[quote name="starfish84" post="852561" timestamp="1285037967"] A true fan proudly supports his or her team regardless of the outcome. It is right to show appreciation for all of the hard work these young kids give for our entertainment. This fact is even more important in light of the events surrounding the tragic death of WOS quarterback Reggie Garrett. So yes, uknowit, I am going to cheer for my Hardin Hornets even louder this week than I ever have. From here on out, they need to know that we believe that what they do on and off the field is important. I don't think you even know who our kids are or what they stand for, but if you did, you'd love them too. This week, the significance of every high school football game is symbolized in something far beyond what any scoreboard can measure. The legacy of Reggie Garrett is a lesson for all of us, young and old alike. [/quote] Agreed Starfish.  you stand by your team win or lose.  hardin should have done better last year, key injuries hurt, key players did not play to their potential, it happens.  Hardin is better then i thought they woud be this year, still have some turnovers to overcome, and their are in one of the toughest districts in the state this year.  Good luck to the Hornets, no matter if we place in district or not. 

Ditto  Anafanatic.  I believe Anahuac wins District

My pleasure. It is always a source of inspiration to me. 

[quote name="Betrayed" post="850167" timestamp="1284815956"] Get your facts straight (Sly Guy). No one wins in a scrimmage!! How about this fact, that game yall won last Saturday was against the youngest PNG team had to offer. We will see how good those Bmt pups really are today. They're up against maybe the best team in the Flag Division. If someone can, Please keep me posted! Bmt Flag, since when did they become relevant? [/quote] Last year Bmt struggled, but they are building, and haven't given up. The older teams are struggling, but the flag is not. 

[url=[Hidden Content] Those I Love and Those Who Love Me[/url] This is a link to a beautiful poem that was once given to me. I thought it might help some of us here.  My prayers go out to all who have been touched by Reggie Garret. 

Hope Lil Reyes is ok, and gets well soon. 

From the Hardin Hornet family. Our prayers are with this young man's family, friends, and WOS. 

Kelly up early 6-0  Nick Barber TD,  missed the PAT

Thank you for your prayers. Heard he is ok, just a stinger. 

Jordan the PG is at Silsbee now

I remember Alan Filer, he as in my sisters class,  outstanding. 

I heard Bmt flag did win over Ktz in scrimmage, not sure about the running over part.  Different Flag team then last year, some of the others moved up, new players etc.  Bulldogs are still in the learning and growing department, but they are improving. Keep up the good work. 

I am a mom and I yell.  My son knows he will get yelled at, some coaches are just yellers, some yell with reason. he also knows, I'll say good job when its appropritae and what the ?/?// were you thinking when it isn't.  As mom I am also there when he needs me to be just mom.   Parents can get in the way if that coach/AD etc allows it to be a problem. Most of the time it is not a problem, and there is always a parent that has something to say to the caoch about playing time.

It was explained to me about 2 years ago, that 8th grade game is to start at a specific time,  as an example I'll use 530pm.  One game the bus driver took a wrong turn, did not know how to get to the old TJ Stadium, players on bus has to get the driver there, they were late for start of game.  7th grade game started and then ended at 5:20,  they played about 1.5 quarters. School night, they don't want middle school kids out late on school nights.  Luckily, my son's team did not have A&B then.  You will not change the system overnight.  At this school, every kid on the team played, most kids got a few plays in. He lost alot of oppurtunity to for knowledge in that year. Luckily he had outside oppurtunitys.  He learned even if you only get 3 plays,  do what you can on the plays you are in there for, make a tackle, catch the ball, create a turnover, positive things, get noticed.  Thank goodness he is in high school now. 

I like Anahuac, Newton and a toss up for 3rd place. I think it will come down to the last game to see who gets out for playoffs. 

Hey Sgt,    Congrats on the win this Sat for your Bulls.  I see it was a clean sweep.  I worked all night and slept all day, missed the games.  Continued success. 

update?

She's been signing for him all through middle school as well. You should see her during basketball season.  Great job running the floor. 

It was Hardins 9th and JV combined also. Good game,  Hardin recovered 4 or 5 fumbles from Liberty and did not capitalize on them though. 

How did the Bulls do in the scrimmage over the weekend?  I'm gonna have to get updates when I can't get to the games.  LOL 

I am a very proud BULL nation rep.  I was able to watch the West Brook Freshman scrimmage Friday, and got to see several ex Bulls out there representing.  I did not get to stay for the JV or Varsity, prior commitment.  It was great to see these boys as they have developed, and see their parents all sitting together.  Great job fellas. 

I helped with a local football organization for the last 8-9 years as a team mom, coach, administrator.  Without moms and dads there are very few coaches out there.  I believe we had 4 in the last 8 years who did not have a kid on the team.  Parents who coach their kids are 90% of the time harder on their kid then anyone else, because they don't want anyone thinking they are getting over.  When there is a perceived problem with preferential treatment, the administration of the league should step in to investigate. 

Hardin at Kelly was a good scrimmage.  Kelly looks huge for Private school, really athletic,  #2 #15 and #22 are impressive.  Hardin looked better then I anticipated.  Each varsity squad scored x 2.    Hardin's JV scored twice, I don't remember Kelly's JV scoring.  Very HOT out there today.  Great field.  Good luck to both teams this year. 

A few days ago, I watched an old VCR tape from 1992, pre season talking to Dan Hooks and Barbay about WOS and Newton. Other teams there as well. Great footage.  Two great programs and coaches.
