    It's easy to throw opinions out there about how certain ISDs spend their money and how well they manage it.  This is straight from TEA 2022-23 school year.

    "The state's school financial accountability rating system, known as the School Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST), ensures that Texas public schools are held accountable for the quality of their financial management practices and that they improve these practices. The system is designed to encourage Texas public schools to better manage their financial resources to provide the maximum allocation possible for direct instructional purposes."

    There have been many examples througout history where well-established technologies were quickly replaced when better technologies became available.  The Horse and buggy vs the automobile, outhouse vs indoor plumbing and the typewriter vs the word processor just to name a few.  I get that many people are of the mindset that “football is supposed to be played in grass”.  Well that’s probably because there was no such thing as field turf when football was created.  Technology has definetly had an effect on footbal with reguards to helmet safety.  Did the guys who played in leather helmets fight the transition to better made  and safer ones?  I bet not.  Times change, the weather changes and even the game of football has changed.  

  17. Nederland 35 Beaumont Central 20/Final

    Were you at the game?  Central was up 13 - 7 with a TD they left on the field and looked poised to finish the job at halftime.  second half, no adjustments were made (Nederland made their adjustments) and you see Nederland reeled off 28 second half points....    What else do you call it?  Our coaches got lost with their 5 play playbook while Nederland seem to make every play like they were going against the practice squad on both sides of the ball, even got their playmakers to make plays....  Our playmakers were bogged down.  it's the coach's job to get the players in positions to make plays.  

    Sure, Nederland made adjustments at halftime....Most coaches do.  What happened in the second half is Nederland's O-line wore down Central's D-line and imposed their will on them!!  

    Nederland had two really bad offensive series to start the game, but then got going.  Central did not dominate the first half.  They had 117 yds to Nederland's 100,  one offensive TD and a kickoff returned for a TD.   Nederland's D-line was in the backfield ALL night last night.  Whaley had 21 carries for 100 yds!!!  2.1 yd. per carry.  If you looked at Nederland D-line before the game, they looked outmanned.  But then the game started and they dominated.  Take away the stupid penalties that kept many of Central's drives alive and it's even worse.   

    The better football player is the one executes his assignment and has the tools do so.  It's not always the one with the the height, weight or speed advantage.  If you lined all of Central's and Nederland's players head to head, Central would have Nederland beat at almost every position in those categories I listed above.  But Nederland had the better football players out on that field last night!
