TAPPS 8-1A game

They are not in the area but for something a little different, a little East Texas small school basketball tonight via our broadcast partners at The Eagle as the Onalaska Bobcats take on the Trinity Tigers in 23-2A action from Trinity this evening. Join Ken Luck for all of the action beginning at 7:30 p.m. by clicking on the following link: [Hidden Content]

I also find it interesting that the Merrill Center was brought up for as most of you know, I live in the Katy ISD.  I am still waiting for when the "profits" of the Merrill Center, which has hosted consecutive Southland Conference tournaments, countless predistrict tournaments, UIL regionals and is even host to a professional (well, sort of) indoor football team, to provide me relief on my Katy ISD property taxes.  I paid those last week and it certainly didn't come this year. [/quote] Amen to that Grad,  I just built a house in Katy ISD.  And no, I don't have a child in the district yet.  That will be next year. [/quote]Thats what you guys get for moving to Katy. 40 years ago You could have bought a nice piece of land, no neighbors, and one school with one heck of a football team. [/quote] Good thought.  However under the laws of the State of Texas, I would not have been able to enter into any valid contract for purchase of property.....I was 3 years old then.

I hear it is a done deal

Never mind.  Prayers to Hotaling family at this time.

What are the details? Or is now not the appropriate time to reveal that?

Really, sorry to hear that.  I will just our schedule accordingly.

[/quote] But the kids are benefitting from top-notch facilities [/quote] I am going to steal a little Gene Hackman from Hoosier's here.  The height of the basket, regardless of whether it is in the 10,000 seat Merrill Center or the 1,550 seat Tiger Den is 10', the length of the lane is 15' and the length and width of the court is the same at both. I'm certainly not saying that every school district shouldn't have quality sporting facilities (stadiums, gyms, etc.) but when you pay the tax dollars I do, you are not near as excited about whether a high school kid has the opportunity to play in a Taj Mahal. [/quote]Ah, so what you're really saying is that you don't have a kid in high school @ Katy ISD ;) [/quote] And what you are really saying is that you don't property taxes.
