Aggravated Assault with Deadly Weapon

Pretty sure that charges are already filed and included $50k bond.

Mark me down as someone who is stating very clearly that they were mimicking the imagery of what is portrayed by artists on Death Row Records. You have also specifically stated that the kids were mimicking the imagery by shooting a “video with guns”. Like videos by artists on “Death Row Records”. NOT A SINGLE PERSON said anything about the shooting being INTENTIONAL.

You definitely "hope/wish" he is trying to build his "OWN" legacy at PNG. If he goes to SLC and wins big his "legacy" will take care of itself.

Understood. Putting the "spotlight" on the offender raises uncomfortable questions. What do you suppose the shooter was actually "doing" when the gun went off?

Yeah, anywhere else where a player shoots another player it would be a “different tune”. FYI, If it were most places, kids would not be shooting each other.

A lot more than three states make shooting people a crime. $50k bond, there might be more to how much of an “incident” this situation is. Particularly if alcohol is involved.

I guess we will need to wait for more information to make and judgement one way or another.

You have no idea if the “Death Row moniker” had anything to do with it. One thing for certain, it is a settled and indisputable fact that the kids were doing and portraying the absolute exact same thing that were done by Death Row artists in their videos. Still quite a bit of information to be found out on the incident.

No doubt. Increased scrutiny when players are shooting each other as well. A lot of programs out there where players never shoot each other.

The defense could have definitely been named "Sunshine and Daffodils" but instead they were named "Death Row". Coincidentally, there was an incident where the kids happened to be portraying the specific imagery associated with "Death Row" and one of the players got shot and one got arrested (also imagery associated with Death Row). When drastic and violent events happen with your program, you can expect newfound scrutiny. Its all fun and game till someone gets shot.

The SETX 4AD1 district contains 3 schools who "opt up" specifically to avoid the 4AD2 schools in SETX. 9-4AD2 is one of the tougher districts in the state. I suspect that WOS has a better historical pedigree than any school you have named other than Carthage (perhaps Gilmer).

Every week is different.

Understood. I think LaVega, Cuero, Silsbee, Sealy, or Sinton could all beat any of those teams you mentioned.

WOS was well above "average". WOS would have lost to Carthage or PG. No other teams in Region 2 or anywhere else were better than WOS. You do not make it to the State Championship being "average".

I didnt "notice" until I read a headline about a SOC player shooting a teammate. What does "Death Row" have to do with? Anything to do with certain types of imagery? Like rap videos with guns?

PG played Carthage close. Carthage ran through every other team. Not sure which school you think is great other than Carthage and PG.

Everyone has "catching up to do" to Carthage. PG being the closest this year. No one else in Region 2 is anything special at the moment.

Carthage is a great team, and the program is unprecedented in High school Football history. PG is likely the 2nd best team in the state. WOS is "as good" or "better" than any other 4AD2 team in the state.

But you got the big guns back. Should be hard to handle.

Great season WOS and great job of representing 9-4A D2. WOS likely to be even better next year.

"1 dimensional offenses" work pretty good at the college level.

Pretty sure his son will be the new HC. That was the plan when he took the job. Unless something changed and the decided they want to go a different route.

I have always heard that the original plan was for his son to take over after they got it started. I suspect that is the current plan (unless something changed).

It definitely is good for kids to have something to do but it is irrelevant for Varsity programs.
