They'll sweep 19-4A and 20-4A by the end of the week!!!!

[quote name="BrenhamFan" post="870822" timestamp="1286671205"] :o #3, #9, #10 & #15, are all from 17-4A...  [/quote][quote author=utfan06 link=topic=74030.msg872386#msg872386 date=1286827802] Yea Kingwood Park is really really good and I dont think they are even on the top 25?? [/quote] Wouldn't put much into this pole, other than the fact it's more of a popularity contest. I agree with most of 17-4A being on it. But, Brenham has already beat the #9 and #10 and has had two close matches with the #3. Brenham is far better than than 15th and PNG is not even close to that level of play!!!! K-PARKED..... PNG earlier in the season.... The sad fact is that the top 6 teams in 17-4a would give the top teams in 18-4A, 19-4A, & 20-4A a run for the district championship. Magnolia, Brenham, Stratford would win without question.

28 - 28 K Park/Willis 5 minutes left 4th quarter

K Park 28 - Willis 21  3 min left in 3rd quarter

KP 38 Huffman 15 beginning of the 4th

KPHS Volleyball Swept teams from Alabama, New Jersey, Mississippi, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Florida. To bring home 1st place trophie were it belongs in Texas!!!!!!

Couldn't agree with you more BrenhamFan. B-hill has lost twice to area 4A teams. Please

K Park 3 vs PNG 0  (25-15),(25-11),25-12)

Tri-match PNG/Westbrook/Kingwood Park Tuesday 08/17/10

KP over Silsbee in pool play. 25-12, 25-13..... I mean, Icould say it but will someone else do it for me!!!

Tarkington, for sure!!!

Anyone know a deer lease needing members between Houston & Beaumont area or maybe a land owner interested in leaseing some property?

Rubs have everything to do with the rut. It's not to just remove the felt off the antlers. It's a way of informing other bucks that, "HEY, I'M THE BIG DOG IN THE AREA". Better yet, put your trail cam on a rub line then see what you get. 

I'll take my Old Timer any day of the week that my Uncle gave me for Christmas a few years back. I grew up hunting with him and my dad and my job as a boy was standing there holding their knife while they were cleaning deer. I can clearly remember him having one and I always for some reason thought it was the biggest responsiblity to stand there holding his knife. Good Memories!!!

When I started this post, it was my intention to not down play the responsiblities of Game Wardens. I have the upmost respect for any and all law enforcement agencies. Any Game Warden in the state came walk into my camp and will be treated with respect I'll even goes as far as to offer them a cup of coffee or any food or cold beverage that I might have. I just feel as though I gotten a bad apple her recently and was wondering if anyone in the area has had an experience of this kind. Hunting is a recreation that my father taught me and I hope that I can teach to my children. I just believe that there is a different way of treating people than we were those two occasions all of my other encounters with Game Wardens have been good to date.

[/quote] The problem I have with volleyball is, when someone makes a mistake they clap hands,  laugh and think it is OK. It is not OK. They should be mad. I cannot watch a sport where mediocrity is condoned. Kids like it because there is no running involved. I agree, I too like to see a good volley but that does not happen very often. Sorry but I am basketball.  This could be a good topic Basketball vs Volleyball. [/quote]Bleed, believe you me any competive volleyball squad out there sees their fair share of running. My wife is a head volleyball coach and she can tell you right now hands down when it comes to conditioning a group of girls in the offseason, when the VB girls and the BB girls come together it is always the BB girls that are dragging behind. She also helps with the summer speed and conditioning program and all those big bad football boys, hate going through her station at the sand volleyball court it is by far the most difficult and her VB girls see it 3 times a week in the offseason for an hour. Those boys may only see it for 15 to 20 min.

I do respect their courage to walk into a situtation were you are greatly out number with people that have weapons.

You would think he might handle himself a little bit better. [/quote] Just like an other profession there are good ones and bad ones. Sounds like he's a bad one, in general Wardens are respectable and good guys, most are hunters too. As long as you are respectful usaully they lighten up but they never know what kind of people they are approaching. So if they are sharp or short at the onset it is to be expected. Like i said usually the lighten up. As far as trading jobs, not me!

Don't get me wrong I know there are long and often difficult hours and you have to deal with an occasional violation but for the most part it would be pretty neat.

[quote name="ranchhand 79" post="705102" timestamp="1258050904"] VB, where exactly are y'all at? We are close to Artesian Springs. [/quote]Old Fowler Hunting Club, we were up youth weekend and by the time we left the road leaving out had about a foot of water over it and I had a friend go up last weekend and saw that three of our camper got anywhere from 12 to 18 inches of water in them so i figured the water must have risen another 3 to 4 ft after we left. He said there were tracks all over the road and they saw deer driving in on the clear cuts around 2 pm. I was just wondering if the water had gotten that high and pushed the deer to high ground if they had started heading back into the bottoms yet? I guess tracks are a good sign. Maybe, with the confusion and the moon it will make for a better weekend. We will see!!

Can anyone out there explain the hiring process for game wardens, do they go threw mental evaluations???? If not, they need to!!! Two deer seasons ago, I took my oldest boy "12 years old" hunting for youth weekend along with my Dad and my 4 year daughter she was just there for the camping, with her bother, grandfather, and me. Anyway, on Sat mourning I go to pick up my son and dad at the stand with my little girl riding shotgun. When I pull up to the stand, and my dad and son walk out on the road here comes a game warden haulin butt around the corner pulls up to all of us and slams on the brakes, proceeds to jump out of his truck with his hand on pistol. Keep in mind I'm standing there holding my boys youth model 243 and no other weapons in the vehicle with a 4 year old little girl standing right next to me, my boy standing there nervous as can be, when the idiot starts questioning him, a 12 year old, and I don't mean 2 or 3 questions I mean like 20. Just flat out being rude. Then last year, same game warden different year, pulls up to our camp and starts questions everyone again because he had found remains of a deer just down the road from camp it's once again youth weekend and he swears up and down that the remains are at least a month old and is threatening everyone with federal charges for an animal that no one in our camp has shot. He even goes as far as to call a close friend of mine that I am on the lease with "PONYTAIL BOY" because he has long hair and it is in a ponytail. The only good part of the whole experience was the fact that his partner was standing there just shacking his head in disbelief that this idiot was acting like he was. My friend could really do much, but stand there and take it and his 14 year old boy could believe that this game warden was giving everyone @#$%. Finally this year it looks as though we have a new game warden in the area and he seems to be a decent man or he at least nows how to treat people, expecially when there are children around. I hunt in Newton county and I'm wondering if anyone has had these same problems??

[quote name="ranchhand 79" post="699453" timestamp="1257560998"] Last weekend they weren't rutting in Newton Co. Right now, they are trying to avoid water where we hunt. Have to miss opening morning of gun season, waiting for water to drop. Terrible luck. Looks like it will be OK Sunday morning though. [/quote]Ranch Hand, I'm on the Old Fowler Club and we are hunting in the bottoms any news about Newton about the deer activity would be great. I've been monitoring the Sabine River Authority daily and it looks as if the river is going back up.

LCM vs Magnolia, Ozen vs Brenham, Crosby vs Montgomery, & KP vs Waller. Good luck to all teams in 19 and 20-4A. Their gonna have to bring their A games to get past what might be one of the best VB districts in the state.

Where's Willis? [/quote]Just north of Conroe.

[quote name="highsky" post="697068" timestamp="1257366811"] ok MODERATORS...it is time to lock and/or delete this thread.  It is one thing to talk about a team and entirely another level when people start talking about a single person in a negative way.  The girls may read this thread and get upset. [/quote]I agree, not to mention this game was played a week ago. Don't these people have more important things to worry about, like who up next. The whole thread is stupid.

LCM wins in 4
