Quite sure, they dont have to 'recruit much. if any. In those 16 Districts that are in "their" area the standouts come calling to them more so than not. I bet my house on that.

Been plenty of discussion about Faith Family since 2019. UIL has it's radar up but not much they can do right now. State legislation has their hands somewhat tied. I thought it was funny that the coaches association did that.

Beaumont United team will play in The Throne National Basketball Tournament as the Beaumont Elite starting March 29 at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Faith Family also received an invite to this tournament as Oak Cliff Elite. BU and FF coaches are not allowed to be on the bench or coach their teams nor can they wear their school basketball 🏀 uniforms. Coaching from the bleachers 😂😂😂

Told me he will be coaching at Silsbee until Peyton Jones (8th grader) group is finished. I can also see him staying long enough to maybe get 1000. But that will likely take an additional 3 years after Jones to achieve.

Him and lcm93 have to be kin somewhere down the line

Well that will save a few degrees but not so warm in TN either...in fact pretty cool in Southeast Texas as well. Lamar leads 3-2 after 6 innings.

DING DING DING DING!!! Yep, you can’t lawfully resist an unlawful arrest… in Texas and probably most other states. Not complying can be a crime, even if you are later found to be innocent of the original detention or arrest.

The real reason he wants Trump to win in 2024 is for more corporate socialism - More Trump bucks to pay off his business debts - More PPP scam loans to pay off his business debts A true fiscal conservative wouldn’t have put themselves in his position in the first place.. but true fiscal conservatives don’t exist anymore. These guys love free government money just as much as liberals do lol

That is why I (and maybe one of the few) find this interesting. We obviously don’t have to agree with laws or case laws/rulings but they are the law. I know my rights!! might show that we don’t know as much as Facebook and YouTube make us think we know. Comply, deny consent, remain silent and argue later.

It's no wonder you need 2 jobs to keep afloat, too much time wasted on this forum... the dude lost over 2 years ago, 🤡 🌎 you live in.. 2024 won't be any different

After seeing who posted it I wouldn't feed into it honestly speaking.

They can accept any student out of the 16 districts. Supposedly in multi school districts the players come out of the attendance zone except for the magnat schools which can come from throughout the district. I will say this about the situation which I think is very unfair. I ran into one of the UIL leaders about a year ago and stated that I have lived in states like Arkansas, Colorado and Nebraska where the private school play right in with the public schools and they do not have these recruitment problems like they do in Texas. He replied that in Arkansas they have a unique way of taking care of the problem that works pretty good. I came home and researched it a little. I found out that in Arkansas the schools are assigned by enrollment but in the case of private schools if one becomes too dominant they are assigned to a higher classification by the Arkansas Athletic Activities Association. In Nebraska there are a lot of Catholic schools in their association. In some instances some of those schools were very strong but they never dominated year after year like Faith and Family does. A year ago at the State tournament I sat next to a coach from a good AAA school in North Texas. He told me that Faith and Family never runs out of talent. You can think they have graduated most of their team and the next year they show up with a bunch of new faces who are as talented or more talented than the last group.

Lorena was a little down last year, but won a state championship the year before. Yoe is in the same district as them and is generally very good. Columbus also comes to mind as a very good team that’s capable of making a run (Franklin beat them by 3), and Hitchcock should be good again next year. But all roads lead through Franklin

All joking aside, those old people will kill you. I worked in an auto center when I was college and one day this really old guy came in and wanted his battery replaced for free because he hadn't had it that long. We walked out to his truck and the battery obviously came from one of our competitors. I explained that we could definitely test it and replace it if necessary, but he'd probably have better luck at Walmart where it came from. This guy went from 0-100 in a flash. He started furiously digging in his glovebox and the look on his face told me that he wasn't trying to find a receipt. I dipped back indoors. They helped him jumpstart his truck and he left, and about 45 minutes later his son called and wanted to apologize... said that his dad came home looking for a gun and they took his keys away. Those really old people lose their ability to reason things out.

Do they have an exclusive attendance zone like normal districts? If not, the advantage is not disputable.

Understood. Outside of Franklin the region is not immense with powerhouse programs. The initial statement was that they will contend in the region. I guess we will see. Just out of curiosity, other than Franklin, who do you see as the Regional power?

I think it’s great. Glad the coaches made a point. What’s not great is that they played an HISD school in the final. OCFF is the biggest problem in 4A right now, but far from the only one.

Had the further misfortune of being matched against one of the best 10 seeds you will ever see. Penn St playing great basketball at the end of the season. The committee was playing shenanigans with some of these regions though I am convinced they threw Duke and Kentucky in with the weakest 1-4 seeds to maybe get another blue blood to Houston And I am convinced they put UofH, UT and A&M in the same region to try and ensure you get a Texas team in the final 4

According to the US Supreme Court (in GA v. Randolph), if one party is physically present and objects to a search, even if another consents, such a search would then be unconstitutional. [Hidden Content]

They were 5/5 last year. Those coming back were not that good last year. Expect more of the same next year.

Plenty of people were (rightfully) upset after their other two titles.

Possibly, but I really feel "they've" been dragging their feet on this one. Maybe it's by design, maybe the contractor(s) are slow or maybe the school district is not good at pushing things along. I mean, homes were built during Covid, Huge new units in refineries were built during Covid, Lumberton built new schools during Covid, etc. etc. Regardless, I bet the folks in Big Ned will be happy if/when this is complete.

Were you duped by the Russia Hoax that went on for 4 or 5?

Yes, it does when a candidate's personality precludes them from actually winning an election. It doesn't matter what the policies are when you can't get elected to install them. I doubt that Desantis is much different than Trump in regards to political beliefs... I'm not saying he's the guy, but he isn't going to drive people to vote Democrat like Trump does. Dick Cheney would have made a fine President, he was just unelectable. Nobody thought Trump had a chance and he pulled it off. Four years later he got smoked, and has done nothing but further alienate potential swing voters since with riots, suits, charges, investigations, character assassinations on his "enemies," etc... and all but about 25% of voters don't want it. I'm telling you.... unemployment is at record lows, home prices are through the roof... Biden isn't getting blamed for inflation. Is the media giving him a pass? Undoubtedly. Is there some huge "we need change, and we need it now" movement in the works? It doesn't seem like it. Trump is poisonous at this point to all but his most loyal subjects.
