[quote name="Raider81" post="837621" timestamp="1283545098"] Let's all join hands and sing Kum Bi Ya, now.  And btw, are we planning to give out trophies and state titles to all the teams now, just to keep their self-esteem up? Yes, positive reinforcement is a good thing, but so also, is learning to deal with criticism.  I don't think anyone here was too harsh on the boy.  I am sure he felt awful about it and beat himself up about it.  He wouldn't be a team player if he didn't.  But, there comes a time in a boy's life when it's time to put on his big boy drawers and stick his chin out and be a man.  This, in my opinion, is one of those times.  Yeah, he probably did get picked on about it, and would have whether this forum existed or not.  Believe me, kids got picked on for stuff like that back in the old days before the internet and cell phones and in the small town that Lumberton was then, EVERYONE KNEW EVERYTHING.  The kid learned a couple of tough lessons ... not to do what he did, and to live with the consequences of his mistake, which includes people talking about it and teasing him a bit about it.  He also learned that he will be forgiven and that life goes on.  That's life and now is the time in his to learn to deal with stuff like this.  Playing high school football is about far more than the game.  Every experience these kids have is helping to shape who they are and who they will become.  So tough lesson it was, but he needed it to help him grow.  He'll be a better person and a better man for it.   [/quote] [size=14pt][b]GREAT POST!![/b][/size] The kid made a mistake and paid the price. I have read this PUBLIC forum and have not seen anything out of line. When something is said out of line, the moderators are not shy about locking a thread or deleting a post!  ;)

Braided might be great for saltwater, but I have had nothing but probelms in freshwater.  Its like fishing with sewing thread (with the strength of steel) and it gets caught in EVERYTHING(including your reel)......Then if you get hung.......cut the line.....

[quote name="Jbdfan" post="835029" timestamp="1283188702"] It is a very scrappy, tough, district. I wish I knew more about the other teams. It is early, but if they play all 48 hard every game, they should have a shot. Will know more about Livingston after this week and will gladly pass on any thoughts as I would like for Lumberton to come out on top of Livingston in district. Not that my thoughts will matter much, but it will be interesting to see what Livingston has. [b]Best of luck on Lumberton making the playoffs[/b]!    [/quote] Thanks from Lumberton!

[quote name="Raider81" post="835011" timestamp="1283187349"] I hate these "will our team make the playoffs?" so early in the season.  There are so many determining factors, other than just the team and the coach that it's a completely ridiculous speculation. Do I hope Lumberton will make the playoffs?  Of course I do.  Do I think they will?  No idea, too soon to tell. [/quote] Its a public forum to discuss football. People can talk and speculate about anything they want. If you were to remove every thread that started with "will our" or had the word "prediction" in it, this would be a VERY boring forum. and it is too early to predict........but if people want to predict on a public forum and stay within the rules of this forum......then GO FOR IT!

Honestly, WAY to early to tell. I will say this, after Friday night and seeing how the entire district played out, I would say we have a VERY good chance!!!

May I introduce the dark horse....... LUMBERTON

Now thats a Happy Ending! 8)

[/quote] Obviously I have specifics, just trying to make sure I'm not the one reaching with my belief! So to clarify your opinions a little more. If a kid is arrested for theft, or passession of drugs, gone to jail for truancy, they should not be allowed to participate........period! There should not be a form of punishment by the coaches, then allowed to play in ANY of these examples....correct? [/quote] Truancy is a school issue like acting up in class or a discipline problem. That should be up to the school and the coach. While it is true that you can be arrested for truancy, you can also be arrested for disrupting the classroom or failing to signal a turn while driving to school. In fact, every citation issued by an officer is an arrest but you are released on your own recognizance. I don't think kids should lose UIL privileges for citations. Those are not serious issues and are between the schools and coaches. I was talking about (and thought that I said) robberies, selling drugs, using drugs and other serious crimes. If you are selling dope, you should not be allowed the privilege to play sports or UIL sponsored events. If you are committing armed robberies... same answer. Breaking into homes? See Ya! [/quote] Thanks for the clarification! As I said, I do have specific circumstances of interest. All those examples are "actual" and of course accompanied by police reports by way of the public information act. The other side is evident due to 2 a days starting and these players are on the field. When asked about that, Im only told that its a internal issue and they will be punished by the AD (Head football coach) before being allowed to play! On the otherhand a cheerleader (JV) was kicked off the squad for missing a 15-20 minute (Varsity) pregame event of running through a runthrough poster with young children. This was due to the "constitution" stating the rules. I dont have issues with the cheerleader being removed (it was the rule) just cant figure out how the ISD allows the football players to play with arrest records, or why the AD should allow it either! By the way, these issues have been taken up with reps from the ISD, basically I was told the Cheerleaders have a constitution and athletics does not! So the next step would be? Public forum (with names and paperwork to prove it) Local paper....how do you stop this double standard? [/quote] If you can get all the documents and they are public record, go to the media.

[quote name="baseballrocks" post="817480" timestamp="1278817639"] It is really a shame that most of you cant see that the Jasper coach was taking up for his kids just like if some one was doing your kid wrong and hopefully you would take up for them just like he was because it was a bad call and he took up for his kids and by the way he is such a good coach and has trained his kids so well and they know what he expects that he doesnt have to be there for them to win district 12 championships and he is a great coach and he stands behind his kids 110% and they know that and they respect him for that and always will for years to come and i have no problem with him coaching any child of mine anytime. And If your child was playing a championship game would you not try your best to see him, like you people have never broken a rule or a law, not likely.
