Some kids take a little longer to learn life lessons.  Prayerfully he will learn from this and not be one of those "who should have made it" walking the streets and realize 10+ years from now, what he missed.  Keep your faith and learn from this young man.

Hardin may not make the playoffs, this is true. So if you want to see this offense in motion, you should before the regular season ends.  They do struggle on defense.  But if they are scoring lots of TD's in games, so is the other team. I hope to see some better defense this week. 

The 8th grade quack was an attempt at sarcasim I believe.  LOL he is a Senior and you should come out and see that offense. Check out the passing and receiving leader boards. 

Hardin's top two recievers  M James  45 catches 723 yards    10 TD's D J Hall    39 catches  714 yards  12 TD's If you are a reciever at Hardin you have to be ready.  James is big and athletic, DJ is fast.  I have seen DJ got get a ball, that seemed uncatchable. Amazing catches. If you have not seen Hardin play it is worth it, to see this offense in motion. 

When TIFI Beaumont Bulls play Home game, Beaumont Area refs are used, no names, but these guys are great. They know the rules. The tell a kid after a flag what they did wrong, and they are there to help them learn. We even had some come to the end of year banquet last year to talk to our kids and parents. They are very involved.  We appreciate them. Dont be that parent that is a pot stirrer.  Parents on the side at practice, games etc downing coaches, players, board, etc and no one tells them they are wrong, they just continue to stir the pot till it boils over.

Awesome post ! TIFI leaque does not allow sound devices inside the gates at games. If found you will be asked to put it away or be escorted from the field.  And trust someone will tell on you.  Good rule in my book for this age group.

The are some pretty good freshman in the BISD schools this year. Had a good crop of them from various schools in Beaumont,  Alot went to WB and Central this year. Should be interesting. 

Hardin needs someone to kick extra points too!  PLus we need work on defense,  arm tackling not going toward to ball carrier, grabbing at players, just HIT them! , just drives me crazy, err crazier maybe. Hardins JV QB just got moved there last week and did a great job. One of the recievers catching the ball was the QB 2 weeks ago.  Lots of talent coming up. But we need defense work.

Didn't Kountze have a coupe of kids returning from last year 6'3 or 6'4 ish?  One from JV?

shakes my head, darn shame. What will it take to wake young athletes up. 

:o  OMG    Dove in a rumor,  say it isnt so.    LOL    Good to see da Dove,  I'm getting excited for basketball season, just around the corner. 

Reyes from WB Taylor from Hardin is alot of fun to watch.  Athletic, good arm.  I believe he was not a QB a couple of years ago. He does plays a lil defense when needed. Outside LB/  Good basketball player as well, he can dish the rock. 

Except for you.... ;D [/quote] LOL  I went by practice last week, you were busy coaching, heard everyone won this weekend. congrats

That SuperBowl was awesome.  Game ball brought in by parachute.  Chance to win I forget, was in $10,000.  All was well when the Bulls decided to leave for TIFI.  No hard feelings from R & M, it was just a better fit for the Bulls at that time.  Jay did not explain to the family's when he left, what all transpired, or maybe not to all of the family's.  All water under the bridge, and life moves on. 

You dont try out.  They have a sign up, just like all the other leagues. Normally in April. 

I was at the game.  I did see a few non calls, esp pass interference both ways,  I saw a TD we scored, I saw our reciever push off to make the catch, was glad they did not call it, but the trip down before, there was interference from Buna that was not called. what about the buna kid, that pulled Hardins kids helmet off and threw it,  they called personal foul,.  but why wasnt he tossed?  You think they should not have called that one?  I agree we need better tackling, not grabbing practice.  Hit somebody please.  Lots of dropped catches too.  Open receivers not getting the ball. Miles ran for his life last night.  I heard grades will be a factor for the JV also.

I have been with the Bulls since 04. It has always been 1st come, 1st served.  never try out,  We were never told why the Senior team could not play in 05, and why only them. They went and played up in jasper that year, and the rest played here.  We were told after that, they wanted the teams seperated by schools in the West end, could not get enough kids from 2-3 schools to form one team, the kids were from all over Beaumont. Having been Bulls for 2 - 3 years, it would not have been fair to tell them you cannot play this year, because your at the wrong school. So BUlls moved to TIFI. 

Buna did a great job running the ball. I have never seen offensive line substitutions as often and all night long, as Buna did.  Thats where the game was won, there O line, ran over Hardin, and the 2 headed back monsters had a field day.  Buna could not stop the catches by #10.  Refs made a few bad calls, in both favors.  I was impressed by the size of Buna's band, they are huge and sound good. The Hornet band has improved over the years, kudos to the drum line. The Hornet fans cheered on the boys, never giving up.  Big turnovers by Hardin really hurt as well.  Hardin needs to find a running game.  Saw big hits from both sides, with Buna having more.  I enjoyed the game, and the fans.  Great job Buna, good luck in District.  Keep your heads up Hornets, get ready for next week.  

Mark you have always done a great job in your leagues. The Bulls enjoyed playing for Lone Star, but made a decision to move to TIFI. They did not mind playing 7th graders, just getting them ready to play with the big boys in Middle School and High School. You have to play older kids then.  Good luck to you Sir.

Buna JV 36 Hardin JV  0

Buna JV  36 Hardin JV  0 >:(

TIFI Beaumont Bulls is not a all star select team.  They are kids from Beaumont, with a few from Cheek.  It is 1st come , 1st sign up, 1st 25 to sign up are in, reserved players from the previous year are guaranted a spot on the 1st sign up date. There are no tryouts, like you have in select.  I think other teams in this area would given the Bulls a good game.

I personally dont think it is a downfall, being my son played for the Bulls when he was in youth football.  But, there are parents out there who choose to not play for TIFI due to the traveling.

I don't think you can say one is better then another. They all serve their purpose for the family's in them.  They all have good athletes, because they all teach their kids about more then just football. I believe they all put the kids 1st.  One kid maybe a superstar in one league and not in another.  They all have plus and minus reasons to join, depending on if you talk to a happy parent or a unhappy one.  The biggest downfall for TIFI is the travel to Houston area for at least 5 games. The Bulls usually make it a all day thing, traveling together by teams, some even go up the night before. They also get to see other talent out there, they might come across in high school playoffs, instead of just local talent.  Lone star and STJFL are local and easier on the travel.  Just depends on what is best for you and yours.
