  1. BS - Grapeland looks to be the best game on the 3 imo.
  2. I think you also hit the nail on the head. It’s so obvious it’s gotten embarrassing for him. He just doesn’t realize it
  3. There is a bigger issue here that is an interesting debate. A good friend of mine was kidnapped by 3 illegals last year from his home. The first went to trial a couple of weeks ago and got 60 years. Let’s say for argument’s sake he will do 30. Under our system, he will do his time and then be deported. Here is the question: do you prefer he serve his sentence under our justice system to ensure his punishment and pay for said punishment? Or do you just deport him even if he receives no punishment in his own country (which I believe is Honduras). The knee jerk reaction is send them back and don’t make them our problem. But if you are the victim or his family, you want justice. But justice is meant to be meted out by the impartial. Tough question and I am torn. In this case, glad he’s in prison because I have an emotional attachment to it. But what say you guys?
  4. He’s absolutely the best. Loves the game and is happy to talk to anyone about it as long as they like. Phenomenal coach and even better human being. I will be a Buc fan as long as he’s there.
  5. You lose to BC and I’m whoopin somebody’s A.
  6. I said last year that Sutherland would get his next ring (at his third different school) next year (18-19 season). But I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if EC is a year ahead of schedule.
  7. You give the GOAT that kind of talent and they are an absolute threat to win it all.
  8. Kountze isn’t in the same hemisphere as EC. Not this year. Just an off year for the Lions. They’ll be back. Maybe after next year. EC is going to be a monster next year.
  9. At best. At worst, you get a reaction like CardinalBackers, which in truth, is not an uncommon or even unfair reaction. It is bit incredible that not one, but two schools self-report a violation, go to DEC, and then on appeal to UIL discover it was merely a clerical error. But assuming that is the case, it is even more incredible that a simple explanation such as a miscalculation of a grade wouldn’t have been discovered at the infancy of the process. It’s not that difficult to add and divide, especially for an “educator.” But regardless, I struggle with the whole forfeiture situation to begin with because the majority of those who are penalized (i.e., all but one kid on each of the teams) share no culpability and receive the brunt of the penalty. So in the end, some WOS boys and Silsbee girls who worked hard and did nothing wrong didn’t have something taken away from them that they earned. The whole thing smells but I can take solace in that.
  10. Roach is an elite perimeter defender and I’ve been impressed with Coleman’s defense as well. But it is nice to have a rim protector like Bamba.
  11. Wait, now it’s wait til not next year but year after next?? But back to the issue at hand... [Hidden Content]
  12. Sorry aggy. We thought about letting you have that one but with this Hemphill-Mapps business, we needed some position padding. But don’t worry, we’ll cull one your way soon...
  13. The irony is it’s not HF who is complaining. Probably because they were actually at the game. The people I’ve seen complain have no connection with either school, and were nowhere near the game. Some people just need a reason to complain, I guess. This started with a nice (and from what I understand from those in attendance) and well deserved compliment from a Hamshire-Fannett coach.
  14. It is not a secret I have been a Shaka fan since he was at VCU. I love relentless defense and this team is really, really good on that end of the floor. The improvement on the offensive end is making this team a real threat to win any game.
  15. Yes it is! I wish Coleman had used one of those FTs in the closing minutes of regulation vs Tech!
  16. I would be in favor of this.
  17. It is hard to fathom that a team scores 100 and didn’t run up the score. But I have no doubt that is exactly what happened. It is a very tough balancing act getting your kids the minutes they need to stay sharp while trying not to embarrass your opponent. Joe Sigler in basketball and Cornell Thompson in football are among the best I’ve seen. And both are complete class acts. Sometimes you have to look at more than numbers on a computer screen (like attend a game) to understand that.
  18. Very young team. Including several freshmen. Probably has a lot to do with why there is no freshman team.
  19. He is 100 percent correct. I know several opposing players that will tell you they may be the classiest opponent in the district. They play hard but they do it without trash talking and are good sports. They are good kids but I have no doubt some of that comes from the coaches. And for those that haven’t seen both teams play this year, I am confident if Silsbee kept the foot on the gas, they score closer to 200 than 100.
