rollinac Posted November 7, 2012 Report Posted November 7, 2012 Interesting article....although their definition of "Houston Area" is quite Liberal!! Didn't realize Lufkin was in the Houston Area. El Campo, Brenham yea, but Bay City is a good 2 hour drive.
bh89-2 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Posted November 7, 2012 Bay City has crashed over the years. That town has really declined. El Campo is always good, not sure why either. Not any real growth out that far. Just corn fed football players. Brenham, well pft...... ;D ;D ;D Just kidding green shoes..... ;)

87Cub Posted November 7, 2012 Report Posted November 7, 2012 [quote name="liltex" post="1322710" timestamp="1352306980"]LaMarque 569 wins 71% winning %[/quote]Yeah, I think that LaMarque should definitely be on that list.

Bigdog Posted November 7, 2012 Report Posted November 7, 2012 Yeah, they have Brenham on the list, which is what an hour and a half from Houston and not LM? Their "Houston area" is a little lopsided.

CAL2TEX Posted November 7, 2012 Report Posted November 7, 2012 what... no Barbers Hill :-\ :-\ :-\ ??
Wonderboy Posted November 7, 2012 Report Posted November 7, 2012 What no WO-S. Their winning % is like 79%. WO-S is certainly closer to Houston than Lufkin is. I realize the article was counting total number of wins but percentage should count for something too :'(
liltex Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 Anybody know the # of wins Jack Yates HS has in FB?

Guest donniebarnwell Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 DFW has been a lot more dominant than Houston area over the past few years

Wasn't looking at it like that.
cougar2011 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 La marque doesnt like being known as a houston school..... but Our winning tradition has always been strong. And the Houston area is the closest "big" county to our little district so we should definitely be on that list.... 5 championship teams and 10 other playoff finals appearances. The numbers speak for themselves.

I think we've proven time and time again that we can compete with just about anyone... We have moved down to 3a because of our low enrollment and yet, i can name at least 2 or 3 5a teams that would have nightmares about La marque's defense this year.

[/quote]Geographically, Lufkin shouldnt be included in the Houston area, but they do play in a district that includes Houston area teams like the Woodlands etc. I'm guessing that's the reason.
