High Island has forfeited this week’s game against Deweyville due to COVID-19. Pirates awarded a 21-0 win. Deweyville (7-2, 5-0) heads to the playoffs as top seed out of 12-2A-DII. First outright district title since 1985. Cardinals season ends at (1-8, 1-4).

I know you’ve probably stated it before (or someone has), but how do they arrive at 21 points?

Ridiculous, they should play the game if they have 11. Hate it for those seniors and for the team going to the playoffs. Tough to take a week off right before the playoffs. Kills your rhythm. 

This may be one of the dumbest comments ever.  If they have 11 play the game, yeah right.  Who in their right mind would try to play a varsity football game with just 11 kids.  Plus if they cancelled an Area Round volleyball game because of covid, then it must be serious.  I know those kids in HI, would strap it up no matter what, in the face of all odds, but there are things that are beyond their control.

Not only would they play, but Matt Miracle, who I know not to be a big believer in shutting down for covid, would have them out there.

It makes you wonder if the decision not to play these games this is not coming out of the coaches' offices, but rather the administration buildings.

They would not play the Dale earlier this year. Refused. Sabine Pass played without power that week. Evadale even tried to move the game to HI, changing their homecoming, just to get the game in. But they wouldn't do it. So don't tell us "would strap it up no matter what".

This is probably what is happening.

I understand that High Island also forfeited their area round volleyball game so their forfeiture to Deweyville looks to truly have been due to an ongoing covid problem.

Perhaps the cancellations were due to actual active cases or at least a positive test.  If there happens to be siblings (sister volleyball player / brother football player) then I'm pretty certain the rules say they must quarantine being in the same household.  Or.. if a positive test in either locker room the whole team would quarantine per UIL/TEA mandate.  People's feelings on the seriousness of the virus are irrelevant.  The state hasn't lifted the regulations.. so.. Out of anyone's hands.

You'd think so, but it's my understanding that every district is doing it differently. If so, it's up HI on who is quarantined (for those kids who aren't positive).

    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success. 
    • Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
