86hawk Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 it appears Silsbee is out and Coldspring is in... I live in Houston and read the Chronicle daily and i find it a better read than the Beaumont Surprise, but come on....You would think some college intern, in charge of proofing the High School Brackets, would catch this. No love for Silsbee :'(

No love for Silsbee :'([/quote]I actually contacted the writer himself last night through Twitter to correct him on it. He replied back stating it was a mistake and has corrected it on-line but was too late for the print.

WOSgrad Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 Well, I can sympathize. The fact is the Chronicle has two folks, Jenny Dial and Angel Verdejo, who are tasked with covering every sport for nearly every high school between the Trinity and the Brazos. Mistakes will happen in that situation.
BADSANTA Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 You guys are late! I mentioned this yesterday on another thread.
86hawk Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Posted March 1, 2012 I'm not surprised. Just disappointed in the lack of coverage SE Texas sports gets. That is the best thing about SETXSports. It is all about the Golden Triangle and East Texas. I can find scores and info here, that you can't find in the Chronicle or on the Website. A major city with an average sports page. Good Job to the staff and supporters of SETXSPorts!!!!

Dick Vitale Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 You think its bad NOW, you should have seen it a few years ago when ONE writer was covering HS Sports, Sarah Hornaday.... ::) ::)....It was AWFUL COVERAGE!! She tried really hard though, I will give her that much.. 8)
