No offers. I don't put too much into that stuff. Specially when a young kid is getting an offer based on how good he's projected to be in the future 

He did not get an offer, just on the player to watch list. Thats still a good thing, however, you are overrating him.

If your speaking of Luke, I agree. Good player who hasn't been proven on the varsity level yet

Being proven at the Varsity level means absolutely nothing if you don’t have College offers. It just means you are just another good highschool ball player. There are millions of them.

Unfortunately we will have only one running back( no.3, who made all district as freshman) with D1  talent next year. I look forward to watching Woodville with 3.    
Hopefully Newton can make the playoffs next year. It would be good to finish in the top four like we did last year.

Well I'm sure the main goal of most good players is to get an offer but I'm just saying I personally don't assume a player is worthless because he doesn't have offers and don't assume a player who has offers is head and shoulders above everyone else. And you also have to take in consideration just because a guy doesn't have offers "yet" doesn't mean he's not gonna get any.

You are the only one saying the word worthless. Your returning running back is all district but by your standards that does not mean anything but it does to me. I have not downgraded any of your players just pointing out a 9th grader who has had several scholarship offers including U Houston and Tex Tech.

My opinion is based upon seeing them play many times. 

I doubt that's truly what your opinion is based on. I saw both teams play each other and I don't know how anyone could form that opinion based on varsity performance.

What else could it be based upon? You saw them play each other in a single game. I have seen them play several games each. It is not a knock on the WV RBs to say that the Newton kid is better. The Newton RB is going to quite special and is on a different level. 

Everyone in East Texas understands this.

    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • 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 McNeese 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 obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
