The Ridiculousness of Houston Scarborough making the Playoffs

[#62jjohnson]

im not taking shots at the team , its the UIL . I thought you had to WIN district games to get in , right ? well scarborough hasnt won a game period !!!! so isnt that a contradiction ? i will answer it , YES !!!!  what about neighboring district teams that won 2 district games but will be at home next week , is that fair to them ? well i have said it time and time again 4 is too many teams going in . yes i know you will have a cinderella story like gladewater last year coming out the district of doom with a 4-6 record and go 4 deep in the playoffs and finish 7-7 . were they a bad team that got in because of the 4 team getting in system ,  or did they just hit their peak at the right time ? because they did better than the district runner up (gilmer ) . i just dont think a team with a losing record 4-6 or 3-7 should get in , hell even when it started being 2 teams per district  back in 82 westbrook at least went 6-4 (winning record) and we all know how that ended . we do have too remember it was a lot of holdovers from that 1981 hebert team that had played in the semifinals and would loose to willowridge 14-15.  plus they were coached by alex durley , enough said .

Jerry Ball and that Hebert team knocked us out in bi-district that year. We played them in '80 too.

damn!!! drawing them 2 years in a row . the old days district champs vs district champs

Yep. Beat them in '80 on the way to State. 9-1 Navasota stayed home cause they didn't win district. Times have changed since you can now go in at 0-10.

yall had some good teams , especially the 80 team , yall met them 3 years in a row in bidistrict . helluva games i bet .

The problem lies with the formation of 5 team districts. You are ASKING for poor, weak teams in the playoffs with 4 of 5 going in from that. No one in the bottom half a district should get in. Personally I wish for 2 teams only getting in, and thats only from 8 team districts. 

 

At the very least they should limit it to 4 teams in out of an 8 team district, and 2 out of any district that has less than 8.

Someone asked back on page 2, where does the money go?  Good question!!!  Anyone know if it can be viewed online?  UIL has a budget and I would guess they are required to produce some form of financial statements. 

 

Doesn't every school pay a fee at beginning of the year to "be a member" of UIL?

 I posted a link to all of the UIL financial reports.

While it is utterly ridiculous that Scarborough makes the playoffs, I feel bad for those kids. Their numbers aren't that great and they go through crazy turnovers with coaches. It's almost an impossible job to deal with. I hope they do win a game sometime soon. I can't imagine all that losing and what it does to a kid.

I respect any kid that sticks it out when things are tough. It's easy to play on a winner.

What does their coach tell them next Monday? How can you pep them up or prepare them for a team like WOS? I also hope that they dont do stupid things in the game out of desperation and get someone hurt. Im in no way saying they are like that, but when you have nothing to lose...........

Dont we have a couple of LaMarque people on here? Can they answer that question?

We have no La Marque peeps on here. They wore their welcome out during the Lumberton playoff run. ;)

 

I invite a couple of them back.

Its the fault of T-ball. No winners or losers!  No everyone does not deserve a damn trophy!!!!!

Only in the State of Texas.. This is the product of taking 4 teams from each district... Making the playoff isnt what it used to be...

 

 

Splitting the lower classifications ahead then sending four instead of two doubled everyones chances. Its ridiculous. Its embarrassing for some.
After 1st Q WOS will have its JV on the field and it still could end up a 90 point route.

 

 

Sure is. Just look how watered down 22-5A district is now. It's a shame....

[Stattrax]

Yeah your right, add a few schools from around Houston, then bam... It all goes down hill..

Coach says "Boys , its been a long season , but across that field are a bunch of guys just like you who think they have NFL talent. 2 maybe 3 may go on to play in college but the others will be in line at college registration just like you. So go on and give it your best , hell , come december hundreds of thousands of boys will have played their last high school game. Just make sure you get that college degree.
When the guys are taking a break swapping old high school football stories about how great they were and what they were "ranked" , you can walk in and say breaks over , get your tails back to work you bunch of has beens; by the way i was on that team yall beat down.
Then return to your corner office and kick your feet up.😆

WOS has more than 2 or 3 kids that will play at the next level.

Saw Scrabrough play this year. They were down 56-0 at half. Didn't see any bad sportsmanship. Felt really bad for them. They looked athletic but didn't have any fundamentals. They only had eleven show up for two a days and had a few show up later. They should go outlaw schedule or scrap the sport IMHO.
