The real question is this.  Did friendswood do anything to slow their team, such as going with weaker pitchers, subs, stop running bases, etc?  If not, they should be ashamed.  I bet they did all of those things.  Now, what did yates do to slow their team?  They already admitted that they did nothing except to try and run the score up.    Maybe we will hear from someone from Friendswood.  I can tell you that if they stole one base after it was about 20-0, then the coach should be reprimanded.

[/quote] Didn't go.  Buc volunteered, but I didn't see his message until too late.  My son was supposed to go with me, but he decided to go with his girlfriend to the fair.I think I have lost my fishing partner.

Basketball games usually come down to the last couple minutes and that's when coaching kicks in. Baylor was outcoached in the end. [/quote] Probably.  But that charge call against Acie with Baylor up two was huge.  The center should have been gone with Baylor up 4 or 5.

Bears getting screwed by officials

I need someone to drift the reef this evening.

[quote name="PhatMack19" post="779634" timestamp="1269112371"] Baylor's road just got a little easier with 'Nova losing.  They now have to beat 11 seed Old Dominion and then 10 seed St Mary's to make it to the Elite 8. [/quote] Hard to believe St Mary's beat Nova.  They looked so slow and unathletic against Baylor.

I like the guys at Watercraft etc on College in Beaumont.

Some of us are not even sure where Chester is.  North of Woodville somewhere?

I am always happy when a team from Texas does good. Even on the college level. Congrats to the Yates team because they do represent the great state of Texas. I think people have not responded because they are loyal to southeast Texas mainly the golden triangle. That is a normal response. Area's only support area teams. Do you think if a golden triangle team was number 1 in the country that people from houston would get on here and support that team? I don't think so. Normal reaction. [/quote] You missed the whole point. I was speaking on the criticism...but oh well. People are quick to criticize but slow to congratulate. [/quote] Congrats.  Probably never would have happened without that 135 point win.        ::)

[quote name="chesteralltheway6" post="782279" timestamp="1269612231"] yeah whoever wrote this post has to be a freshman really what freshman start on a good quality team [/quote] Chuck Guillory, Westbrook(although I "guess good quality team" could be debated.

Maybe best game I've ever seen!

[quote name="JoesBros" post="781441" timestamp="1269459047"] These rankings are based on what each team has done in the previous week. True West Brook might of beaten Nederland and Bridge City but that was two or three weeks ago. Irrelvant now. [/quote] irrelevant?  Really?

[quote name="baseball2468" post="781440" timestamp="1269458948"] Hows west brook ranked so low when they have beaten nederland and bridge city, and could easily beat any team in the area? [/quote] Man, Brook can't easily beat any team in this area.   When they have a good pitching night, they are competitive in this area.  I don't think they would finish higher than 3rd in the local 4A district.Give them a couple of years and they should be pretty good, but they are a young group, especially pitching wise.

[quote name="KHSAlum400" post="780692" timestamp="1269364154"] I've saw how this coach has been criticized throughout the season and it speaks volumes on how this team was able to accomplish a MAJORGgoal they set at the beginning of the season. They wanted to be #1 in [u]THE NATION[/u], not Texas, not the Southeastern Region, but the Nation. To all the naysayers and criticizers, what can you say now? [/quote] When do they hand out the national trophy?

[/quote] Maybe you should concern yourself with Westbrook and not Orangefield. ???  Just a question of course. Orangefield will be fine. [/quote] Oh, I am aware and readily admit Brook's shortcomings.  But from what I read on here, I expect powerhouse numbers coming out of OF.  Good luck.  I hope they go to state.

Hmmmm,,,, still wondering about OF's hitting.

You never get to see enough of the guys from other schools, but Christine Michael was as good as I have ever watched.

Man I suck.  But not as bad as Bullets!        ;D

Can Baylor make the sweet 16?    They should be favored against Old Dominion.

Champions in what?  Give us a little info.

I learned this this hard way, just as you described but I was offshore on a unpublished wreck, the marker bouy WILL give your spot away specially if your bouys on the apex of the spot...  [/quote] yes......now I have GPS.....but back then it was an aluminum boat and markers  ;D A displayed shotgun works well to   :D [/quote] I don't think it matters much when the fish are on the deeper reef.  They might be there for two or three passes, but they seem to move as a group.  All you have to do, when they are on the reef, and lots of boats are around, is watch to see who has bent rods and stay in that area. Do you guys remember an older boat that always put up homemade sails so tha he would drift faster?  That guy fished all the time.  he would just start sailing, and put out about 5 rods off the back of his boat.  He would make long drifts, dragging artificials across that reef.  he used to catch a lot of fish that way.

The Big East sucks!

Man, Baylor must have had 12 turnovers in the first half.  That ain't gonna cut it.

Looks like I'm going 0 fer 3    :(
