[quote name="24 over par" post="929085" timestamp="1291872241"] he isnt making anyone cut their hair they dont have to play and they knew the rules before they started playing [/quote]You basically reinterated what you said.  He's making them cut their hair to fit 'someone's' image...  Because they want to send the right message... What message is that?  ::) ::)

[quote name="SFAJACK02" post="929084" timestamp="1291871559"] [quote author=east texas bb link=topic=77234.msg929077#msg929077 date=1291870061] Read the article.  Seems like coach Travis is doing exactly as he should.  He is creating a team concept.  Parents think it is unreasonable.  Well then dont play basketball.  And I dont know why they want to try to make it a racial issue.  The majority of Silsbee's team is black, so in all fairness I think white parents could say their kids are not getting to play because they are white.  Ridiculous statement?  Yes it is.  Both ways.  I guarantee you that if a white kid had long hair he would have to get it cut too.  One women brought up the fact that it is a heritage issue.  Well, it may be, but with Travis, TEAM trumps the heritage issue and since he is the coach you either play for him and get your hair cut, or dont play and keep your hair the way you want.  I dont see anything racial at all about the article.  I dont even know if the coach is black or white.  But, regardless, it is HIS team for this year and he made the rules.  Pretty simple.  If you like your hair better than basketball you dont need to play anyway. [/quote] Why do people still have human kids? We are all going to be Robots in the future. Didnt affect anything in the past times, why now? They are winning so why piss the kids off and all of them quite. What will he do then?  Is anyone getting in trouble? Coaches can take stuff too far. Williams is just gonna piss alot of people off!!! [/quote]My point exactly... Team is doing great and have been for a few years now. Now all of a sudden, it's a problem.  Politics, I tell ya...

[/quote] If it was coming from powers up above, why are the football players allowed these haircuts? ::) It's Coach Williams' decision. [/quote]Just make the kids wear short shorts and long knee high socks while their at it... Again, I don't see anything wrong if a kid keeps it neat looking.  These kids roll models are NBA players, which they hope to be one day...  These players wear their hair however and produce, work as a team to win and all the other things you are taught as an athlete... And by the way, I know some things about the iner workings up there...  This is only confirming what I've been hearing for years... But hey, rules are rules, right?  Ridiculous, IMO...

Set ground rules on kids that do everything they are asked to do and they can't wear an unextreme hair style...  ::) ::)  Sounds like powers from above...

The link is above from the Beaumont Enterprise...

What kind of message do those hair styles send as said in the article?

It sounds good what you guys are saying but my question never was answered..

[/quote] Don't know but from what I seen last night he could play in the post on varsity. [/quote]How tall is Rob Mitchell?  A program from this year in football had him listed at 6'3"...  but seeing him, he appeared to be more like 6'1"

I mean, they already run all those sprints.  They perfect these plays just like you want.  They don't talk back.  They listen.  They wear their shirt and ties on game day.  Shirt tucked in.  Puts butts in your gym.  The least you can do is let these kids be kids.  Kids have fads... It was like that when we were in school.  Let these kids have it.  Instead of being on some kind of crazy power trip... I still want to know what kind of 'message' these hair styles send...  ::)

Make sure the hair is presentable.  I would like to know what bad message it sends...  let the kids keep the flat top...  Dred locks...  or afro's or braids if they want.  It have to be kept and neat.  Those kids could be well manored.  don't matter what kind of hair style you have.  Let these kids be teenagers.  Your teenagers once in a lifetime.  I think some of the higher ups in Silsbee need to quit being stiff necks and tight behinds...  Goodness gracious!  [IMG][Hidden Content]]

[/quote] This game made no sense. Central will be in trouble when district comes. They will be good defensively but they only have 3 plays on offense and most of the time they just free lancing until someone has a open shot or until they get tired of passing the ball. I'm kind of worried about them. It's a shame to say but they look like a rec ball team with uniforms. Hopefully things change before district. [/quote]I don't think you really need to run plays against an extremely inferior team like Legacy.  Also, there are some games left before  district before they iron the kinks out.  This may be a team that hang their hat on defense resulting in easy transition buckets...

And he's a Freshmen?

I've seen his little Brother before... But if he is anythin like Robert, I say put him on defense and let him play safety..  Now, if he have good hands, let him play WR.    As I'm sure he is used to catching those lazer passes that big brother throws...

[quote name="Big Ford" post="928304" timestamp="1291766113"] TO by Legacy with 4:50 in the 3rd.  Central 69-11.  Robert Mitchell with 2 big dunks. [/quote]Ok, Mitchell plays bal I see...  Good deal..

Is this a shocker?

[quote name="CATMAN" post="928368" timestamp="1291772581"] [quote author=Big Ford link=topic=77173.msg928351#msg928351 date=1291771210] Westend, that's a good question seriously.  This game will not make Central any better for district.  It will actually help Legacy once they get into their district play but I see nothing but false confidence coming out of this one for Central.  Too many other schools they could have played to get better than to pick on the smallest high school in BMT.  Just another reason why they will continue to loose to Ozen and WB. [/quote] And lose in the first round of the playoff like they have the last 3 years. [/quote]Well, maybe we should have scheduled the powerhouse Big Sandy, huh?  ::) ::) Legacy was on the scheduled and we just handle business.  I don't know why we are not in a tournament this week, but I do hope we find somebody to play that will present a good chalenge...

Good deal...  Keep it updated... I think I'l be held up by the Girlfriend... ;D

And annoying..  ;D ;D

What do you mean 'stand by'?  If you mean be a man and admit I was wrong?  Eat crow?  Yes, I would, as I always do if I'm wrong... Again, I tell you, you must have me mistaken for somebody else...

[/quote] I think there is a very good chance that your predicition is correct.  I would like to ask you, though, that if by some quirk or coincidence that the impossible (HJ beating Silsbee) were to take place, will your post and the first response to it still be here on the board or will they magically disappear?

[quote name="utfan06" post="927995" timestamp="1291737457"] I dont see Vidor making the playoffs... [/quote]Who else makes it?  Lumberton? PN-G?  Livingston?

I would like to go on record to also say that H-J will not beat Silsbee...

Not taking anything away fro them, but they got 50% of their wins from wining in a weak tourney...

[quote name="adminbaberuth" post="927848" timestamp="1291692054"] LCM might have a shot at playoff spot this year. [/quote]Nope..  They dont .  Central, Ozen, Nederland, and Vidor will grab these playoff spots with relative ease...

Uh ohh!  Momma, there goes that man again (LaMarque)... ;D ;D
