As long as that school accepts out of district transfers (most do), then a kid can go to a school of their choosing. If it’s truly for a better academic situation, which is a legitimate reason, then the child should have no problem sitting a calendar year for UIL eligibility. If they’re going to be on a better team.. then they need to wait a year.

A lot of schools offer open enrollment for out of district transfers. Many always have.

You mean other than with their parent/guardian? Or in the case of a child possibly without one? I mean that if an athlete chooses to go to a school outside of the district in which they reside, have a caregiver that is ok with it, and have a means of getting to/from said school, the UIL is NOT going to force that child to stay at the school that they live within the district boundaries.

Kids can play wherever they want to play. Also, they aren't forced to reside anywhere. Just no that if a kid doesn't reside in the district after moving, then they'll have to wait a calendar year to play where they want. It's been debated several times on here, but that rule is the only viable option to ensure that UIL sports doesn't turn into one big recruit fest. At least.. not openly.

Loaded? Now see.. it’s statements like that one that get you ridiculed. Relax. I didn’t say HD would lose. Just implied that it might make things interesting. One time over at Burkeville when they got a few transfers they won it all. I applaud your devotion, but no team in the district is loaded. If you think that then you don’t know what loaded means.

I have a coaching friend that told me Burkeville just got three out of district transfers eligible to play through UIL. From Newton or Jasper or something.. Apparently UIL is being extra lenient because of COVID. Might shake things up.

There are too many situations where people relocate due to jobs, educational opportunities, divorce, etc.. you can’t punish kids with legitimate transfer reasons due to a few.

Carthage gonna Carthage.

I don’t think there’s a question as to who the best team in the district is.

And again.. it doesn't happen overnight. For a school to think they can bring in a coach and expect results before the junior high kids even make it to graduation is just about the dumbest thing that can be thought in the sports world. Has Hardin ever even had a football coach see 7th graders make to graduation?

Gene pools can be slowly overcome with time, culture change, and consistency, but it doesn’t happen overnight. We’re already having a conversation of a coach “playing kids out of position”.. or whatever other excuse can be made for being habitual losers. Well done, Hardin. You’ll never change.

I’m not defending anyone or anything. I wasn’t there. Just stating that sometimes penalties/fouls will seem lopsided for no other reason than it actually was. Comparing the number of flags thrown per team won’t convince me.

Sometimes a team commits a lot more penalties.. because they just commit a lot more penalties. It’s not the job of the officiating crew to make sure there’s an equal amount of flags thrown for each team.

I’ll take “Reasons Hardin will never be any good in football” for $500, Alex.

It is entirely possible for a team to play better/worse one week later. Or.. maybe HJ is a little better than you think. Or perhaps Silsbee is a little worse. I don’t know.

26-21 is getting thumped?

I was just meaning that it's a little funny. "The Hispanic influx hasn't had an impact on our football team. See.. we had a Hispanic All State kicker." A previous comment alluded to soccer usually being the sport of choice for said demographic. And then you throw out a kicker lol. I just thought it ironic and a little humorous. Yes, I'll agree that there are usually a number of variables that play a role into a usual competitive football program falling off. Shift of demographics still has to be considered.

You're using a kicker as an example?

Corpus Christi Calallen has a lot of players that are NOT Hispanic. And yes.. Region 4 also plays a part. [Hidden Content]-(corpus-christi,tx)/football/roster.htm

Hate to say it.. but I've heard that the WH AD has been known to not be good for football programs. In the name of basketball I mean.

Is it true that Tarkington has a move in that did good things last night? That never hurts.

I meant who will be the one district win?

Who?

Who said it was a hoax? The reaction is the hoax... being killed in a plane crash isn't a hoax either. Doesn't stop people from continuing their lives. I feel sorry for the schools and kids that are held hostage by all of this.

Perhaps you picked the wrong profession. Perhaps we all did.
