blah blah blah get off the couch and get the majority of the community involved. things might get better if not blah blah blah

My guess is you have no idea who is on or off the couch. The people on this board are off the couch. You cant make other adults be responsible their ship has sailed.

Well I don't live in the WOCCISD district, and don't have kids that go there so I don't have a dog in this fight. But as I grew up in the cove and went to West Orange schools all 12 years, its troubling to see a once mighty, and proud school be brought down to such levels.  I did make it to 2 home football games this past year, and was amazed at how small our numbers have become. Sure I knew we have dropped to 3A (we were 5A when i went there) so I knew it would be different, but still was a little shocked.  Even the crowd was smaller and ALOT  quieter than they used to be.  I can remember games against TJ, PN-G, Nederland where the stadium literally schook. I don't know the answer to stop all the people from leaving, and don't know what will get ALL athletic programs back to where they should and need to be, but SOMETHING  needs to be done. I admit I personally seen a little, but have read a lot and WOS just appears to be in an all around sad, sad situation.

Will WOS as we know it today exist in 5 years or will LCM consume it to become its "LCM South" campus?

  From the outside looking in and at the rate things are going, it doesn't appear that the WOS district has 5 years. (A rumored $2 Million dollar deficit this year)

  Much has been said about the school board making some "controversial" decisions of late, but does the board or district have a "plan" that's been made public as to how they can get back on track?  It seems that some things would be much easier for the people of the district to swallow if the district made public their path forward instead of coming up with "surprises" every couple of months.

    • 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
