Gold Cup going on...lots of good soccer on USA plays Sunday in the quarterfinals

No

Ashly is good people...tough to make a good living doing local news, tough to make a good living writing for the local newspaper, nearly impossible to make a good living covering local sports online..in the end everyone suffers because there's no one left to cover local sports properly Happy for him and the students at Hardin-Jefferson ISD will benefit greatly from him being there

They were rotating two at the State Tournament so figured at least at the time it was still an open competition...guess if one isn't eligible that makes it pretty obvious lol

This is Silsbee's year to be honest..they should be at AT&T Stadium IMO...they return maybe the best player in the state...plenty of experience at in the trenches....lots of other offensive weapons..just gotta settle on a QB

Top5 5 IMO Silsbee, Cuero, Jasper, Hamshire-Fannett, WOS Dont trust Connally and Bellville loses a lot

WOS looked good at State 7on7, much more organized and disciplined and honestly thought their kids handled adversity better than a year ago when one thing went wrong things went downhill fast

Correct An athlete may attend up to 90 minutes of sport specific skill instruction per day in addition to the strength and conditioning session. However, A student-athlete shall only attend a maximum of 60 minutes per day of sport specific training in a given sport.

Small sample size but I think we see where this is going...maybe I talk to a few coaches and know a little something on occasion lol

This is from an OC in 4A D2 in Region 4

This is from an athletic trainer lol

I'm actually surprised by a lot of these responses I just assumed coaches would jump on the chance to practice more lol

This is a text from a 4A D1 head coach in Region II who graduated from Columbia..incredibly smart guy "I think that most upper level coaches would tell you that they would practice as much as possible, as often as possible. It's the 'ole "if your trucks not in the parking lot, someone is out working you." BS. Given the current 1hr summer guidelines, we don't need two-a-days. I would be up for starting a week earlier or lengthening the non contact/non padded parts of preseason. Good friends at the college level still see a lack of fundamentals from high school kids. And with 10 days from "Hello" to first scrimmage in August, TXHSFB coaches don't spend enough full team time on fundamentals. Low Socieoeconomic schools don't get the benefit of summer practices. Most of my kids are working. I won't get them full time til August. The rich get richer."

Here's a text from a 4A D1 head coach in Region III attachment was too big so could not paste the screen shot "No way. It is not needed anymore. Football has become almost year around. It has taken some of the luster of fall camp away. I loved back in the day, when kids showed up to fall camp like it was Christmas Day. Kids haven't done any football since mid to late May, and fall camp got here was exciting. With the spring, then straight into to summer, we get plenty of ball. We have even tapered back some in the summer with skills. Especially becomes year around when you play til Christmas. You get January thru March to focus on some weaknesses in off season, a little break from ball. Then April hits and you are back doing ball again til Christmas."
