Can we keep the shameless self promotion to Facebook?  

Not self promotion but it is promotion. I'm in the kid business and all of the SETX talent will need us all to promote them in every way possible. Trust me, we have been in this game for a long time and whether anyone wants to admit it or not there are big city politics involved in AAU and Circuit Ball. Our SETX Kids will need us all to help them get the opportunities they deserve. I want all of these kids to win and want nothing but positivity for all of them! I am not about many adults and their bull these days, but I love all of the kids and believe we have an obligation to them to make sure we get it right. I kind of thought that was why @AggiesAreWe made SETX Sports to begin with. Am I wrong?

Great post. This is why most of us do it

This message board was created for people to share scores, information, opinions.  I highly doubt anyone is receiving a scholarship from posts here, but I do appreciate your response. I need to go check the cats out.  When is the next home game?  Preferably against someone with a pulse?

Orangefield doesn’t have one team pre-district that is a cupcake. They are playing tough competition. You should probably check them out at their tournament they host in 2 weeks.
 

And if your comment is in regard to the quality of competition that Onalaska is then I would encourage you to watch them play as well at the Orangefield tournament. Historically I get it that Onalaska hasn’t been on that level but it’s a way different program now and that’s not me tooting my own horn as that’s all thanks to great kids.

My comment wasn't really aimed at anyone.  I just meant I wanted to see them play someone good.  However, now that I look, I see that none of Orangefield's opponents this year were playoff teams last year.  Maybe the new coach came in and wanted a schedule geared toward building confidence. 

As to Onalaska, I admittedly don't know much about them.  Several on this board have said that is a good team though.  Maybe I'll check yall out too.

I appreciate your comment and  I don't believe scholarships will be given out based on this message board either. However, I do believe that a lot of people in our communities as well as influential people in the sports world get on here to read about local talent, whether they comment or not. When the comments become argumentative and or destructive to how any of those kids with talent are viewed in the public, then we as adults have to step in and make sure all of these SETX kids are seen and given the opportunities they have worked so hard for and deserve.

Last year's District Superlatives is probably the best example of kids not being represented and awarded fairly because of backdoor deals being made by coaches trying to get their own kids recognized even if they were not the best in the District. I saw a lot of back and forth on this board about it last year, so I know that most folks saw the truth and not the results that came out. It happened, it's in the past and the ones who got shunned can use it to fuel their fire going forward. Hopefully you and the other readers agree, if not then that is why we are all entitled to our own opinions or pages like this wouldn't even be fun. As for us, we don't want  to step on anyone else's head to get where we are going, but at the same time we want what is rightfully ours too! 

I posted the schedule below. I wish we played some bigger teams as well. I even tried to run the kids in some AAU Tournaments with us this Summer to get them used to bigger, faster, stronger competition. We had 3 or 4 young men that were always there and they are the ones excelling now, not because of me but because their commitment level was always what it should have been, which is what it takes to be elite. Hard to keep school teams playing in the offseason, and even harder in small towns.

Hats off to HF & Nederland parents for being able to keep their kids together in the offseason! It will really make a difference for them this year!

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
