 I think you'd have to put Silsbee high atop the list.  The basketball titles, recent football success, and consistently competitive baseball program convinced me.  

I thought we were finally turning the corner in '16 when we won district in all but one sport (I can't remember which one... jk, it was boys basketball), but that wasn't the case.

Don't kid yourself... a solid AD can make a difference across all sports.

Nah... I’m not sure what we’re trying to do. 

I'll be glad when the slot-t craze of SETX dies out.  I played in it at a school when everyone was still in the spread.  Good offense but not very fun to play in.  I think there is a better way to go about it. People say you can't run it at small schools, false.  Just have to know what you're doing and develop.

The spread is a DISASTER if you don’t have a qb. 
That’s been one of our problems.... no qb development.  Kids with arms in BC want to pitch for the cards exclusively.

Gotta start the development in the JH. Todd Dodge has a development program from the time a QB starts in the 7th grade.

Kids play in open space in every other sport (basketball/baseball) then football comes around and you ask them to get foot to foot with their hands in the dirt & ask for 3 yards and a cloud of dust? It's just not fun playing football like that. Boring to watch, boring to play.

I'd be willing to bet there is a kid on that new turf baseball field right now that could sling it around the yard.

Same with OF/LCM/Lumberton/HJ.

I hope so. We are the only spread team in that list. BC ran mostly out of the spread. I’m not against a wing t team but I do feel like you have throw the ball some to make the defense honest. A lot of times you have to run what fits your talent and not what is popular. When I was in high school we ran the wishbone and it was pretty much just the option. The baseball kids didn’t want to play football  because they felt the offense was boring. I’d disagree with them because I like  smash mouth football.

Didn’t know you guys were spread now. I think some people look at the spread as airing it out. A lot of teams run the spread and are still a smash mouth/run first team. It’s all about the attitude and what you want your team to be. Also depends on personnel.

Yes no huddle. We throw the ball 20 to 30 times a game this past season with a lot of zone read.The  two upcoming QB coming up can throw the ball well. We will be young this upcoming season due to graduation only bringing back our 3 year starter wide receiver. Who is your Alma mater?

      What a Travesty of Justice

      You have a choice between two guys in November that neither of us can change or could have changed. You can continue to whine and moan, not vote, vote for biden, I couldn't care less what you do. Those of us that choose to face reality simply deal with it. You just keep your fingers crossed hoping biden will win in November so you can get on here and be the star of the political forum (in your mind) by telling us all I told you so, even though you had as much to do with this situation as any of us. And yes, I can claim he was a good President, because he was, and I and others have made long lists of the reasons why, which you cannot refute. You have a good day wallowing in your perpetual misery.

      There is undeniable irony and hypocrisy in the fact that Trump has the unwavering support of conservative republicans across the country who've pushed legislation that makes it much more difficult to access her on pornhub.

      All sports lose money... period.. Yes football brings more revenue but still loses money with all its costs...  Football does not "fund" other sports..  It is funded by budget.. which is paid by state and local taxes.  I have seen many games this year where less than 200 parents show up to the games. Do you think these schools got rid all other sports cause their football team did not gain enough revenue at football games??... come on..  I would agree football is bigger in Texas.. no doubt... All I'm saying is other sports should not suffer cause of football Offseason... I know coaches think that 10 extra practices in April/May will determine if they are successful in November.. I just don't think its worth destroying another sport to do it.. especially with all the summer to practice...
