I see where the Nazareth girls are back at state. 30 appearances, 25 titles and 5 straight... and the boys have lots of championships to add. If you could bottle that it would be a best seller. 

I think Argyle is going to start stringing those kind of numbers

I think its just program and leadership consistency over the years. Then it just becomes an expectation to achieve at that level.  The only thing in SE Texas on the boys side that was even remotely close to that was Port Arthur Lincoln. It was always state or bust. That can be a double edge sword however, but it establishes an expectation of excellence for the kids and coaches.

Those good small schools will definitely draw players in from the other small towns around them.  But it also comes from a whole program that buys in from elementary school on up.  I guarantee those kids in that town grow up shooting baskets and playing one on one hoping to play for the high school one day.  It also helps that Dallas and Houston ISD have yet to decide that winning a 1A basketball championship is prestigious enough.  Once they do we'll start getting Nazareth vs. Dallas or Houston (insert new school name) in the 1A final every year.

Don't bet on it 

I was more talking about overall athletic success than just hoops. I think they have started to siphon the athletes out of Dallas. They won state in football this year with one of the best clubs that I’ve seen in 4A. A couple years ago they had 10 baseball guys that had D1 scholarships. That’s unheard of in that size school for a bench player to have a D1 scholarship. I know they aren’t going to be that dominant in basketball but they have something going on up there.

What they have is a great school district, a nice community, and a commitment to all athletics from the school board down.  But the biggest draw for them I think is location.  For families in the Fort Worth and Denton area that are looking for a smaller/suburban setting there isn’t a better choice right now. The growth going north of Fort Worth up I35 towards Denton is absurd.  And Argyle is the benefactor.  They are basically Southlake Carroll 25 years ago.  
It also helps they probably occasionally get a transfer or two from Southlake, Keller, Flower Mound or Northwest ISD.

I don’t expect Argyle to stay 4A much longer.

Reason you don’t think they can do it in basketball? 5 state tournament appearances since 2003. Not many schools can say that.

I agree, not many.

Silsbee is one of the few. State appearances since 2008:

2008, 2010, 2016, 2017, 2018

Regional final appearances since 2005:

05, 07, 08, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21

Regional tourney appearances since 2005:

05, 07, 08, 09, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

      It’s kinda weird…

      By bullets13 · Posted

      I STRONGLY disagree with this assertion, and you're just making my point for me by trying to say that Biden's corruption is somehow way worse than Trump's with a straight face.  Trump's politics (or at least the politics that suit him) just align with mine significantly more than Biden's.  They're two peas in a pod, but on different sides of the aisle.  I'm sure if I was a diehard conservative all of his issues would seem like minor indiscretions or witch hunts, and if I was a rabid liberal old Sleepy Joe would seem like a strong president who didn't really do much wrong.  But yeah, bless my heart for not swallowing the orange koolaid

      No one that I know is stumping for Trump because he's the poster boy of integrity, they simply know he's the best choice BY FAR between the two and has been the victim of ridiculous witch hunts since before he was President, that's what folks have a problem with, the crooked lying democrats, but folks like to make it more about Trump than the real problem. And to state that Trump is about as immoral and dirty as they come is ridiculous, I don't like him either but he isn't close to being as corrupt as the crime family in the White House, and you know it. As far as hating on CB, not at all, but he has been ate up with TDS for a while now and it sounds like it may be wearing off on you a little bit, lol.   Bless your hearts!

      2024 Newton Eagles football.

      Newton will also have a lot of size, strength, and experience up front. That will probably be the most significant advantage vs Woodville

      There's a lot of irony in this post.  You're right, if he was a lefty the liberals wouldn't say a word. But because he's a republican, the righteous right is giving Trump a hard pass on stuff that they've absolutely bombed the left for doing for as long as I've been alive, and are actually feigning indignation about the left criticizing his behavior.  Y'all can hate CB all you want, but he's correct on this one.  the conservative outrage over the left's character assassinations of Trump is hilarious.  Trump is about as immoral and dirty as they come, and it's a real mind bender watching conservative Christians stump so hard for him, especially when Christian values and morality has supposedly been the backbone of the republican party all this time.  And as always, I'll put in my disclaimer that I thought he did a decent job as president and will be voting for him in the election, so nobody throws TDS at me.

      Nederland is open, Barrow Resigns

      By bullets13 · Posted

      I don't know.  I seem to have read a lot of posts on these nederland threads about how the players aren't dedicated enough to football.  Seems this is exactly what some folks want.  I'm hoping it was the kid's decision to go out there and not the new coach pushing for it.
