Thought BC and OF both looked good against HJ. Didn’t see any of the BC/OF one. HJ missing its top 5 or 5 of its top 6 guys. #20 from BC I really liked and they had a scrappy group. I know they were missing a couple as well, one of which apparently may not play this year who has some size. OF has a couple of key kids still in football too but they are better and deeper than I realized. The scales kid may have been the best player in the gym today. Kid can go.

I still don’t know how we even won that game. Very kind of K St in refusing to take that victory we kept trying to give them. Super sweet parting gift

Yeah that was way premature. He’s been awful. Since the first couple of drives. My bad.

If he leaves, he leaves. But you can’t convince me Maliik isn’t a better option right now.

At the BC/HJ/OF 3 way scrimmage this morning. It’s preseason basketball so it’s not polished but the officiating has been about perfect, especially out if the chute. Looks like a fourth of the chapter is here but these first three guys are all pretty good.

No doubt about it, in my mind anyway. Probably the greatest motion offense coach of all time. And one of the best man defensive coaches. Along with Mike Leach, one of my two favorite coaches of all time at the college level.

On a Friday it’s K-Dan’s hands down. Bullfish is pretty good too. That might be the better option tonight if it’s not too busy.

Basically the same.

Oh wow. Didn’t realize it was a Thursday game. Yeah you would like their Friday set up. One of the better values around actually, I think for 3 pieces of catfish, 6 shrimp, fries, 2 sides and roll or cornbread is like 12 or 13 bucks. It’s really good stuff too.

Good choice. That shrimp and fish on Friday is pretty dang good.

True story

1000%. I will put him up there with anyone. He can flat out coach. There’s no one’s teams I enjoy watching more than his.

The Ohio St - Penn St game was almost unwatchable. I won’t be tuning in again until the Big Game.

I don’t know what analytics say to not kick it to make it a 3 score game late in the 3rd quarter. Two possessions in a row inside the 10 with zero points can be demoralizing to the defense. That being said, a win is a win and the loss by our biggest rival is even sweeter. The trail of tears in Oklahoma tomorrow when they drop below Texas will be delicious.

I sure wish Sark would realize you can kick chip shot FGs. They add up.

You can’t make this stuff up

LCM, Jasper, WOS, now Bridge City. And one particular school is the constant. Maybe they need a little less “smoke” there.

Those horsemen can’t be confined to only one A, Ashly.

Impossible even if they knew it was coming.

There are also not an insignificant amount of Lumberton kids in private schools as well. Not sure how many but I know 2 or 3 families and I don’t know a ton of Lumberton people in general. I do agree that the growth is probably delayed because the families who move there with young children will let them go to LISD. The ones who moved when their kids were teenagers weren’t going to make them lose their Beaumont private school classmates. Next cycle should be interesting.

Always tough to compare a 2 to a 4 but I would agree its fairly close, especially for HS players. I tend to prefer to put my stock in the guy who starts with the ball in his hands at all levels. And while Chris will end up being a high major kid, he won't have as wide a choice as Jared had. Does that mean much come playoff time when they are playing for championships? Not really. I expect Silsbee's road will include BTW along the way again, and hopefully this time with a better result. Still going to be interesting to see what the roster will look like.

In 22-3A, I tend to agree with your top 3 (and maybe 4). But why is Buna so low? Do they really not have much this year?

I assumed it was Crockett because he was talking about how wild it is that they are ranked. I was actually impressed with where they ranked Kountze because it showed they actually did some homework past last season’s results. They should be highest ranked team in district and maybe only the ones with EC.

That is strange. Did McDermott transfer? He’s easily the second best player in the region behind Jared and honestly BTW will be better on some nights than last year with addition by subtraction (I.e., those nights when Lewis couldn’t hit the broad side of the barn - he was going to put up his 20 shots whether he was on or not).

Oh wow. Yeah that’s pretty bad.
