East TX

Wow, The BC team is multi-sport short and quite athletic. Same thing happened at the "showdown" against H-F--discipline, great coaching and multi-sport extreme resistance to fatigue--swamps another tall good team in the 5th and deciding game.

Taylor, What a long journey! Congrats! I remember you as a very small 8 year old on a 10U Beaumont Blast team that finished 2nd in State up at Henderson, TX. I remember thinking, if she develops any size at all, her determination will carry her far. Again Congrats, Your determination has carried you very far--have a good college career!

Looking at the returnees, I would hazard: 1. Nederland 2. Bridge City 3. Orangefield 4. PN-G 5. LCM 6. Vidor 7. West Brook 8. Hamshire-Fannett 9. Lumberton 10. Hardin-Jefferson Top five fairly close.....and also 6-10 fairly close

;D If a man yells "You lie" in a room full of politicians, how in the world would they know who he was talking to?

Was the games played this past weekend or was it scratched due to flu bug? Will it be rescheduled? Any added makeup games?

Copy/paste If you are a senior you will understand this one, if you deal with seniors this should help you understand them a little better, and if you are not a senior yet........God willing, someday you will be...... The $2.99 Special We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the 'seniors' special' was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $2.99. 'Sounds good,' my wife said. 'But I don't want the eggs.' 'Then, I'll have to charge you three dollars and forty-nine cents because you're ordering, a la carte,' the waitress warned her. 'You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?' my wife asked incredulously. 'YES!!' stated the waitress. 'I'll take the special then,' my wife said. 'How do you want your eggs?' the waitress asked. 'Raw and in the shell,' my wife replied. She took the two eggs home and baked a cake. DON'T MESS WITH SENIORS!!! WE'VE been around the block more than once!

"If you think that swimming is good for your figure, I suggest you study the whale... and while I'm at it, this week make sure you're kind to retired people, 'cos unlike you, they never get a day off!" This is a quote from--Lou Holtz......he is one of my favorite.

copy/paste Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator. On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him. 'I don't know,' he said. 'She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.'

One more just to be shore ;D Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much. The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser of two weevils.

Good win for those Bobbies. Congrats

This was one of the best and hardly anyone read it! ;D

Yes,BC won in five: last game 15-11....The other games were close and competitive--congrats to both teams, you will do well in 21-3A District play.

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. · Ponderisms In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal. · How is it that one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire? · Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these dangly things and drink whatever comes out?' · If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him? · · If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? · If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from? · Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup? · Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?

Oops, I almost forgot to put something funny on here--the Ladies should like this one... ;D He said to me.... Why are married women heavier than single women? I said to him . .. . Single women come home, see what's in the fridge and go to bed. Married women come home, see what's in bed and go to the fridge.

BC has two great VB Coaches--Becca & Beth....Both were outstanding players in their younger years and they CARE.. really really care.. District starts and these Uth have faced the best they could schedule. North Shore HS did a lot to help these girls learn to play against a very top TX VB team. This is the shortest in height 3A and above classification team that I have observed; yet, they have reached a level-- to play for a higher spot in 21-3A District standings. If you think medium height multi-sport girls cannot compete in VB, come watch the discipline and performance mode attained by this group......... Congrats!

I am going to try to see a few of your games this season. Sounds like you are excited and quite capable!

I know a lot about BC baseball...in fact I played on a winning team in finishing-- in 1959 and have followed local winners since that time... My point is that I think the best is yet to come. Look at what is happening across the board in BC younger diamond sports. They are spread out everywhere and doing quite well! This is not taking away from the past; it is being more than optimistic into the immediate future and beyond.

;D Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks and engines. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough You never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes. No wonder men are happier

Bridge City again walks away with it....This next season is the beginning of a BC dynasty; the whole student body loves diamond sports...and the younger youth in the BCISD are winning across the board on baseball in select and summer assorted programs. Probably OF is a solid second. I think HF with the ADs help can get the third spot...

WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED: Men Are Just Happier People-- Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can never be pregnant. Car mechanics tell you the truth The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time.

The Czars have isolated one business for Ladies with just one leg....They are sending them to IHOP for applications! The name that crops up the most on the applications is ILENE : A one legged man told me this joke at Whataburger this morning ;D

Nederland wins it in Baseball and Softball.....its called commitment and long-term tradition. Maybe Lumberton and PNG will get the other remaining playoff spots.
