what's funny about this thread,is everyone looks good!!! we as h.s. football nuts,are craving football so much to where ol look like they run 4.4's.kinda hard to evaluate right now till the pads get put on. but glad to hear moral is up and eveyone is getting excited. wish my team(s) started today :(

First practice proves which kids worked out all summer and which one's sat on their tail watching tv or playing video games. I don't get too excited until they put the pads on this Friday.

These are the ones that need to be sitting on the bench, too.  ;)

I heard today that 3 seniors were told to leave before they even got on the field because they had missed off season. They are seniors and just wanted to play one last time in high school and they didnt even get to try out....I think its not fair but what do yall think about this?

I think it is fair, if you are not willing to pay the price in the off season, it is not fair to the other kids that did. jmo

You may think it seems unfair but rules and guidelines have to be made.  I am sorry for these individuals but it's nice to know some ADs stick to their rules.  These are the life lessons that children need to become responsible adults.

I agree with you WOS there are rules in life to follow And sometimes our kids are not held responisible for their actions.  So many times I have sit back and watched these same kids get in trouble for drinking and drugs and nothing happen so nothing was learned so kudos for the AD for standing behind the rules.

nah its very fair. Coaches put these rules in so kids dont just join the football team to be known as football players. Considering the other kids are working their tales off every offseason and summer and paying the price to get a chance to win on friday. The guys who wanted to play should have saw the light before it was to late

Why do you assume a convenient excuse for them?  ::)  I am sure if a legit reason was there, there would be no problem. There are a ton of great kids out there, but don't fool yourself. A few are just downright lazy and/or irresponsible. Real pathway to success? EARN IT.  ;D

I think the offseason he was referring to was in the spring, when they were at school.  I know of kids who quit after football season, miss spring offseason, then try to get back in when two-a-days start.  Most coaches don't let them back on the team.

Even though HJ had a rough year last year, this "cutthroat" decision is the mark of a winning team. Purge the losers, posers and wannabes. If a kid wants to be on the team - really wants to be on the team - he will be there during the offseason (whenever that might be) working to earn it. If the coach hasn't seen your face since you were REQUIRED to be there, then you should at best ride the pine. If there are enough guys to fill a roster without you, then good luck in wood crafts.

From personal experience, I don't think its fair at all. I didnt play fresh through junior years in HS because my heart just wasnt in it. I wanted to concentrate on track, and I did. Had track during last period when everyone else was in off season. I was working my butt off too just in a different sport. Then my buds at the end of the junior year convinced me to come play my senior year. I didnt start out 1st on the depth chart, but was given the chance to work my ass of to get there. I did end up starting at TE and ended up with many offers from colleges. So with all that said, I say let them come out, let them compete, If they are good enough and their heart is on competitive fire, Let them help your team be better.

Just my opinion

      Orangefield 65 Livingston 83/FINAL

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
