I’ve been traveling to & visiting Ft Worth for several decades, since I got married in 1989. We would drive up there 5 or 6 times a year to check on the in-laws and to worship at the grace temple sda church in East Ft Worth. The fact that they had a very talented but then unknown choir director named Kirk Franklin had something to do with it. I was shown where Dunbar HS was located but I never heard of Eastern Hills. So I was in East funky town a lot. I heard of that school but I really wasn’t up there for high school sporting events.

Glenn Bishop who plays for Stafford, I hear he is good. I would lie and say he is a cousin, being my last name is Bishop as well. Far as I know we are not related.

How does a 4A div 2 school fortuitously come up with a D1 size front 7 and a comparable defensive back field?

Deion's schtick would not play well in College Station.

I discuss the scrimmage with the basketball dad a couple doors down. His son plays for Westfield. I guess this is his 2nd go round & his ex lives out there. Westfield is not close by. Eisenhower is down the street but that school has a thuggish reputation. Jersey village is cool, but they don't move the needle in terms of sports.

I am just now seeing this. I was always arguing on this board. So I left. Hagar and I always butted heads. We did agree on some sports takes. It wasn't personal. I hate to hear he is gone, and also his wife. Condolences to his family and friends.

Oops, mistook Cole Anthony for Anthony Black. My bad. No wonder that shot looked good.

I am watching the Rockets season opener vs Orlando. Anthony Black has gone from Duncanville, to Arkansas and now to the NBA. He is hitting a consistent outside shot. That should help his game a lot. The Rockets, to me, seem to be missing KpJS (Kevin Porter. Jr) outside shooting and overall offense. Jalen Green can't shoot.

FFA usually doesn't have a very deep bench. They will have a very skilled 7 or 8. If a pressing teamn with a deep bench, in 4A state tourney in San Antonio, can get them tired, hit some shots..Gotta beware of how the refs are calling the game. In other words, anything is possible.

I am a big Jared fan, but if someone were to say McDermott is the #1 guy in region III I would not argue too much.

In 4A they got Stafford and Randall ahead of BT Washington? Interesting.

This means one thing: the beginning of the boys high school season is near.

Schools like Cuero, Wimberly, Carthage etc, load and reload like a well maintained Army machine gun on the front line. D-1 talent goes out the front door and more comes in the back door. It has been like that for at least half a century.

Good to great athletes is at least 75% of a winning formula.

I heard Silsbee has a 6’3” qb transfer from San Antonio. What about him?

2017 is history, it is not going away. You can read up on ir on the UIL page.

…

That 2017 team was special. Devon is the best out of Silsbee.Againts Dallas Carter in that championship game he was rebounding, playing defense, making steals, throwing dimes, intercepting dimes, etc. And he had a star studded team with him: Bush, Adams, Martin, a host of others. BTW beat FFA. Or was that BU? Maybe it was a fluke. Maybe not. Like Texas Hoops said, BTW is good, but I feel Silsbee is better. I think Miller will play, at least I hope so. If not there are some hungry kids on that team. Sooner or later some of them will step up. It happens on all teams every year.

Play hard PJ but, don't get hurt. This thing is just getting started.

PJ had a lot to do with that. I can feel it.

So Silsbee is playing Dallas Carter now?

Silsbee vs PInkston? Score?

Get by BTW, somebody catch FF slipping, and...this could be a 'ship' year.

TABC bases their rankings from the outcome of these games.

Valid points IMO.
