That matters for sure.. but I think the way it matters is by way of households that are able to provide the tax revenue that contributes to those means of advertising (facilities, salaries, stipends, etc.). Here's a great article outlining the obvious differences in the financial situations of Austin High School and Austin Lake Travis High School: [Hidden Content] Two high schools not very far apart with similar(ish) enrollments. Austin High has roughly 2400 students.. which is much less than LT, but 2400 is plenty to field a decent football team in almost all cases. Vastly different average household incomes, though. You have kids from LT driving BMW's to planet fitness during the summers to meet an ex pro-athlete for a workout.. while Austin High kids might be sitting at home or working a summer job to help put food on the table. This applies at every classification across the state (country). There are always exceptions, but more times than not: High household income, 2 working parents, spending summers at strength/speed camps, not having to work summer jobs, having a reliable vehicle to make it to weight room/school, running with kids in similar situation, access to best facilities money can buy, personal trainer, personal tutor, etc. etc. etc.... A kid with access to the list I just gave will ALWAYS have a leg up on a kid that doesn't. Now multiply that by entire teams/programs. Start looking at the average household income of the schools that are habitually making deep runs. The income translates to living situation.. which translates to property taxes.. which is a huge contributor to how public schools pay for facilities and teachers/coaches/stipends.

I would wager that a higher percentage of coaches know what they're dealing with in that regard.. than the percentage of parents that know that their kid is in this situation. Please note: I'm not being judgmental nor am I saying that those kind of obstacles are impossible to overcome.. just stating that statistically it can make quite a difference. Anyone that argues it doesn't is just ignorant on the subject.. or naive.

I believe there are numerous reasons for this threat being eliminated but a big one no one has mentioned or maybe they have cause I didn’t go back and read every post…..by eliminating Iran now then our forces won’t be spread out plus no distraction when China tries to take Taiwan or basically deter China from the thought….With Iran eliminated all focus on China. But I will say this. The gas pumps are hurting the pocket books. Stop dilly dallying and Let’s wrap this up quickly please.

Coaching matters. A lot! But having really good players matters more. It's been proven over and over again.

History says otherwise.. we'll see

Close!

Yes -- another seat won! Trump effect!

Or the 30 - 40 THOUSAND Iranians killed for protesting…..

Iran's Intelligence Chief eliminated. He was also apparently the head of their terrorism coordination efforts. White House calls Iranian intelligence minister’s death ‘a good thing’ for the US By DARLENE SUPERVILLE Trump’s chief spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, said Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib was a “known terrorist.” “Of course, this man is no longer with us here on earth,” she said during a morning appearance on Fox News Channel. “And that’s a good thing for the United States. And it’s a good thing for the American people who have long been threatened by this rogue terrorist regime.” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced Wednesday that its military had killed Khatib.

Catchy phrase, but I would have agreed with disabling the terroristic state of Iran’s nuclear capabilities no matter if it was Trump’s circus or Biden’s socialist union that did it.

Johnson for Silsbee making All-Region makes it 27 straight years that a Silsbee player has made All-Region.

Just their year… They don’t do this every year.
