WO-S needs Weeks 5 and 6. I have heard about the potential of week 5 being filled with San Antonio Johnson, but I heard about Foster, Ennis and Abilene Wylie and none of them have panned out yet.

I don't think anyone is advocating the defunding of anyone's athletic program. I think what those who have urged caution is not for OVERSPENDING just to keep up with the Jones. Your kid and for that matter, ozensfinest are a couple of examples. You have mentioned your sons' athletic prowess at a young age. Did he get that because Crosby has state of the art facilities? Or did he get that because the Crosby ISD invested in necessary items like a coaching staff that knows how to physically develop a young athlete an how to mentally get that athlete motivated to have that development. The same with ozensfinest. He parlayed his high school career into signing with an FBS school. He did that despite having the training facilities of Ozen High, which I am sure he will be happy to tell you were barely modern, much less state of the art. His school shared what has been referred to in this thread as a "dime a dozen" stadium with two other schools. Again, his development, other than his own God given ability, was aided by the investment in a guy by the name of Jeff Nelson, who rubbed some folks the wrong way but got miles out of his players.

But remember that bond referendums are at the mercy of the voters of the school districts. The officials at LC-M probably saw which way the wind was blowing after seeing a bond which included turfing the football field in West Orange get voted down...twice...and seeing the same thing happen in Nederland. Look, if the school districts can get the money to do so, they should certainly invest in improved athletic facilities. However, the premise that a school district doesn't give a crap about athletics if it doesn't pony up for a new athletic facility is not one that I am willing to buy.
