Team Game

I am not suggesting anything...I am simply providing examples where there have been and haven't been consequences. It isn't up to me, you, the parents, the kids or the coaches to decide if there is a question. It is up to the committee to investigate and make a decision.

Both of the cases mentioned were reviewed and ruled no problem. That may happen in the situation you have mentioned. But, I do believe the Hunter boys had to sit out of Varsity for a year. And when football players went to Kountze from HJ, they were not allowed to play Varsity either. My point is, this is not an isolated issue and it isn't because as you keep saying, people think they "own" a kid or the rights to their ability. It is simply a process of following the rules and accepting any and all POSSIBLE consequences.

When Coach Sutherland was at HJ, Silsbee questioned a player and it did go before the committee...Yes, it does happen in other districts. This situation isn't being questioned because of anything special. It happens here, in other districts and across the state. This is not an isolated situation. Tre Baldwin from WOS had to go through this when transferring before his Senior year (and he moved with a parent and it was approved). Get over yourself and stop thinking that people are trying to prevent this because they or the district "own" him. It is simply rules set up by the UIL.

smh....Enough. This problem is not ours. It is the parents and kids. They have to be ready to accept any consequences for their actions.

Congratulations! Another young man going off to college.

Good Luck!

This is not true. He has a daughter that has been attending China elementary and she is involved in the Little Dribblers Program at HJ. He has coached her the last 2 years. So, the family is already in the district.

Where is the Nederland coach going? Also, Lumberton would have had a winning record the last few years, no matter who was there. They were talented and have plenty of talent coming up.

There are 2 Parquet's. One will be a Senior (he was on JV) and the other will be a Junior (started) Again, I don't know why any of them would leave.

Are both of the brothers going? That adds to the cost. I'm honestly not understanding why any of them that are rumored to be leaving would leave.

That was him!

I too think there was a too many, but I'm thankful that there wasn't a large amount from each school put on the list. OF and HF have 1 each, which is seems right. Maybe the others could be reduced some, but I'm not sure where.

So the District MVP for Defense for the past 2 years, Jamerson Roberts, wouldn't start for Silsbee?

I think what made this team special was their depth. But, I don't think their top group is as strong individually as the teams mentioned in the 90s. Also, the depth has been the talking point all year, but I was a little confused that it wasn't utilized in the second half like it had been throughout the season.

I wanted BS to win. I was planning on watching them tomorrow. It has been a pleasure watching them and having a child compete against them. To go 2 1/2 months without competition is tough. Their community support is amazing.

You don't get the advantage of getting fouled and going to the line when you are content to keep shooting 3's on an off night.

Come on Big Sandy!

I believed Wheatley was beatable. We just didn't get there.

Silsbee will have no problem getting out of the Region.

It was fun while it lasted. Sometimes things just don't work out the way you think they should. HJ loses a quality group of Seniors both on the court and off, but there are many young ones ready to play. Good Luck to all the local teams still playing.

Biting their nails and shivering in fear.

Well done, Sir!

wow! HF gets 1st district win.

Is there any chance of Silsbee having a 9th grade game after grades come out or are their numbers low with kids playing up?

Benard was hurt in the second district game and then was additionally injured in a car wreck. Parquet has been out since the 2nd quarter of the Silsbee game.
