Perfect storm slows early progress The early analysis of our area’s high school performances would be labeled lukewarm at best. But the obvious factors should offer easy explanations at this point. Many of the stronger teams have participated in one or two meets and have worked with very limited practice time due to cold and wet weather conditions. There are considerable improvements and personnel changes likely with so many relay teams that it’s hard to guess how strong our area will be in those events. Then there’s basketball and lengthy seasons unfolded at Beaumont United and Silsbee. Therefore much is dramatically going to change in the next two weeks, especially if warmer weather should arrive. Thursday’s meet at Vidor ought to showcase most of Orange County’s serious track athletes. Kollyn Brown and Annabelle Fisher are quite serious in the Little Cypress-Mauriceville area. Those two athletes already are improving upon last year’s season-best outings. Vidor has encouraging competitors too. One of the most interesting events at Vidor may be the girls high jump if Vidor’s Jaden Lee should battle for the gold medal. A Vidor sophomore, Lee owns the area lead. It’s also safe to believe that Mike Pierce’s will be an improved squad this spring due to more maturity in that Mustang senior class. Do not be surprised if some special performances also should emerge on Thursday from the Hamshire-Fannett and East Chambers athletes who travel to Woodville. Friday morning offers an early-bird special at Nederland with field events starting at 10 a.m. A high-quality field is expected with Port Arthur and both Beaumont ISD schools, as well as the Mid-County athletes and Bridge City and Barbers Hill. Two very Mid-County jumpers may compete in the girls long jump with Sanaria Butler of PN-G and Ke’Asia Hall of Nederland. Can Port Arthur drop into the 41s on the sprint relay. The Titans ran a 42.07 at Crosby and veteran mentor Darrell Granger and his staff feel they can go lower. One of Granger’s old staff members, West Brook boss Kendrick Johnson has the Bruins buzzing and awaiting brighter days. Last but not least, keep sending those results to [email protected]. My thanks to Gary Stelly, Van Wade and Allie Crommett for their help last week. And good luck to all the runners and jumpers this Thursday and Friday.

They did. Allen did it in 2017-18.

He can be a polarizing figure.....and from what I hear, that is exactly what the powers that be at Buna were looking for.

Question 1: I am sure it has been. I think Allen did it recently in 6A and I believe it happens with some frequency in the smaller school ranks. Question 2: The 6A game will be televised on Fox Sports Southwest. The other games will be video streamed on NFHS Network. Of note, SETXsports, pending approval of credentials by the UIL, will do audio broadcasts of the Beaumont United/Dallas Kimball 5A State Championship Game on Friday at 7 and the Huffman Hargrave/Argyle Class 4A State Championship Game on Saturday at 2.
