Government officials that have left HI residents hanging out to dry for many years.Some lifetime folks that reside in the area have been thru so much devastation,erosion of their highways/roads,commerce etc.Good lawd sell all them 50,000 dam campers/mob homes stored and paying storage on in La. alone & send a tad bit of it to the forgotten residents of High Island.Now the bassters want to close 1 of the few free fishing spots=Rollover Pass that sportsmen have supported w/commerce for over 40 yrs.I'm p'oed and my thoughts are w/kiddos of HI,my fav place to relax w/my grandkids >:( ??? :o :o :'(

What meeting were you at, and was it in HI?  Have talked to some parents, and they know nothing about this at all?  Can you clarify your info for us.

High Island did scrimmage Orange Community Christian last Saturday. If they were going to cancel all athletics, why even start practicing football and play a scrimmage?

It was announced at our football meeting Monday night. The officials scheduled for High Island football games this season were told that they had lost their Friday night games for those weeks that they were scheduled to go there. It was told to us that they were doing away with all the programs at the meeting but I can just go by what we were told. I put this on here to see if AAW could get some confirmation about what is going on.

if this is true, i really feel sorry for the kids.  Growing up and going to a smaller school, participating in extra curricular activities was a huge part of school.  Friday night football games, weekly basketball, volleyball, or baseball games, out of town basketball tourneys, and the list goes on.  Hopefully this is not true and the kids will still have access to extra curricular activities, sports or non sports.

I just had the opportunity to speak to Dr. D'Ann Vonderau, Superintendent of Schools for High Island ISD.  She was happy to proclaim that the athletics program is [b]not being shut down.[/b] She noted that the Lady Cardinals are currently involved in their regular volleyball season and that Coach Williamson and the football team are primed to take the field this Friday in their final scrimmage and thereafter for the 2012 season.

It is full steam ahead for Cardinal athletics this season!

Someone who can breath a sigh of relief is Coach Kirby over at Chester.  Not only does Chester have its district matchup with HI, they also have a non-district game with them as well as a game against the High Island JV.

Imagine 30% of your schedule going "POOF"?

This is Coach Williamson with High Island ISD.  We are not closing any athletic programs here at High Island.  We actually have added a JV schedule for this year in football.  Both girls and boys programs  are up in numbers as far as participation.  If you don't have the facts, call the school (409) 286-5317 or myself (409) 599-4802.  Rumors only hurt the kids and the community.

Thanks and God Bless,

      Go live in a third world country then get back to me about the word “poor”…..you ll have a different perspective.  Your right a kid shouldn’t suffer for parents decisions, but that’s the world we live in created by those who don’t teach responsibility as well as handicapping by giving handouts.  Cause and effect.   Now yes there are people who are hit with some tragic unforeseen circumstances who need help to get back on their feet but that’s different then a habitual irresponsible lifestyle  fema is a totally different animal.  And it’s actually  something I’ve never had to deal with…..so I can’t really speak on it but I do know it’s a govt agency and most govt agencies are poorly ran.  Natural disasters have been part of this earth for a long time….way before fema came along and people have managed. said kids get taught by said parents that the govt owes them for their circumstances instead of seeing for what it really is and the lesson that should actually be taken from such a life…..”I’m not going to be like my parent or parents….im going to look at others as examples …..my teachers, my coaches, any aunts or uncles, relatives etc etc that are successful…..I’m going to work hard and smart and make good decisions and what bad decisions I do make I’m going to learn from.” Suffering is a great teacher.  This earthly place is temporary and many will suffer even the righteous and even children. Life on earth is not fair….its not a new concept. The good ole race card.  I’m not surprised. I feel the same way no matter the color.  Whites are just as guilty as any other race.  It’s not a race issue it’s a culture issue.  You have allowed color to guide your thought process…..is that what you were taught. how bout you check out the income of many of those politicians you vote for who care so much about kids.  They go in as an every day working citizens then come out millionaires off of shady deals, kickbacks and taxpayers backs. They keep promising y’all false promises and you keep falling for it….bidens been doing it for over 40 years. i just wasted time on this reply because you are not hearing any of it……..you want handouts with no accountability. .sorry to the posters who wasted their time reading this…..it got off topic.

      Baseball bat time again. You mentioned two “mental” disorders. That tells me they are made up in someone’s mind. Allowing a male in women’s restrooms and letting them compete in women’s sports makes them feel better about themselves? All they amount to is males who can’t hack it in the real world.
