That is so weird, in the Softball forum the BH-FW game was 3-1 in the 5th, and postponed due to an outage. Am I understandig this right?

Will it be at GCM (instead of DP), where Game 2 is scheduled? I would think.

Play the best player "no matter what"? So if a kid that comes in self centered, disrespectful, and won't take instruction because he thinks he knows better, and gives poor effort in practice is started "no matter what" just because he has skills? What kind of message does that send? “A good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life.” ― John Wooden

It will be interesting to see who has the most playoff appearances and playoff wins over the next three years, Anahuac or Nederland. Good luck to all concerned, and I hope Anahuac (lets not forget them!) finds the right one fill their QB position. With the growth Anahuac is experiencing they should have someone on hand to step in and do real well.

A lot of the wanna-be cop killers call them that, too.

What's your take on philanderer-in-chief Bill Clinton? Have you ever expressed any outrage about what philanderer Clinton did even while in office? I don't think you have mentioned Clinton sexcapades even once, have you?

I tend to agree but what about voting, serving in the military, having an abortion.

USA will be Australia 2.0. That exactly what their government did. Now only the Australian criminals have gun. Ain't that a kick in the head.

I am not talking about parents at all. They are not in this equation. I am talking about a totally loyal 17 year old that worked for years like a maniac to become a starter on his team then at the last second a Transfer portal brings in a self promoting move in that cares little about the team and community, just showcasing himself. Reverse the roles and lets be real, a head coach would be beyond PO'ed to be demoted to 7th PE because a shiny new toy just arrived. Still, the coach could move on but like was said above, that player can't get those memories back. It would leave a bitter taste for a long time. I hate to see a kid experience that.

Hypothetical for you: I don't know if you are a coach or not, but lets say you are a head Football coach in the community you are from. You always "lived and breathed" for your community and team as a player. Later your dream comes true and you are hired as a coach. You go far beyond just being there to collect a paycheck. You really invest yourself and put in all the extra effort. You also invest by buying a home and living in your community. You build your team up, and are super excited for your fourth year as HC, thinking all the hard work you have put in is about to pay off in a big way for your program. Then, the summer before the season starts, a supposedly hot-shot coach from another area becomes available and your ISD decides to hire him to take your spot you earned because he "might be 1% better than you", although that's unproven. You are not fired, but reassigned to coach 7th grade girls tennis. Would you happily say "the best coaches coach" then?

Sorry but I don't have a kid in HS baseball. Nor did I ever have one. I was speaking in broad terms which could apply to all sports for both boys and girls. I am just communicating / discussing. No need to take a tone like that.

That should definitely be in favor of the transfer, you would have to think.

I never said anything about grades. What I did comment on is the statement "Can't get those memories back" which I agree with. If a transfer comes in and displaces a hometown kid who has worked his butt off for years with full dedication and effort to the program and earned his starting spot, then yes I don't think that's a good thing at all. It would leave a very bitter taste for years I would think. So is it worth it? If winning at all costs is the only thing that matters to you, then maybe you do bench the loyal kid that finally earned his spot and start the transfer who might have arrived to use the program solely for self promotion. Then what happens if the transfer doesn't equate to significantly more wins for you? Or he even causes trouble? Your loyal Senior player who you benched "Can't get those memories back". Loyalty matters to me but maybe not to some others.

BH advanced. I don't have the score but they did beat G. Ball.

BH advances to Round 3 with a 1-0 win over a tough Fulshear team in game 2.

BH rallies and wins 6-5 in 7! What a game!

Fulshear pulls ahead 5-2 after 5.

Tied 2-2 after 4.5.

2-0 BH after 2.

BH dropped the 1st game against Angleton 2-1, then blasted them in game 2 and 3. 2nd round series against Fulshear starts tonight on the road. BH has a really good Sophomore pitcher and a few Seniors leading the team. Not a lot of depth though, in my opinion. The hitting can be good but its a bit inconsistent.

That's the thing, transfers come in and ultimately displace a hometown guy that paid his dues all up through the system from 7th grade on. I bet it leaves a real sour taste that will last a lifetime at least to some degree.
