Post some update pics, if you can.

Rumor has it, Dayton will stay in 22-4A. 1. Dayton - Lots of Senoirs on last years team but half our players were underclassmen and the non-starting underclassmen got a lot of playing time this last season. 2. Lumberton - I don't think they will be losing much, besides they have what they need to win, "Heart". 3 or 4. Nederland - I believe Sampere will be back right?, along with Cardenas. 3 or 4. Central - That many athletes can't stay down that long.

Jan. 10, 2008, 11:28PM Steroid tests to begin in Texas high schools Official says she anticipates a February start By GARY SCHARRER Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle Austin Bureau AUSTIN — The long-awaited steroid testing of Texas high school athletes could start next month, state officials said Thursday after adopting rules for the program that will collect random urine samples from about 23,000 students each year. A contract with the company selected to conduct the massive testing program should be finalized "in just a very few days," said Patti Ohlendorf, vice president for legal affairs at the University of Texas. She would not identify the company, which will have to hire testing personnel and a crew chief and get them trained and certified. "I doubt that it would start in January. I would anticipate probably February," she said after the University Interscholastic League Legislative Council adopted rules and procedures for the program. State lawmakers mandated the random testing program for anabolic steroid use start during the current school year. It will cost about $3 million a year and is considered the largest steroid testing program of its kind in the world. Some legislators have grumbled about the slow start of the program, which they expected to launch during the high school football season last fall. But it was imperative to make sure the program was legal, fair and afforded students and their families proper treatment, said Mark Cousins, athletic coordinator for the University Interscholastic League, or UIL. "If it took a little bit longer to make sure that that happened, then that's just the way it had to be," Cousins said. Students who test positive would be suspended from competition in their chosen sport. For example, football players randomly selected for testing this spring would have to serve their suspension next fall if they test positive for steroids. A public comment period ending last month did not result in any major changes in the rules and procedure for the testing program. A number of Texans suggested that the program would be more meaningful if the state tested for all illegal drugs instead of confining it to steroids, said Kim Rogers, UIL spokeswoman. Steroid abuse can result in shrinking of the testicles, impotence, baldness and enlarged breasts for males and decreased breast size, deepening of the voice and excessive body hair for females, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. For both sexes, steroid abuse can cause liver cancer, blood clotting, acne, depression, heart attacks and strokes. Student athletes who test positive the first time will be suspended for 30 days from competition. A second positive test result would lead to a one-year ban from competition. Any student athlete returning from a suspension must pass a follow-up steroid test before returning to competition. The state would pay for the exit test after the first suspension, but the student would have to pay for any additional test, estimated to cost between $100 and $200. Schools will get between 24 and 48 hours notice before crews arrive to begin the random testing process. Medical exemptions will be granted to students who can substantiate a medical need for a steroid prescription from a physician. Diet supplements, including protein powders, amino acids, creatine and vitamins are neither tested nor regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and could be contaminated with steroidlike chemicals, officials warn. Such a positive test is not grounds for an appeal. Student athletes should avoid taking dietary supplements, Texas Education Agency Associate Commissioner Jeff Kloester said. The steroid testing company will be required to help educate students and families about the risks of taking dietary supplements, Kloester said. UT's Ohlendorf said the ambitious testing program "is a very crucial challenge for the state and for everybody who's implementing it." "And I don't think it's just going to be without difficulties," she said. But she told the council that it could modify the testing program along the way.

Great job, thanks Mr. Toups.

News Release Media Contact: Steve Lightfoot, (512) 389-4701, [email protected] Jan. 2, 2008 Weekly Migratory Bird Hunting Report Weekly migratory bird hunting reports are posted from early September through early February. High Plains Mallard Management Unit/Panhandle: Colder temperatures helped decoying action early this week. Better flights of Canadas have been working wheat and corn fields around Etter, Dumas and Spearman. With a little cloud cover, snow geese have decoyed better. Duck hunting has been fair to good on playas. Mallards, wigeons, gadwalls, teal and wood ducks have been working playas and feed lot tanks. Haskell County hunters have enjoyed steady shoots for dark geese and ducks. Hunting around Lubbock has been good for ducks and Canadas. The region is hoping the Arctic blast will send larger Canadas from Kansas and Nebraska. Prospects are good. North Zone Waterfowl: Limits of mallards have been the norm in the river bottoms of Central Texas around Centerville. Wood ducks and gadwalls have been available as well. A few mallards have been taken in the private river bottoms around Marshall, Ore City, Tatum and Longview. Hunting on the Sulfur River and Wright-Patman Lake has been slow. Caddo Lake has been fair for divers, including a few canvasbacks. Lake O’the Pines is good for ringed-necks and canvasbacks the Hwy. 155 bridge. Toledo Bend is good for mallards in the secluded coves and canvasbacks on the big water. Hunters around Waco and Stephenville have taken birds on deer lease ponds that are rarely hunted. Lake Livingston has been good for mallards, wood ducks and gadwalls. Hunting has slowed closer to the coast around the IH-10 corridor. Hunters there have been happy with half-limits of teal, gadwalls and shovelers. Prospects are fair. South Zone Waterfowl: The coastal marshes continue to enjoy the steadiest duck hunting in the state. Port O’Connor, Seadrift and Rockport have harbored impressive numbers of pintails, teal, gadwalls, wigeons and redheads along the shoalgrass shorelines. Good hunts have been had in the High Island marsh as well. Hunting on the high ground near the marsh has not been as strong on the east side of Houston. Trinity Bay hunters have seen slow hunts for the past month. Duck hunting on the coastal prairie has been fair at best. Better shoots were had over the weekend, but hunting overall has been fair at best. Snow goose hunting had taken a turn for the better as geese began to decoy better last week; however, calm days and bright skies hurt that program over the weekend. More Canada geese are showing in soybeans and plowed ground near Eagle Lake and Egypt. Some outfitters have chosen to set dark goose spreads and take advantage of the bounty since snows are so inconsistent. Good shoots for doves have been had near Alice and Falfurius. Port Mansfield, Laredo and Matagorda County hunters have reported steady shooting as well. Prospects are fair to good. ——— On the Net: Hunting Regulations: [Hidden Content]

Thought what? You thought I didn't feel like discussing this point any further with someone that refuses to be logical. By the way nobody is whining or crying, just stating the facts.

;D

My thoughts exactly. Go find another forum like basket weaving or crochet.

Hussey being on the list makes it a little more legitimate. Congrats Cody, I knew you were a hoss last year. Great job and we are proud for you. Now as for you "YourDaddy". How does a team make it to State Semi-Finals and not have at least 1 player on the list? I know there is really no sense in asking you that but what the heck. Nobody is a DJ hater, just becuase you don't think he was the best player doesn't mean you don't think he is good.

I heard 3:00pm.

Don't blame it on Dave, he has nothing to do with that website other than his name being posted on it. They picked West Mesquite to beat Highland Park last week. Which we know turned out way different, HP 49-WM 6.

Dang.

Looks like the weather maybe real nasty Friday night. mid 50's and 50% chance of rain.

Aaah, No. ;D

I believe RKHUFU 7 is pulling for Dayton to win, he was just asking a question.

Since the Friendswood game, the best passing team Dayton has faced would probably be Nederland(which had no running game). Our defense faired pretty well against them in a 63-0 win. By the way if you go back the the beginnning of the season Nederland beat Brenham. So you can't compare 12-15 weeks ago to now. Lake Travis wil see a much different and improved defense than the Friendswood Mustangs saw.

Friendswood was a long time ago. We can defend the pass and we won't be giving them anything. Lake Travis can bring it, no doubt and I am not trying to down play their accomplishments. I believe Dayton will drastically slow them down, while our offense continues to roll.

Good article, glad to see Smesny and Kimmy get their props. Described Ford Smesny's style as "controlled mayhem". All I know is, that he will knock the crap out of you and punish receivers. Kimmy is a monster. Go get'em boys! [move]GO BRONCOS!!!! GO BRONCOS!!!! GO BRONCOS!!!! GO BRONCOS!!!! GO BRONCOS!!!! GO BRONCOS!!!! GO BRONCOS!!!! GO BRONCOS!!!! GO BRONCOS!!!! GO BRONCOS!!!!
