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.

I haven't quite figured her out yet. But, based on some of her recent posts, she should join the Libertarian Party. Right now, she's actually doing a lot of damage--unless you're one of those wishing for the U.S. to turn into a truly Socialist country. She's providing a lot of fodder. I may not like the current situation. In fact, I despise the Party system altogether. But, I sure don't want to see the U.S. turn full-blown Socialist, and I don't think many others on this site do either...even those who despise Trump. I wish people would quit being taken in by the 'You're wasting your vote if you don't vote D or R, so just pick the lesser of two evils" argument. If folks actually started voting for more Independents/Libertarians in Senate and House races, maybe we could break this vicious cycle of crap. Talarico is scaring the poo outta me right now. But, the R's have no one to blame but themselves.

Paid $3.59 today which is a dollar higher than it was 2 months ago but still not $4.57. I am helping the economy by making a trip to casino each week and eat at one of Ferttita's eating establishments.

You don't know how happy that makes my heart. Lord, I wish I had done that...

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

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

Again with the "y'all". smh Show some worth for once and say "we".

Send it to me also.

Who said anything about coaching ability? Pretty certain the post was regarding “talent level”. He may very well have “several programs in the playoffs” in the future. 2026 football will not be one of them.

I play in the poker room. Poker is a skill game. I don't mess with the one armed bandits. But I appreciate the sentiment.

This is where you're supposed to say 'They're coming to hear y'all...not for the food." 😁

The crack spread doesn't account for all of the products a refinery produces. Basically, they're losing money on all products except gasoline & diesel.

I got into a little mini debate on another site and did a very quick dive into Madison's roster. They have players who previously played at high schools in Arlington, Carrollton, Rowlett, Waxahachie, DeSoto, and two players who previously played for Dallas Kimball. I found definitive proof of 7 of their 13 players having transferred in after attending high school somewhere else. And that doesn't factor in those who did that I just didn't find proof, or transferred in as freshmen or sophomores before they'd had a chance to make another varsity team. Just one more argument for forcing large metro areas to play up divisions. It's crazy that a little rural community's once in a lifetime basketball season ended against an AAU team playing 3A basketball.

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!

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

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.

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.

A while back, my MIL was bored and decided to read a book. She read the Exorcist. After reading it, she said it was the scariest and most vile book she had ever read. She took the book and chunked it off a fishing pier. Being the loving SIL that I am, I bought a replacement copy, soaked it, and placed it in her nightstand.

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!

If I have to wait on a seat for the poker tables, I'll play Blackjack or Mississippi Stud.

Yeah I guess Fox 26 News is just reporting fake news. Lol The Golden Era is Here!! Can not wait for $5.00 a gallon.!

Lost a good one. RIP & teach them angels the Perfect Country and Western Song!

There have already been 2 US Merchant vessels safely pass through the strait. There was a report that Iran had fired a warning shot at one of our destroyers.....lol That would be suicide.

He screwed up almost everything he touched [Hidden Content]

CB was the exact same way! Oh, wait…

All of the complaining about utility prices… you should have elected this guy instead of the schmuck we have in the White House now.

People always start off liking the new guy. Time will tell. Crumedy wanted to rehire a retiree from Manvel but was told no for two years that the district didn't allow it. His wife is a district employee. He would have been great for the defense. Just pointing it out because the rules seem to be changing for this guy. Also, was asked about players returning, they have a lot of people who are graduating and one who transferred out. I also heard that the school board is comprised of two parents who want to run the team and their children to get playing time. It will be interesting to watch as the season comes upon us. Lastly, the new facilities Foreman is working in is a result of Crumedy's connections and work.

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
