Game added for tonight: West Hardin at Trinity


Recommended Posts

Since Colmesneil had to forfeit against Trinity and KIPP 7 canceled yesterday morning against West Hardin, the Oilers will now travel to Trinity tonight to take on the Tigers. Game time is 7pm.

My personal opinion. If I am the head coach of the West Hardin's and the Sabine Pass's of the world, I would never ever schedule a KIPP school. They cancel more times than they play. 

Let's not beat around the bush here. We know why these teams get scheduled. Easy win to put on the schedule. But IMO it's just not worth losing a game to play. I know there are other teams that could be scheduled. If you lose one or two, so be it. But at least you got to play a game.

I am glad West Hardin decided to get with Trinity and play tonight. Good for both teams.

KIPP schools are synonymous for cancelling and they will do it last minute ESPECIALLY if it has to do with a road game.  I agree .... leave them off of the schedule!  It's not worth the headache.  However, what is the story with Colmesneil?  Why did they cancel?

Stated they had too many injuries to field a varsity team this week.

They were coming off two consecutive wins.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
    • @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
