I like this suggestion, I made the latter part of it earlier this year concerning a certain twitter incident. I wish I would have thought to let the player make a choice like this.

Like was said previously we live in a video society these days. You can't walk out your door without the threat of being taped, and a large percentage of that taping is done by kids. So if you do the action these days you have to be prepared to be taped and ridiculed and pay the price. And by high school age you are very aware of this. Sure it was a childish mistake but a slap on the wrist does nothing.

Whether the player was hurt or not, whether it was seen or not, whether it was in retaliation or not.......... none of these things should matter! I haven't looked at the video but if it is as obvious as has been stated then this player should be punished severely. Yes even the rest of the season or maybe even all year. Not only is the action stupid and deplorable, it was done while representing his school and community. The problem today is we too often want to take the it was only one time attitude. That's why kids don't learn from these actions they think they will or they actually only get a slap in the wrist for them. Sure I would hate to see a student lose their year for such an act but these acts must have severe consequences.

Remembering Smith, just brings to mind Darrel MacArthur and Anthony Allen. Those three lead their teams every year and there were some battles between them.

How many of those teams in that district feel they owe the Mustangs payback for a past loss??

I like the 2 poll setup myself. I can see 3 polls getting more attention for some of the smaller schools in those two polls. Maybe that would encourage some more people from those schools to post.

Look for the Tiger defense to make a statement in this one too much speed . While the offense keeps rolling.

Pool play is the answer but the excuse errr reason given against it last year I believe was it would be too many games. Definately more inviting for Coaches.

I hope you are right about my Tigers but that first round will be a tell all matched up with that tough district we have to face. Looking at the standings that were posted last week, the winner of our district would have to face Carthage in the first round, granted that may change.

We are still waiting on that predicted HF state championship!!!

Officiating is a big complaint almost anywhere!!(especially when you don't win)

Can't really argue with those rankings from our standpoint. Defending state champs with lots back on top and then us... Hopefully we will prove to be on the top at the end of the year!! one question where is HJ.....they get moved to that district and Huffman is ranked and they aren't....they will have something to prove!!

I remember him very well. I was still in high school and remember watching the news after we played Kirbyville. One of the highlights was Butch breaking through the line and getting into the secondary. All Butch had between himself and the goal line was our safety. All he had to do was through a fake one way and go around the safety to the end zone. It looked on the highlight like he looked at the safety and smiled and just ran right over him without slowing down. That was a play that I didn't let that safety forget.

May be by Calvins shoulder is still lingering at least from the lcm game.

If we r ok at rb this week I think we win by 14-20 pts if both rbs are still pretty banged up it will be tough.

Have been impressed a lot by how the defense is coming along. A lot of good youngsters making plays. And I like our offensive productivity and the fact that we can control the clock at least keep it running better than we have in recent times. Only thing I noticed last night with those youngsters was one of them that played running back for a couple plays looked like he had some Central blood in him or something, one play he was trying to run sideways!!! No really coming together nicely! Kicking game is far better. We just need to get a little better in that one area And we will be right where these kids have been working to get all summer.

Actually our first possession last night ended with a fumble by Adonis.

The way the Tigers defense has been playing, I think they will do good against BC especially if BC has no passing game. My concern is we haven't showed consistency throwing the ball and we have Adonis who went out last night with what looked like an ankle injury and Calvin with a shoulder issue. Calvin still gutted out a big game last night but had to leave the field a few times favoring that shoulder. If those two aren't able to play a big part it may be a tough offensive night. I do think my Tigers will pull it out just interested to see how things fall.

Yes and a dependable passing game might have opened it up a little better to score or even have produced a score. Remember the execution point I think it was this game where I heard or read that we dropped two that could have been tds.

Yes but how many of those red zone trips were products of the defense?

Last year we didn't have a defense so anyone with a good offense could do just that. But these kids are wanting to go all the way. Somewhere in the playoffs especially you will need a passing game that is respected enough to,open up the field for the running game. We have the threats, especially now with Lowe back. We just have to put it together. Look I in no way want to say we would have been even close to beating WOS this year but last year we were right there until the end even with our defense giving up,lots of points because we could run or throw. If we had more of a pass threat this year at least we should have been able to move the ball a little more.

Hmm knew he hurt it. I was told by a player he would be back next week.

Ok never mind I found out Izen cancelled when they found out Silsbee was coming...

They played 6 man?

And yes Soulja Navasota was killing us with that quick seam pass!! That was about the only part of their offense hat really impressed me. And yes Bruce along with Michael should be strong cases for defensive MVP but we have several doing very good jobs. And definitely Welcome Back Tre Lowe!
