Bryce Loftin, great young man!

Your story seems to be changing a bit, which I would expect nothing different, since you were the one on here trying to gas light the situation in the first place. I have video of everything and always will. Furthermore, I will always stand on who my son is and how he was raised to handle himself. Some folks seem to think they get a free pass to say anything they want and hate a kid for working hard to be really good at something he loves. Every gym we go into there is always some little no count prick wanting to start mess with him. Now we even have opposing parents who think its ok to run their mouths to a fifteen year old kid. Everybody wants to provoke good people until they react, then blow up their reaction without addressing their own disrespect that started it all to begin with. It's typical in the World we live in today. That is ok though, I will always stand between good kids (my kids, your kids, their kids) and the fire. Its what God commands me to do! Since you will be at our games this week, please come up and meet me, I'll show you any video you want to see. We play at 10:30am vs. Jasper as well as 7:15 vs. Legacy, both games will be in Orangefield's New High-School Gym.

One last thought, Wrinkle and Scales are very unselfish leaders that really make the Bobcat offense flow. Leaving at least one of them in to handle and distribute the ball can give some of your bench players chances to score the ball and get some touches they may not normally get in the closer games.

Totally agree, and Coach Whitmire said the same thing afterwards. There were 6 techs during that game and it was getting more and more heated. We'd have liked to have seen all starters on the bench at that point especially Scales and Wrinkle and just finish the game out. Im sure if he had it to do over again, it would be played differently. He is a real good coach and we appreciate that he is trying help our players be good men as well. All good now

Class Act Guy and very good Coach! Congratulations sir!

Details above, and yes Kelly isn't near what they were without Langston Adams. Im glad the young man got out of there. He is a great kid and deserves a real shot.

I wasn't going to address it out of respect for Briscoe and Corey, (Kelly's Coaches who we have known for years) but since the story is growing into something that isn't true, I'll give you the facts that the video supports. There was a double ejection with 3.2 seconds left on the clock in the 4th Quarter of Orangefield - #24 Scales & Kelly's - #23 Zander (First Name is all I know, sorry). The only obscenities out of anyone's mouths were from the Kelly Player telling Scales he was a "f'n scared little b&*tch" which was the kind of crap that happened the entire game even though they were down 40 which showed an extreme lack of class on their part. It wasn't until Scales was dribbling time off of the clock to close the game out which is what Whitmire instructed him to do when he responded to the kid saying, "I'm not scared" which can be clearly heard on the video. Zander kept talking and Scales smiled at him in a "come get some type of manner" which is also what he has been instructed to do to these types. When he did this at the kid, the ref ejected both players which was total crap because he should have taken control of the game way earlier or ejected the kid when he cussed Scales, instead the ref didnt take control and it ended in a double ejection and a next game suspension for both players (UIL Rule). Furthermore, once ejected, the Kelly Player threw his shirt off at the bench and put on the obscenity laced tirade you are hearing about. (All on video) Scales/Whitmire didn't even know he was ejected at this point because he hadn't responded to any of the nonsense all game other than smile and point to the scoreboard because like I said, we were up 40. It was a total lack of discretion on the officials' part to let that go on all game and then cost a star player a 1 game suspension because he finally decided to address it with 3.2 seconds left on the clock. At the end of the game, Coach Piper and Coach Guilbeaux both came over to Scales and his family to apologize for the antics getting out of hand. They are both good guys and will always have our support. * Important Note: Scales is face-guarded and doubled in every game Orangefield plays which is respect and we take it that way. His teammates always step in and step up which is why they a great team! At the same time, their is a respectful way of doing it like Big Sandy did Saturday (True class act of a team), and then there is a disrespectful way of doing it where players resort to the above mentioned mess. That kind of crap never ends in a good way and if you are going to talk crap, at least be up in the dern ball game! *File was too big or I'd share the video on here *Kelly needs to stick to TAPS (Im sure we took the game last year thinking Langston would still be there, who by the way is a real class act kid who we are proud to know) and we shouldnt take games like this because we have nothing to gain by playing them which can also be heard on the video. *Videos are always proof and can take out hearsay

Coach Collazo at Legacy told me they lost to WO-S by 14. He said they missed double digit free throws, quite a few layups and turned it over a lot. Tough to win like that, but it explains the tough loss. He knows his group is much more capable than what they showed last night.

Agreed, I hate we missed TABC this year. It was a very cool event last year for all of the teams.

Sorry, I was filming at the game and hadn't been on here in a few days. WOS came out ready to play bringing physicality and quickness. They lead 13 -12 at the end of the first but we had a monster 2nd quarter that began with a 16-0 run. outscored them 30 -6 in the second and never looked back. The final score of 68-48 isnt a good indication of the team WOS actually is though. The second quarter just hit them hard and took the wind out of them, They couldn't recover. IMO, they are a much better team than last year and will catch a stride this season, despite not having any size. 0, & 4 are really good shooters, and 3 if I'm not mistaken on the number is a defensive specialist who did all he could to limit Ghost's touches all game. (Looks more like a running back, not real tall, but very fast and physical) Bobcats were 11/18 from three, & 26/49 on total FGA's. Tough to beat anyone when they get that hot. 2nd Quarter was theBC Game all over again. Sophomore - Scales - 20 points, 3 rbds, 3assists, & 2 steals Senior - Wrinkle - 19 points, 16 rbds, 6 asts, & 1 stl Sophomore - Thomas - 17 pts, 5 rbds, 1 ast, & 2 stls Senior - Rucker - 6pts, 6 rbds, 2 asts, 4 stls, & 5 blocks

I appreciate your comment and I don't believe scholarships will be given out based on this message board either. However, I do believe that a lot of people in our communities as well as influential people in the sports world get on here to read about local talent, whether they comment or not. When the comments become argumentative and or destructive to how any of those kids with talent are viewed in the public, then we as adults have to step in and make sure all of these SETX kids are seen and given the opportunities they have worked so hard for and deserve. Last year's District Superlatives is probably the best example of kids not being represented and awarded fairly because of backdoor deals being made by coaches trying to get their own kids recognized even if they were not the best in the District. I saw a lot of back and forth on this board about it last year, so I know that most folks saw the truth and not the results that came out. It happened, it's in the past and the ones who got shunned can use it to fuel their fire going forward. Hopefully you and the other readers agree, if not then that is why we are all entitled to our own opinions or pages like this wouldn't even be fun. As for us, we don't want to step on anyone else's head to get where we are going, but at the same time we want what is rightfully ours too! I posted the schedule below. I wish we played some bigger teams as well. I even tried to run the kids in some AAU Tournaments with us this Summer to get them used to bigger, faster, stronger competition. We had 3 or 4 young men that were always there and they are the ones excelling now, not because of me but because their commitment level was always what it should have been, which is what it takes to be elite. Hard to keep school teams playing in the offseason, and even harder in small towns. Hats off to HF & Nederland parents for being able to keep their kids together in the offseason! It will really make a difference for them this year!

Not self promotion but it is promotion. I'm in the kid business and all of the SETX talent will need us all to promote them in every way possible. Trust me, we have been in this game for a long time and whether anyone wants to admit it or not there are big city politics involved in AAU and Circuit Ball. Our SETX Kids will need us all to help them get the opportunities they deserve. I want all of these kids to win and want nothing but positivity for all of them! I am not about many adults and their bull these days, but I love all of the kids and believe we have an obligation to them to make sure we get it right. I kind of thought that was why @AggiesAreWe made SETX Sports to begin with. Am I wrong?

Kountze brought in a really good player from West Brook, and Warren's best returning player from last year.

Bryce Loftin is a great player and even better young man! Awesome family behind him and has a team of brothers that believe in him. They are most definitely on the rise!

Scales #24 - 33pts (4 threes), 7 rbds, 1 asts, & 3 stls Wrinkle #4 - 16pts, 8 rbds, 6 asts, & 2 stls Thomas #10 - 13 pts, 8 rbds, 1 ast, 1 stl, & 3 blocks

Scales #24 had 18 in the 2nd quarter, 22 in the half.

Orangefield (Sophomore) Jaden Scales -24 points (5 threes), 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals (Sophomore) Griffin Thomas -13 points (3 threes), 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals (Senior) Zane Wrinkle -9 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals

Zane Wrinkle (Senior) -24 points (5 threes), 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block. Jaden Scales (Sophomore) -21 points (3 threes), 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals Griffin Thomas (Sophomore) -11 points (3 threes), 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals

Nederland definitely looks solid this year! Only team we have struggled with in Summer League (Because of their strength and size in the post). Really good well rounded team and for sure Coach English will have them ready.

TABC - Texas Association of Basketball Coaches "College Live Period Showcase" - It's deemed the "College Live Period" where Texas High School Coaches can coach their own teams which is usually not allowed under Texas UIL Guidelines. More importantly, it is where College Coaches are allowed to meet and talk to recruits after watching them play. There are some rules and guidelines to it all, but it is an awesome event held in Duncanville, Texas as a one stop shop for all College Coaches. It is a great experience and opportunity for the kids who have dreams of playing past high school. In the bobcats case last year, our top 3 all got invites at multiple colleges after last year's event. We are really bummed about the timing of our transition of coaches and having to miss this year, but we are sure Coach Whitmire will make it an expectation for the boys to attend in the future. He has came in and is already doing some really great things with them, so the future looks bright!

Bobcats pulled out of TABC this year. Whitmire hadn't been in place long enough to make contact and several players families scheduled their vacations for the same week. Bobcats wouldn't have had enough players available for the weekend of TABC. The youth will be just fine. Losing 7 Seniors would be tough on any team, but they still have 2/3 left of their leading scorers who will get more shots this year, and their 6th man from last year. The players moving up are ready too and Whitmire is already picking up where Mcdonald left off, plus the players really like him. Bobcats have been killing Summer League, so District should be really competitive.

I promise on everything that is holy. PM Sent

We are out on this blog. We would appreciate people not running peoples names through the mud when they dont personally know them or wont contact them directly to discuss their issues. There are always multiple sides to any story and everyone has their reasons for their actions. Mr. Scales tried numerous times to get a login, but would never get the confirmation email. It became apparent why when the director of this site bad mouthed him and his wife which definitely crossed the line. Mr. Scales contacted him directly on messenger, but he also chooses to not respond. With that being said, he knows who a few of you are and the fake friend part bothers him most, but trying to figure out who you other keyboard warriors are isn't worth the time or the energy. Ghost has worked really hard at his dream and his family has been right there with him every step of the way. The Scales Family only owes that joy to the Good Lord above and not anyone else. They can stand firmly that they are real Christian People, flawed and imperfect but healed by God and knowing he knows the truth of every situation. Until we meet, we will be praying that God removes the hate and malicious intent from your hearts. We want us all to win!
