No comment Soulja?

Saw that on Smoaky's site. Dumb idea and i don't think it will ever happen!

From Smoaky site sShould the High School Football Season Move to the Spring and Baseball Move to the Fall? The Football Trainers Association is advocating delaying the start of two-a-day practices until the second week of fall practice. Teams would go the 1st week once a day in shorts and two-a-days in shorts. It is rumured many experts would like to see the season start date moved to the end os September insteadof the end of August. In order to do this teams would have to eliminate a few games per year. It really would only effect the teams that make long runs in the playoffs. It is hot and in the years to come, it is onlly going to get much worse it's been said. One group has even suggested moving Football to the Spring and Baseball to the Fall. I'm not sure how well that would work out up North. Also, what impact would moving the High School Season have on the players going to play in college? Should their seasom be moved too? Would the world stop if Football was not played in the fall? The fear driving this is Football players are going to start suffering heat strokes and possible death at rates never seen before!

Bump

Certainly will look good!!!

Can't wait to find out!!

At Kelly but could be moved.

Who takes it?

Vidor has to feel good about all the starters back!

WB vs. Nederland

49-28 was the final last time they played.

Predict the unpredictable and downright insane Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader

Predict the unpredictable and downright insane Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader Hey sports fans, it has been awhile since I wrote a sports opinion so why not now? And it seems each time I do write one of these someone ends up angry and upset. Instead I would like to have a little fun and make up some predictions in light of everyone worked up over Dave Campbell’s Texas Football and the future-reading it does. Here are some predictions for District 20-4A. • Vidor will win the district title. However, the team will have to give up six wins for having 12 men on the field. It seems officials thought coach Jeff Mathews was a Pirates player when celebrating on the field. By the way, I’m rooting for Vidor to win district and you should too. • Lumberton will celebrate its third trip to the playoffs in three years. Coach Alvin Credeur gets a new job (or two) as mayor, police chief, manager of McDonalds and anything else he wants to do. • PN-G opens its new stadium only nobody can see the game. You mean to tell me after all that work and months of waiting someone forgot to plug in the lights? Four news agencies put in a FOI to learn what happened because nothing else is going on to report. • Nederland makes the playoffs, again, and voters remind everyone they did it on a grass field instead of turf. A bond issue is soon to be put to election for $80 million to build a new concession stand and bathrooms. In a stunning twist, it passes. • Beaumont Central makes the playoffs and wins the state title. Fans are seen in the stadium holding signs saying “Who cares what Dave Campbell’s magazine says.†It will be the second year in a row the Jaguars defy all predictions. • Beaumont Ozen misses the playoffs when a late-jump shot hits the front of the iron with two seconds left in the game. Opposing fans rush the court and....ohhhh football. Nevermind. • Livingston is hard to joke with since they are about what four hours away? Is anyone from Livingston even reading this column? They will miss the playoffs when they get lost trying to come down to Southeast Texas for a game and have to forfit. Bad decision by the UIL. • Fans at LC-M are excited about Randy Crouch and for good reason. There cannot be any jokes made here about that. He will turn them around. Bears fans are so excited they switched from BOJO to MOBO - “Moody Officially Bolted Out.†Why haven’t there been riots in the street? Brian Huckabay What a great hire by the Orangefield Independent School District. It has been far too long since Orangefield was this excited about football. The fan base it seems to be excited and I am sure the players and coaches feel the same way. I remember covering the team the last time the Bobcats were in the playoffs and I hope another trip to the postseason is right around the corner. It is hard to watch such a supportive community struggle in the most popular sport in Texas. It has never been for lack of trying either. The Bobcats are always one of the fiestiest teams in Southeast Texas and never scared of a challenge. Huckabay could be exactly what Orangefield needs to get back to form. I can only imagine how much more exciting than it already is if Bridge City and Orangefield were to play and a win meant the team was set up to go to the playoffs.
