BH Would likely be the overall third place team, and be the districts top seed in the 6A-ll bracket. BH can certainly live with that.

That was my thinking as well.... Moving up teams like Woodville, Holliday, ect from 3ad2 and moving teams like Orangefield up from 3ad1 to 4ad2 and keeping sinton 4ad2 for this next realignment.

Stop the direct subsidies to the insurance companies. Enforce a cost transparency law. Let people shop for plans without restriction, and separate prescription coverage into stand-alone policies. The cost transparency is big. But, it will never be perfect. There’s no way someone is going to check prices when they’re in the middle of a medical emergency. Plus, extra procedures—that a patient has no idea about—are often ordered with no real transparency, and they’re in no shape mentally or physically to decide need. This is the big, tough one. But, for the vast majority, cost transparency should be required for all plans. A database of searchable costs should be available to the insured/prospective insured. High deductible plans should be available to all as a choice. Pre-existing condition coverage should be the law. Nothing wrong with making the insurance marketplace similar to Medicare as to the programs offered. Medicare has a separate prescription plan. It’s known that’s usually the highest portion of the cost. Make a ‘Part D’ option for the Marketplace, and remove it from the base policy. There are probably many insurance companies willing to compete just for prescription insurance policies—just like separate dental. Just some of my thoughts.

Just going off what few projections I have been privy to. With 6A looking like it will drop from 2275 to somewhere around 2205-2225, then one has to think other cutoffs will drop as much as 40-60 across the board. With 70% of all Texas schools having a decline in enrollment, the cutoff numbers have to drop some. How much they drop is the big question. It all starts with 6A. UIL always wants 6A to have at least 245 schools. Most times it's around 250. With the numbers out, if they were to use the same cutoff as last realignment (2275) then 6A would only have about 220 schools. So therefore they will have to drop the cutoff in order to get the preferred 245-250. This will cause a trickle down effect for the other cutoffs. But to answer your question, I would guess that the 3A DI/DII cutoff would be somewhere at 345-350.

Good luck to the Newton Eagles!!! GO EAGLES!

Good luck WO-S. GO MUSTANGS!

Good luck to our friends at PAM. GO TITIANS! Play fast, be physical, and when adversity happens, forget it and go on to the next play.

have you thought about what most schools cut offs would be? 3ad2/3ad1 ect? 525 seems like a good number imo

My thought is as Democrats try to minimize everything Trump does, it won't matter. Trump has changed politics forever...... He is currently the most powerful man in the world..... He's changed politics forever...... First President to use Social Media in an election......and EVERYONE followed him He's challenged the limits on Presidential powers via Supreme Court - paving path for all future Presidents..... Many, Many more things..... and FYI Job Approval ratings for last 3 second term Presidents as of Dec: Trump 43.9% / Obama 42.3% / Bush 41.3% - the mainstream media won't tell ya that.....

Don't think so. I asked Coach Whitmire this morning about the NFHS camera at Orangefield gym and he said he didn't think the camera would be available for all the games except for the OF games. He said he was going to get back with me after speaking to the IT person about it. LCM has a Hudl camera but not sure it will be available.

I'm not sure the blame lies with Trump. Is a trifecta REALLY a trifecta when you don't have 60 votes in the Senate? There are some Republicans that need to replace in house and senate - but I'm afraid the only way to get things done quicky is eliminate the Filibuster (which I disagree with, because when the rolls are reversed it could be a nightmare). Trump is really working on the mid-terms, so I do have hope we keep house and senate (Which is against the usual norms) Back to the Filibuster, I hate when Democrats(or anyone really) pull the "threat to democracy" talking point. It is dishonest and an insult to the founders of this great country. The system is working like it was designed. Trump is not King, Obama did not hurt Democracy (he did screw up healthcare) and no President has went rogue. The system was designed to be challenged, that is why we have safe guards. At the same time, it was not designed for the President to be hindered by district judges on foreign policies or any Presidential powers. Trump, by design is challenging these things and bringing it to the Supreme Court to get all these matters resolved. So far this term, he is winning almost every one. I don't believe the Democrats seen this coming......Good news is, it will apply to all Presidents going forward...... Rant over

Is OF or LCM gyms streaming on anything?

We used to call them ‘ghost ships.’ They’d turn their transponders off to be able to avoid detection, load & unload whatever their cargo at night, and take atypical routes to avoid other traffic. It’s a big ocean. Hard to find even a large tanker all by itself, unless you catch it in port & follow via satellite.

Turns out it is sanctioned oil. Still could have drugs aboard. Either way, Maduro crapped his pants.

This is exactly why you want originalists in the Court vs. liberal revisionists. Originalists interpret intent & principles that apply across the decades. Those who say the Constitution is a ‘living document’ are full of it. Free speech (1st Amendment), right to bear arms (2nd), illegal search (4th), etc. principles remain the same as original intent whether the Framers knew about social media, specific firearms or not. Same with the other bedrock principles. The principles remain the same, and are just applied to current. Anything above that, and judges aren’t interpreting—which is their charge. They’re legislating. Which isn’t their arena.

Can she define herself? Hey, are the midterms coming?

Obamacare was destined to fail. It has destroyed the healthcare system and should have never been passed. My question is where is the Republicans Plan? Trump has had the trifecta in DC for almost a year now. Where is his plan to replace Obamacare? I voted for Trump 3 times but this an issue I have not been happy about. Republicans are not codifying Trumps Executive Orders with legislation. Great job on the border and fuel prices/energy. Needs to work on replacing Obamacare and Election Integrity.
