We throw great around way to much these days. They were very deep and very good.

Mike may be the choice just based on being named last year and being known. Really kind of hard to put him there just because he missed so much. To me the one that deserves it if you can pick one is G

MacArthur was 1985/86. Don't know if he played in the game but was nominated as a McDonald's All American. He was a USA Today 2nd team all American as well.

I think this year's team is one of the best. Really gonna miss watching Grubbs, Dontre, and Lil Rick. 31-6 and state runner is nothing to shake your head at. A town of 7000 playing vs a city of 2 million. Lincoln, Carter, and Skyline should all be 5A. 

Skyline is 6A , but why should Lincoln and Carter be forced to play 6A? Dallas is not like Houston or even Beaumont ISDs. They do not allow players to transfer between programs or pick their high school. Madison did break the rules, but they were caught and Dallas has only doubled down on the efforts on making sure the players live in the attendance zone of the school they attend or else sit out. The coaches and administrators were fired, as well as the state championship being vacated. Skyline does accept players but only if they are in the magnet program and that is not many of the athletes. If you look at their football program they have a lot less players than other 6A programs.

South Dallas has always just had athletes. Lincoln and Madison are a little bit more north, but Carter and SOC are a part of Dallas ISD. DeSoto, Duncanville, and Lancaster are all separate districts. It might be one of the most talented areas in the country based on the size of the area.

Nothing against Silsbee. Hopefully they will win it next year. I just don't think schools should be forced to play in a different classification because it is in a city. Houston ISD is another story because of the rules, but Dallas, the San Antonio districts, Fort Worth, and Austin do not allow transfers. They follow the same rules as Silsbee and Hardin Jefferson and for that they should not be punished.

Put that 1994, 95 team in that class! That team played against NBA player Steve Jackson had a lot more  competition back then! That team also beat that bumble bee team and went down to the wire to make it to state,it went into over time the bees won state that year! More people the  Montagne has ever seen! IMO

That game was played in Deer Park.  I was at that game, and I have never seen the Montagne, much less been in it.

D Lincoln won it all.  I refuse to believe those players just happened to grow up in the area of D Lincoln. There was some manipulation somewhere along the line.

I can remember the teams in 71, 72.  Great teams.  Some of those teams after that I didn't see.  This year's team was the first to blow by the state semi final game, with a 40 pt win at that.   Therefore this year's team has a legitimate argument for being the best team of all times.

After the Madison scandal, Dallas checks everything twice. You can refuse to believe it, but if the players have transferred in from another school within Dallas ISD or elsewhere they have to sit out a year. It could be that 4 or 5 transferred in as freshman but then again a player from Kountze or Lumberton could transfer in to Silsbee. The same rules apply. If they don't live there it's one year waiting.

I think what made this team special was their depth. But, I don't think their top group is as strong individually as the teams mentioned in the 90s. 

 

Also, the depth has been the talking point all year, but I was a little confused that it wasn't utilized in the second half like it had been throughout the season.

Don't know what game ur talking about, but Silsbee and  Lincoln bumblebees played at the  Montagne in 1995 the biggest  crowd ever at Lamar  Montagne Center!

Kountzer, that game was at the Montage Center. I was there on the bench. There was close to 6000 people or more at the game. Starting for Silsbee was Wille Jones jr, Russell Whitmore, Donyel Allen, Damien Bush, and AL Henry. Lincoln started Xavier Lee, Stephen Jackson, Keith Harris, comoeux, and ????.

      BRAGG'S STAR WITNESS

      By baddog · Posted

      Cohen……a lying, backstabbing pos who does nothing but lie every time he opens his mouth. Let him utter words the prosecution wants to hear, and we can convict. Cohen told his ex advisor that he wanted to kill himself. What a worldly loss that would be. Let anyone on this board be put through the wringer with false charges and lies like Trump has had to endure, and you would be screaming at the top of your lungs how illegal all of this is.

      It was and remains perfectly timed and choregraphed Kangaroo Court, whatever Cohen just said or lied about.  Face it, under Soros installed Biden and Merrick Garland, the USA is now officially a Bananna Republic with a Goverment that weaponizes itself against and destroys its political rivals. Putin and Xi are SO proud!  Dang I miss Democracy.

      I haven’t been watching closely, but even the liberal sources even tell the story as “the defense really took apart Cohen’s testimony on Thursday.” It sounds like sloppy work from the prosecution to point out a specific call as being “the one,” when it was easily concluded that this particular call could not have occurred the way that Cohen (and the prosecution) claim it to have happened.    The bad news is that I doubt that it matters much-I suspect that most jurors minds were closed before testimony started.   I don’t see Trump leaving with anything less than a conviction based on the venue (NYC).

      Governor Abbott pardons Daniel Perry for murder during protest…

      By bullets13 · Posted

      Tough case all the way around.  The guy had a lot of online activity come out where he made racist statements and statements about killing BLM protesters and looters.  So when he then goes out and does it, it looks really bad.  I've seen a lot of videos where people have driven through protestors, defended themselves against them, etc., and didn't bat an eye.  This feels different, but that doesn't necessarily make it murder, either.  His account of the events that happened vs. the witness accounts were both very different, but I'd also expect both sides' accounts to be self-serving and inaccurate to fit their narrative.  Not really sure what to think on this one.

      @CardinalBacker   Wanted to get your thoughts on how Cohen did as Bragg's star witness..... My Take: The State spent two days acknowledging that Cohen lied all the time but now he has come clean,,,,,,,it took the defense (having same evidence state had), just a few hours to confirm Cohen lied to the current jury a couple days ago......  While I thought initially Trump would be found guilty due to venue, with best case a hung jury, there is now a pretty good chance he will be acquitted......
