Would a Deer Park win this week clinch a playoff spot?  If WB goes D1 they would play Atascocita in the first round.  If they go D2 they will play Humble or Kingwood a much easier game and a better chance at a state title.

I brought this very thing up in the 21-6A thread, it's an interesting idea but i highly doubt Coach Peevey would go for it.

The mere suggestion of the idea to lose on purpose to "try and get a better playoff line up" makes me sick. Anyone that agrees with that kind of thought process is an idiot and I hope and pray they are nowhere near kids to poison their minds with that crap.

Tell that to Temple last season 😂

Cause if you don’t, then you might not want to suggest that they did. Otherwise, you are calling into question the integrity of their coaches. 

It was one of the biggest stories of the end of last regular season, im not the only one that thought they tanked like the Dolphins in that particular game versus a Cove team they should've blown the doors off of. Some of their own players said it, i tend to believe em. Only evidence i needed to see was that 2nd half when backups were put in, specifically that 4th quarter. 😉 

 

I don't think Peevey would do that though, don't wanna mess with the Football Gawds.

The goal is to win a state title.  If you take the emotion out it. The game has no meaning for WB.  You would be playing teams with similar enrollments by going D2.    Atascocita and WB would be an evenly matched contest in the first round.  Probably one of the toughest first round games in the state.  I watch the North Shore/WB game and WB would not be favored in a rematch.  Tough position to be in for WB.

Going D-1 doesn't necessarily mean you'll play schools close to your size.  I believe all schools in that Cypress district are schools pushing 3600 and more.  I'm sure there's other districts in the region thats like that too...

Here is the evidence. I remember seeing this last year. Smart play by Temple even though they lost in the first round anyways.

I could not read the article due to a subscription, but from what I gather from the title of it... this is just despicable. I can not believe this happened. Shameful.

Yes, you are right... "The goal IS to win state". You should try to win every single game. But one of the most important parts of HS Athletics is to teach a few life lessons regarding honesty, character, hard work and integrity along the way. You should try to win every single time you play. You should try to do your best every time you play. You should work your a** off everyday to develop yourself into the best you can be ( that's Coaches/Players/Administrators/Program ). 

If you intentionally quit on a game to lose for a "better match up" that is absolute cowardice. So, you only wanna play if your think you can win. You only wanna play if you're matched evenly, you only wanna play if they have the same amount of players as you. Well I got news for you... That is NOT how life works. You can't always even the odds so you have a better chance of success. You can't just only "play" if you think you can win. 

I will say it again, and I'll be done with this... If you lose on purpose ( easier opponent, better match up, etc. ) you are a COWARD.

West Brook was in this same position last season and went out and beat Deer Park. I see them playing up to their capabilities and putting the Deer away.

With that being said they would need United to beat Deer Park. United has been inconsistent since the storm.

Wouldn't they need DP to beat United so they avoid D1?? 

Like Yeoj said, it was the same situation last year.  West Brook beat Deer Park and the following week, United had to beat Deer Park to go to the playoffs.  If United would have won, it would have sent WB to D1 and United to D2.  Well we all know how that turned out and Channelview got in because of Uniteds loss which sent Channelview to D1 and WB to D2. 

No need for WB to tank tomorrows game...

      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.
