JMO it does not matter where the track meet was at knowing there was rain in the schedule the game should have been played as scheduled on Friday but they did not, to accommodate two kids, by doing that it screwed the entire district. Like I said this is just my opinion no disrespect meant toward any one.
[/quote]JMO Deweyville trying to accommodate the other team showed alot of [size=12pt]class[/size]. I would want to beat a team at 100% then for someone to say the outcome could have come out different. Some people could say they would have scewed the district up playing the game with one team at 90%. I say let the coaches, coach and make the decisions without everyone second guessing them. More than likely the game will be played and will decide outcome of the district. Thanks to the Deweyville Head Coach for trying to help all the kids and it was first class in my BOOK and hope the EC coaches would do the same for the kids in Deweyville. Good luck to both teams.

I think there is just a bit of frustration coming out...think about your statement Deweyville would want to beat EC when they were at 100%...well the same should go the other way as well. Not taking anything against DP number 2 guy but he is not Howell either and because the game was not played according to the schedule and the game was suspended due to weather, Howell will most likely not be the man today with playoffs looming Thursday. So now If EC wins did you get a game that was 100%...now throw Hardin into that mix...face it the situation is tainted either way you go play the schedule or reschedule. It think it is a true catch 22 situation. I applaued trying work with multi-sport athletes...so like I said no real answer to the situation so in situations like this I think you follow the schedule and next year get with UIL and try to use more foresight so maybe it's not such a no win situation. Game should get played today and playing the game is 100% better than living with a coin flip. Good luck to All involved.

[/quote]Howell on the mound until last enning. All this second guessing the coach does nobody any good. Howell pitched a good game and I don't think anything was tainted. Thank You God that the entire district was not screwed. LOL

I'm just thankful the game got played and it was not decided on a coin flip and if the weather had not improved at the last minute it would have been doubtful. As far as Howell on the mound I applaud the fact that Deweyville coach went for the win...I still think it not the best move with a playoff game possible in three days, but that's his coaches call. But you are right no body can look at it now and have a doubt that EC prevailed and did so playing a team that gave 100% of itself...sure got to feel better that way than a coin flip or playing a team that was in prime lineup to test EC's skill... Congrats to EC for a fine game and season.  Congrats to Deweyville for the same! Best of luck to you both in the playoffs.

    • We'll see. I don't trust us. 
    • Starting pitching has been shaky the last few weeks due to some injuries outside of Hagen Smith.  He goes tomorrow, so y’all should be fine 
    • Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind? 
    • MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
