I think I am still on the fence about this. After reading and hearing Nos explain why to foul, he makes great sense. Nos and I had this discussion at the East Chambers tourney when the Orangfield kid hit the three at the buzzer to send their game with Liberty Hill into overtime. Nos was for fouling, Todd and I said not to foul. In that particular instance, Nos was right. I would be more inclined to foul knowing that the opposing five on the court were not great freethrow shooters. Even if they were, I have seen too many a good high school player feel the pressure at the line to come through with that first freethrow. But, it is a game of percentages. Do you take your chances on a 30% shot, or make them hit one freethrow and then get an offensive rebound. IMO, those percentages are pretty fairly equal, but a little worse for the latter.

Personally I wouldn't think that Doug would take that job either. But when Lazeek spoke of a ghost from the past, I wanted to know if that's who he was talking about.

Then disregard my previous post. ;D Who is it that you had in mind?

If you are suggesting that McCarter will come back, then that tells me one or two things. One, that debate we had here about Silsbee and West Brook being the better job that some suggested that Brook was better because it was 5A, gets thrown completely out. He would be leaving a 5A for a 3A school that is not one of the better basketball programs around these parts. The other thing is, if Doug were to come back, then maybe he has worn out his welcome over there at that 5A Katy school.

The comparisons to Pat White probably is a little unfair to Jeremy. But, from what I have read on some of West Virginia's local news sites, messageboards, and on Scout, most folks up there say that Jeremy is more advanced at this stage than what Pat was at this stage. Time will tell, but it looks as though some folks up there are ready to annoint Jeremy as the next Pat White. All I want is for Jeremy to be the best Jeremy Johnson that he can be. If he does that, things will take care of themselves. He'll be a star in his own right.

Not according to what I have heard. Only the chairbacks.

I have not heard anything on the job opening. My guess is that a coach that is already on staff, who has coached the Silsbee varsity girls team before, could be the replacement.

I agree. But my sources tell me that it is Tubbs that is looking at those higher prices. I was told it was his idea about the PSL's and that he thought the chairbacks could get at least $80 a game for them.

Looks as though Cal got out while the gettin was good. [Hidden Content]

I couldn't agree more. I think a reasonable price for the chairbacks should be around the $50-$65 range and the bench seats around the $25-$40 range. Then after a few seasons you can go up on the prices. As for my Aggies, I hope we see a better value for my season tickets there in Aggieland than I have gotten the last few years.

I was told the chairbacks would be at least $100 a seat per game. Also, those seats will have at least a $1000 to $1500 PSL to each seat.

No. ODU is in Norfolk, VA in a metro area of over 1.5 million people. They also don't have much else in the way of entertainment! DC is up the road a bit. LU is in a Metro area about 1/4 the size. I agree. I think Lamar will be fortunate to get 5,000 season tickets, even if that. After hearing what the chairback seats will be going for, that 5,000 number could be out of reach.

Here is a link at scout.com announcing Jeremy's verbal commitment: [Hidden Content] Also a link showing his current national and state ranking at QB: #15 national, #5 state [Hidden Content] And here's a link to Jeremy's bio on scout.com: [Hidden Content]

Silsbee junior QB Jeremy Johnson, 4 star and scout.com top 15 national quarterback, has given a verbal commitment to the West Virginia Mountaineers! This is just a verbal commit, it's non-binding. But this is where Jeremy wants to go and West Virginia has always been at the top when recruiting Johnson. Best of luck to you Jeremy and I am so glad you'll be playing the position that you have always wanted to play at the next level. Now go out and have a great senior season!!

Yes. D. Frank MAY be attending a private prep school in D.C.

IMO, it looks as though Roc is dissappointed with his class and is trying to delay the inevitable, ridicule for the lack of a descent class. I have done some research and it looks as though Lamar is one of the last schools in the nation to release their signees. It will be interesting to hear his excuse for the delay.

Again, congrats Jarvis!

No. In fact, the two athletes that I mentioned earlier are the only two to be MVP's of their district in both football and basketball.

There's that egg on the face again. :

Another softball drama at it's best. : I do not know how these "select" softball teams are formed and run, but jumping ship mid season or right at the beginning of season shows lack of respect and character. All it shows is that it's "all about me" and screw everyone else.

Check a couple of threads down, you'll see.

Gabe, aren't you in the "active/real" media?

That would be okay by me. Would show good taste. :

Morrison asks for patience on coaching decision Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader ORANGEFIELD — Orangefield Athletic Director Blake Morrison wants everyone to be a little more patient and not jump the gun on his future. Morrison was on his way Tuesday afternoon to Coldpsring High School to meet with AD Bryan Barbay about becoming the defensive coordinator for the Trojans. “I don’t know yet,” Morrison said. “I have been telling people I will make my decision somewhere around Thursday. Then I will give exactly what I am going to do. I have not resigned from Orangefield. I am looking at going through the processes. I want people to just hold on and I will give the go-ahead on what I am doing later.” Orangefield Superintendent Phillip Welch also reported his office has not received a resignation from Morrison. Morrison said he will first talk with his family before making a decision on whether to take the Coldspring job and leave Orangefield High School. “I am headed there now (Tuesday) to Coldspring just to talk with them,” Morrison said. “Right now I am just looking at another position. I will let everyone know on Thursday.” The Bobcats are 12-34 under the direction of Morrison. Orangefield went 1-7 in 2008 with Orangefield’s win coming against Tarkington. Morrison stepped up from defensive coordinator in the 2004 season after Kevin Flanigan left for Crosby High School. Flanigan’s last season, 2003, is the last year Orangefield has reached the playoffs.
