Would you swap Angleton for Crosby and Galveston Ball for Galena Park?  Any others?

I would keep GPHS with HISD and also put Spring Woods in.  Also, I would add Lufkin in that HISD district because Delmar Stadium is the shortest for travel.  Besides that, I would swap Gball, Angelton and BH for Porter, KPark, and Crosby.  Also Sterlinig can go to Dist 11 as well.  So simple but I suspect they have blind people as map readers

Keep in mind shuffling a lot of things up at this point would rock the boat for a bunch of predistrict games already agreed on, so the effects would reverberate beyond the district. 

Eventhough, the districts have been laid out, nothing's official until after all appeals have been heard(Feb 20th)

Angleton's and Lufkin's appeals are probably a package deal. They won't put them in the same district. Spring Woods also appealed to move to D10 with HISD schools mostly. As bad as they always are, they don't want to play a team with a pulse. Galveston Ball didn't appeal, so will stay in D9.

Tomorrow is going to be very interesting.

I got a gut feeling the UIL will greenlight this. I think they might think they will be appeasing two for one since it shapes up as a package deal. For BH, Angleton is closer, 73 miles and 1:10 drive time, but that can expand due to Houston Friday rush hour traffic and lots of lights. Lufkin is 1:55 and 115 miles, but its an easy cruise up hwy 59. I would still pick Angleton though. 

FWIW, Calpreps had Lufkin the better team last season, Angleton was better in 2022. Whatever.

You made a good point there, I think the UIL "sometimes" looks at distance between opponents and doesn't take into consideration traffic in some areas, especially around the major cities.

    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
