I imagine this is more prevelant in 3A and down but just wondering how many you have playing football at your school.


For Silsbee

6, 2 starters, 3 key reserves.

All 6 of these players are starters on the football field.

At Caldwell, this year they have 4 kids (2 Seniors/2 Sophomores) who don't play football.  1 of those kids is their only All-District player, Andrew Smisek.  The other 6 kids play football...Varsity football...& it looks like they will be playing football for a long time this year.  Too bad for Coach Smisek.  I know he really wants to get going!

Are you saying that at East Chambers, if you want to play basketball or any other varsity sport, you HAVE to play football? Am I understanding you correctly?
[/quote]When my son was a sophmore we received a letter in the mail stating that to play other sports you had to play football...the fb numbers were down and they were trying to bring it up......neadless to say it took about an hour to iron that little wrinlkle out....I support  the fb program but that tatic didn't work....things are a lot better the last few years.

The "tactic" would also be illegal by the UIL. You cannot make playing a sport mandated or based on playing another sport. It is ILLEGAL to make it mandatory that playing a sport you have to play football. Now you can say the only ones in athletics are football kids, with everything else after school but not the other way.

when i was in High school if you didn't play football they didn't put you in athletics you were in P.E, because it was the same time as the athletic period, then once football season was over and basketball started they put you in athletics and the coaches said the reason why is because every coach, coached football and therefore they didn't have anyone free to watch the kids that didn't play football, but that being said when i was in high school our basketball team won 2 district titles and made a trip to the regional finals

We don't really have many guys who crossover between football and basketball at Madison. I believe we have two players who will be reserves on the basketball team currently playing football. One is our starting QB who goes 6'7" and the other is a 6'3" WR who starts as well. Other than that we don't have anyone else on the football field right now.

the rule now at ec is that every person in athletics have to play 2 sports which nearly 95% of those ppl play football as the 1st sport

      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.
