Clearly, they are having more move-outs than move-ins.  Except for basketball players.  Coincidence?

If they have so many move-ins, why are they dropping to 3A?

I don't get it.  You asked for a list of players who were pulled from other programs.  I went to the trouble to find a list of those kids for you, and now, I am accusing Yates of cheating? 

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1227506" timestamp="1338477865"] Letcher Ellis sat out (played JV) in 2011, played this year....He was NOT ruled INELIGIBLE, he had to sit due to the transfer rules...Why do you all WANT Yates to fail?  ??? [/quote]  I don't care one way or another.  In fact, I don't think the kid should have had to sit out.  If he wanted to play at the best program in the state, he wasn't getting paid, and his parents were willing to move, i don't see the problem.  However, I am just pointing out that Yates does pull players from other programs.

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1227499" timestamp="1338477204"] Key word: PULLED FROM AMOTHER SCHOOL TO PLAY AT YATES....These kids transferred with the blessings of their parents, as evidenced by UIL rulings....Try again.. ::) [/quote]  What does "pulled from another school" mean to you?  By the way, the UIL ruled against Letcher Ellis.  He had to sit a year because he moved for athletic purposes.

I hate to knock it but I have been around a few kids who do it and I frankly haven't seen much difference.

Wow!  Had no idea that Roy was unsigned.

Who cares?  I was somewhat interested in hearing about the best players in the area for next year.

[quote name="whsalum" post="1227051" timestamp="1338343612"] If you have a small aluminum boat there used to be one in south county called Spindletop bayou that had some really good bass/crappie and blue gill fishing.You had to have a smaller aluminum boat to pull over a set of rollers.I haven't heard anything about it in several years but it was really good years ago. [/quote]  I used to fish there.  Caught my only 10 lb bass in that lake.  Heard the salt water wiped it out during Ike. 

Launch at the Causeway leading to Louisiana.  From there. you can go north and try to find birds in the lake(around Bluebuck point if you have a Sabine map) or go south and fish the lighthouse cove area.  Not too hard to find.  You can't miss the lighthouse and the dozen or so boats that will be in the same area on a weekend.

Brook may be down this year.  I guess it's a little early to say, but numbers don't look good.  that said, I don't know why anybody would think that local 4A teams(or 3A)  would have handled Brook over the last several years.  Was Ned that much better than Central?

I am hearing that Brook  only has about 80 kids in spring practice.  Sounds like the new transfer program is about to end the run of Forest Park...I mean west Brook.

I have a boat, but still no partner.

I like the approach as long as they are not ripping away with two strikes.  Gotta put it in play.

[quote name="indianforever" post="1224992" timestamp="1337702206"] i was wondering if it would be to small cause i dont wont to put my young boys in harms way....i just wont to make sure before i try it [/quote]  That's plenty big for anything you will face in Sabine in reasonably decent weather.

Absolutely.  Sabine is plenty deep in most parts of the lake.  You see boats much larger than that running around.  Or were you thinking it might be too small?    ???

Last night. [Hidden Content]

There are fish everywhere.  I did pretty good along the Louisiana jetty.  Dang Spanish are thick.  Be prepared to get cut off a lot.  A friend fished the outside of the Texas jetty and caught 22 trout.    Another at lighthouse cove caught 27 between 3 guys and a fourth caught fish under schooling birds near blue buck.  It is time to get out there.  And thanks, 643, for the heads up!

Headed for the jetties.  Report from this morning said lots of mackeral.  if nothing, I'll try the lake.  Friend with a guide caught several keepers under scattered birds this morning.

I put my 17 ft boat in there once.  Don't recall any problems.
