I imagine this is more prevelant in 3A and down but just wondering how many you have playing football at your school.


For Silsbee

6, 2 starters, 3 key reserves.

All 6 of these players are starters on the football field.

Is JJ one of them

At Caldwell, this year they have 4 kids (2 Seniors/2 Sophomores) who don't play football.  1 of those kids is their only All-District player, Andrew Smisek.  The other 6 kids play football...Varsity football...& it looks like they will be playing football for a long time this year.  Too bad for Coach Smisek.  I know he really wants to get going!

Are you saying that at East Chambers, if you want to play basketball or any other varsity sport, you HAVE to play football? Am I understanding you correctly?
[/quote]When my son was a sophmore we received a letter in the mail stating that to play other sports you had to play football...the fb numbers were down and they were trying to bring it up......neadless to say it took about an hour to iron that little wrinlkle out....I support  the fb program but that tatic didn't work....things are a lot better the last few years.

The "tactic" would also be illegal by the UIL. You cannot make playing a sport mandated or based on playing another sport. It is ILLEGAL to make it mandatory that playing a sport you have to play football. Now you can say the only ones in athletics are football kids, with everything else after school but not the other way.

when i was in High school if you didn't play football they didn't put you in athletics you were in P.E, because it was the same time as the athletic period, then once football season was over and basketball started they put you in athletics and the coaches said the reason why is because every coach, coached football and therefore they didn't have anyone free to watch the kids that didn't play football, but that being said when i was in high school our basketball team won 2 district titles and made a trip to the regional finals

We don't really have many guys who crossover between football and basketball at Madison. I believe we have two players who will be reserves on the basketball team currently playing football. One is our starting QB who goes 6'7" and the other is a 6'3" WR who starts as well. Other than that we don't have anyone else on the football field right now.

the rule now at ec is that every person in athletics have to play 2 sports which nearly 95% of those ppl play football as the 1st sport

      QB Controversy Brewing in Crosby

      By Cougar14.2 · Posted

      I will never understand why someone cares what decisions a family makes regarding their own child? Maybe Joe Burrow learns great life lessons from burning up all his eligibility sitting behind Justin Fields at Ohio State but I’m sure him and his family feel like they made the right decision by transferring to LSU, becoming the #1 pick and now being the highest paid QB in NFL history. Same for Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield and Jalen Hurts at their first stops.    I think it was more beneficial for Reggie Branch to transfer to Crosby and end up having an opportunity to play for a state title versus staying at GCM and learning life lessons while he loses and probably doesn’t go D1 because his team is a perennial loser. If Robinson throws for 2k yards this year it’s going to be a lot better for his recruitment purposes than sitting on the bench at BH, not to mention he’s going to get significant looks because of the kids he’s on the team with and the offers/commitments they’ve already made. He’s not being taught to run from competition, he’s being taught to gamble on himself just like all those other guys I mentioned did.

      Every Yuppie wants one.  Give me a V-8 with loud pipes, and they can have their electric vehicles.  Was working a major incident one day and we had a road blocked off.  Police vehicles with lights going and a kid pulls up in a Tesla.  He - let me stress that HE is sobbing uncontrollably because he is at 5% battery life and HAS to go down the road we have blocked to get to a charging station.  He pulled over and literally threw a temper tantrum because we would not let him through.

      Have you noticed that it's always the libs that bring up race?  For a long time now whenever a lib is losing an argument or have nothing else to say they bring up racism.  Or something silly like institutional racism.  LOL!
