Hussey would be a likely candidate but remember, this is the Willie Ray Smith awards.  If you are not from Beaumont or Port Arthur your chances dwindle quickly.  Usually when you see a kid from outside the city limits win it's because their stats are so outrageous they can't be denied.  This is why several of the area schools have stopped nominating their players or attending.

From what I have personally seen, you could give both awards to Tramain Thomas. He is the real

deal, he can take it to the "House " on offense and really bring the "Lumber" on defense. Just my

opinion. I will make an early prediction for next year, HF's Cameron Burrell. He is already making an

impact as a Junior, I would hope that would not change next year.

Dont take this offensive, but it would be real hard for a kid from HF to win it. I agree with you though, he impressed me against us. Good luck to HF MAKE THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!

No offense taken. I guess you are right, small school players do not get that many "HeadLines". We

are lucky just to get our stats mentioned

In fact, I believe the last "small" school to get one was Orangefield in '99. My good friend Beaux Daville got the offensive. You know they hated that, but he was nasty, you couldnt overlook him. It would have proved their bias. I think he still holds some 3A records.

Tramian Thomas should be considered for both sides of the ball no doubt.

He has only played 1 full game on offense which hurts his "stats", but those who know understand he is a special player.

Defensively he is outstanding as well.  I would put him up for Defensive Player of the Year in a heartbeat.

I guess you mean smaller than the average 3A, right? WO-S has (as you know) won it each of the last two years - Beasley for the offense in 05 and Earl Thomas last year for defense.

Yes, I meant "mid-majors" in 3A. Not saying anything negative here, but your Jasper's, Silsbee's, or your WOS's arent really considered 3A. Atleast not statisticaly if you know what I mean. Example: Oklahoma would be a normal D1 team while Hawaii is D1 and doesnt get the same recognition. ;)

    • No worries. My thing is this. Trump was badly flawed. We knew it going into 2016. As an incumbent, there really wasn’t much of a chance to nominate a different candidate in 2020. But after all that happened during Trump’s term, the election loss and fiasco that followed, and everything else that he’s been a part of since… we should have chosen a different nominee in 2024. That’s been my point all along, but that’s not what we did. His followers are very vocal and infect all levels of the Republican Party leadership-especially in local counties and precincts. Enough people decided that Trump is the only person who should be considered to be the eventual R candidate that he cruised to the nomination in spite of everything, purely based on the cult of personality, IMO.  All of the signs were there. Trump is in a dead heat with Biden and has been all along, while every other potential R candidate enjoyed double digit leads over Biden. Literally all we had to do is pick someone over Trump and they’d cruise to a win over Biden-but we’d rather lose with Trump than win with someone else.    Names like Gary Hart and John Edwards come to mind. Those guys were Dems with a small fraction of Trump’s baggage, but the party still dumped them and moved on… I can’t understand why the Rs have refused to self-police and choose someone with decency… who would also be able to win the popular vote. We (the Rs) should have made DJT an old memory… but force the Ds and independents to do it for us. 
    • Trump literally ran on locking up hillary... ppl seem to 4get that
    • Currently in a monsoon raining badly here in Lufkin game will start late 
    • I read your posts and agree on some things and disagree with some.  I guess my one question is (in your opinion) who should we vote for?  Third party candidates do not get elected.  Kennedy is only going to dilute votes which will benefit Democrats.  Write-in votes do not win elections and I’m not even sure they are counted in a presidential election.  Many people get on and express views and tell us what is wrong with X, but never give the answer for Y.  I am extremely sarcastic and passive-aggressive, but genuinely hope this post doesn’t come across that way.  Trump has my vote until someone persuades me otherwise (and I’m a Never Biden).  Had another R been nominated they would have had my vote.
