Thanks for agreeing to be our opener 😉

Had to have been written in braille…

You might be right buddy.

Can’t see that happening (with Kamala). If they do a bait and switch, I think it will be Newsome. Kills two birds because they have to dump Harris in doing so (can’t have running mates from the same state). I thought that would be the play all along but getting pretty late in the game.

This is excellent. Thanks for laying it out for us.

Or what they were doing taking him 😂

what a random, terrible guess 😉

Kountze -8??? You’re losing a step buddy. (Actually I thought that was a pretty tight line when you posted it.)

Yep. The Calmese kid from Lamar is getting decent minutes due to his injury. And Wes was dominating Calmese at Lamar open gyms when he was at United. Of course, Yates was better than a LOT of SLC guards when he was still in HS and Nate struggled guarding them as well.

Just because the kids are better at basketball, doesn’t mean it’s not still a poor district. And for me, it’s more the kind of music than the sound system anyway. And if that didn’t make me sound old enough, it IS too loud for me, even if it was music I actually enjoy. But that’s just the way it is most places now days I suppose. On the up side, come to Lamar games. They’re still rocking YMCA and Cotton Eyed Joe 😂🤣

Read my mind.

Could the Indian “faithful” care less about basketball?

NFL? I can see your point. Day has gotten a lot of criticism at tOSU for a coach who has won close to 90 percent of his games as their HC…

Now you’ve piqued my curiosity even more. I really have no idea what’s going on here.

Too funny 😂 I think we can all agree now that this was one last “home run hire” by Smalley before going to the dark side (relax Cards, I kid). With a top 10 coach in SETX at the helm (he’s been on my list for years), and the talent coming up through the pipeline, the Bobcats have a chance to be a 3A power for the next several years (assuming they stay 3A, which they should). Unless there is some major real estate development very quickly, there isn’t a ton of room for population growth in OF. (Sidenote: with Orangefield and Kountze trending up, EC is going to need to up that recruiting budget so they can get back in the mix for those BISD transfers wirh HF. Step it up Bucs!)

Just an FYI Orangefield won district at every sub-varsity level. And 7th grade through Varsity, they’ve lost one game. That’s right one (the first varsity game with Kountze obviously). The future is very bright for Bobcat basketball I would say. (Thanks to Mr. Todd Shores for that info.)

I saw that and don’t really understand that move for Kelly. Has to be something more to that decision for him, no?

I’ve only been following 25 years and change. But assuming the good Lord keeps him healthy, I can’t imagine he won’t end up being the best to lace em up during my time here. Remarkable he’s only a sophomore.

Season ending injury. Achilles I believe.

Shooting is often predicated on defense. For instance, I would venture to guess most 19-4A teams have their worst shooting nights against Silsbee. And while I would agree that whichever team shoots it better will be a significant advantage, one number jumped out at me way beyond any other in the first meeting. Orangefield simply cannot turn it over 28 times and expect to have a chance to win the game.

I think many of us probably appreciate your football postings (including AAW I’m guessing). Whether it’s Bellville or another team from that district, it is nice to know what’s ahead come playoff time from someone who has put eyes on those teams.

May end up being Clay’s best coaching job. And he’s had many.

If only they had two more horsemen…

How many 3A schools have swim teams period? Y’all have too much durn money over there in Winnie… 😉
