Everything was all good in Pirate land last year!  I 110% believe Vidor would have won a couple, few playoffs game if the team would have been healthy but injuries are part of football...hell they lost their coach on the way to the game! But you know as well as I do that its always easier to criticize a coach, team when things are going bad. The one thing you NEVER hear is people thoughts on how to right the ship.

 

 

What amazes me, some posters seem to think Vidor goes to the spread and viola, we become a powerhouse.  If most teams run the spread, and it makes you a powerhouse, who’s losing besides Vidor?  Sorry folks but I’m pretty sure switching to the spread is not the secret answer to success.  As @raideroldtimer said,some years Vidor (and Ltown) will have better athletes and a good year.  Others, not so good.  There’s a lot of things that make winners.  One, which is often overlooked, is a winning tradition.  Ned & PNG have that, although they’re not the powerhouses they used to be.  Alas, Vidor & Ltown don’t.  Then good coaching & enough good athletes.  Matthews has been a good Coach.  Not great, but good.  I was around during Interstate 10 Vidor 0.  Back then a Coach with a .500 winning percentage would’ve been a hero.  I’ll admit this year has been extremely disappointing.  I’m no Coach so I don’t have all the answers.  If I thought Vidor switching to the spread would be a magical solution, I’d be all for it, but Vidor won 8 games last year and guess what - virtually everyone of those 8 teams ran the spread, and were defeated be a Slot T team.

Am I confused? I thought they were 1200+ kids one of if not the biggest?? Not far from the next classification up and I expect vidor to grow by 24

Hanging between 1200-1225… my guess is next round 1275 will be the cutoff… banking Vidor is good

    • 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.
