Palestine Boys 10 Henderson 0/FINAL

They have a heck of a team, but I’ll be rooting against them.  Just looked at their max preps and they won games by scores of 15-0, 19-0, 25-0, 16-0, and 28-0 in district.  That’s beyond unnecessary.  I was “the guy” for our team in high school, and there were multiple games a year where we could’ve put up double digit goals, and I don’t remember us ever putting up more than 9 or 10.  I had hat tricks in the first 20 minutes of games and moved to the back or the bench and never took another shot.  Palestine has a kid with 55 goals, but the 38 or so he scored in those 5 games kinda diminishes that.  If he didn’t miss 14 of their games he’d be pushing 100, which is crazy, but again, if you’re letting your star forward play 90 minutes at full blast in 28 goal wins, those stats are pretty watered down.

Palestine is unbelievably good. Only a total of 8 points allowed all season. That's including the playoffs so far.

Sounds like Lumberton boys. Only like 13 scored against. Most before district started 2 in district and 1 playoffs. The ones before district were against 5a and 6a schools

I’ll be rooting for lumberton, but Palestine is going to be at least a 3 or 4 goal favorite if they meet.

    • 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. 
    • 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.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • 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.
