I'm an idiot, a move to 29-3A would put LM into region 4...didn't give it thought before I posted. Well that would make for interesting region 4. I'll have to go look at the successful 3A teams in that rebion...I'm thinking off bat Cuero and maybe Giddings, Gonzales is undefeated this year. CC-Miller is one as well.

I look at this way, unless something drastically happens over there at LaMarque to stop the drop in enrollment, 3A will not have to worry about them for very long.  ;) In four years time, LaMarque has dropped from 1200 to now 741. At that rate they will only be 3A for just these next two years, then down to 2A.

I also believe that with this dramatic drop in enrollment, the talent level will drop as well.

LaMarque has some bigger issues over there that has nothing to do with sports. School district is rated unacceptable and seems to be a lot of internal problems as well.

Losing almost 500 students (just over a third of the enrollment) in just 4-5 years, is very alarming and that is not a good thing, even though it drops them in classification.

My old college buddy teaches there and said since he has been there, over 300 kids have transferred from La Marque to private schools, Texas City and other South Houston schools. The average GPA is 2.5 on 4.0 scale. Drop out rate is higher than any school in the Houston Area. Some of their best teachers have also either retired or transferred as well. Wild!

Question... If they are dropped to 3A cant they opt. to stay in 4A?
[/quote]no its goes strictly by enrollment

Wrong. A school can always opt to stay up in classification. Many schools (several HISD) have been doing this for many years. An El Paso area school has had 3A numbers for 12 years, and they have opted to stay 5A due to travel.

LaMarque might be a little hard to deal w/ on that level!  Right now they have 34 killers suiting up every Friday against 55-70 opponents across the field.  In a very, very tough District.
[/quote]i think you might be suprised at the 3a talent out there just in this area cold spring would be a tough game even for the best 4a schools although I will admit lm is coming out of maybe the toughest district in texas so week in and week out there competion level as a whole would drop. Lm made the playoffs for the first time in like 3 years last year and made the most of it but they are not going to be the powerhouse they usef to be in 4a with the enrollment numbers going down so far.

For example:

District 22-4A

Houston Wheatley    1,101
Houston Worthing      1,013
[b]Houston Washington    946
Houston Furr              865
Houston Scarborough  733
Houston Jones            686
Houston Kashmere      596[/b]


5 of those schools have 3A numbers and have had 3A numbers for several years but have opted to stay 4A for the past several years.

Wow looking through dc and kashmere and jones are the 2 smallest 4a schools in the state wonder why they stay 4a
[/quote]


Because it keeps them in a local HISD district. Otherwise they would have to travel way out side Houston to be in a 3A district.

If LaMarque decided to stay 4A, would they be able to drop back to 3A in the next realignment if they chose to?  :-\
[/quote]

When you opt to stay up a classification, it's only for that particular realignment (2 years). When the next realignment comes (2014) if LaMarque were to still have 3A numbers, they can still opt to stay up or go down where their enrollment puts them.

[/quote] Thanks... That will be interesting to see. If they chose to stay 4A. And they don't play so well in 4A. If they chose to drop in the next realignment to 3A to better their chances of another state run.

Actually guys, lamarque had the opportunity to drop at last alignment according to one of their coaches, but decided to stay in 4a due to travel. He told me that there is enough 3a number schools in Houston to make a 3a district now. And secondly, what do we have to do to get away from those guys....geez...lol.

Wrong. Their enrollment for last realignment was 996, cut off was 990.

Like I said, LaMarque will probably have to go Region IV if they decide to go down to 3A, unless those 5-6 HISD schools finally decide to drop down to 3A.

      Are they offering refuge to criminals? Or is it a Trump talking point? Refugees are people who leave their country due to unwarranted prosecution. I actually take care of 2 refugee kids who have complex medical needs   No, refugees are not criminals, and the assumption that they are more likely to be criminals than the general population is incorrect:                                                                                          Research shows immigrants commit crimes at lower rates Immigrants in the United States commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population, including unauthorized immigrants. This is true across immigrant groups.                  Immigration doesn't raise crime rates Immigrants don't raise crime rates in the communities where they settle. In fact, some studies suggest that immigration can lower crime rates, especially violent crime.                  Anti-immigration politicians have spread a myth Anti-immigration politicians have repeatedly tried to link immigrants to crime, but research shows this is a myth.                  Refugees don't cause crime in Turkey A study found that refugees don't have a causal effect on crime rates in Turkey. In fact, the study found that refugees may have a negative effect on crime rates per capita.

      I think it's actually the first time ever to get past the second round. Some older folks might try to tell you about Scott High but I wasn't here when that school was around 😆

      Smith is 78-31 overall and 18-8 in the playoffs. His first three years he went 23-15 overall and 6-3 in playoffs. His Silsbee teams are averaging making 3rd round every year in his 9 years as head coach.
