No one exactly said it was, but its right in the middle of a sports discussion on SETXSports. Its very plausible that sports is driving this narrative.

Some of these small schools need to merge with the next closest town.

The Golden Era is Here! U.S. national debt surpasses size of the entire United States GDP for first time since World War II.

There are 96 schools that made the state quarterfinals. 65 of those 96 schools have at least $60k average household incomes. I also comprised a list of all of the 6A/5A/4A schools in the state, along with their respective household income, and their regular season record for the 2025 football season. There are 166 schools that have an average household income of $60k or greater. 23.7% of those schools (40) had a winning record (6-4 or better). There are 84 schools in the group with an average household income of less than $60k. 12% of those schools (10) had a winning record (6-4 or better). I also went ahead and did a list of 3A schools.. just for fun. Of the schools that had an average household income of $53k (low class in Tx) or more, 77.4% of them had a winning record (6-4 or better). Of the schools that had an average income of less than $53k, 33.2% of them had a winning record (6-4 or better). So.. even though there are other factors and exceptions. 6A/5A/4A schools that have an average household income of $60k or more have two times the statistical likelihood of having a winning season. And 3AD1 schools with average household incomes of $53k or more have a 77% chance of a winning record, compare to a 33% chance of those that make less than $53k. Again.. I know there are other details involved. But.. I'm a numbers guy. And these numbers tell a story.

Problem identified!!!!!

For me: Ozen 2001 AND Lincoln 1995 Then everyone else 🤷🏾‍♂️

kenyon came later. but that 1991 team may be one of the most successful teams in the history of Texas basketball when it comes to success AFTER high school. the entire starting 5 from that team earned their doctorate degrees in their respective fields, and the overwhelming majority of the rest of team has been just as successful. What are the odds that a smalltown basketball team could churn out so much success. Dr. Jamey Harrison- former Bridge City Superintendent, current director of the UIL Dr. Shannon Holmes- former Hardin-Jefferson Superintendent, current director of ATPE Dr. Jeff Burke- retired as the Superintendent of Splendora Dr. Joel Nolte- former Asst. Superintendent of Huffman, currently works for the UIL Dr. Gene Isabell- successful orthopedic surgeon Dr. Tim Rowell- pastor, Flatonia Baptist Church Dr. Neil Laminack- Asst. Principal Grand Oaks High School Duane Joubert- over 600 wins as a head basketball coach, multiple state championships Clay Davis- over 300 wins as a head basketball coach, current asst. principal and Splendora MS David Underwood- business owner with over 100 employees Coach Charles Breithrupt- Texas High School Basketball Hall of Fame, Texas High School Coaches Hall of Honor, retired Director of the UIL Assistant Coach Todd Sutherland- closing in on 1000 career victories, multiple state titles

Always wondered why she didn't go public with the claims until Trump became a politician nearly 24 years later...

Congrats Lufkin on passing the bond to renovate the HA and that stadium! Man the drawings looking good!

Grew up in Cleveland and was a OL/LB. Believe he was there when Bubba Arledge was the HC and Celaya after. Went to the Army after HS. Was at Cleveland as a defensive coach. Then at Klein as a Off Coach/Spt Coor. At Willis for the last 4 years as Off Coach/Spt Coor. Know him personally. Hes one of the smarter football guys I know. Hard worker and very engaging. His players love him. He will get the most out of Tarkington anyone can. Has 3 boys. When I asked he said if things go well he would love to put roots down and stay. He has always talked about getting back to small school football to raise his boys.

What proof would you like? To have solid proof it would likely give up sources and get people killed. To me, it does not sound too far fetched that a country who has been under observation by several administrations because we know they are trying to build a nuke, might, after 40 years of trying be very close to making one. I don’t like paying 90 bucks to fill up, but if it prevents, Iran from nuking an ally, that would eventually lead to boots on the ground for us, I’m OK with it. Lastly, if I really cared about gas prices, I would own a Honda and not the two trucks I have

It’s all a democrat hoax if you ask the Always Trumpers. The war is over. I thought prices were going to come down immediately? Everything CB predicted about a Trump presidency has come true.

Why? Its their prerogative. If their ISD is sound, they are financially secure and their academics are good, there is no pressing need to merge with anyone else for the sake of sports. Its has a very solid B rating (86). Some outside opinions may think otherwise, but its a decision left solely up to their community. If its a successful ISD, they know what's best for them.

As do most things Democrats touch. Wonder how much Solyndra put in his pockets after he handed them millions, and six short months later they fold. And today, you have Pocahontas Warren to thank for an airline going under. I for one cannot stand a Democrat. You have to be some kind of special to vote for these types. Fetterman, the only logical Dem in Washington needs to come to the right side.

Saw this today. Pretty sobering and enlightening.

Not from WV.

Totally agree. Hippy, should that happen, would it be WWXII?

Good news! Oil is at a new high for this skirmish today… Brent crude is trading at $126\barrel. So much winning!

Welp, looks like Trump is still gaining black voters NOT in SE Texas 😂

He wasn’t from California… he did go to school there a bit while living with his dad I believe

I chose 60k and 53k respectively because the line between lower class and middle class in Texas is 53k.. according to a quick google search. I figured the average income should be slightly higher (on average) in suburban/urban areas. Which is why I chose 60k for the 6A/5A/4A marker. Was I wrong in thinking that? Use a different number if you want. Use 70k.. or 80k.. or 100k. Do you think the percentage of schools that have a successful football season will go up or down with the increase of that household income? That was rhetorical. Of the schools in a district/town with an average household income of 100k or more, 100% of them had a winning football season. Every. Single. One.

Politics again. Like perhaps impeaching and removing Trump, after he has left office? The Comey indictment in my opinion is dead on arrival. It’s not because of any interpretation of the message but because there’s no threat, even if it is interpreted in favor of the indictment. Saying that I wished something would happen is not the same as threatening it. Had the seashells be prefaced with: “I will…”, it would be a different story. Is it any different than the Kathy Griffin severed head? Had she posted: “I am going to…”, there would have been a different outcome. It’s silly in this current climate to point out one side and not another however.

Yes it would. I am just removing any obstacles.

Not a MAGA person—or even a Trump voter—but, I assume they defend it the same way the Dems, Socialists, and Progressives defend applauding King Charles while attending ‘No Kings’ rallies.

They are about to be in a pickle. This may be what we have been waiting on!

Jake Howard has been named athletic director/head football coach.

Just name the thread “I hate Trump, let me count the ways!” And let him go to town!😁

Not true: First of all, pedophilia is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult (or even an older adolescent) experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children. For girls that's generally 10 to 12 - boys a little older... I don't know even any leftists that are accusing Trump of a pre-pubescent relationship. I think that was Biden's bag, and for the record, I would not even defend my own son if here were proven to be a pedophile. Secondly, all my comment really proves is that I enjoy stirring the pot and jerking the chain of the members of TDS who can't help taking the bait every time. Show me credible evidence of Trump being a pedophile.

…..and that always seems to be the case. My wife would castrate the guy on the spot. Lol. Actually, she wouldn’t just let anybody get away with a sexual attack, and it wouldn’t take years for an arrest or accusation.

If you’re at war with anyone, do you fire warning shots? Make that make sense. Lmao

And first series in a while. I still cring when Abreu almost blows it.

Two-in-a-row. I still have some champagne left over from the last streak. Lol. Took the series from Boston. Always a Stros fan. Off to a rough start, but we’ll get there.

Yeah… they came out today and said that the $400 billion dollar aircraft that Qatar gave to the US has been retrofitted at a cost of 1 billion. And it’s going to be donated to Trump’s library (wink) when he leaves office. But it’s okay, because the OTHER two Air Force Ones he requisitioned should be completed by 2028.

[Hidden Content] Whatever gram cracker is spewing Trump is behind it.

Yeah, I generally take an insult as a challenge. Don’t you?

I didn't throw that out, the left wing CNN did...... Polls are not useless, were pretty accurate until Trump came along.....The personal attacks that Democrats do well against the right just made the right not speak.....screwed the polls right up You are no more of a gauge for blacks and minorities, than I am a gauge for white people...... I think everyone that voted Democrat is starting to question what Democrat policies has done for them.

Some people can’t see the highlights.

I believe Irans leadership told Trump he can go pound sand and that our military will end up at the bottom of their waters.

👀👀👀👀

I still have the Beaumont Enterprise with both teams on the cover.

One of the best indicators for growth that will help Main St.: Caterpillar The stock is on a tear, and is a construction/manufacturing/infrastructure bellwether.

I understand this thread is stupid.

I have asked a few people. How last years team stacked up with all the Kountze teams that won it in the past. I got some intresting answers for sure. That 03-04 team was loaded!! the 07 team was special as well with CJ Busby and Devin Bray as a freshmen

Awesome….now let’s see the gas prices weaken!

Ask Kennedy. Trump signed the executive order not Kennedy .

If the defense doesn’t improve it will be regarded as a “failure of the little league coaches”. It is already obvious that the little league coaches in WV failed to establish a foundation of defensive skills in the players.
