West Brook pair confident of Texas team

Chavis and Coleman are certain that their team won't disappoint fans.

The former West Brook High School football standouts will suit up for the same team one last time today before they head off to college.

Chavis and Coleman were selected to play in the fifth Bayou Bowl, which is scheduled for 8 p.m. today at Baytown's Stallworth Stadium.

"We are going to definitely win the game," Chavis said. "We have some of the greatest football players in the area on this team, and we are really playing well together."

The game pits all-star high school players from Texas against all-star players from Louisiana.

"It's not very often that you get a chance to represent your state," Coleman said. "We have a good team, and I am really looking forward to playing in the game. I think we will represent our state well."

For the last two years, Louisiana has come away with victories. Louisiana beat Texas 7-3 in 2005 and 10-7 in 2006. Texas won 32-29 in 2003 and 17-15 the following year.

"Our goal is to win anyway we can," Chavis said. "Everybody on the team is excited about playing, and I am going to do whatever I can to help my team win."

The players from the Texas squad have participated in two-a-day practices since Tuesday to prepare for the game.

"It's been pretty hot in practice but that hasn't really bothered us," said Coleman, who signed with the University of Iowa. "All of the players are used to the heat because of football practice. It sort of feels like we are in the beginning part of the football season. Most of the players on the team hadn't played in a while so we were all trying to regain our focus and prepare for the game."

When players had down time in practice, most of the team took time out to get to know one another.

Chavis, who signed with Texas A&M, establish friendships with other Aggie signees in practice.

"I've gotten to know five other players that are going to A&M," Chavis said. "I already knew some players on the team already, but I think meeting new recruits is an advantage to me. I think I will feel a little bit more comfortable when practice starts at A&M because I will already know some of the freshman on the team."

Chavis, a defensive back/linebacker, and Coleman, a linebacker/defensive end, helped lead the Bruins to a share of the District 21-5A title this season. It was the first championship for West Brook since 1994. The Bruins made their second consecutive appearance in the third round of the playoffs.

"We both want to play to the best of our ability," said Coleman. "I definitely want to showcase my talent in the game and I am pretty sure Billy wants to as well. Our goal is to represent Southeast Texas and the state well in the game."

i will definitely be there. got the fever now. just around the corner. will be wearing my dayton shirt.  ;D

Me too. I went and helped serve food to the players last night at the fan fest. Seems like an excellent bunch of boys. It is going to be an excellent game.

There will be a battle of the bands at half time. Should be good, I heard one of the bands was Kashmere.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
