Any players who left the dugout or bench area should all be ejected except for those playing in the field at the time. Umpire's job is to uphold the rules and they didn't do it. Would you be okay with a judge doing the same?

I understand that several coaches never received the nomination form. Harris should definitely be in this game.

So I'm hearing that Silsbee relay team just had an altercation at the medal podium at the regional track meet???

This is a culture issue. The culture in our society and the culture within these programs are major problems. It is not okay for Silsbee and LCM players to engage in a brawl at a high school basketball game. That was a common scuffle between two athletes that spiraled into much, much more. The kids should know better, but the coaches of both those teams are responsible for their players' actions. How do coaches respond when a player gets in a scuffle, curses, receives a tech? If these actions that are unacceptable continue, then the answer is that the coach's response is not harsh enough. Lessons need to be learned, but first they have to be taught in some cases. I am not calling out Coach Sigler or the LCM coach...or maybe I'm calling out everyone. This stuff has no place in sports, similar to the event at Crystal Beach having no place in our society. People need to do what is right and need to be held accountable when they don't. With all that being said, I would expect that the UIL hearing probably sent the correct message to at least these two programs.

Who will get these jobs?

Not to gloat, but I am anyway! I called that HJ-Huffman district! But since this board is dead, can we maybe get some predictions on district finishes next year? I've got Cleveland, HJ, and then Huffman. I've got PA, Central, Nederland, Ozen. And I'll go way out on a limb and take Silsbee. 3A I'll go Buna, EC, Kountze. Anybody else?

And Jasper and West Orange and Bridge City and pretty much everyone else you play since Silsbee has an issue with all of them. Bad Santa can't even celebrate a state title classy. Congrats to all the other Silsbee fans and players.

Boys...got a nephew that needs to see where he fits in. And some extra practice and game time wouldn't hurt either.

What are some local AAU/Select teams in the area?

For a guy who is as learned as you are and was also not at or involved in this incident, you have a LOT to say. Have you seen the full video of the altercation?

I've seen the video. The first blow in this entire ordeal was Jordyn Adams' open hand to the LCM kids face. It's clear to see in the entire video that the Silsbee people want so badly to be shown. Crystal clear. I hope it's posted to so people will be honest about what happened. With that said, THEY ARE ALL IN THE WRONG! Nobody had to throw a punch and they all chose to do so. Silsbee is not an entire town of horrible people and neither is Little Cypress. Both are far from it. Several children, one in particular, made bad decisions. Now they themselves, their teams, and their fans will suffer the consequences of those poor choices. That is the real world and it's time for all involved to accept it and move on.

There was a situation with WOS, then Bridge City, and now LCM. Same kid, same actions. When is somebody going to take real disciplinary action? What lessons are being taught by letting this go?

LCM by a LOT...

They are not going to hire another Saveat as AD in Beaumont so this hyphothetical is not really an issue.

I like the lineup Joe started and I liked that he played them most of the time. He still subbed five at time, but the ones had two runs in each quarter. That lineup with three shooters out there is hard to handle. I went to this one because usually LCM handles pressure well, but they couldn't handle this machine. What makes it more impressive is that I don't think LCM really even quit. Silsbee really is that good. I'm a believer!
