  1. Not a big fan of social media being so closely integrated with HS sports. Too much opportunity for bulletin board (and newcast) material.... as BC knows all too well Nothing good comes from players jawing with other teams online. I think that Silsbee’s troubles late in basketball season were created and magnified on social media. Ive heard of college programs having assistants whose role was to monitor players social media accounts... and players were required to “befriend” a team rep (no private accounts) or risk their position on the team. I get coaches embracing social media for communicating team info more easily. But it’s kinda like praising a coach for stopping by a house party to remind the kids about practice because “that’s where the kids are.” jeez, I’m getting old.
  2. For real... Loser of this one might still make the playoffs, but will likely finish far down or last in our district and face somebody like Carthage in the 1st round.
  3. [Hidden Content] I think Silsbee will come out ready to play after last year.
  4. I guess we should have had Hamm running track if he's faster than Denton. I don't really care how fast you think Hamm is... I can't seem to recall him beating anybody on a long run to the endzone, ever. We're really missing the speed of kids like Denton, Baker, Draper, and Morris.... any of which would smoke Hamm. Kid has a rocket arm and cinder block feet. Good runner, doesn't shy away from contact. He's a gamer. I think he's awesome. I was just talking speed, and he doesn't have it.
  5. I get tired of the “Team A has more penalties than Team B, therefore the officiating was bad” line of thinking. There will always be bad calls and missed calls.
  6. The Cards will find a way to get it done. Go Cards!!!!
  7. I think LiCkeM has clinched a spot with their 2-0 start.
  8. All jokes aside, I’ve never seen Ply before Friday. Honeycutt didn’t seen to have as many touches (he was shoring up the secondary) compared to previous weeks. Hamm runs hard but just doesn’t have the breakaway speed that we’re used to seeing from multiple kids out of the backfield. The bears were definitely watching for the qb to sweep after seeing us gouge people with it a few times already this year. That one got us nowhere on friday. Ply looks like he has what it takes and gives an idea what to expect for the next couple of years.
  9. Same here.... the Bears came to play, no doubt. That D-line looked monstrous.
  10. I haven’t heard anybody say... it didn’t look bad from 24 rows up. They just iced him and Tims’ ankles. No air casts or anything of the sort.
  11. It didn’t help that we lost Baker and Lara... our two leading rbs going out had a lot to do with holding us to 14, also. With those two leaving the game and Denton being out, it’s amazing that we put 41 up. Dubois can coach ‘em up.
  12. I’m almost certain. They beat us in 2014 in overtime in Cleveland for their only win in this district since the February 2014 realignment.... before last night.
  13. It all depends on who all is suited out next week. The cupboard is bare, my man.
  14. It didn’t hurt for y’all that we lost Baker and Lara. That #28 took his first snaps that I’ve paid attention to tonight. The loss of Tims on defense was a big one tonight, too. I looked up one time and one of our offensive guards was in the secondary on defense. The last kid kicking off is a d-lineman in his first game back from breaking his arm. I’ve never seen him kick before. That’s why we were going for two. It wasn’t strategy. Good game Bears. How’s it feel to be alone atop the district? Nice work, and good for you LCM17... you’ve been like Moses in the wilderness. Enjoy the ride, Amigo.
  15. 41-41 with :38 left in the half after LCM misses an xp. Hell of a game.
  16. And for the second week in a row we get consecutive false starts while our band plays after the half while we’re on offense.
  17. Ugh. We were in a position to put y’all to bed. The game marches on.
  18. Maybe it was the drive, lol. It almost looks like Cleveland might have been a little tougher than I gave them credit for.
  19. LCM Band won this time around. Wasn’t even close. Where’s the fans, Lcm17?
  20. Looks like Cleveland is about to pick up their first district win since 2014. Good luck in 5A, boys!
