Not saying it should. I said I agree but that it is a shame. Like I said poor decision as far as location.

As much as I agree, I still feel it's a shame to have such a nice field with such a bad surface as it has been. Poor decision originally on the location. Too bad it couldn't have been built up by the pond.

Great news. And of course it's private, even though I know we are all curious.

Watching what was a live feed from Lumberton ledger where they backed off before life flight arrived out of respect for the situation. Praying for all.

Mike was ejected with the score still in single digits for both teams. College Park took the lead 9-6 when he was ejected. I was sitting at the scorers table. Not sure what was tehe case on the first tech , heard the same thing. But the second was BS if Michael said anything else to the ref it was well before the tech was called. Michael was walking towards the scorers table with the ref behind him. The ref was watching just waiting to call that second one. Michael had his hands up in the air walking away but kept jesturing and shaking his head. He got at least halfway back to our side before it was called.

I Don't know yearly costs for either but I do know that the initial cost for turf is way up there. I would love to see us have turf in Silsbee but the students education is primary and if there are not enough extra funds for turf the unfortunately we must do without.

Ahh sounds like getting the offers may not be the concern.

If you really read my remark the way it was intended it was directed at the other participant in this thread thinking he was in 8th grade...like I stated I don't think many offers would be coming for a 16 year old 8th grader!

I doubt there will be much of a chance for that game to be scheduled due to the scheduled games being mostly if not entirely the same as last year. Not sure of open spots but I will say this to every basketball fan in the area. Whatever the date is, if the game is still on the schedule like I was told it will be, you need to be in the Tiger gym on the night College Park comes to town to see Quentin Grimes. You definitely will not regret it.

Somehow I think those offers would be pretty limited if that was the case!

16 as a 8th grader.......

On receiving a scholarship to play for North Platte Community College!!

All it takes is one voice.........

Geeeeeeez.......

OF wouldn't know how to properly utilize them!!!

One tournament will be different...other than that not sure.

Our 4A district might make things more interesting in another sport, if that came true.

Don't know much about cy falls but I know my Tigers will battle. The one question that will have to be answered for us this year will be who steps up and plays the big guy down low to keep Barnes Out of foul trouble and give him some rest.

I see your points, I have thought about rankings in various soorts through the years. I have my opinions sure but other than postings on here and the little bit I see elsewhere I really don't have much to go on most schools as I really only see the schools that play Silsbee. Especially on the football side. I see a few more usually in basketball but still nowhere near enough to rank the schools outside of the area 4A teams. I wouldn't mind participating but it would take more effort than I or most realize.

Definitely more coverage now, my only point is I would have thought there would have been at least a little more back then.

I will say it's nice to see some coverage at all anymore. I can remember commenting a few years back when HJ and Silsbee met in the regional finals 3 times in just a few years that there was basically no coverage in the paper.

I would like to see it but wonder if turf is really the answer. The rain water still has to go into the ground and that ground is the problem.....low area thhat holds water. They had to have picked that field site just for the hill on the home side. They could have put the stadium up by the pond or even over where the parking lot is in front of the baseball field. Instead it in a wet area.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Sophomore Braylon Bush and Juniors Jordyn Adams and Devon McCain upon receiving offers from Lamar today.

Congratulations!!!
