I may have read it wrong.

News article announcing it says he is

I was told he is the QB coach. According to the article he is.

QB coach is the AD. Got to be a first.

Got to be a first at this level. Assistant football coach being the AD.

Jeremy Peña since being moved to the leadoff spot in the lineup: 16 G, .406 BA/1.033 OPS, 5 2B, 3 HR, 15 RBI, 195 wRC+

Be careful while playing in Beaumont. Pretty dangerous.

He has really flourished in the lead off spot. Leads the team in practically every offensive category: average (.315), hits (51) rbi (23) HR (6), doubles (8), total bases (77), Slugging % (.475) and OPS (.840). 2nd on the team in OBP at .365

The only thing about the wood chip filler fields is that you still have to put water on it to keep it from becoming too dry and becoming a dust field.

Framber pitched 8 innings (just 89 pitches), giving up 1 run on 6 hits, striking out 7.

Can't figure out why you are such a Chester fan being from or currently at Brookeland?

In Beaumont?

@BMTSoulja1 do you play dominoes?

Not exactly. Astros pitching is in the top 5 of the AL in quality start category. Have 18 quality starts. League leader has 21. Houston still is in top 5 in AL in team ERA with 3.51 (up from a 3.20 a week ago which was 3rd). 2nd in league in opponent OBA at .216 and leads the league in WHIP at 1.15. Tied for league lead in strikeouts with 372. The bats have definitely improved over the last 3 weeks. Astros have brought the team batting average from .204 to now .250, which puts them 6th in the AL. They have improved their slugging percentage greatly from a dismal .323 to now .376 which is 6th in the league. Have an OPS of .700 which is top 5. Also is top 5 in OBP (.323) As for the division, only the Athletics have a better batting average (.259) and Rangers have a better ERA (3.34). Astro pitching has been their strength for the first 40 games (although have fallen a bit the last 6 games) while the hitting has really started to come on. If the hitting continues to trend upward and the pitching keeps it's top 5 status like it has all season so far, Houston will be right there at the top of the division. Like you said, still plenty of baseball to play.

I did learn that a very significant area coach interviewed for this position. I highly doubt he will take the job, but did interview.

I see where the Westwood coach is on admin leave now. School board voting tonight to fire him or not. Silsbee may have dodged a bullet.

It will be very difficult for Houston to trade him due to his contract and being damaged goods. Astros would basically expect nothing in return for him. That's not good business.

It's my understanding that both have a degree. Silsbee has always required all their head coaches to be certified teachers.

I simply can't see Silsbee promoting Jacob over Ira at this point unless that's Ira wish. Both have interviewed. I can see them promoting Ira to head coach for the next 3-4 years then handing the reigns over to Jacob.

Yes, but for soccer and track.

All the scores:

HJ went undefeated in Pool A, beating Katy Home School, Liberty and Jasper Silsbee went undefeated in Pool B, beating Hamshire-Fannett, Huffman and WO-S HJ defeated Silsbee in the final, 20-7. HJ qualifies for state tourney.

That's for soccer and track.

Not necessarily. He is not certified and Silsbee has always required their head coaches to be certified teachers. Optics has nothing to do with it.
