Status of Games Next Week

For a lot of schools, it appears that they will be returning to school sometime next week so hopefully it is not as big a problem as it was for Harvey.

However, for some, it will be an issue such as East Chambers and Vidor, who got hit hard and it is an even bigger issue as district play starts for those schools next weekend.  I am sure there will be some DEC meetings and we should have some answers early in the week.

From what I have been told, EC will have school Monday and their game Friday vs. Woodville is a go.

Cool.  I wonder about Vidor though.  They may have to start district late and have the district seek a waiver of the 5 day rule.

One year after a hurricane, I think they had to start district late and play a game every 5 or 6 days to get back on track for playoffs. Do you remember when that was?

EC will play. Winnie was hit harder this time than when Harvey hit us. My house did not flood in Harvey, but it did this time. BTW, sad news to pass on, but the Texas Rice Festival is oficially CANCELLED. If anyone had already bought advance tickets, hold on to them, they will be honored next year. The TRF will return bigger and better than ever next year.

Yes. I posted that news down in Locker Room Forum.

    • Or a less lethal option would be to have law enforcement yell improper pronouns at them...they'd scatter like sheep. I still prefer your way, lol.
    • I ve seen this done in several other countries.  And in those countries it happens very lil because of the severity of the consequences.   I saw a video of other world leaders ask “why does America allow such destructiveness” when all the civil unrest was happening because a criminal/criminals were killed  by not following commands.     we have a great system in place but it’s been compromised and we could still learn from other countries.
    • I am out of VOTES, but I will give a BIG AMEN!!!!
    • You start opening fire and drop about 10 or 12 of these protesting morons it will break up pretty quick.    This ties in with killing the chicken killing dog.
    • This is an easy one. We have let grifter unqualified coaches infiltrate our children and convince them that they will be D1 athletes if they only focus on a single sport. We've got kids, with single digit ages, playing their sport year-round to "maximize exposure" despite the fact that most college coaches on the recruiting trail will value a multisport athlete. This translates to the school year and ends up with kids being football, basketball, baseball only kids. Track is pretty much the only one left that keeps kids playing other sports and that's primarily because football coaches demand their football kids be track athletes. I literally talked to a man last night, who just moved to Texas from Oklahoma who was telling me his kid played on two different football teams during the season last year. One for his school, one for his select league. During the week the kid was a RB for his school, and on the weekends, he was a QB for his select team. This would equal 7 days a week of full contact football for a 6th grader......6th grader. Once that ends, rolls straight into 7 on 7 for the spring and back to football in the summer. All this for a kid, who seems to be a good athlete, but probably has a ceiling of D2 at best, if he doesn't burn out before that. Parents are silly and think they can develop their kids into being the next Quinn Ewers, but they completely miss the biggest factor in creating that type of athlete.....genetics. Genetics are undefeated. Always have been, always will be. Play sports because you love to compete then compete in everything you do. Quit giving bullsheet rings to "state champions" every single weekend all over the US and get back to valuing team championships won at the community level to build the continuity when they are young. This is the only way to reestablish the pride once felt by every kid in every town across Texas when they got to put on a uniform with their school colors. Otherwise, we can kiss the magic of high school sports goodbye.
