Ok....I get that most schools don't have many 4.4 guys, but the hill has 2 or 3 4.6 guys with a bunch of 5.1 guys.....I'm not saying that these kids can't win....just think that expectations are pretty high for kids that are just not very athletic. Do think the main problem is kids are wanting out of the program. Maybe it's happening everywhere, but there a lot of kids concentrating on 1 sport, and it's not foorball

That is a problem.  Before speed and size....heart! If kids are wanting out of the program, doesn't matter who you bring.....

Katy is affluent like Allen is affluent, all the kids that go to Allen wouldn't fit in at the other school in Allen which is Lovejoy if you know what I'm saying without going into depth. At one point North Shore didn't lose a regular season game for 8 years straight because of the talent they had, even this year Manvel, Trinity and Westfield which they lost to were all equally as talented but it just wasn't their year. If you have the four and five star kids at the right positions there's no replacement for it, not even money and coaching as you saw at the 4A-D1 title games and up this past year. Enrollment and high level recruits might not guarantee titles every year, especially when other teams can match it given years, but it does make you a perennial powerhouse.  

Lovejoy is its own ISD and has been since July 2, 1917.  Lovejoy isn't part of Allen and is a more affluent district.  Lovejoy use to pay Allen ISD to send Lovejoy kids through 6-12.  In 03-04 Allen voted to not renew the contract and at the same time Lovejoy voted to create their own secondary system and build schools.  Lovejoy was never part of Allen's long term plans.
