I've said it before and I'll say it again.... There's no upside for a bigger school to play Newton.    It's like picking a fight in a gay bar.  If you win, you can't brag about it, but you'd

It would be nice if they balanced the 3 schools and played each other. I figure that would help travel cost as well since all of your sports would have 2 of their opponents across town. The way it is

They don't want that smoke.  I predict all the cut-off numbers go up by 100 a piece and that will help L-town stay in 4A D1......

In a perfect world we’d drop down and take up a spot as a big 4AD2. 

I’d rather get out-athleted by schools like WOS and sometimes Silsbee than just sat on by a bunch of fat kids from schools with 350+ more kids than us. Like everybody in our District. Our enrollment is so small compared to our district mates. We turned in 818 last time and our nearest enrollment was 1059, if my memory is correct. 

The bad news is that our secret is out and we keep growing despite the semi-annual floods.

I had thought Silsbee might go back up to Division I. They had one of the largest numbers in 4A Division II last time. Then they had a pretty good growth last year but the senior class graduated 200 or so and the incoming freshman had only 184. Silsbee should still be one of the larger division II schools. They could well move back up next time because there are about 240 seventh graders. More Importantly Carthage was one of the smallest Division I schools. Last time they had about ten more students than Silsbee. If everyone is lucky or unlucky you could have Carthage, WOS, Silsbee and Jasper all battling in the same region once again.

I really hope this happens!

As for the plants, these new units only need 5-10 people to run them. The construction is temporary.

The area really needs to diversify. It's not a good sign when Orange county doesn't have a hospital and they refuse to pay for one and Port Arthur loses one.  Doesn't speak well for the health and growth prospects for the area.

 

 

Sorry should have been more specific, I was talking about Beaumont, not SETX as a whole, and for a while there it was an uptake in the pop. census but your most likely right, the school district has a big time effect on people moving in and unfortunately BISD isn’t doing to hot as of late, so while Beaumont won’t lose to much due to the industry it will definitely get left in the rear by those areas you mentioned (New Caney, Porter, etc) Houston as a whole is starting to expand from East to West, should be the 3rd largest city very soon.

Beaumont was bigger in the 60s and 70s, well over 120k. It still is trying to get to that figure now. 

If you mean by growth that new shops are being built, I agree, but no one is really moving to Beaumont, which is a shame because it has a lot to offer.

I'm hoping that BISD has fixed its problems. It would benefit everyone in the area if BISD was stable. I'm pulling for y'all.

As for Houston, the last oil downturn has slowed the city proper's growth. It won't catch Chicago until the 2040s now since all the growth has been in unincorporated Harris county and the burbs.

I have been hearing it is possible for vidor to move down at the next realignment is this true?

Enrollment has dipped below 1200 and the numbers continue to drop. There’s a good chance Vidor will get bumped down to 4a next year. Hurricane Harvey has a lot to do with the drop in numbers. Vidor got hit hard. We shall see. We are definitely the smallest school in our district this year!

I don’t have actual numbers yet but what I was told by a BU administrator is that depending on where the cut off is, BU will either remain one of the smaller schools in their 6A district or one of the bigger ones in 5A-D1 next year.  But hey let’s get through this football season 1st...

Per a video that was released by the BISD Superintendent and United Principal, BU has a freshman class of over 700 with the total school attendance over 2,100.  We’ll probably be one of the smaller schools in our district but we should remain 6A...

Well with that current 6A number, it could be close for us...

      It’s kinda weird…

      Yeah, I got that but talk about a stretch. It should seem obvious that Trump’s prosecution is purely political. If someone is going to do a whataboutism, at least make it similar.  This is so ludicrous that it’s like comparing a ham sandwich to a wallet.

      You consistently try to say Trump ran our debt up and that the stock market and job market cratered during his administration (along with other MSNBC talking points). That is a flat out LIE, and you know it. Not only are you telling a mistruth, you knowingly are telling a mistruth...which is a blatant LIE...which makes you a "(I don't remember what word you used to describe Trump, something like a purse for dirt)" does it not? You know for a fact that the economy, stock market, and job market was thriving under Trump. You know that the Democrats controlled the house, and proposed a budget that would hurt the economy, in which he shut down the government. Even after this fiasco brought on by Democrats, our economy flourished under his administration. Then Covid19 hit, and the blue states shut down the country. YOU KNOW THIS, but continue to blame Trump. You lie...blatantly. Again, what do we call these people that partake in disseminating misleading information. You coined it...that purse thing. Does the shoe fit? I bet it does. It is amazing that you try to put "MAGA people" into this little box for the soul purpose of allowing all negative attributes of anyone that will vote for Trump instead of Biden to be attributed. That is a sickening modus operandi of stupid people. It is hard for me to believe that you would adopt that childish stereotyping. But since you are willing, I'm willing to push back. I'm a Trump supporter. I will gladly vote for him over Biden. So get busy putting me in your silly little box of stereotypes so I can embarrass you some more. You've been shot down by practically everyone on this board when you say stuff like Trump is their Messiah, or that supporters overlook his flaws. Everyone on this board has stated that they don't agree with Trump on much of his behavior, but you ignore these statements and continue with your lies. Oh yeah, since I'm a Trump supporter, those comment were also directed directly at me. So let's go. Prove I'm a simpleton that will ignore all of Trump's flaws and vow to disown the bad ol' orangeman. Let's continue that diatribe you peddle. I now am interested in responding. I also have boxes I can place people in. Whose box is accurate? Better yet, whose box is more embarrassing? I'm fairly certain your box is more entertaining for the board to make fun of. TDS should be included in the DSM-6, or revise the DSM-5 to include it since this phenomenon is so pervasive now. You are a walking, talking picture of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Do you like that box? Can you refute the rationale for placing you in that box. Everyone can refute your rationale for placing them into your irrational box, while you languish in your TDS box.

      Clinton got impeached because of it. David Pecker said it was true about Stormy today. Under oath.

      It’s not about worrying about Trump’s morality. It’s about him being held to a totally hypocritical standard that is applied to anybody else that’s not him. Double it if it happens to be a Democrat. What he did to Ted Cruz in 2016, for example. Accused him of extramarital affairs. Really? And the gang cheered the Master on. Sick is what it is.
