They lost in the Elite 8 on Saturday night, what a ride that was.

If you have a daughter that wants to continue to play basketball after High School, do not blow off Div 3 schools.

Div 1 is obviously the big dogs, yes Div 3 does not pay “athletic money” but my daughter is getting an absolutely awesome education at a very very discounted price with grants and scholarships. She is having one of the best college experiences possible.

My oldest daughter attends Texas A&M and tells us all the time that she wishes she was having the same experience as her younger sister.

I played a couple of years of soccer at ETBU, and had a blast!  You're absolutely correct that D3 is a great option for kids without offers who'd like to continue their playing experience a few years.

Division 3 schools beat D1 and D2 teams every year.  Non athletic scholarship should be confused with lack of talent.

Congrats to your daughter on what sounds like an incredible season.

      Waco LaVega is about equal to Hitchcock in speed and size.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      By Goslin · Posted

      You’re the one talking about Elementary school kids.  What I’m saying is that there are kids who play Jr School ball in GCCISD and then transfer into BHISD/GPISD/LPISD/DPISD between 8th and 9th.  Doing so means no PAPF/eligibility questionnaire and they get to play Freshman/JV, work out with the team, etc. and look homegrown because they transferred before freshman year.  it’s a loophole.  All the big programs do it.  That’s why the UIL rules changes, to close up the 8th-to-9th transfer portal, and it isn’t even taking effect until Aug 1 2025 so you’ll see these transfers this summer. Also, as far as BHISD being closed instead of open, just look at the GCCISD transfer numbers I posted.  GCCISD loses twice as many kids to BHISD per year, the “closed” district, than they do to the open Districts in the area.  Anyone who lives here knows folks who’ve used MeeMaw’s address to get their kids in there.  It is what it is and if it wasn’t, UIL wouldn’t be changing those rules and sending one of their own to the DECs now would they?   Go ask Coach Abseck how many kids in his program are 8th Grade transfers.  We know that at North Shore that number is at least 20% because of the numbers they had to provide UIL during their recruiting investigation.  I’ll bet BHISD’s numbers are AT LEAST that.  Again, THEY ALL DO IT.

      According to Texas Tribune, Gccisd, Laporte and deer park are all rated B. Barbers Hill is an A. GC has a higher 4 year graduation rate than LP or DP. BH is far and away the best district on this side of town. GC has a much higher percentage economically disadvantaged at 71.7% with LP being next closest at 52%. Surprised that GC is performing so well considering. All of the players that would likely make a great football team are out by GCM and Sterling. If GCM had Lee's coach and dropped back down into 5A division 1, they would be able to compete very well against BH and LP. I don't know what their problem is with getting the athletes to gel into an actual team. Lee still beat them both this year and was sort of a down year by Lee's standards. Lot of injuries some kids moved out of district and they are paper thin as it is.
