PNG and Nederland should play each other for preseason and the regular season. Double Madness. 

Lost in all of the hoopla was the fact that it was a very sad day as two longtime coaches passed away.
Andrew Washington, former Central head coach and longtime assistant at Beaumont-Charlton-Pollard, Central and most recently at Kelly, passed away on Monday.

Highly unlikely against all 3, maybe the first game, but i don't see it for the other 2, unless they just annihilate Png and catch people eye. 

PNG and Nederland should play each other for preseason and the regular season. Double Madness. 

So now we play all 3 ranked teams in this district. Great!

If Covid dont screw up the season this could be one of BH's best teams. The Senior and Junior class has some very talented young men that i have been lucky enough to watch/coach through thier carears. These two classes just know how to win and i cant wait to see what they do this year. Some may think we are down a QB, but they have a couple of good ones to choose from. Pair that with 2 game changing recievers and a Junior RB that can flat run over or around you and a stout O-line . Defense is going to be a beast lead by a King (Bradley) with most of the line back and solid corners in the secondary while welcoming a new hard hitting LB in Gigout and the D will complement the offense.  The BH/Crosby and BH/PNG games are going to be awesome! 

Should be criminal. It’s way more than contempt. 

I think this judge should be forced to recuse himself. Judges are not supposed to be interested parties in their cases, and this one has turned himself into the ONLY interested party in this case, as the defense and the prosecution both support dismissing it. And, even after the higher court orders him to dismiss the case he refuses to do so? I hope he gets sanctions. 

If it is against the rules (and I have heard that it is against the rules at both stadiums) why don't the school administrators police it better? It seems like an easy thing to control. All they have to do is kick one person out, and the problem would be 99% solved for the rest of the students, at least for several years.

Fukushima - An older couple was evacuated from the Fukashima reactor incident.  They weren't super close but within an evacuation zone.  The risks of radiation exposure were elevated within their zone but not incredibly high. They used the "better safe than sorry" card.  They relocated to Hong Kong, burned through their savings, too old to be competitive in the job market, too poor to just retire.  They were allowed to go back home for one day and night.  Once home, the wife refused to leave and the husband found her dead of a suicide the next morning.  This kind of story became common for people from that area.  The data suggests that the deaths from suicide, poverty, and stress were significantly higher than the deaths that could be attributed to any radiation exposure within the zone.  Actions taken to protect people were actually causing greater harm.
Hatfield Rail Crash - A broken rail caused a high speed train to crash, killing 4 people and injuring more than 70.  The response was to cut the speeds while inspecting all the rail.  This caused the train volume to fall by half.  Most of these people that left the rail owned cars.  People are 12 times more likely to die in an auto accident than a rail accident.  Those people are now at a greater risk than before but those deaths will never be attributed to the train crash.
There will be consequences to acting as well as NOT acting.  When factoring in the data about school closures and mortality rates, school closures are more harmful than helpful.
So, how do we respond? - With data and evidence.  We should judge policies based upon the evidence, not the intent.  I am emailing the contacts at the UIL and the State the following links and a request to incorporate evidence into the decision to open our schools as soon as possible.

This is long enough. 

They are work mates, best friends, cousins, brother and sister in-laws, husband and wives till game week and then they are like Democrats and Republicans,  Aggies and Longhorns, X's, Indians and Dogs.

PNG & Nederland:
The rivalry is coming up on 100 years old
Easily brings in the most attendance for any rivalry game in the area (and can certainly challenge other rivalries in the state for attendance)
Back-and-forth from year-to-year
Close, intense games (almost every year) usually decided by one score
Recognized as the best rivalry in the state 2x by Texas Football magazine
 

Wow.  My disagreement over the district changing a name of a team is interpreted as support for the Confederate flag (which I don't).
Folks, Exhibit 1 as to why nothing regarding race will ever be solved has just been submitted.

I’ve actually started referring to my bicycle chain as a link drive. 

Oh boy here we go 😂😂😂

These plus Marshall, Texas High, A&M consolidated

Ennis, WF Rider, Aledo, Fort Bend Marshall......just to name a few. 

Aledo for one.

So Vidor leads at halftime 14-10.   Both defenses tighten up (and a lot of calf muscles due to the heat), and the Pirates hold on to win 21-17, against a top notched Silsbee team.
There you have it folks.  I’m giving you a cinch in the first pickums.  😂😂😂
Bonus Info, both teams make it to Regional finals.  Diddly poo, who needs Dave Campbell.

12-5a div. 2 is ranked more highly than I would have expected. It's definitely a meat grinder though. Not the best teams in the state, but overall well-balanced. Hard to predict who will win district. 

Not from our area but Odessa Permian and Midland Lee was considered the best rivalry in Texas at one point. Met 3 times in the playoffs the best of them was 84 with Permian winning 15-14.

I have to give kudos to Silsbee.   Their Non-District schedule doesn’t have any powder puffs.   Vidor, Jasper, Nederland and Pleasant Grove.   They’ll be ready for District after that.  

It seems to be effective against teams that don’t see it very often, but in district play against teams that see it every year not so much.

I agree.  Pleasant Grove runs a Slot T type, but they sling the ball.   First requirement for a Slot T QB is his ability to run.   Finding one that can do that and pass decent is the real trick.

So like 4 plays instead of all 9?
🤣🤣🤣
