 and is Carpenter's stepfather, said, "I really don't know at this point what happened or who was at fault. It's just a real shame. I don't know that it was inexperience. I don't want to say anything about that." There was no immediate explanation for Dana's failure to slow down several seconds after the yellow lights came on around the track because of Carpenter's crash. "That's just the first time of the weekend that we got all 20 cars on the track at the same time," said IRL president Brian Barnhart. "Ed had his problem in turn two initially.

But there was no problem with communication." It took track safety workers about 15 minutes to get both drivers out of their cars. The practice session did not resume. A moment of silence was observed before the start of the 300-mile race. Otherwise, the prerace ceremonies, including the introduction of the remaining 17 drivers, went according to schedule. Rahal, who co-owns the team with television talk show host David Letterman, said the plan was to field cars for Patrick and Rice at next Sunday's race in St. Petersburg, Fla. He said any future plans for the No. 17 entry, the car driven by Dana, "are unclear at this time." Dana and Carpenter, the stepson of IRL founder Tony George, both were airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. IRL officials said Dana died shortly before noon. George, who owns the Vision Racing team that fields cars for Carpenter and Tomas Scheckter, returned from the hospital about one hour before the start of the race. He did not disclose his stepson's injuries, but said Carpenter was still awaiting a CAT scan, adding "He's the lowest priority, so it looks like he will be fine." Dana is the first IRL driver killed since Tony Renna died in a crash during testing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in October 2003. The last NASCAR driver killed was Dale Earnhardt in February 2001, and the last driver to die in Formula One was Ayrton Senna in May 1994. It is the third racing death at the Homestead track - John Nemechek was killed in a NASCAR truck race in February 1997 and Jeff Clinton died in a Grand Am sports car event at the track in March 2002. The IRL also had a tragedy in May 1999 when a wheel from a car sailed into the grandstand at what was then Charlotte Motor Speedway, killing three spectators and injuring eight others.

I know yall dont mainly talk about JV but i believe that the wos Jv is trying 2 make a turn around season after losing 2 kirbyville 5-4 in kirby's last at-bat. they have hj in hj wut are yalls prejections??

ok lets quit all of this arguein and talk bout wut this topic was made for? who do yall think are truelly some of the elite freshmen?

first of all, to the retiredoldcoach, cody has other options. And he does not have to go to the state capital. Second, i can assure you that what happened with the catcher interference is definately NOT taught and will be reprimanded. IF you watch this on video, you will see Cody going over and fussing at him. And third, when Cody came out to talk to the ump the first time the ump told him that he needed to go to the dugout. He did. After that inning was over, he jogging out to his coaching position and the ump said "I told you you were suspended to the dugout". Misunderstanding. But it was already enough to set him off even more. Cody has NOTHING to be ashamed of. by the way bearbacker, i like how you can honestly put 2 runs scored on passed balls. Nice!

from what I heard I think 1 of them was walked and the second one reached on a hit before the hit that drove them in, but I could be wrong. Nonetheless it sounds like it was a great game. I should have made the drive to watch it. I also heard that HJ had many chances as well. Supposedly in the 2nd inning Sparks walked the first 3 to load the bases and then struck out the next three. Talk about working out of a jam!!!

LCM got out play , the bulldogs won't let it happen at home .the only way they can win is by the umpires help.all yall can talk about is the LCM PLAYER WHAT about the nederland player .they get no credit soph. Aaron McFarland hit a double off the wall in right center to score there first run.The LCM player and fan are bad sport.they argue every call until they got some lucky call. the batter in the last inning didn't get hit by the pitch because if he did he would have went to first on his on . he went after the umpire told him to .so that tell me he didn't get hit.the other one was a foul tip that the umpire said it wasn't (lucky for LCM)

Well I agree things happen for a reason. The reason is so we can talk about it on here.............Just kidding. Yes in the GRAND scheme of life it does not matter. Kids will move on and do whatever they want to do no matter what happens, I do not think them making or not making a team for that matter will be the catalyst in them being good people. All that good stuff starts and home, and is only fostered by good coaches, teachers, ect. There is a better way to do things, maybe we will never see it, but there is nothing wrong in talking about it, and voicing ones disagreement over things that happen. Whether it be a kid or adult writing a post on here, it does promote thinking, and standing for what you believe in. Good, bad, or indifferent. CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!haha

Angry???????? How do you get angry out of me stating that the picks were a little in a favor of one team or another. That is not anger my friend that is FACT! And I have never bashed any kid on here EVER. I would like you to find a post where I have mentioned anything like that. So in that fact you are WRONG. I have no feelings towards these kids one way or another, I am speaking of the coaches who picked these teams, and how the process is. Its ridiculous like I have said before counteless times. I know the facts of how these teams are picked and it is biased, and if you do not want to believe that, then live in ignorance. But do not come on here and try and paint me as some angry person, who has bashed kids because that is ridiculous. I am not a YES man to whatever people tell me is so called "the way it is." Nothing ever gets changed if no one speaks of it. From the number of posts that are on this topic from me stating how unfair it is, I would imagine that it is a good thing to debate the process how fair or unfair it is. This is my opinion, just like you have yours. I understand that people are not always going to agree on something like this, especially when you people from OF think yall are Gods greatest gift to girls basketball. If you really understand what I am saying than you would know that I would not care if BC girls had won state. I would not be promoting them to be all first or second team all district. I am for spreading the wealth. Whats wrong with that. YOU do not like it because that would mean losing one of the OF girls off of first or second team. If it was vice versa I am sure you would be on here defending them to be on the team. Lets just use a little common sense here when these picks are made is all I am trying to get across, however in the mist of that, people want to read in ALL kind of other crap, like anger, jealousy, STUPIDITY, and so on. Just read the post for what it is worth, and quit always trying to compare picks and stuff to football, baseball, and softball, talk about jealousy, I wonder what that is??????

Johnson passes Kenseth for last-lap win at Vegas LAS VEGAS -- It took Jimmie Johnson 270 laps to get to the front Sunday, but that was soon enough. Johnson took advantage of a late-race caution flag Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, catching and passing Matt Kenseth in a two-lap overtime sprint to the finish in the UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400. 1. Jimmie Johnson Chevy 2. Matt Kenseth Ford 3. Kyle Busch Chevy 4. Kasey Kahne Dodge 5. Jeff Gordon Chevrolet Victory LaneJimmie Johnson celebrates his Las Vegas victory Final lapsJohnson passes Kenseth in the last turn to take the win Runner-upKenseth disappointed with his second-place finish Rough racingThings get heated between Stewart and Kyle Busch Early cautionsNewman and Sorenson both smack the wall hard Sign up for TrackPass now BUY THE NEXTEL i836 Johnson's No. 48 Chevrolet surged past Kenseth's No. 17 Ford on the outside after the two sped side-by-side through the third and fourth turns on the 1.5-mile oval for the final time. The winner crossed by finish line 0.115 seconds -- about half a car-length -- ahead as he led a lap for the only time in the 271-lap event. Johnson said he sympathized with Kenseth for getting beat that way, noting he lost to Carl Edwards on the same kind of move last spring in Atlanta and then edged Bobby Labonte with an outside pass on the last lap in May at Charlotte. "I was slowly catching Matt before that last caution," Johnson said. "I think we could have got up there to race with him but, if it stayed green, I believe Matt had it in the bag. Then we got that last yellow. "I thought long and hard about what I would do if I was protecting the lead. I knew I wanted to be on the outside. I faked kind of to the bottom and he kind of bought it." Asked if he thought about trying to block Johnson's move to the outside, Kenseth said, "I was running in the groove where my car was the fastest. If I had to redo it right now, I don't think there was anything I could have done different." Johnson is off to a great start in 2006, winning the Daytona 500 and finishing second two weeks ago in California before taking his 20th career win on Sunday. And he's doing it without crew chief Chad Knaus, banned by NASCAR for the first four races of the season after making unapproved modifications to Johnson's car in Daytona qualifying. With lead engineer Darian Grubb stepping in for Knaus, Johnson will head to Atlanta Motor Speedway next week with a 52-point lead on Kenseth in the standings. It was Johnson's second consecutive victory at Vegas, but this one was a lot harder than 2005 when he led 107 laps. It appeared through most of the race that Kenseth was going to get an easy win after being handed a victory two weeks ago in California when front-runners Greg Biffle and Tony Stewart encountered late-race engine problems. ENGINES EXAMINED LAS VEGAS -- NASCAR spent Sunday night examining the motors from five of the top-running cars in the UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400. NASCAR tore down the engines of race-winner Jimmie Johnson and runner-up Matt Kenseth in the garage area at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The engines of Mark Martin, Kasey Kahne and Kyle Busch were taken by NASCAR and will be torn down at the NASCAR Research and Development Center in Concord, N.C. NASCAR takes engines, often with little notice, to measure their horsepower and gauge parity between teams. The sanctioning body selects engines that represent all three manufacturers, sometimes taking up to 10 motors from the 43 finishers. Kenseth, who won at Vegas in 2003 and 2004, led a race-high 146 laps and was out front and almost assured of victory before a collision between rookie Denny Hamlin and Kenny Wallace brought out the last of seven caution flags on Lap 264 of the race scheduled to go 267 laps. A dejected Kenseth told his crew by radio his engine didn't feel strong for the restart, but he was able to hold off Johnson for a lap-and-a-half after the green flag waved for the final time on Lap 270. "Sorry, you guys won a race and I lost it," Kenseth said to his crew. "Can't do no more, I don't know." All three Cup races this season have gone into overtime because of late-race cautions. After getting out of the car, Kenseth said, "Nobody likes to run second. We led all day. ... If I tried any harder, we were going to wreck. I just got beat." Local boy Kyle Busch, who ran second to Johnson last year, finished third, followed by Kasey Kahne, Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin. Two-time and reigning Cup champion Stewart had his second consecutive disappointing finish after running fifth in Daytona. He led 54 laps Sunday and stayed in the top five until the last few laps when he had a tire rubbing and fell back into the pack, finishing 21st. Stewart became angry at Busch late in the race, reaching out the window and shaking his fist at the younger driver and bumping the rear of Busch's car at one point. The defending champ is 19th in the standings, already 236 points behind Johnson. The 20-year-old Busch, who was criticized by Stewart at Daytona for being too aggressive on the racetrack, said he didn't feel he was doing anything wrong but would be glad to talk with Stewart about it. "With about 40 laps to go, it's time to race and time to get after it and that's what I was doing," said Busch, last year's top rookie. "If I did something and aggravated Stewart, well, I'm sorry."
