Was wondering if anyone had Hemphill's record? I remember they were in several local Toruney's here before District started.

LOL

Both Baytown schools are playing well this Year.

Oh i know. I was just seeing what everyone's thoughts were on a top 10 at this point. We've had some good ones!

It's hard to say, i thought their QB was back but i think he graduated.

I watched it yesterday and felt the same... :oops:

Well the deal is our producers here at Channel 6 won't let but 2 besides the Coach on the set.

The Silsbee Tigers will be on Channel 6 tonight on the Sports show at 10:15.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission has adopted new hunting and fishing regulations that include changes in laws for catching flounder, tarpon, tripletail and black drum, as well as harvesting alligators on private land. There are also additional changes in special buck harvest regulations in 40 East and Central Texas counties that will take effect on Sept. 1, according to Steve Lightfoot with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. One of the big concerns for many fishermen in East Texas centered on bow fishing for catfish. A couple of game wardens I've talked with say they have had plenty of anglers voice their concerns that archers would put a dent in the catfish population - especially at night, when lots of catfish move up to the shallows. Because of that concern, Lightfoot said the commission legalized bow fishing for catfish on an experimental basis for one year. There are three new regulation changes that will effect saltwater fishing. The most significant change, for anglers on the upper Texas coast, has to do with tripletails. This odd looking fish, that tastes so great, has reached game fish status. As of Sept. 1, anglers can only keep three a day with a minimum possession limit of 17 inches. Lightfoot said this law is similar to what other states have. The idea is to allow female tripletails to reach reproductive maturity. It's basically the same concept that has been used for years with minimum size limits on speckled trout and reds. The idea is to let them spawn at least once prior to being caught and kept. The tarpon tag, costing $120 per license year, will be done away with. The replacement option is to make it illegal to keep any tarpon under 80 inches. If you catch one over 80 inches it can be brought in for state record consideration. The current state record tarpon weighed 210 pounds and was 86.25 inches long. This new option will allow us to bring in a potential state record tarpon without having to buy a tag. Lightfoot said there is a similar change with black drum. The new regs will allow anglers to keep one black drum longer than 52 inches per day. Flounder will get some protection from giggers that were taking advantage of the daily limit. The daily limit is 10 per day. But if you were gigging them at night you could legally take a limit before midnight, and another after midnight. The new law will make a daily limit of 10 the possession limit with a recreational license. There are new alligator hunting regulations outside of the 22 counties in Southeast Texas where alligators have traditionally been hunted, said Lightfoot. The new law will allow for a recreational season from April 1 to June 30, during which alligators may be taken on private property under a general hunting license, according to Lightfoot. The bag limit is one alligator per person per year. The use of firearms will be legal. However, firearms can't be used on public waters. Additionally, hunters upon harvest would be required to complete and submit to TPWD a hide-tag report and purchase a department-issued alligator hide tag at a cost of $20. Regulations in the 22 Southeast Texas counties will remain unchanged, according to Lightfoot. Many East Texas counties will have new regs protecting bucks. The new bag limit for next season in certain Piney Woods counties will be two "lawful" bucks. Only one of those can have an inside spread greater than 13 inches. Lightfoot said that according to state wildlife biologists this is the result of antler restriction regulations currently in effect in 21 counties in the Oak Prairie region that have been effective in improving the age structure of the buck herd, increasing hunter opportunity, and encouraging landowners and hunters to become more actively involved in better habitat management. "Under the regulation, a lawful buck is defined as any buck having at least one unbranched antler or an inside antler spread of at least 13 inches," said Lightfoot. East Texas counties affected by this regulation include: Nacogdoches, Panola, Rains, Red River, Rusk, Sabine, Houston, San Augustine and Shelby.

The Causeway Bait and Tackle shop, located at the base of the Causeway Bridge at Sabine Pass, is going to be history real soon. What Rita didn’t destroy a bulldozer will within the next few days, according to owners Herb and Sherry Schwarznau. The building has been there for 30 years. They plan to rebuild with a metal building and be open for business within the next couple of months. Robert Sloan/The Enterprise The weekend forecast is about as good as it gets across the entire state with morning lows in the mid 60s capped with afternoon highs in the mid 80s. Winds are forecast to be south to 10 knots today, and anywhere from 10 to 20 knots through Sunday. Crappie fishing on both Rayburn and T-Bend is on fire with lots of fish being caught in the grass. The best areas to pinpoint on Rayburn are off extended points with stair-stepped grass, according to guide Bill Fondren. "I think the crappie will stay up on the grass for another week or so before they move out to the brush piles," said Fondren. "Right now, you don't want to fish any deeper than 8 feet." The hot bite at Rayburn is on 2-inch Wedgetail Minnows in white or white/chartreuse. Another top lure is a ¼ ounce Roadrunner in white with a chartreuse bubble tail. Fondren said the crappie bite is hot one day and cold the next. Guide Jim Morris, at Cypress Cove Marina on the lower end of T-Bend, said the crappie bite there is off the charts. "It's as good as I've ever seen it," said Morris. "You can flat load a cooler with big black crappie during a day of fishing. The only problem has been the full moon. You never know what time they're going to turn on. You just have to stay after them. When they start to feed it's as many as you want to catch." Morris says tube jigs in chartreuse/black or blue/white are best. His go-to pattern is chartreuse/black. He's strolling jigs in 10 to 14 feet of water. Fondren said the bass are on the beds. He's caught them up to 9 pounds this week while working Wacky worms in 4 to 5 feet of water. Guide Mike Wheatley reports good bass action on Ribbit Frogs over grass in 4 to 7 feet of water. Best colors are baby bass and watermelon/red. Both guides report seeing bass in the shallows, but their heaviest one this week hit a frog worked on the surface. Wheatley says that's been a good pattern for solid bass in the 4- to 5-pound range. The water temperature on both lakes is anywhere from 68 to 70 degrees. Rayburn is a foot low. T-Bend is 31/2 feet low and still plenty dangerous to run in a boat. T-Bend bass are good along sandy banks in water from 3 to 6 feet deep on fluke-type baits like a U99 Reaction in watermelon/red. Morris said the spawn is about half way over. "We're seeing lots of bass along the banks and catching a few good ones shallow," he said. "But there is another very good pattern in 6 to 8 feet of water on lizards and flukes." If you're looking to catch striped bass Morris says to hit the dam at first light. That's where you can find them schooling for about 30 to 45 minutes at dawn. On the coast, the water temperature is a warm 73.6 degrees. Offshore runs might be a little bumpy through the weekend with seas running anywhere from 3 to 5 feet under winds up to 20 knots. Fishing for trout and reds along the upper Texas coast has been good. Ditto that at Lake Calcasieu. Sabine Lake guide Skip James reports good catches of reds and trout under the birds on just about anything you can throw at 'em. He's done best on Old BaySide jigs in white/chartreuse, white or shad. "It's a steady bite, but you have to stay with the birds," said James. "The trout under the birds are solid fish with quite a few running from 3 to 5 pounds." There have also been some big schools of reds working bait on the surface on the lower end of Sabine. Fishing in the pass has been slow due to muddy water and dredging activity by the LNG folks. Keith Lake Fish Pass has also been the scene of some pretty good catches of trout, reds and flounder during the past several days. Getting to those fish is a problem. The only suitable ramps are at Sea Rim State Park about 7 miles west of Sabine or off the Intracoastal canal. You need a shallow running boat to launch from the Sea Rim ramps. And you'll need a winch to get a lightweight johnboat over the rollers at the ramp on the Intracoastal canal. Another option is to launch at the Umphrey State Park ramps adjacent to the Causeway Bridge. From there you can run around the point, up the ship channel and under the bridge at the fish pass. To do that you'll need a low profile boat and a low tide. East Galveston Bay has been on one day and off the next, according to guide Jim West. "We had a couple of limit days last week on the open water, while fishing with tails in just about any color," said West. "I've been doing pretty good while wading protected water this week. But with the holiday weekend coming up that might come to an end. The best bite is definitely on tails."

I really thought BH would be the one that was going to move over here?

You don't think Huffman will do well?

OK, let's try again. Who wins this one?

Yup! Mine is Silver with red in it..

Injured HS Star Settles For $3.5 Million!!! TUCSON, Ariz. - A former high school basketball star who suffered a career-ending injury when fans tackled him at a championship game has settled lawsuits against the school district and two students for $3.5 million. Joe Kay will receive $2.9 million from the Tucson school district and $600,000 from the parents of two students involved in the mishap. Kay scored a two-handed slam dunk in February 2004 in the final minutes of a title game for Tucson High Magnet School. Fans trampled him in celebration and Kay's carotid artery was torn, causing a stroke that left him paralyzed on one side of his body. The settlement, reached in late February, was reported Thursday by the Arizona Daily Star. The parents' settlement money will come from their homeowners' insurance policies. Insurance will also cover most of the school district's settlement, said Lauren Eib, the district's director of risk management.

Last week, the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department (TPWD) Commission voted on a variety of issues we have detailed on these pages in recent months. I cannot remember a time when they voted on so many varied and far-reaching proposals at once. The issue that will most greatly affect us in Southeast Texas involves special whitetail buck harvest regulation changes in 40 counties in the eastern and central part of the state. Under the new regulation, a lawful buck is defined as any deer having at least one unbranched antler or an inside antler spread of at least 13 inches. TPWD officials reported the bag limit in the affected counties would be two lawful bucks, no more than one of which may have an inside spread of greater than 13 inches. Counties under this regulation as of Sept. 1 are: Bell, Bosque, Bowie, Camp, Cass, Cherokee, Comal (east of IH 35), Comanche, Coryell, Delta, Eastland, Erath, Fannin, Franklin, Gregg, Hamilton, Harrison, Hays (east of IH 35), Hopkins, Houston, Lamar, Lampasas, Leon, Marion, Morris, Nacogdoches, Panola, Rains, Red River, Rusk, Sabine, San Augustine, Shelby, Somervell, Titus, Travis (east of IH 35), Upshur, Williamson and Wood counties. TPWD officials said, ìantler restriction regulations currently in effect in 21 counties in the Oak Prairie ecoregion have been effective in improving the age structure of the buck herd, increasing hunter opportunity, and encouraging landowners and hunters to become more actively involved in better habitat management, according to state wildlife biologists.î In the near future, this new management principle will help create a more balanced deer herd and more opportunities for hunters to kill trophy bucks. The commission also passed some new alligator hunting regulations. They apply to counties outside of the 22 in Southeast Texas where hunters can currently bag alligators in the annual September season. From April 1 through June 30 hunters will be able to kill alligators on private property under a general hunting license. The bag limit will be one per year and hunters will not be able to shoot them on public waters. “Hunters will have to complete and submit to TPWD officials a hide-tag report and purchase a department-issued alligator hide tag at a cost of $20,†TPWD officials reported. I am glad to see increased harvest of alligators in areas where they have expanded their populations, but I think it is weird that they are allowing a three month season and the use of a general hunting license to kill alligators when we face many restrictions against killing alligators where they are most common. Southeast Texas literally has hundreds of thousands of alligators and we have more restrictions than the rest of the state. It does't make much sense to me. One thing that does make lots of sense is the commission dropping the possession limit for flounder from 20 to 10. Many giggers, particularly on the middle and lower coast, would go out around 10 a.m. and come in after midnight and were able to legally retain a two-dayís limit of flounder. In some areas this was causing stress on the resource, so seeing this regulation pass is a step in the right direction for flounder. Other regulations passes by the commission include: # Creating a minimum length limit of 80 inches in place of the current tarpon tagging requirement. This would allow retention of a potential state record tarpon, while protecting fish that fall below the current record. # Prohibiting harvest of largetooth sawfish to eliminate confusion in distinguishing between the federally-protected smalltooth sawfish # A change similar to the new tarpon rule will allow a person to keep one black drum of greater than 52 inches in length per day. # Naming tripletail (Lobotes surinamensis) a game fish and create a minimum size of 17 inches and daily bag limit of 3 fish [6 in possession]. TPWD officials said this rule is similar to what other states have adopted and, ìsince tripletail females reach reproductive maturity at about 17 inches; this would provide protection through at least an initial spawning cycle." They also agreed to allow bowfishing for catfish on an experimental basis for one year. A group had petition the commission to allow bowfishing for catfish but the commission shot that down and agreed to an experimental year of archery equipment being legal equipment to bag catfish.
