"Moose", as we all knew him was a great big guy, with even a bigger heart....Moose had a knack for making you laugh and making you feel good, just by being around him. That big smile and that deep voice will be missed. Kids will miss him the most, because he was always involved in as many as he could touch. There was a true  sincereity about him that I will never forget. The gyms won't be the same without him around and we all lost a winner today.. LIFE is ???????? Full of these.

I got the call about it at 6 am this morning from Coach Henderson and it just tore me up.....I have no words to say...God bless his family at this hour....One day you are here, and the next you are gone.  I will sorely miss the big fella.  I will definitely be at the services to honor him and be with his family.

Just located the obituary on line and was even more saddened by this..  I did not know "Moose" but I can remember seeing many games he officiated.  He always had a smile on his face.  He was a good official an it was clear he loved doing it and lived his life to the fullest.  "Moose" you will be greatly missed.

I had the opportunity to work with Moose at many Silsbee basketball games.  I am saddened to hear of his passing.  His size and his voice could have been intimidating if not for the sweet smile that he always carried with him.  He was an excellent official and will be missed by many.

God Bless the Jones family.

I had the pleasure of attending the memorial service for 'MOOSE' Jones.  I say pleasure because it was one of the most uplifting ceremonies that I have ever witnessed.  I am sure that no one who attended left without a change in there attitude toward life. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the coaches and officials who took the time to be a part of this ceremony for Warren.  The service was a whos who of area coaches,  which it should have been.  Warren deserved all the recognition that was bestowed upon him because WARREN JONES WAS A GREAT MAN.  I loved this man and it had nothing to do with basketball.  It had everything to do with the true worth of this man which was his tremendous heart.

I have a daughter who has been battling breast cancer.  I NEVER SAW MOOSE THAT HE DIDN'T GIVE ME A HUG AND ASK ABOUT MY CHILD

You may miss Warren on the basketball court.  I will miss him off of the court

      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.
