AggiesAreWe

Some pretty important games to discuss this week. I think the most important game for Tuesday night is Warren @ Hardin. These two are battling Buna for that 3rd playoff spot. All three are currently tied. Friday night has Huffman @ Splendora and a win by Huffman could get them in the mix for the playoffs.

[quote name="bobbymcgee" post="1167885" timestamp="1327880945"] will both PN-G/Silsbee games be at PN-G too? [/quote] NO!!

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1167871" timestamp="1327877033"] I am saying from being around it, those numbers may not be accurate...I DOUBT Wheatley has 800 students, let alone 1100...They did not want to drop to 3A in the past, is all I am saying...Not making any accusations...just OBSERVATIONS ;)... [/quote] They do not have to drop is the point. They could still opt up like the others have done in the past few realignments. There was no need to fudge any numbers. You always have the option to stay up.

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="1167861" timestamp="1327875678"] I pick all home teams! [/quote] List them please.

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1167866" timestamp="1327875974"] Numbers reported versus ACTUAL ATTENDANCE FIGURES....Like I said before, not 100% sure, but I understand how it works over there...and I am PRETTY SURE that Wheatley, for example does NOT have 1101 students by any means...PRETTY SURE... [/quote] So you are saying HISD is reporting false numbers to the UIL? They are lying to the UIL? They are cheating? I thought this kind of stuff didn't happen over there?

Here is the link to those numbers at UIL for last realignment (4A): [Hidden Content]

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1167840" timestamp="1327871923"] I think that we are saying the same thing AAW...Jones, Sterling, and Yates have specialized "magnet" programs within the school, NOT traditional magnet programs...Kashmere sends those kids to Barbara Jordan during the day and they are allowed to play sports at Kashmere..I can pretty much tell you that those numbers are WAY off...Particularly at Wheatley....1101? They have not had THAT many kids there in a good while..I can't say for certain, but I will bet the ranch those HISD numbers are inaccurate...They do a lot for re-alignment purposes in HISD..THAT I DO know for certain. [/quote] Those numbers came straight from the UIL. They were used to classify those schools in the last realignment. The numbers were sent to UIL by HISD. HISD decided to opt up in the last 2 realignments. I am holding that packet in my hands right now. (have attended the last 2 realignments, broadcast live from Region V, we will be there this year again). You can look on the UIL website to get these same numbers or if you happen to have a Dave Campbell Texas Football mag, those numbers are in there too. How are those numbers not accurate?

These are the enrollment numbers for the HISD 4A schools in the last realignment (per UIL): 21-4A Austin          1904 Reagan        1842 Waltrip        1789 Davis          1563 Sharpstown  1239 Yates          1209 Sterling        1103 22-4A Wheatley          1101 Worthing          1013 Washington        946 Furr                  865 Scarborough      733 Jones                686 Kashmere          596 Washington, Furr, Scarborough, Jones and Kashmere have had 3A numbers for the past several years. Sterling, Wheatley and Worthing would be the next likely schools to drop to 3A.

Last realignment they had over 1200 students and cutoff for 3A was at 990. Just don't see them dropping more than 210 students in just 2 years. But, it's possible. [/quote] Yeah its possible, but [b]doubtful that it happened like that[/b]...Spoke to some folks yesterday in the HISD loop, and they indicated that the community is totally against going to 3A...I think that they were not counting the 200+ kids that are in the School of Communications program at Yates, that do not LIVE in the zone. Thats ONE of the explanations that I got about the numbers...Its SO many ways that schools can fudge those numbers one way or another in order to get the outcome that they desire...HISD athletic dept. is not particularly crazy about it either. I may GO to the re-alignment meeting next week...Its gonna be GOOD! 8) [/quote] Doubtful that it happened like what? What are you speaking of? HISD did not check the box to opt up for Yates, so that tells me they are content on having Yates go where their numbers place them. The snap shot day was back in October, so the numbers have been sent in. Problem is, HISD did not make those numbers public like other districts did on snapshot day. [/quote] I was stating that it was doubtful that the numbers just dropped so rapidly in just two years..I was saying that maybe they failed to count those Communcation students who live OUTSIDE the zone..Thats what I was told, anyway...There was a reason HISD kept those numbers private....I guarantee.. ;)...I don't think they really WANT to go down..They may HAVE to, but I don't believe thats the desire though. [/quote] If HISD does not WANT to go down, then why didn't they just check the box to opt up, regardless of the numbers, like they have done the past 3 realignments? BTW, who do you men by THEY when you state "they failed to count those Communication numbers who live outside the zone"? The snapshot number is how many students are enrolled in said high school, all campuses. Not how many students live within the school zone.

[quote name="Rizon" post="1167626" timestamp="1327809215"] Didn't they graduate a lot? Do they have a lot of key players returning? [/quote] Yep.

[quote name="XDOG" post="1167358" timestamp="1327731629"] Well Aggie they do when it comes to 3a [/quote] I'll take the coaches knowledge on the other classifications as well. ;)

[quote name="Allen Gamble" post="1167590" timestamp="1327802671"] What does silsbee have that puts them on this list [/quote] Shhhhhhhh.... it's a secret.

The opening and closing of the doors are the same at both gyms. Fans from both sides get left out. The seating arrangements are not the same, unfortunately.  ;)
