I was in 8th grade when Coach Randy started at Woodville...he delivered on of my favorite quotes in the weight room one day after people were complaining...he hollered out “It’s just mind over matter. I don’t mind an you don’t matter.” Him and Coach Reggie were each one of a kind and I’ll always have fond memories of both. Condolences to the family.

Played for Coach Reggie at Woodville and he was by far my favorite coach of any I came across. An absolute man of integrity and faith and did his best to make sure each players under him carried themselves in the same way. My favorite memory of him was playing in a JV game against Kelly and he gave me the steal sign. I’ve never been accused of being fleet of foot so I looked over into our dugout to see if I saw it right. Lots of confused looks so I knew I wasn’t going crazy. I Was thrown out by a country mile for the 3rd out and Coach Reggie beat me back to the dugout to question what I was doing cause he’d never tell me to steal. My teammates had to tell him that he did and he just started laughing and apologized. Next AB I got on and he once again gave me the steal sign...only this time with eye contact and a subtle head nod. I beat the tag at 2nd and as I’m dusting myself off I hear the PA man say “runner advances to 2nd on the wild pitch”. I look over and Coach Reggie is on the ground laughing.

Part 1 - Because a fair call is not verbally announced vs a foul call is verbally announced, players are to assume a ball is fair until they hear a foul call. Once an umpire yells foul it kills the play. Comparison in football would be a player running down the sideline and ruled to step out of bounds but he actually doesn’t. Once the whistle is blown or in this case foul is called you can’t assume what would happen after that. Part 2 - My understanding (and I’m not a TASO umpire) is that in a typical HS game where there are 2 umpire, the home plate ump has fair foul down the line with the exception being when no runners are on and the field ump has from the back of the back to the fence down the RF line. Now with this being a 4 man crew I don’t know if there is any change to that. I have seen MLB field umpires make that fair/foul ruling over the base.

Completely agree with that. Wasn’t there to see it...just going off of the broadcast and talking to people that were there. If they would have overturned it then MW would have just as much or more of a beef as Ned does now.

I was told 3rd base...then Spell protested to the home plate ump who changed it to fair...then the crew got together and ruled it foul. Hate to see a game decided by officials.

He also said said the bond would get shot down 60/40 or even 70/30...see how accurate he was on that one...

Again this is all just a preliminary idea of what they could/would want to do. I agree that an expanded visitor side is only going to come into play once every 2 years at MCM. Typically other visiting schools (except maybe Vidor on occasion) don’t even fill up the main section at midfield.

This shows an initial plan of what is proposed. Additional seating to be added on the player entrance side of the stands

It had been mentioned in one of the community meetings that they wanted to add some additional seating so they didn’t lose any seating capacity...I don’t think the plan is to increase capacity just to replace what’s lost. What will be interesting is how season tickets are handled for those that will lose their seat to an ADA mod.

I believe the 2009 bond had roughly 4,000 turn out. I was vote 950 at 5:45 this evening. Still another week of early voting, Election Day and absentees.

I believe what he is referring to is the signs put at each school and football stadium that details what is proposed at each location. These signs do not advocate for or against the bond and are informational only.

I guess the “no” crowd was in full panic mode when “yes” signs were being stolen before “no” signs were even ordered...

Well the UIL has to find a cut-off point somewhere lol

Yes he will have to sit out the first half...rule was modified this past offseason and that is the new ruling. [Hidden Content]

Kinda funny how people called for BF’s head when he ran RJ so much last year...according to the PA News he has 1 more carry last night than last year. But in all reality, Bulldog fans are glad to not have to see that guy anymore (unless there is a 4th round rematch). Guy absolutely took our lunch money the last three years and did what he wanted. As difficult as it was to watch him gash Nederland play after play and year after year, it was actually kind of an honor to see him play. Not everyone gets to see that kind of talent at the HS level. Texas will be in good hands the next 4-5 years but until then, best of luck in the playoffs. By my count of the PA News stats his career rushing totals came out to be 99 carries for 787 yards and 16 TDs...that’s 33 carries for 262 yards and 5.3 TDs per game...
