My Outlook on the West Brook Situation


BMTSoulja1

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking, since West Brook is scheduled to travel almost 600 miles for district games this year, it really makes no sense to keep Ozen playing up being that your reasoning was to cut back on travel...  Someone either goofed up big time or there really an ulterior motive for messing Ozen over.  The funds budgeted for travel costs have probably been exceeded with West Brook alone, so the excuse of saving is way out of the question.  Ultimately, UIL chitted on West Brook, and BISD chitted on Ozen.  Smh

BISD made a decision to help in their finances. They cannot help where UIL put West Brook.

Think it is a wise decision.

The best thing would have been to drop Ozen down and let the winning begin which might bring more people to the games. Raise money thru ticket sales and concession. IMO the travel would have been about the same or close to it.

Athletes were let down. The ones coming up the pipe may shift to the other schools, which is only going to hurt Ozen.

Yea, I know, I see what they were thinking before, but seeing it play out now, it turns out to be a pretty dumb decision being that the budget funds will be depleted on West Brook's travel alone.

i swear i think the UIL sent westbrook to region 2 on purpose.

I had figured that 21-6A would change some with PAM going down and GCM coming up (even swap with 22-5A). With CE King moving up, I really thought that maybe just North Shore would get moved to a different district. I didn't think that they would dismantle the district completely.

District 10-4A Div 1

Bridge City 

Cleveland

Huffman Hargrave

Livingston (brutal drive)

Navasota (even more of a brutal drive)

Little Cypress-Mauriceville

Silsbee

 

The rest are manageable distances - BISD is well renowned for their decision making skills

What about the WO-S district?

Is that the District they'd be in if they'd stayed down?

 

District 12 -4A Div 2

Hamshire-Fannett

Liberty

Orangefield

Hardin-Jefferson

West Orange-Stark

 

Farthest trip would be a 40 minute drive to Liberty, everything else is within 20 minutes. Ozen and WOS in the same district would be scary in 4A-Div 2

In comparison to this:

Baytown Lee

Beaumont Central

Lumberton

Nederland

PN-G

PA Memorial

Vidor

 

The district that Ozen opted to stay in is much easier travel wise.

    • I’m super excited for this game.  PNG has the team and game plan that will slow TH down.  No way we can stop them the entire game, but I feel if we slow them down we can win similar to what we did last year to Lake Creek and SOC.  
    • Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.
    • I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3
    • Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
    • Got my hotel booked...an hour away. They're having some kind of Light festival, so busy times in Nat.
