High Island Open

Don’t do it Aggie. Years ago I watched a game when W Sabine played H Island. WS was trailing by 3 points with time running out, WS running back broke into the clear and was running uncontested to the end zone but the mosquitos drug him down on the ten yard line. W S lost.

Living down here now I have gotten used to those things.

High Island mostly schedules day games when at home. Night games with no wind are unbearable.

How does High Island ever lose a home game?

I’ve heard in six man football, the scorekeeper is required to keep a working calculator.  😂👽😂

 

Never saw a game but I heard they’re very exciting.

I have seen a few over the last few years.

First 6 man broadcast I ever did was out of the bed of a pick up truck at Orange Community Christian.

Just got out of coaching six man after doing it for years. It's a lot of fun, and if your guys can't open field tackle, get ready for a basketball score!

 

I think High Island might have hired. Right before I left Dime Box a few weeks ago, I talked to the coach over there, so I'm pretty sure they have hired. Does OCC still play six man? They used to be in my TAPPS district back when I was at Brenham Christian.

Just looked it up on Google maps. Literally right on the edge of nothing. Looks like a great atmosphere for 6 man football. Gonna put it on my bucket list.

Bucket list? To each their own.. I guess.  My bucket list definitely doesn’t have Chester Football Field on it.  I’m leaning more towards skydiving or swimming with sharks.  But Chester could be fun, too.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
