[quote name="sportsfan2020" post="1104299" timestamp="1320431884"] only thing wrong with youth sports is the adults.  Let the kids play and have fun.  People really talk trash about pee wee football.  Really. [/quote] Yes, we talk trash and poke fun and rag on each other...it's called fun.  You don't have to be a part of it if you don't like it.  Besides, my kid could whip your kid's butt!  (For all concerned, that was humor...)

I honestly don't know if we have heard the "complete" truth yet...

[quote name="Gusher" post="1103550" timestamp="1320354721"] DISCLAIMER This post has nothing to do with that game. I hear that kind of statement all the time "we would have scored more if ___ # of scores were not called back. Many times that same drive results in a score so the outcome was the same just took a little longer. I think some people think forget that and only look at the "called back" score. OK continue on. [/quote] Very true.

That is some sort of proof and that's all that should matter to St. Thomas. Kelly may not have sent the guy and had no idea the person was going to do this (which I honestly think this to be the case). But, I imagine many a school has said this in their defense of these actions when brought before a UIL or TAPPS board, be it honest or dishonest, and still had some kind of reprimand or violation brought down on them. [/quote] I think you are correct in your thinking that probably this "outsider" (non-school affiliation other than his kid goes to Kelly) was acting on his own behalf.  What I disagree with is your assumption that St. Thomas would have any kind of case. Like I said...sketchy at best.

Thank goodness this post should be over in less than 48 hours...

Doesn't sound plausible, but anything can happen.  Let's wait before judgement is laid down.

[quote name="True Blue" post="1102659" timestamp="1320264537"] I guess it just how you look at it... In the 4 and 5a schools were there are 25 to 30 kids standing on the sideline, putting 50 + on someone might seam ok But when you only have 11 to 15 on the sideline and over have of them are 14 and 15 yrs old. What have you proven by running up a score?? In most small 1 and 2a schools kid are playing both ways. So why keep beating them ,when the game is out of hand. [/quote] I am sorry to say, but I can't see your logic.  But even if you are a panty waist...DON'T FOREFEIT THE GAME!!!  Teach these young athletes that quitting never served any purpose, other than self-degradation.

He put on a show Saturday. [/quote] He may not be the best by himself.  He has a great supporting cast of friends and teammates.  All I can say is he is athletic in every sport he plays.  I also would put the QB #11 on the Bmt G team right beside him.  They both have great speed. [/quote] Both are very good players.

[quote name="True Blue" post="1102198" timestamp="1320239947"] Well 43 to 0 would not be a bad score, but remember it was 43 to 0 IN the 3 QR and you said they were getting ready to put the JV in >:( Like I said what were they waiting on ...50?? [/quote] Anything wrong with waiting on 50???

[quote name="whsalum" post="1101119" timestamp="1320105971"] 43-0 would have been a close game for some our opponents this year  ::) I know that's not alot of fun for the players on the short end but you don't quit once the game starts.If you can't compete , don't start.[b]If you start don't quit[/b]. [/quote] I couldn't agree more.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1102192" timestamp="1320239181"] Look, all this talk about qb's is really not the major issue. You need to be more concerned about your opponent this Friday night. ;) [/quote] They are going to beat their opponent by choosing the correct QB to do so.  It is a very pertinent issue.  Choosing the correct QB makes a big difference (someone should forward this post to Jerry Jones).  WHEN they beat HF (and they will), it will be nice going into the playoffs already knowing who's leading your offense onto the field.  They could beat HF with either QB though.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1101814" timestamp="1320176445"] IMO Silsbee should run more wildcat plays using Turk, Gaines, and Spearman. Those are your top playmakes. If you can't get the ball in their hands behind some decent blocking, then your season will end earlier than you want. There have been very few games this year (stats dont lie) that I think Silsbee has been able to get the ball in their playmakers hands consistantly. Haven't heard Turks name called in a while on a huge run or pass catch. Spearman's production has slowed down and Gaines hasn't had  as many oppritunities as he did earlier in the year. Get the ball in the hands of the players who can move the chains. If Drake can do that, let him have the keys.  :D [/quote] I agree.  I see Coach McGallion starting Drake...It's the most logical move.

[quote name="queenb77630" post="1101010" timestamp="1320095180"] Division 1 had some great teams also.  Just because they didn't make it past round 1 doesn't mean they were less then good. [/quote] I don't think anyone said DIV 1 wasn't good...I think the poster was just pointing out (and rightly so) that EVERY team in the 2nd round is from DIV 2.  The implication is that DIV 2 was better/tougher than DIV 1...Can't argue with the logic...

[/quote] My point is a Reed is a better fit for SIlsbee's offense. Not to take anything away from Drake. He is one heck of a player, but he threw 5 TD's in a game vs HJ not WOS or BC. Reed did get Silsbee to 6-0 if I recall. I guess he was good enough for those games and earned the right to start. Drake is better at wideout and saftey. Him playing QB, Saftey, Punter, Kicker, etc wears him down to much. Reed is young and has alot of growing and maturing to do. If Silsbee wants to have success outside of thier next game, they are better off leting Garret play his normal position at WR and Saftey. [/quote] Good well thought out argument, but I gotta go with Drake on this one.  Let's win THIS year and next year. Start Drake.  If he can't keep up due to going 3 ways, then put Reed in. 

Lumberton starting QB/DB out as well as another 2 way key starter @ WR/DB makes for a tough ball game for LHS to win this one.

Looking at other start-up programs, like South Alabama, and Lamar is not keeping pace. There are more and more empty seats at LU games. Interest is waning. Winning solves these problems. Embarrasing showings like this week cant help recruting or ticket sales, so how does it get better? [/quote] People need to go to the games win or lose.  I would imagine that at least 1/2 of the people on this board have been to 2 or fewer home games.  Success takes support.  Support means $$.  Fans (and rich donors) = money. [/quote] BINGO!

I am not saying Woodard is the answer.  I am only saying that this is an infant program.  Give it a chance to crawl then walk then run. 

[quote name="tvc184" post="1100404" timestamp="1320051271"] I am wondering how many people are putting the horse before the cart and assuming that the game will be over by the half. [/quote] Yup.

[quote name="dogfather" post="1100418" timestamp="1320058811"] Who knows - play offs are crazy - I think the right 4  teams are there for sure.
