I think it starts with coaching, and having good athletes doesn't hurt. Speaking on WOS, they feed from their pee-wee leagues into a solid junior high program, then into the high school program with good coaching every step of the way. I compare it to our group.... we had good coaching at the pee-wee leagues, then nothing much to speak of until two years ago. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Our class this year (2017) played WOS's group straight up through pee-wee... very competitive. I sat in the bleachers in the 7th/8th grade and watched an army of WOS coaches drilling their kids through warm-ups while our kids were running around and doing back-bends in the end zone. I instantly realized that our kids were getting older, WOS kids were getting better. It's coaching, hard work, and parents that support the program. This is a special, special group from WOS this year. It's important to remember that WOS has tons of experience against better teams as well. At the start of this season, we had played 21 games in the last two seasons, while WOS's group had played 32 games against much better competition. That makes a big difference. 7-on-7 helps Wos out quite a bit. I mean.... there's no point in our kids participating since all we do is run. But the experience their offense gets in the offseason, plus the extra work their secondary gets during 7 on 7 helps a lot.

Edit.

I'm not going to make a call on this one. Stafford is tough and explosive. I haven't watched Carthage this year. It sounds like Carthage is peaking at the right time. Enjoy the 4th round and good luck to all.

The fact is this... people who want to see Flanigan fired are feigning outrage... everybody else doesn't give a flip.

That's weird. It's not a criminal act according to the actual code. Maybe you could enlighten us on where to find this "criminal act" as you describe it? By the way... I guess we're in trouble, too. [Hidden Content] Check out the video.

My kid got in trouble for jousting in the laundry carts using brooms for lances while wearing nothing but football helmets. I'm sure he'd just be glad if his iPhone remained his. Things have changed. Statistically speaking, something like 90% of those WB players (like the rest of American kids) have sent somebody a pic of their junk. The grown ups are a lot more disturbed by this than the kids.

In short... I know of a Dollar Store manager that set up a camera in the ladies room... he did time. There is currently the story of the Playboy "model" that snapped a pic of an older, out-of-shape woman in the locker room at the gym and posted it on instagram. The gym instance wasn't sexual, but it was an obvious violation of the other lady's privacy. Both of instances were of someone filming in a restroom or locker room, and both appear to be intentionally done to invade the privacy of the victim(s). In this case at WB, it seems clear that the coach's intent was to catch the known thief, not to film his players changing. Does anybody know if any kids were actually filmed while undressed? Or are we just wanting to destroy the coach for what he might have captured, but didn't actually? The camera was a bad idea, but I believe it's very defensible from a criminal standpoint. Keeping his job might be another story.

Thank you. It's subtle, but it's there. Intent is absolutely a requesite key. If the coach didn't have intent to violate another's privacy, no wrong has been done.

The wife's company Christmas Party is Friday. Who's getting more messed up..... Giddings or Cardinalbacker?

The only thing I can see is more proof that BC got a heckuva coach in Dubois.

Ok, here's my opinion. Not facts, just opinions based on things I've seen and read. First, I've read someplace that Coach Flannigan had already talked to admin about the problem AND had a particular kid that he suspected of being the thief. I can't verify this,and I don't know those to be facts. I'm curious if he had actually already ID'd the thief and the school declined to do anything based on a "lack of evidence." Second, not just any kid has access to the locker room. For a kid to be hanging around AFTER school and not totally out-of-place by entering the locker room, you have to assume that the kid was either an athlete or a child of a teacher or admin. It's no like some stoner could repeatedly wonder in off of the parking lot and start grabbing stuff. I recall the same situation a few years ago in Woodville. Somebody was stealing from the athletes's lockers and it eventually turned out to be one of the coaches' younger kids. I'm really curious to see whether or not it turns out to be a kid that is somehow connected (and protected) by admin over there. Once again, just an opinion, not facts.

I'd have to check, but I'm certain that BC's Zach Honeycutt had that many INTs and still ended up on the 2nd team All District. He had three against Huffman alone. I guess he got slapped, too.

Ah, the annual Silsbee crying fit that happens when Silsbee doesn't sweep All-District and the Willie Ray Smith Awards. Last year Qb Thomas was the one getting slapped in the face when passed over for the Willie Ray Smith award.

I firmly believe that coaches remember kids and their behavior as well as the plays they make. Bruce spent a large portion of our game jawing at our sideline. Not sure that stuff like that SHOULD have an effect in voting, but I'll bet it does.

Thanks for the PM, bro.

Somebody throw out a hypothetical, "just an unsubstantiated rumor, so take it with a grain of salt" explanation with full disclaimers so that we can all know what we're talking about here?

You've got to go with WOS until somebody beats them.

Stafford played a good game and earned that "w." We made a few mistakes, and they made us pay. They also made key stops when it counted. We got the ball back with practically no time left and the score at 28-31. Stafford recovered a fumble on the last play of the game to score their last 6. I was was really proud that our kids never gave up even when down by 17 in the fourth. To pull back within 3 points shows how much heart the Cards played with. Stafford's program has come long way since we rolled them in 2010 and 2011. They should be proud of themselves for tonight.

BC o-line. I think they've only given up two sacks all year. For real, though.... everybody knows what we're going to do, but our backs still get hundreds of yards each week. That's the line.

If the company I work for gets wind that I'm interviewing for the same position with our competitors.... well, I'd better hope the interview went well. Honestly, if a coach feels the need to try and get out every spring, let him go. If I was a trustee, I'd probably let BF know that if he applies for another position, I'd vote to fire him. Period. I understand wanting to coach at your alma mater or something but to carpet bomb every upgrade opening in the state each spring is a little insulting to your current employer.

We need to clean up the penalties and play a clean game... our game. If we do that, we should win.

24-19 cards at the half. Bay City to receive to start the third.

21-19 cards with 1:24 left.

Card penalties are killing their momentum. 19-14 cats with 2:27 left in the half. Bridge City ball at the cat 45.
