Why is Colmesneil playing a JV team, even if it is a 3A JV team? It's a no win situation for Colmesneil. They beat the JV team (which I see they did) and people will say, "they should beat them because it's their Varsity playing a JV team." If they had lost, it would've been, "you guys just lost to a JV team." I'm going to guess it was the only opponent they could find. But, in my opinion it just is never a good idea to have your Varsity team (no matter what classification) play a JV team (also no matter what classification).

I agree, but that coach has done it before. He lost to Lumberton's JV a couple of years ago. Guess he didn't learn his lesson.

Playing time.  The only 2A varsity team in the area that I know that is open this week is Sabine Pass, who canceled on Colmesneil last week before Laura became a threat.

It was kind of like Vidor scrimmaging Hemphill this week.  As with Mathews in that case, I am sure that this wasn't Day's first choice.  However, the prospect of not playing at all was not a real good choice, either.

I agree that it is important to get that game time experience. And it is nice to play someone other than yourselves as you do in practice.

 

Now Sabine Pass is going to keep getting a bad rep in my opinion. I noticed you bolded the word before, so I wonder what their reason was for canceling? Was it still Hurricane Laura? But,  I don't know why anyone would schedule their football team after what they did a couple of seasons ago, when they canceled their season mid-season and then backed out of their district for the following year and left all those teams scrambling to try and find a replacement game.

No, SP canceled what was supposed to be Colmesneil's Week 2 game back on August 22nd which Laura had not even entered the Gulf yet and was still slated to hit Florida.

      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.

      I hear you but I don't think this is going to ding her political career as much as some think, especially in SD.
