What’s worse, the DEC is saying that if your kid wants to play varsity athletics, he has to go to private school. There is not even a public school option for him. This can’t be right. And if so, may be the dumbest DEC decision I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen some pretty idiotic ones.

Those of you making a totality of the circumstances argument (I.e., they’ve had too many transfers and we are going to put a stop to it), kindly remove your heads from your behinds so you can breathe. IF what is being represented here is true (the kid lives in HFISD and is transferring from Tekoa to HF...private school to his zoned public school), then the DEC absolutely butchered this one. I have no independent knowledge of this particular kid so that’s why I say “if.” But again, “if” that is true and the DEC voted against this kid based on what they believe may be occurring at HF, despite the evidence for this kid to the contrary, they should be very, very ashamed of themselves. And maybe reflect on why they got into the profession in the first place. Just sayin...

No parquet

Yes. It’s usually the schools who have been the guiltiest who scream the loudest when someone else gets a transfer or two. Ironic isn’t it?

To quote Michael Corleone, “Now who’s being naive?” I’ve seen exactly what you claim would be a stretch happen. I’ve seen a head coach get infuriated with his AD for not voting against a particular player. And I’ve seen a chicken 💩 school get another one to try and carry the water to get a particular player voted down by a DEC, only to be sorely disappointed when they found out that kid’s parents weren’t going to lay down and let an eligibility decision be made based upon the other school’s “athletic purposes.” (I.E., not wanting to have to play that kid.). As I once heard a local superintendent eloquently put it, “if he was a 5’8” kid from Fred, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.”

who didn’t know this?

McClure is a nice player. But let’s not get silly. Lamar was his first offer and he took it. We aren’t talking about a package deal type player (ala Ok St hiring Cade Cunningham’s brother or Missouri hiring Michael Porter He’s dad). If Mitchell got a job it would definitely be on his own merit.

Welcome to SETX Sports, Mr. Hay.

Speaking in terms of stations, not cash.

Regardless of outcome in a head to head, I don’t know many (if anyone), who would not take Smalley over Mathews value-wise. In fact, based upon what Vidor pays Mathews...

Anyone else open this thread expecting to see a highlight reel for WOS’ tight end?

Yes what a riches to rags story for the ages. Wonder why they haven’t made a feel good movie about ol’ Artie yet?

The horsemen are back baby!

What it’s looking like. Battle of the two teams with the best coaches in SETX for that Slot T offense.

Man I thought Vidor would be a powerhouse dropping down. Massive disappointment so far this season.

How’s that IHOP treating you cardinals? Would you like a cup of coffee with that fat, juicy L?

I’m not going to say Wise can’t coach. I do think the elite coaches are able to adjust their “systems” to their opponents. There are not a lot of elite coaches in HS basketball. We do have some in our area that are very adept at adjustments both to a particular opponent and in-game.

So ol’ Rudy had time to “revel” it in between being catfished by Sasha Baron Cohen? He’s a sharp one.

Apparently that works both ways. As evidence, I present Exhibit A 👆 (Edit: Not you @baddog, you may be strange and/or crazy but only in the best way.)

Not my boy. But it is humorous watching you claim fake news while constantly posting links to tinfoilhat.com.

[Hidden Content] For someone who is as litigious as they come (which is a compliment in my circles 😂), Trump sure picks some clowns for attorneys. But in fairness, Rudy is a significant bump from Cohen.

Yates vs HJ for a trip to SA is my prediction.

Will have full squad by then. That united team may be as talented as any we’ve seen from Silsbee. If they can avoid beat downs, will be impressive.

Melvin Swift was pretty darn special as well. My guess is FFA but wouldn’t be surprised if Carter was either. They also return some nice players with size.

This is what people miss. Yes, Silsbee might be deeper this year. I have a VERY hard time believing they will be better. Put LeBron on Sacramento and you don’t think they are instantly better than the Lakers? Bush was that kind of equivalent at the 4A level. Silsbee got spoiled having him, Adams and McCain all at the same time. They could go 50 years without having another player as good as Bush. I would say he and Weisbrod are probably the best two Hs players I have seen in SETX over the past 25 years.
