took care of mine as well.......

I think etbu was being a bit sarcastic........he knows what brand of football is played over here. Dayton will be a worthy opponent, but they like the others, will not dominate this district.

Coaches are often criticised for not promoting their players to college coaches. Trust me, college coaches only listen to coaches who have the credentials and reputation for recommending top-notch candidates. Those candidates come around rarely but coaches are expected to promote their players every year. See the conflict here? Parents expect their kid to be regarded as top-notch, even when it isn't an accurate assessment. There is often a large difference between a good high school baseball player and a good college prospect. It is a no win situation. I did coach football with a guy who promoted every kid on his team including the managers and trainers! Parents loved him! College coaches ignored him, as his reputation was well known by them. He burned bridges from J.C.s to 4 year schools. I listened as college recruiters laughed about his well-meaning promotion of players. High school coaches must have a solid reputation with colleges in order to have any sway with them.

I agree with Jdawg about Vanover. I understand he and his staff were responsible for messing over Moye from Jasper. He is very fortunate that the UIL didn't come down on him for tampering with other school's athletes. Regardless, he aided in cheating a great athlete from being eligible his Jr. year. :x

trust me. The UIL will put the CIA to shame in keeping secrets. Anytimes someone claims to have realignment inside information or a "leak", don't buy it. :?

I don't think it is the Superintendent that is the issue here. The school board at PAISD is on the verge of being dismissed by the Texas Education Agency. They have been on Dr. Mackey since the day he showed up in Port Arthur. As long as those loonies continue to be elected to the school board, PAISD will be scraping the bottom of the barrel and the students and community deserve better.

Anyone from PA have a comment on this. Everything I know about this situation is what I just read in this article. I am curious as to what we don't know about this situation. :?

Bridge City, here.

This isn't Coach Stone's first rodeo. He has done this before. He uses these games to keep his hitters sharp and allows younger pitchers to get in some varsity innings without risking his normal starters. With the depth of his program, it is a good call for Indian baseball.

I understand that Briggs was "reassigned" less than a month after being assured that he was supported completely by the higher ups. Done in a totally classless manner. Reese Briggs is a class act and deserves better.

I found my way as well!

Bridge City lost their outfield fence, visitor's dugout, and pressbox. Lights are iffy as well.

Happy New Year! Now it really is January 1st! Here is to putting Rita behind us and looking forward to another great sports year!
