Way more kids died from the Flu this past season than the Covid-19, and way more adults have died from Covid-19 in the ages 65 and above and with underlying conditions for the most part.  Now the vast

If there's one thing this has taught us, we can survive without sports.  We can survive without movies and concerts.    Isn't it crazy that we idolize, follow, and imitate athletes and celebritie

Can’t say I agree with that either. If someone who doesn’t want to be there and otherwise would have chose home schooling gets sick the whole thing is going to blow up badly. At least with our situati

As for scrimmages, just found out that Silsbee will only be playing one scrimmage. Aug. 20 vs. Brownsboro in Nacogdoches.

Right now, WO-S also has only 1 scrimmage and are still looking for a Week 1 game.

I thought you could only do 1 scrimmage now because of the new schedule?

Because 4A and down is starting on time, I see no reason why they could not play two scrimmages.

I'm not sure NetCat isn't right.  I, like you, had assumed that as they were starting on time that there would be 2 scrimmages.  But look at the UIL calendar:

WO-S was supposed to scrimmage PN-G that same week and I know that WO-S coaches have been online seeking a scrimmage to replace it.  I have a feeling that a lot of coaches don't realize what we just realized.

Pretty sure I can speak for you but I am already tired of this.

I'm confused all the schools in Houston are not 5 and 6a the 4 a and the rest of the schools in the lower classification, if the rest of the districts outside of Houston can proceed in August where does that leave those in Houston. Or am  I wtong it's just 5 and 6a 

Just one district in Houston ISD is 4A.

With the Harris county new order, they will only play district games, no non district games. They will be able to play playoffs (only thing you are worried about) with all the other 4A teams.

For the UIL to accommodate the HISD 4A teams, they would had to have delayed the start of practice......not games, but PRACTICE (Allen Iverson would be proud) until October 19th.  Currently, that is the EARLIEST that HISD are allowing any of its schools to start with extracurriculars.  Even with a shortened 3 week period before the next game, that would mean the first game would be on Nov. 13 which, by the way, is the first week of bi-district for 4A-1A teams.

I have contacted Coach Mac to see what the effect but these games could be lost:

Aug. 28 - at Liberty

Sept. 4 - at Needville

Sept. 11 - at Bridge City

Sept. 18 - at Navasota

Sept. 25 - La Marque

      Will Anahuac lose a district game ?

      It was no defence that hurt Rusk. Barrier’s stats were good.

      He actually had a pretty solid year for a sophomore starting in that district. I can assure you, it hasn't hurt his recruiting at all and that will only improve with the move back to the Wack.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      By Bulldogs92 · Posted

      If Crumedy eventually has bigger aspirations than being in Jasper, every aspect of the program will be looked at when someone interviews him for any job. He knows that. The mindset needs to be that any time someone wears a Jasper uniform, that they're doing everything they possibly can to win. It matters.

      Trump Running in 2024

      By LumRaiderFan · Posted

      This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up It's a poll but I could definitely see this as realistic.   From the article: Catholics in the United States have swung dramatically against President Biden in recent years, now boasting a significant statistical break towards his GOP challenger. Pew Research released on Apr. 30 a report exploring support for presidential candidates sorted by religious affiliation. The poll found that 55% of Catholics support or lean towards supporting former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head against Biden. Conversely, only 45% of Catholics support Biden in the same one-on-one pairing. The 12% margin of support in favor of Trump marks a significant shift from 2020, when he held an extremely narrow lead — 50% to 49%. Biden currently leads among Hispanic Catholics with a narrow 49%-47% split, but the close contest marks a major shift rightward for the demographic. In 2020, a similar poll from Pew Research found Hispanic Catholics preferred Biden to Trump with a staggering 67%-26% split.

      You said a lot there. Truthfully, that is the root of the issue. Who cares what a kid thinks about how coaches are running a program? Kids play, coaches coach. For some reason, parents have this backward in a lot of places and its wreaking havoc.
