  1. 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.

  4. 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

  6. 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.

    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.

  16. Will only speak for Silsbee here, but in my opinion, the 2016 - 2017 Tiger team is number one in SHS history. Think about it: they lost one of their best players, Devin McCain, and STILL went on to win state. Some may argue the mid 90s Silsbee team that was upset by Chapel Hill is the GOAT, but the bottom line is they didn't win anything.

  19. Just a question. There were the automakers, banks, Fannie & Freddie, Intel, miners, and now Spirit Airlines? I have no desire to own an airline. When did it become okay for our tax dollars to be used for the government to take stakes in private companies? GM still owes us a ton. Not only does this create unfair competition and market manipulation worse than typical, but it's a form of socialism that's getting out of control.

    I can be a little slow at times, so forgive me for not understanding why someone starts an honest question topic asking how some can defend something, when I haven’t seen anyone defending the subject matter. That’s just me though.🤔

  35. Can’t base everything solely on median income. They are likely to have a successful transition if they take the approach indicated. It will wipe Coldspring out and will likely put the hurt on Livingston as well. Lack of football at Onalaska is a reason why many kids go to CS and LV now.

    Iran War Update

    If the naval blockade of Iran continues, and no end is finalized in the current conflict in short order, familiarize yourself with Khunjerab Pass. This crossing is part of the Silk Road Initiative, and is less than 1000 miles from China to Iran if passing through Pakistan. Would Pakistan allow China to resupply Iran you may ask? Simple answer: Yes. Although, they would deny it publicly. Iran, Pakistan, and China have an alliance, and both Iran and Pakistan are heavily reliant on Chinese support. Pakistan and Iran aren't allies. But, they're also not enemies. They--historically--have backed each other up in regional conflicts against others. This ceasefire is not helpful in the long term. China will do all they can to not allow their Iranian oil spigot to be turned off. They receive 95% of their oil from Iran, and will do what's necessary for them to maintain leverage with the Iranian regime. Weaponry and technology can be easily transported via this route, and the U.S. would have few to no options to stop it. It would be China's version of the U.S. supporting Ukraine.

    Iran War Update

    If you weren’t committed enough to send ground troops, you weren’t committed enough to the purpose to start the conflict. Issue is, POTUS knew he wouldn't get public, or Congressional support for ground troops. So, he tried an end-around. Without public support, success will be hard to achieve. Success in this endeavor required eliminating the IRGC, and affecting regime/cultural change. I keep repeating myself there's a reason why conflicts are supposed to be difficult to start.
