I don't hate it, but am in agreement with splitting the districts before the season. that way it doesn't feel like teams get to "dodge" certain schools because they got lucky and two teams with higher enrollment than them made the playoffs in their district. that said, I don't hate the extra games, or the extra opportunities for schools to make a deep run. When four teams make the playoffs from each district, it's kinda hard for me to argue that the split is what's watering down high school sports. Having HF and BC girls play each other for a shot at making the state semis was pretty special a few weeks ago, for both teams and communities. If things hadn't been split it's likely neither team would've had that opportunity. I can promise you that none of the HF girls who took their team further than it's been since the 1960s were sitting around thinking "this isn't an accomplishment because they split the divisions." It meant everything to them, and to their fans.

Pretty wild that before tonight La Marque had two losses on the season, both to vidor a couple of days apart. And they had a very good chance to win this one, just couldn’t quite finish it off

Congrats on a great season, coach! You’re building something special over there!

Kountze matches up with the same school that the girls just beat in the final if I’m not mistaken.

Birdville 77, Frisco Heritage 71. Final

Mansfield Summit 48, Killeen Ellison 40. Final

FBM 47, Alamo Heights 29. Final

Houston Washington 76, Austin LBJ 56. final

Meyer 58, Ropes 51. Final

Paradise 48, City View 42. Final

So it IS possible for us to agree on something 😀. He’s done a fantastic job!

CCVM got a little dirty there at the end. The Brook did a great job not getting sucked into anything that could affect them next game. What a performance!

Fantastic season for Onalaska! Hard to go out that way, but what a year!

Just got it going, thanks

Stream working, or still down?

This is my last post on this because the argument is so dumb, but how many years did you work in Beaumont? Drive across town from home to work daily? Im not worried about when your mom drove you around when you were 11, or when you drove around as a teen from home to school or wherever you went to hang out. As an adult I drove the same route across Beaumont twice a day more days than not for TWELVE years. You may have been born there, but I know from your age and your work history I drove there a whole heck of a lot more than you ever did. More often than not it was a 30 minute commute. Sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more, depending on traffic. While I went from one end of town to the other, I wasn’t quite going to the outer edges of either side of the district map. Bussing to one high school would be a nightmare unless they built a brand new campus in the middle of town somewhere.

Kountze is unreal tonight! 68-19 going to the 4th!

Well, you’d know better than me. I only made the commute for 11 years. Actually 12 if you count the year I went to Lamar. as for your second point, I’m not arguing they’d get better, but you’d have to make a whoooole lot of changes before they’d be a good 6A team. It’s not like they combine and get to keep playing the Baytown schools

Reading is FUNdamental. Lived there for 14 years. Commuted crosstown from the west end to the pear orchard for 11 of those years. As I clearly stated in my other post. You think I’m lying because I don’t want one school in Beaumont? You’re right about one thing: i don’t live there now. it wouldn’t affect me in any way. That doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. And once again, if you think a 6-5 or 7-4 football record is worth all of the other issues going to one school would bring, there’s really not much point in taking this conversation any further. You aren’t combining one mediocre and one bad 5A schools together and getting a dominant 6A squad.

I drove it 187 days a year for 11 years. Traffic at 4:30 pm (and 7 am) is a lot different than it is at 6:00 pm. I’d get off work and either have to drive through neighborhoods and red lights or spent 12-15 min on Eastex to go 5 miles to the college st exit. You’re also neglecting the fact that Beaumont’s district boundaries extend beyond the city limits in all directions. And there isn’t any universe where you combine two football teams that went 4-6 and 3-7 (not a quality win for either team) in 5A and they’re “literally dominate” in 6A. Especially in the district they’d join.

And a lot of shots. But when he does play defense he’s tough.

Columbus is fast! Everything they do is at 100 mph and it’s giving Onalaska fits so far

Columbus up 25-12 after a deep three by rigdon to end the 1st q

Onalaska cold from deep right now. Getting good looks
