Much has been said about High Island and Sabine Pass coming back from Ike to make a go of it after Hurricane Ike, but I would like to expand the scope of the post Ike football and volleyball to every team that had to stop and start (Remember Gustav) and stop and restart this season again after Ike.

I believe that school officials and coaches all across SETX did a great job keeping athletes from football and volleyball focused and refocused on the task at hand. With or without the hurricane some teams would make the playoffs others would not. But I believe that the attitudes shown by the teams most heavily impacted and the good will shown by those who were not hit as hard is something the area should be very proud of.

I wish success to all the teams still in the playoffs, I personally hope that at least a couple of state titles come this way by the end of the season. May many deserving athletes get a shot at moving up to the next level and that those who received injuries during the course of the season that they recover quickly and can continue to pursue competitive athletics in the future.

I do think that again HI, SP and Bridge City are to be congratulated for rising above the situation to carry on. I also know that several high schools did some great things to assist these school and people from the hardest hit areas. Schools like Colmesneil, Chester, Vidor, PNG, Nederland and Evadale. I know there were others and I hope some of you post things that other schools did to respond to the needs that are still evident in so many areas.

I think this is a great place to live and the attitudes of caring for one another are the best. Please continue to seek out ways that assistance can still be given and know this. We wear different colors to games with different mascots on our hats, but we are Southeast Texas and we take care of our own!

      Financial advice from kamala harris

      This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up From the article: “As a parent, then as a homeowner, if you have some equity in your home, then you can say to your child, you know, ‘don’t take out the loan,’” she said. “‘I’ll take out some of the equity to help you pay for tuition so that you don’t graduate with extraordinary student loan debt, and so that when you graduate, you can do your dream job.’” Essentially, Harris suggested that parents give their kids a leg up in the world by being the ones to take out a loan instead. Except theirs would have much higher stakes than just needing to be paid back — it could mean losing their home. 🤦‍♂️

      It has been frustrating seeing the lack of coverage from virtually EVERY media outlet.  We (Chester) are in the SE Texas coverage area.  There are no radio broadcast from our area, and Ch 12 is the only one that has even mentioned it.   I know I could have gotten donations to cover a SETX Sports broadcast.  Oh well, water under the bridge - we aren’t as big as Silsbee, WO-S or PN-G.
