He put on a show. I felt horrible for him when he fumbled at the end. I have seen him play basketball in person. He reminds me of Karl Malone. I never thought that I would see that again, one of his dunks versus Gibsland reminded so much of Malone. I have no idea which sport he will choose or where he is going to end up at. All I know is that I am thankful to see him one more year in high school. I would hat e to be a db are a linebacker and see him coming at me. I hope Ruston makes the top 28 and I get to watch the whole bunch again.

Look at what happened at Hamilton Christian in Lake Charles. Some people have been charged thank the Lord but the 2 main culprits have had nothing to do done to them one escaped to js Clark the other is at LCCP. Justice has not been served.

Good for him. Refs on all levels of basketball are terrible. I called for 5 years in the Beaumont association. I got out because the guys I called with didn’t know the rules and take pride in their jobs. Just drawing a check. At the NBA level you should be perfect and go unnoticed. To many of them want to put on a show. College and high school is on another level of crap. Definitely no accountability on the high school level. Screw up go to the weekly meeting and laugh about how bad you are. In Louisiana the only association I know that is working to get better and move to another level is Shreveport . They actually do on court work during the season it’s called practice just like the teams do. But those sorry zebras will be getting another raise. So I don’t feel sorry for them at any level. If you want to not be called names to your job correctly and go unnoticed.

My daughter has been teaching for 5 years in Allen parish. I know it is not a great place been trying to to get her to move on. Anyway a teacher that has been a her school for thirty years found out her sister had terminal cancer in October. To make matters worse the lady who has cancer also found out her husband had terminal cancer about a month ago husband and wife were both in hospice. The teacher of thirty years applied to get leave to take care of both of them. The sister lasted maybe a week in hospice care. 2 days after the death Allen parish school board tells the teacher, you need to come back to work since your sister died and it was before we could grant you the leave time. The husband has no one to take care of him he may last another week. I’m appalled at how insensitive this was and the school board told the principal he had to tell the teacher to come back to work. How can people be so insensitive. Never in my life have I heard of this. I wish she could sue them and shut that place down.

At the start of basketball season all schools received a memo from Big Daddy Bonine. Any schools fighting during the season would be automatically suspended for the season. Well Jennings and Washington-Marion girls fought and were suspended for 45 days. Friday night Iowa and Lagrange girls got into a fight and so far nothing has happened. I don’t think they even turned it in. Shame shame on the Lhsaa and both schools. Teach some control to your kids and this wouldn’t. Shame on kplc sports for not talking about it on their broadcast it is news good or bad. They were at the game so Ryan Blakely you didn’t do your job. If you are going to punish some schools for fighting and not the others how can you call that fair. Watch as the playoffs get closer what starts to happen with fights. Get some control Big Daddy Bonine. Get out of the ivory tower and take your boy Lee Sanders with you and do your job.

Heard Ruston is getting a big time transfer out of Arkansas for football. Someone said it was on socual media haven't seen anything yet. I do know the Hudson kid is for real either sport a man among boys,also the Ford kid the point guard is Karl Malone's grandson and he is also for real on the court. Hudson's dad told me at a tournament his son would probably go to LSU then he said where ever the money is the best.

Let’s put the blame on the school board administrators. All they worry about is lawsuits. I had a great principal, she wanted to move up told us what she could do for us in a position that was higher up. Boy that was a bunch of bull all she ever talked about was following policy so I don’t get sued. She also got a big raise and none of the teachers that worked for her got a cent. So consequently she left them to be lead by an idiot for 2 years, who couldn’t find his butt with both hands a map and a flashlight. So there you go school boards only care about themselves.

As usual the refs no matter if it is high school, college, or pro can and will always be able to influence the outcome of games. When you don’t notice the officials they have done a great job. I can honestly say those days are gone forever. No accountability. They get to control everything and put on a show now. The money they make is pretty good now also. I do know on the high school level some of the guys can’t even pass the test so they are allowed to cheat. I would not be surprised when a coach or player takes a swing at an official. Some of these guys are real smart asses and walk around like they are the greatest thing on earth. Go out and watch a high school game or just watch ESPN.

I heard today from the LHSAA, that all of these kids that have left HCA and gone to other schools may not be eligible because the school is open and nothing has been said about it shutting down yet. I would be very careful and not play any of these kids yet until something is in writing. I know the adults are getting arrested, but the boys that did this to the younger kids should never be allowed to play any high school sport again. They are predators. If any college wants one of these kids the coach should be immediately fired. No second chances on sexual assault cases. These people are severely sick.

I got to talk to a guy that used to work for the lhsaa. He said Bonine wants out trying to get them to buy out his contract like BK at LSU. He thinks Federico would be hired and that the one time transfer may get passed. He also said the Lhsaa has more than enough money after all of the ticket increases at state championship events. Also said the executive committee made a big mistake giving him an extension and that the new director needs to be from in state.
