    I posted the following in the WB Summer Creek thread

     

    WB and BU are low on talent lately but even if Beaumont had 1 school, 2 schools, or 3 it wouldn’t make a difference. For the most part, and there are a few exceptions but not many, the successful schools in 5 and 6a are large suburban schools in which the districts have money and the parents too.  The schools have better facilities, coaches, and the parents have money to pay for individual coaching.   For the most part WB and BU are missing both of these two ingredients. It’s sad, but Beaumont ain’t what it used to be and it’s getting much worse.  The schools are dangerously close to being like inner city schools. This isn’t the kids fault and I feel sorry for them because it’s the parents and former administrators that ruined everything.   Maybe they can turn it around but it’s unlikely. A drop to 5a might help but people of all types are leaving BISD and I think that’s what left won’t win many games. 

     

    Beaumont has always been tough but in the 1980s-2000s all of the schools were competitive.

    When I played at Brook in the 2000s, our fieldhouse was leaky, half of our weights were rusty, the practice field was crappy yet we competed and always made the playoffs. We always wanted to kick the Houston suburban kids' arse because we had a chip on our shoulders after seeing their facilities and nicer uniforms.

    We beat defending state finalist Hightower, Clear Creek, Fort Bend Marshall, Baytown Lee at its peak, North Shore, loaded PA Memorial teams and so on and so forth.

    2000s Central also had bad facilities but they beat Pflugerville Conally, West Orange-Stark, Oak Ridge, Angleton, dominated Nederland and many others.

     

    Ozen had the best facilities of the 3 schools which still weren't exactly state of the art but beat 10-0 Galena Park, Brenham and several others as well.

     

     

     

    Aside from 2018, I don't know what's happened. Now that you mentioned better facilities and parents pay for private coaching, maybe it's a toughness issue and the kids are too soft now?

    Were you at the meetings when WOS had a C rating in 2019 (no ratings the last two years with COVID), but had a better football team?  Or is the B they got in 2022 only a problem because the football team is struggling?  Honest question.  Because if you ask me, bringing their academic rating up from a C to a B despite the challenges of learning through COVID is quite an accomplishment, and should be celebrated.  

    This. WOS is a school with a football team not a football team with a school.

    Reread my post.  It’s not about everyone becoming a Christian, it’s whether you’ll be able to be a Christian in the future.  As I posted, the Dem Party is chipping away at Christianity.  But alas, I think The Bible predicted this would happen.

    Funny, I can walk into any church rn and worship just fine. What's up with this persecution complex?

    Of course not. People routienly reject God. In fact most people are not Christians. The Bible is pretty clear on that. The difference in today and 25-50 years ago is that even though most people were really not Christians then either, America had Christian values, like traditional marriage, good family structures, respect for authorities, and everyone (mostly) abided by the laws of the land.     

    Now God and His values has been kicked out of the workplace, out of the schools, off of TV, and out of homes. God has been replaced throughout our culture with a lost, dark secularism. Lawless Dems win elections and the nation has since gone to hell.   

     

    Again, I don't recall where it says that everybody had to be Christian.

     

    And 50+ years ago, my grandparents couldn't shop in half the stores or eat in half the restaurants in SETX so I don't see why anybody would want to go back to that period.

    As politics pertains to HS Football, the Biden’s Administration refusal to uphold the Laws of the land, from protecting our Borders to turning a blind eye at everything from pickpockets to murderers, crime runs rampant.  Now it may threaten HS Football.  Then the chipping away at religion.  Here of course that means Christianity.  They’re doing everything they can to continue.  No praying at school.  No, not enough.  No praying at ball games.  Heck no.  What else can they do?  I know, stop many Churches from have Services/Mass during Covid.  Enough?  Surely there’s something else.  They’re even replacing BC & AD with BCE & CE.  The dates are still the same but we can’t have the fact that our calendar is based on Jesus Christ (even though it is).  Heavens no.  Chip, chip, chip away.  No doubt they’re planning right now on where to chip next.  You can bet your life on it.

    Oh excuse me, I didnt know everybody in America had to be Christian.

    Ah yes, the “are you so still beating your wife” question.

    Has he broken any law? Has he been indicted? Tried? Convicted?

     I don’t deny that anyone might have broken a law. What law and what evidence? 

     

    The Department of Justice is still investigating so we will see what charges he gets. I bet they will be hefty, can't wait for him to squirm on live TV.

    I wish he would have went with his original plan of refusing to leave the White House, I would have cried tears of joy and laughter watching the Secret Service or uniformed Marines drag his fat orange butt out the door on live TV.
