What a tragedy. Words cannot describe the sadness I feel for a young man I never met but feel I knew..My prayers go out to his family. classmates,and team for this horrible loss. May God give all of you strength during this time of difficulty. Thank you God for the time this young man was with all of them, and the the lifetime impact he was able to inspire in all that knew him. Now he is walking hand and hand with you on streets of gold. God bless! This really puts football and life in perspective.

Gas, J Simar and I are going to start a scholarship fund. We have some ideas but I think it would be good to get you involved. If nothing else I will fund it for this year myself. I would like for it to be more than that and we have a plan. What do you think? Like I said I will make it happen this year for sure.

We are just coming back from out of town and just getting access to the forum. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Garrett family and the WOS community. We didn't know Reggie personally but after reading all the posts it was definately our loss to not have. He obviously touched many lives.

I have heard what a great student and how intelligent Reggie was.  I have heard and witnessed what a great athlete he was.  I have heard nothing but positive things (even before his death) about his character and the person he was.  We can't choose how smart we will be or how gifted we will be athletically but we can make the right choices and choose to be the best person we can be and I applaude Reggie for being the person he was.  I have had some friends when I was younger and have known some young people later on that have met a tragic end because of bad choices and that was hard to deal with.  This is especially hard because this young man made the right choices and his choices did not affect his end.  I have prayed and will continue to pray for Reggie's family, friends, classmates, teammates, coaches and Mustang fans.  I was only a fan in the stands and am hurting, so I will not pretend to know the grief those close to him are going through but do know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

I love the photos of him and his friend/receiver.

    • RWG Stem vs Liberty Magnet tips off in 5 minutes in the main gym.
    • REL actually improved this year to 6-4 which was remarkable because like you said, they had a lot of injuries and their bench was thin before that.  It’s crazy how the smallest of the 3 GCCISD High Schools finds a way to at least field a team that can hold their own but you’re right that coaching is one aspect of it.  Not that they’re a top 150 team or even close to it but if they’d lost a couple less guys there’s a real chance they could have beat Texas City and gone to at least the 1st round of playoffs this year which for GCCISD football might as well be State for how hard it is for them.   You’re spot-on about GCM and RSS coaches.  GCM coach is 2-28 over 3 years and RSS coach is 15-45 over 6.  Hard to get kids to participate in what they know from the outset is a losing proposition.  I watched the GCM/NS Game.  I was worried someone would get hurt, felt sick.  All 22 of NS starters are high level D1 Commits, QB is 19 years old, and GCM lined up a bunch of Sophomores against them, kids that aren’t even old enough to drive.     I know GCCISD wouldn’t ever do it but they really ought to stop insisting that the 3 High Schools play each other for their first 2 out of conference games.  At least let GCM out of it.  All 3 schools are in different Classifications so the wins don’t matter except for bragging rights around town and with REL winning both those games every season all it does is kill morale before the first District game is even played.  Let GCM schedule some OOC games on their level like Houston Sterling/Sam Houston/Chavez for their first 3.  That way there’s a good chance even if they lose every District game they could end up 3-7 and if they beat Channelview 4-6.  GCM having to lose to RSS and REL to start their season every year is just a killer.   You want to know why all the talent at EF Green Jr doesn’t show up at GCM?  Because that talent transfers to North Shore after 8th grade is done.  Straight-up.  They don’t care if you know either.  Those kids moms get on Facebook and brag about it.  Of course, most of those kids end up so far back on the depth chart that by Sophomore year they want to transfer back just so they can get to play at all but then you run into the eligibility thing.    Anyway, sorry for the off-topic tangent, this is a BH thread.  
    • They are very good. Really good shooting guard that's '6"3. Also have a do it all forward that's '6"5. He does everything for them. Score, rebound, defend. Maybe not as quick overall as those other teams, but I think they will at least make state semifinals.
    • Brookeland is playing Frankston in Aux gym. Game started at 1pm  
    • What’s your take on brookeland?  How do they compare to those teams in the late 90s early 2000s?
