Hummmm!!

Not sure where I said “household income doesn’t contribute to money pumped into programs”. What I did say is: there are “many” programs “with money” that are in poor socioeconomic areas. The greatest influx of $$ comes from local industry. I also said: “for every successful affluent area there is another one that is unsuccessful”. The unsuccessful affluent programs are not an “exception” and the successful non-affluent areas are not an exception either.

I'd have to see some statistics on that. I'm not believing that high household incomes doesn't correlate to money pumped into public school athletic programs. And also.. money that it takes to put student athletes through offseason leagues/camps/training. I'd never say that exceptions aren't out there.. but you won't convince me that the ratio of kids of affluent homes and kids of poor homes is anywhere near equal in total numbers when it comes to participation in year round playing/training. There's just no way.

No

Is week-4 still an automatic win?

HEMPHILL 2026 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE W1 - @ WEST HARDIN W2 - DEWEYVILLE W3 - WEST SABINE W4 - @ HUNTINGTON W5 - @ BIG SANDY W6 - BYE W7 - GARRISON W8 - @ SHELYVILLE W9 - SAN AUGUSTINE W10 - @ TIMPSON W11 - JOAQUIN How does Hemphill do this year??

I am saying that money put into programs, often does not originate with median household income. I am also saying that for every example of an affluent area that is successful there is one that is unsuccessful. ***There are few schools in Texas history that have matched Brock results. That is irrelevant for determining if they utilized an effective model for other schools.

Do you not believe that the money put into sports programs have an overall more positive impact than those same programs in schools that can't put similar funding? (facilities, equipment, training programs, coaching caliber, number of coaches, kids' time/ability to train, etc.). So that doesn't matter because of some exceptions that prove otherwise? If that's what you're saying, let's just agree to disagree. And in the case of Onalaska and Brock.. I don't think it matters how closely Onalaska develops the football program to how Brock did it. It will not yield the same results.. or even close to. Large in part to the list of things I just provided.

Trump!

In today’s unhinged, but true stories: 1. After all of the talk about the Trump ballroom being entirely paid for by donors, Republicans are now asking for taxpayers to pay for the construction. [Hidden Content] 2. The FCC is looking to pull ABC’s broadcasting license if they don’t fire Jimmy Kimmel. [Hidden Content] 3. They’ve re-indicted James Comey for posting a picture of some seashells that spelled out 86 47 as being a call for Trump to be assassinated. [Hidden Content] 4. Trump’s face will adorn all new passports issued. [Hidden Content] If you’re not upset, you’re not American.

PNG should win. It will be tough for the other 3. Iowa Colony has a dude that is committed to Miss State that throws 98. They did lose 3 district games, so they may not have much else. Nederland has the arms to play a 3 game series, but Game 1 will be tough.

I provided some examples. I could easily offer a similar exception for every example that you believe to be the rule. Could also provide a list of affluent communities that are pathetic in football.

🤦‍♂️

Ask Kennedy. Trump signed the executive order not Kennedy .

Little league can't make the coaching staff put the right guys in the right position. Not everybody on last years defense came through the little league program. Some were move ins who had never played football previously

Median household income is generally used as a benchmark for measuring relative poverty. I already said that there are exceptions. You listed some of said exceptions. Now do median household income for Mart, Brock, Aledo, Allen, Austin LT and WL, Katy... I think the comparison made in this conversation was Brock and Onalaska. I'd bet a considerable amount of money that the median household incomes in this particular comparison is an indicator to how much money is in the community, how much money is paid in school taxes, how much money in pumped into the athletic programs. I agree, it's not always an accurate representation.

How does Sec Kennedy feel about this?

If the defense doesn’t improve it will be regarded as a “failure of the little league coaches”. It is already obvious that the little league coaches in WV failed to establish a foundation of defensive skills in the players.

The defense should improve some since just about everybody returns. How much it improves will probably depend on the coaching

We need to get out and make this happen!! Paxton!

It will not matter who the QB is unless the defense improves.....by A LOT!!!

03-04 Kountze has to be the best Kountze IMO… Only 2 losses on the year… PA Memorial(Missing a starter) and Houston Milby by 12 who was ranked #5 in the nation at the time. They were led by Senior Keithan Hancock(Northwestern State) and JR Ashton Hall (Tulsa and Lamar).
