Nice article 

Very Proud of this team and the program as a whole. Still disappointed in the 2-point OT loss to Willowridge in the 94 playoffs. That was the pseudo state championship game. Willowridge went on to win state (with ease). But that 94 team with Omar Sneed (jr year) and current Texas State AD Donny Coryell is easily the most talented in school history. Chris Coleman just couldn’t get over the hump for some reason. Including the 1997 Regional Final loss to North Shore. I miss 90’s Basketball lol

Soulja not going to like this, but if they hadn’t split the division this year, United wouldn’t have sniffed the Regional Final. I watched United get dismantled by BH, and they wouldn’t have got past FBM either. I thought United exceeded what they had to work with knowing they were super young this year.

I disagree.  BU split with a very good Memorial team and played reasonably well against WB. You say they got dismantled  by BH.  BU did beat BH…. 🤷🏾‍♂️ But we all have our opinions.

Just my opinion. BH lost by 6 at United, but later in season lost to BH by 15 and it was worse then that. United will be strong in a couple years, but I think they would’ve gotten beat in playoffs by PAM, BH, or FBM before getting to regional final if there wasn’t a split division is what I’m saying.

Soulja please stop it, I had to chance to work closely with Green during his time at NS & he’s NEVER been a big X&O’s guy. Even if you go watch him the past 4-5 years with Yates & company…he didn’t run anything spectacular, he just had the players. Which nothing is wrong with that, but when you don’t have those dudes you gotta be able to make adjustments & like I said earlier Green is a sure fire HOF, but I call a spade a spade.

Side note: being in the building and watching this game, I can’t help but wonder how much more successful BISD athletics would be if it only had one school. 

Beyond impractical. How many cities the size of Beaumont in Texas only have one high school? In population, but especially in area. It wouldn’t make sense to be bussing kids 30+ minutes (without even beginning to factor in stops) one way just to have better sports teams. Not mention having to build a new school, replace the staff that wouldn’t travel the extra distance, etc.

Allen iSD has one the high school. The largest in the state. Yes tonight they are in the state semi-finals as well. Population of Allen is very similar to that of Beaumont

Not sure if what I'm finding is accurate. Populations may be similar, but each districts land area is very differrnt. Allen and Allen ISD has an area of about 29 square miles.  Beaumont is around 85, but the district area is over 150. Again, not sure how accurate the ALL KNOWING internet is.  If it is accurate the transportation issue does make a difference 

Never worked in school transportation and glad of it!

Yes 21,000 students in Allen ISD and 16,000 in Beaumont ISD. The square mileage would only be a factor for the high school level. It can work

you'd have kids having to wake up at 5 to catch the bus or not getting home until 6:00 in the evenings. it would not work. grades would suffer, test scores would suffer, and absenteeism and truancy would rise, all in the name of a better football team? You'd also be greatly decreasing the amount of opportunities for kids to participate in extracurriculars. Combine all of the sports, drill teams, cheer squads, UIL teams, and anything else you can think of, and you have half the spots and twice the kids. To be honest, just about the only thing that would legitimately benefit would be football, and maybe band, although I think there would be some marching band culture lost if you combined the two schools. Are we really doing this so that the new Timberbruins football team can go 7-4? The basketball teams have enough success separated.
