Unbelievable. It doesn’t replace the game, but the other team should be charged with a forfeit. What a horrible message that sends to kids and community in both towns… That’s shameful.

Kinda jerks my chain when we just had a game with Houston Episcopal where both teams kneeled at the center of Pirate field after the game for a big team prayer. The Pirates have always shown the utmost respect and sportsmanship for any team that wants to reciprocate. Under Mathews I have seen them kneel and pray with many teams after wins or losses and now we get this BS from a Christian school over the past when coach has seemingly been at Vidor forever.

Whomever made the decision to cancel the game should be taken behind the woodshed.

For whatever it’s worth, when Vidor was in the same district as Ozen and Central (majority Black team), Coach Matthews used to orchestrate a combined team prayer before the game.  Was an awesome sight to see.  That act alone made me gain respect for Matthews and the Pirate athletic program…

The AD’s name is Kelly Carroll. She should have to explain her decision in a public forum. 
 

Her phone number and email address are on their website…

Pure ignorance of how things really are, sad that you guys are having to deal with this.  It’s a reflection on them, not y’all.

Agree, an explanation should be insisted on.

I was about to say the same thing Vidor had some awesome rivalries and moments with Ozen and Central. Mathews supported those guys and they loved him. I have seen many a Beaumont player that graduated walking Vidors sideline and rooting for the Pirates.

Can’t fix stupid.

Let’s hope it’s not as it seems. I’m just taken aback. But then again, with the current climate, nothing is surprising anymore.

This one walks, looks and quacks like a duck.

If your going to call or reach out do it with respect cause it could definitely be a reason. otherwise neither of these post are gonna help the situation at all imo

 

on a side note, when I played I got called more names from Port Neches, then I ever did from Vidor. And I agree with Soulja Coach Matthews was always one of my fav coaches. Him Stowers and Washington were all pretty close and had the upmost respect for each other

I wouldn’t exactly call him a reliable source.   Has there been any reasons given directly from the school ?

From what I gathered, they decided to go with a game that was more local.

If it’s true, she has lost ALL rights to respect. What respect does she have for the kids from Vidor, the coaches from Vidor, the entire Vidor community for that matter? Respect…that’s a characteristic she may need a lesson in. It turns my stomach. 

[BHFAN]

Really Dumb! Vidor has always been a class act when BH played them.

Where did you gather that? Do you know of anyone that has spoken to Jeff? I hope you’re right.

The games between both Ozen and Central when Vidor played them, it was always very classy and respectful. A reason why alot Vidor fans like myself loved when we played against them. There was never any ill-will towards either team.

They decided to play Fulshear after their game with Clear Lake was cancelled.

Are you saying they never scheduled the game with Vidor?

Kevin Steele reached out to Mathews, and I found out through my nephew and his cousin.

I think it was agreed to have a game, but I'm guessing bthey didn't like the fact of coming to Vidor then backed out. Then decided on a game with Fulshear.
