Many prayers from BH !  I think it is so sad how some of the comments passed judgement and mentioned texting when they have no idea !  I lost a son in an auto accident exactly one week before his 16th birthday, And the rumors just flew through BH. None of which were true.  I pray hard for peace for the families and friends of these young girls.

The 13 year old girl is a Niece of one of my employee's. I've been on the phone with him since early this morning. I met her a few times, Very nice girl. She spent alot of her time at his house, spent most of her summer with his family as well. He treated her like one of his own children.He was very close to her. The girls mother also spent alot of time hanging out at his house with his wife.  He is very upset and seems lost, but trying to be strong for the family. I told him that thousands of people are praying for his family and friends to help find guidance and comfort. Robert, hang in there, be strong for your family and I pray for God to guide you and give you strength and comfort in this terrible tragedy. God Bless you !

    • 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
