Saw this morning Ward got an offer to play for Southwestern in Georgetown next year. He has certainly earned it. Congrats to Josh and his family!

I'll take the Raiders 21-20

If you say so

It always amazes me how many kids get "religious" when they find out about a tough practice on Wednesday night. :-)

And where most high schools lost students during Harvey, Lumberton gained students. The bottom # for 5A would have to be about 2000 for Lumberton to drop down to 4A.

The physicality is part of it. But what I meant was that even though you are pulling from the same # of kids in each sport, you need fewer good players to be competitive in sports like baseball and basketball. Look at how many small schools are successful in March Madness each year. George Mason made the Final Four I believe one year. George Mason is not even able to field a football team. Lamar can periodically beat UT in baseball, but how do you think they would fare against UT or A&M in football? So, it is a combination of the physicality of football (imposing your physical will on your opponent) and the sheer #'s that are required in order to have a competitive FB team at a certain level. After saying all of that, I'll throw out the usual statement that none of this applies to WOS when it comes to football. :-)

Just look at how Silsbee basketball is able to compete, and beat, most schools 2-3x their enrollment. But they can't do it in football. Why? There is your answer.

Are you talking about enrollment numbers for Central?

Oh, I want some! :-)

Been busy but doing good. I'm looking forward to a great game Friday night! I know Babin will have the Raiders ready. Are the Jags ready to come Get Some?

The calm before the storm

Just cuz a kid has a great work ethic does not mean he will play as a freshman. Did you play past hs? I played with a fella who was All American at our FBS school. He made All Pro(not pro bowl) in the NFL and "started" for about a dozen years. He was red shirted in college. Don't try to tell me about how college boosters and politics work. You only know what somebody told you. And based on who you probably run with, I wouldn't call them a reliable source. Smh

Mond is a freshman. A&M HC will be fired soon and you never know what coach they bring in after that. At least Herman is not going anywhere. And true champions don't shy away from competition so I'm sure RJ is not worried about beating out an upper classman. The competition will only make him that much better. Besides, everybody always wants kids to go in and start right away. There is no better way to develop as a freshman than to torch your own defense running scout team O every day.

I know. I wish I could struggle like that.

We are not debating whether Central will score or how much they'll score. I don't see Central having a defense like PAM or Vidor

So now you are saying that Jones is as good of a QB as Johnson? Remember, we are talking about being a QB, not just a great athlete. By the way, what is Jones being recruited as for college? It's not even fun arguing with you because you have absolutely no clue.

Well then, let's give Soulja a chance to clarify. Soulja, did you mean 3 TDs (approx 18+ pts) or did you mean something else? Do tell.

Wait a minute. The schools that Brook plays would smash png but only some of them would smash pam? PNG just beat pam and pam lost last year to vidor. What color is the sky in your world?

3 scores. You're dreaming.

What I find amusing is all the talk about how weak 22-5A is and how Memorial was going to plow through this district after dropping down. Were the refs the reason why PAM lost to Vidor last year or is that excuse only for this loss? I predict that PAM will NEVER have an undefeated, district championship in this weak district.

Here is a better question: If I consistently speed on the highways more than my neighbor and I get ticketed more, who or what is to blame? Is it my fault or is it the fault of law enforcement?

It's called the Victim mentality. It's really a bad look and causes people to not take you seriously when you really are a victim of an Injustice

Easy 11. Don't give em any bulletin board material.

So who has more yards rushing at the end of this game?

Mr ciccio better bring it cuz I know Ward will. :-)
