Wow has it come to this for La Porte, I remember when the bulldogs always had a great team, big runningbacks strong o line and good defense  . I mean they did just beat a really good Memorial team a few years back ...my how times have changed 

Dave Campbell had them in the 4th spot for playoff predictions.  With Deer Park struggling as well, besides the 1 and 2 spot with North Shore and West Brook, it has left the 3 and 4 spot open between Channelview, CE King, United and Deer Park.  We will know a little more after this week...

Judson seems to do just fine with a huge Hispanic enrollment. Actually considerably more the LP. 

To be fair.. I think it's safe to say that a large number of region 4 schools have huge Hispanic enrollments.  This isn't exactly the same.. With the exception of a small handful of schools region 4 isn't really relevant in UIL athletics these days.  Even that handful of schools does not  win titles lately.  Including Judson.

Not an accurate comparison.

Really low #s. Should be 5A but they still got kids /players. Don’t know what’s happened. Two defensive linemen committed early one to Air Force and one to Texas St. Had a freshman running back and freshman tight end last year that could go. 

Totally agree. My point was Hispanic's had nothing to do with their performance this year which was previously eluded too.

Just wondering how many titles LP had won before the demographic change? Using titles as relevance leaves out a vast majority of high schools.

I’m not sure if they’ve ever won a state title

I know they were making deep runs there for awhile, now they’re struggling to win a game

I'm not using titles as relevance.  I'm showing that ANY team out of region 4 still can't compete with the rest of the state these days.  The original point was that LP has fallen by the way side because of dropping enrollment and a demographic swing.  Someone said.."well Judson has a lot of Hispanics".. Well.. All of South Tx does.  SOMEONE has to be the best team in region 4.  Still can't beat the other regions.

Region 4 can't beat the other regions. Do you actually watch high school football?

With the exception of 6A.. I'll have to say no.  It only happens in 6A because of the Austin schools being in region 4 in 6A (Westlake/Lake Travis).  The other classifications region 4 is pretty much San Antonio and south.  I thought we were talking about schools with high Hispanic populations..?  

Alright so let me restate.  When I say region 4 I'm talking about the typical region 4 (south Tx) school.  I don't think Austin Westlake and Austin Lake Travis fit the mold of what we're talking about here.

Okay well take Katy and WOS out of region 3 and you pretty much got rid of all the state champions. Besides you brought up the entire region 4 not being able to beat the other regions not me.

It doesn't matter back to LP. Enrollment surely doesnt help them and I don't think Hispanic enrollment is what's causing them problems this year. Just my opinion.

I have a good friend that coached there up until last year.  He told me this would happen exactly how it's happening.  The dropping enrollment coupled with the demographic shift has caused the number in athletics to fall considerably.  Not to sound ugly.. but a lot of those kids don't play football around here (SeTx).

Take all of the Hispanic kids out of all these programs since they are an "issue" and see if you can field a full on team and scout team during practice.

Have you heard of a team called Calallen and a guy named Phil Danaher?

      It’s kinda weird…

      That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol.

      End Property Tax At 65?!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.

      They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
