I have been meaning to add to this topic for weeks now.  I had the pleasure of meeting Coach Sims about 6 years ago.  Only had to coach against her once  (was VERY...I mean VERY lucky to get out with a win) But I did get to watch her teams play at least once...(and some times more) a year since then.  Her teams were ALWAYS well prepared. Her players always conducted themselves with class which is a direct reflection of their leader. 

Carol was also very loyal to the other teams in her district.  I'd call and ask questions about other district opponents and she was professional, but would never give out information that she felt would put them at a disadvantage. I have great respect for her because of her loyalty to the other programs in the Golden Triangle.

I consider her a true friend and always enjoy visiting with her at coaching clinics and the state tournament.  The coaching profession can be very tough...lots of cut throat and back stabbing.  Coach Sims always took the high road and stayed above it all.  The profession will truly miss her as will all those young people who hearts she touch.

Enjoy your retirement.  You are a CLASS ACT!!!!

      Waco La Vega (42) vs West Orange-Stark (20) - FINAL

      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.

      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.
