I know that racial bias rears its ugly head in every aspect of life...I just asked because the only thing that I have heard about the refs regarding how they called the rest of the game was that they didn't call a tight first half.  I would think that if he was calling racial calls then he would have done it more than the last play of regulation. 

To be honest I thought both ref's did a good job until the tech. Navasota led through out most of the game. He did not need to make a call or not make a call. It was a pretty clean ball game. It was the way he called the tech. If play was commencing on the court then yes he had a right to call the tech. That was not the case. The ball had not be made ready to play. The Navasota kids walked off the court because they thought the game was over. He knew what he was doing. He warned our coach which he had to then  gave us a tech with out letting the coach calm the girls down. I am sorry but that was premeditated. Plain and simple. I am done talking about this.

Welllllllllllll...I'll input this...the little girl who made the last 3 shots for OF, PERSONALLY told me herself, that the ref that called the T on OF said he didn't like the call the other ref made that put OF up by 1 and that he laughed when he called the T on OF.  If that isn't retaliation, I don't know what is.

BTW, we've switched topics again AND I've decided to host a dinner party and have Bobcat and Stang as guests of honor.

I think I was the first one who commented on bobcat4life and all I said was names did not need to be put out there.  Very simple.  I have never questioned the good that he does for all the kids reading these endless threads it seams he does alot of good for our youth.  Notice I said our youth.  Thank you because hopefully the children will return it on day.  The only thing I disagreed with was using a name.  The child or the child's family may know where the help came from and I am sure the family was grateful.  But what about other kids who read this thread.  The point I was trying to make is sometimes kids can be cruel.

Well GE, after you posted that to be honest with you I wasn't a 100% sure that is who it was so that is why I called just so I could clarify if I was wrong.  I know it was 2 girls from Silsbee who went and played.  If I am wrong, I will be the first to admit it, because the point is still the same, I am not a person who helps OF kids only.  I will say this, I watched Ms. Green play last year against my daughter.  She is a great player and by everything I have ever heard or seen she is just as good of a person.  No matter where anyone stands, (or lives) she is the type of kid that makes your community proud.  I want to be clear that I never, ever one time meant to be disparaging towards ANY player. I thought I was clear on it earlier.  And Stang.... oh Stang..... I have coached numerous kids from WOS.... but I understand there is a surgery for chips to be removed from your shoulder.....I'll get the number for you...

I'm glad you clarified that. She is a great kid.

    • We'll see. I don't trust us. 
    • Starting pitching has been shaky the last few weeks due to some injuries outside of Hagen Smith.  He goes tomorrow, so y’all should be fine 
    • Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind? 
    • MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
