Recommended Posts

Big Sandy defeated the previoulsy unbeaten WH Oilers 61-45. The Oilers came into the game with an injured and sick Brandon Letsinger who did not start the game. Big Sandy; however,  played well and earned the victory fair and square. The Oilers were led by Tyler Copeland's 21 points. Letsinger played a little over half the game and chipped in with 10 including a 90 foot buzzer beater with 1 second left in the 3rd quarter. The loss drops the Oilers to 17-1 on the season. Congrats Oilers on a terrific run to start the season. You have a lot to be proud of. Congratulations to Big Sandy for playing a good game tonight.

Oilers you dont have nothing to hang your head about.

My hat is off to Brandon Letsinger for playing sick you did what you could!!!!!!

The Oilers seemed very cold tonight couldnt get a shot in the basket,the worst Ive seen them play. Great buzzer shot Letsinger should have been worth 6pts.

Do not hang your heads for one minute, Oilers!  You guys had the deck stacked against you and you came out and fought hard!!!  Big Sandy is a great team, but even they don't know tonight whether they can really beat you when you're all healthy!  Just remember:  It ain't over!  This is an extremely minor setback.  A perfect record would've been nice, but hey, not as nice as district champs is going to be!  Stay focused and stay strong!  All of your fans are behind you 100% and extremely proud of all of you!

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. - Michael Jordan

Look on the bright side.  The bulls-eye has been lifted off of each of your jerseys and you know what they say about paybacks.  You'll get your chance at them again.

I HATE TO HEAR IT SUGAR AND WH OILERS, GREAT STREAK LONGEST IN S E TX THIS YEAR :D. THE ONE THING NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IS WH HAD 26 PTS IN THE FIRST HALF AND TYLER COPELAND HAD 20!!!!! WAY TO PLAY TOUGH LETSINGER , IT TAKES A CERTAIN TYPE PERSON TO PUT IT ON THE LINE WHEN NOT 100%!  I AM GLAD HD PLAYED WH WHEN THEY DID ,NOTHING AGAINST BIG SANDY BUT WOULDN'T WANT IT THIS WAY. NO DISRESPECT BUT U TAKE COPELAND AND LETSINGER OUT OF MIX AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE? A HALF COURT TEAM

The shot was crazy! Inbounded the ball, he got it and threw it like one of those pretty football passes he throws, and swishhhhhhhh! Nothing but net!

GGGGGGGRRRRRRREEEEEEAAAATTTTTT! 

Now on the game. Yes BS played well. However they did not impress me as being that good of a team. They are disciplined and do the little things.

I look forward to seeing WH play them when Brandon and Ethan are healthy.

Jared Tomlinson I heard also had been through the stomach bug in the last day or two.

No excuses, but people can play with BS. WH will probably win by 20 w/ Letsinger healthy.

I have seen the oilers several times this year and really enjoyed watching them but I don't see them beating BS by 20.Letsinger is a very good player but BS always plays great defense and very fundamental offense.That combination leads to close games.Heres an idea for Coop.Put your 2 cents in for WH vs BS in the playoff preview at the Montagne Center next month.West Hardin should win at home and that could be the tie breaker like Kountze and EC did 2 years ago.That would let lots of folks see how good small school basketball can be.Congrats to the Oilers on a great start,yall will be fine. ;) ;) ;)

I am here, BS is has a very strong fundamental ball team, good job coach. WH looked flat tonight, never seemed to get on track. I know the school in general has had a lot of sickness, but BS came to play and they prevailed in this game, congrats to BS.

Now the monkey is off our back, lets play ball and get a District Championship!!!

You are a very good ball team and will continue to be so. Good game Tyler and thanks Brandon for a shot to remember.

    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success. 
    • Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
