IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO REPLACE DAWS. I KNOW MARK WILL HAVE CLOSE TO 80% OF THE BOYS IN EVADALE PLAYING FOOTBALL.

SALARIES! WE GET PAID A SET AMOUNT WITH NO OVERTIME OR COMP. TIME. TIME OFF! WE FINISH AT THE END OF MAY - START FOOTBALL THE LAST WEEK OF JULY OR EARLIER. STATE SAYS WE MUST HAVE SO MANY COLLEGE HOURS EVERY 5 YEARS BUT THEY DO NOT PAY FOR IT. COMPARE THE SHIFT WORKERS AT BASF WITH ANY HIGH SCHOOL COACH WHO IS NOT A HEAD COACH. - MORE DAYS OFF, ALOT MORE MONEY, BETTER INSURANCE, NO GROWN MEN YELLING THAT THEY KNOW MORE THAN YOU AND WHAT AN IDIOT YOU ARE FOR NOT CALLING THE RIGHT PLAYS. HAVING SAID ALL THIS, I LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT AND WOULD NOT CHANGE PROFESSIONS FOR ANYTHING. NOT COMPLAINING, JUST POINTING OUT THE OBVIOUS.

THEY WILL BE LOADED NEXT YEAR WITH SIMMONS AND LETSINGER. IT WILL BE HARD FOR THEIR DISTRICT TO COMPETE. THE NEIGHBORING DISTRICT DOES HAVE ALOT OF SPEED. JUST 8 MONTHS UNTIL DISTRICT STARTS.

IF YOU CHECK THE PANEWS ARCHIVES, I BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL FIND THAT A BLACK, FEMALE PRINCIPAL WAS ACCUSED OF SAYING THAT THE "MEXICANS" COULD GO BACK TO MEXICO IF THEY WANTED TO CELEBRATE CINCO DE MAYO. ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO.
