The result of this game would have been the same regardless of the non-district schedule.  A tough pre-season schedule making you better is a myth.

AMEN!!! 
I agree with this 100% - this is not just Beaumont - this is Nation wide

Me personally, I think it's something else.  As a father of 7, 6 that are involved in extracurricular activities, I think this generation is full of quitters created by their parents.  What do I mean by that?  For example, I'll use my oldest child.  Junior in high school currently at Central who plays football and runs track.  He didn't do this but what if when he was playing with the Bulls and they were just getting started with their workouts in July/August in the dead heat of summer, he came home one day from practice and said he quit, he doesn't want to play football anymore?  It's too hot, they are making us run too much or he doesn't like the contact that comes with football.  Or if when he started running the hurdles in 7th grade, he wanted to quit because the hurdles hurt too much if you miss time one and all of the conditioning that goes into track.  If I would have let him quit, he wouldn't have the opportunity to start at WR for the "new noname" high school in 2018.  He wouldn't have made it to Regionals in the 300 M Hurdles as a Sophomore and have paperwork coming in saying that colleges coaches are taking note.   A lot of these parents now a days would go turn in their kids equipment for them and say to the coach that my child doesn't want to play or run anymore.  Not at my house.  We are going to sit down and have a discussion about why he wants to quit.  I would hear him out, listen.  But then I would interject and finish the conversation with "We don't quit anything during the season.  You will finish the season, then we will have this discussion again once the season is over with and see if you feel the same way."  If at that time, he still felt the same way, then I would let him quit.
Quitting is what's wrong with this society, especially in Beaumont.  When these same kids get older, become adults and get a job or married and the going gets tough or they are faced with adversity, they quit the job or wind up getting a divorce.  They don't know how to persevere, adapt and overcome.  Just some of my thoughts...
  
 

What a bummer.  Sometimes even when you have Refs, you don't have Refs.  But love'em or hate'em, you gotta have'em.

It was a good one.  Kudos to West Hardin for a big win.  Looking forward to seeing y'all here in Evadale as we play for the Dist lead.

He is a heck of a football coach, would be a great hire if you can pull it off.

Coach Huey!!!

Ok, thanks

Let me know if you change your mind.  I'll PM you Friday.

Oilers win 52-50......

Rebels win 117 - 66

Oilers win 48-16......

This pretty much explains why we shut things down round here when we get this kind of weather:

I’ve really never found myself giving a rats butt WHAT some Yankee thinks about me.........

And one bus skids off the road, flips, and kids die and you can imagine the reaction.  I’m with old Ben Franklin - an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.  And I’m with WHFan.  Who cares what anyone else thinks?

Wasn’t able to go, but saw where West Hardin won by 20........

Watched 30 boys high school basketball games over last 4 days. Sprinkle in about 6 girls games for a total of 36. My ass is tired!! Ready for that Tuesday/Friday district rotation.
Also, after this past weeks tourney play, my number of teams I have seen for the year is at 88. Making my way to that 100 team goal for the 7th consecutive year.

I do! Thanks for the update WestHardinfan1!

West Hardin fans and others. 

Probably easier to have too many games and need to back out of one than to not have enough games and wind up scrambling late to find one

I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas.  It's the one day that for the most part, everyone is a little nicer to each other, even most non Christians.  I know many of you are still in the (long) process of getting your homes repaired, but I hope you're able to enjoy this day and have a slight reprieve from the worry and aggravation.  God Bless all of you!
