This is not directed at anyone in particular and is hypothetical but: mom & daddy drink and smoke weed the kids start drinking and smoking. On the internet the adults spend a lot of time on setxsports, myself included, the kids spend lots of time on twitter. It is one big cycle.

Having a rally just before the game is scheduled is not a good idea. It sends out the wrong message. I hear ithe rally is now being held at the funeral home on 16th street. I didn't know that place (funeral home) existed until a couple of years ago. I grew up right next to that location. We played sandlot football in that field where it is located.

Hand checking was used in the NBA by mostly guards who could put their hands on the opposing guard's body, slowing down his forward progress. Rules have changed and hand checking is no longer used in the NBA. I've watched Silsbee basketball for years. I first began watching the Tigers in 1969. I can remember watching a Waldo Matthews game when I was 4. I saw the great Wheatley teams of the late 60s early 70s. The Yates teams, Ft Worth Dunbar etc. They were all running and pressing teams. Opposing teams either figured out a way a strategy to beat them or they got run out of the gym. It was that simple. I have yet to see a Silsbee guard push someone in the face. They apply quick pressing defense and running offense. The other teams in their district most of the times can't keep up. There is a difference between hand checking and press defense. Teams have been using pressing defenses since the game began. If a team's guards cannot handle the press they need to work on their ball handling and passing skills.

It doesn't fit. it fits somewhere else. Back during the campaign, when Cruz and Ben Carson were still candidates an article came out stating that she is adventist. I think Ms Cruz name is Sharon, but I could be wrong.

Too much discussion about blowing out district opponents by this and that high score. They should of laid low during district because familiarity breeds contempt, jealous, & out right hate. Once they got by district the air would have cleared.

LCM knew what they were doing when they were throwing shouders into people and undercutting them while they are in the air.

Ted Cruz' wife is adventist also, js.

So why not leave their best and brightest in place to influence their own country...aren't we doing them a disservice by pulling their best here? There is probably no way to estimate how much this country has benefited from the intelligence and brain power of ethnic minorities from the 10 40 window. They have probably contributed to every high tech innovation from the past 50 years.

It goes without saying, but we're living in the age of instant communication. The internet, msg boards like this one, instagram, twitter, etc. Video is everywhere. Anyone can record anything. The ability to speak your mind is as close as a smart phone, & everyone has one, just about. i am old enough to remember when all this didn't exist. So, I can compare and contrast. You see athletes at the pro level get in trouble all the time about what they said, or for video of what they did. It is at the high school level too. Stuff you could get away with back in the day will get you in deep trouble now. I work in a public office. I am the only guy that works there. Everyone else is a woman. Many of the customers are women, from minors to very the old. There are guys that come around, state troopers, police officers, etc. But, they don't sit there all day and do what I do. I see and hear everything, & I do mean everything. Well, maybe not everything but a lot of suggestive things. 6'6" 240 lb trans, (to each his own), all types of couples, every type of ethnic group and religion you can think of. I've been cursed out more times than I can remember. Occasionally i slip up & say something I regret saying. I've spent the whole weekend reviewing in my mind something I said. People can report you to the highest levels in Austin. I work for the state, btw. But nothing happens. I've done it here too. My bad. The person let it slide, just as I've let some offensive things said to me slide. I try to learn from those mistakes and keep going. Wrapping it all up we all need to pray more. I am coming from a christian point of view. I am hoping & praying it all works out for Devon, and for the team as a whole.

Obama is gone. No one person, no one political group can solve the problems of this country or this world. Clinton couldn't. Trump won't. That's why Jesus Christ is coming back.

Then I wasn't talking to you.

What you propose doing? Put em all in one spot and nuke em? That is such an enlighted approach. I hope you know this is sarcasm.

I was thinking about going to that game. If I could of gotten on the road by 5:30pm I would have. But, I didn't and couldn't. Hopefully no one gets suspended for the playoffs, and there were no injuries. Also I hope lessons were learned, on and off the court.

That is why you bring those young children here. So you can influence them. Those children are like blank slates. You either influence them or the jihadists will. It's that simple. Besides there are thousands of good, law abiding, peaceful muslims and middle easterners in this country. Many of them are highly educated: Doctors, doctors, more doctors, engineers, lawyers, entrepreneurs, teachers. What modicum of knowledge I have about advanced algebra and trig, and it is not that much, I could not have learned were it not for middle eastern tutors and teachers helping me out in remedial classes.

There was a guy named Jeffcoat who played basketball & probably football for Silsbee back in the 70s. Maybe the coach is a relative.

I don't recall condeming another denominaiton. I did say the catholic church intends to one day rule the world, and if you pay attention to what they say they will tell you so. Read the book 'keys of this blood' by malachi martin. There are other sources and quotes too numerous to mention.

Sports: Majic Johnson grew up adventist. His mom is sda, his aunt is an adventist doctor. He sister graduated from an adventist university. track and olympic star Usain bolt grew up adventist. A kenyan runner who recently won the nyc marathon is adventist, and on and on...

As mentioned there are adventists in the military. I see them at church. Adventist soldiers served in Iraq & Afgahnistan. Some were combatants some served as medics and as chaplains. Senate chaplain Barry Black is sda. Before he got the senate chaplain job he served as chaplain in the US navy for 20 years. He rose to the level of rear admiral. Some adventists are liberal, some are conservative. Houston congresswoman Sheila jackson Lee is adventist. Ben Carson is adventist and is a member of trump's cabinet. there was a well known senator from Arizona Republican Stump Mitchell. He was adventist. There are adventist police officers. How they manage their schedule I don't know, but they do.

I served in the military. Right now there are SDA (seventh day adventists) in every military branch. Some follow the lead of desmond doss and are non combatents, some bare arms.

Who knows if they are growing now, I am sure isis will grow. Unless america performs some sort of genocide, & anything is possible these days, they will grow.

Silsbee vs Yates, probably in Huntsville. If the Tigers make it to SA it could be Silsbee, D Lincoln, Brazosport and some other team I am not aware of.

My belief system is based on present truth as taught by the denomination I belong to. I am a seventh day adventist christian. My world view is based on my beliefs. I don't think the world as we know it is going to be around much longer. Maybe no more than 40 years. All these numerous groups and factions will eventually narrow down and coalesce in to four groups: the wicked living, the wicked dead. The righteous living and the righteous dead. That's it.

I was born in Kountze. I grew up in and identify with Silsbee.

Shane Dronett was a beast. Now that you mention it I do remember hearing he had passed away. RIP.

When Atlanta went up 28-3 early in the 2nd half I knew there was too much time left in the game.
