Is it alot more that play that other foot-ball? 

They still fight the numbers game. All 3 schools field a JV and Varsity. Lee has a 3rd team that only plays on Saturdays. 

We just have a lot of kids that work to help the family or to have the things they want. Sports take a back seat. Many work and play a sport. It's tough though.

Baseball/softball is one of the few sports that seems to have good participation. Tennis at RSS and GCM do well too.

I think it's a variety of things. Olin built a great program. Kids  moved in to play for him. When we went to 3 schools, the talent level became too diluted and Lee being in the old part of town was already seeing declining numbers. Similar to the situation in the Golden Triangle. The difference though is that the third high school was an immediate and drastic effect where the decline in setx is slow so they are able to maintain quality programs. So now you have some instances where a few kids move to stronger local programs such as Crosby and Northshore or just lose interest. I know that there are a number of single sport kids, namely basketball and baseball, at GCM that could help the program either as starters or just adding depth. Also the shifting demographics like Buddy alluded to have a small impact as well though I don't see it getting as bad as Pasadena. 

That being said, there is a glimmer of hope. Baytown and Barbers Hill are still seeing tremendous growth. GCM sits in the highest growth area of Baytown and is already adding on to the building with room for more additions. Hell, there is even supposed to be a new master planned, $200,000 + home neighborhood being built in Lee's zone in the Evergreen area. That will probably effect BCA' s enrollment more than Lee's but will provide more tax revenue for the school.

      Port Neches-Groves vs Texas High

      I too, wish #15 was healthy and playing.  And also another RB (can't recall the #), who went down in the first game of the season. But, some others have stepped up and are hard runners.  I'm really looking forward to watching this game.

      Still, from what little I saw, it should have been a much closer game.  WOS was missing some fundamentals on defense, and a lack of imaginative play calling on offense.  Just my opinion as an objective observer on Texan Live, which was horrible btw, but that's another story.

      West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?

      Port Neches-Groves vs Texas High

      Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.
