    I dont know if it's the same way, but I attended Elsik back in the day and it was a lottery.......you didnt choose what school you went to. You could have siblings going to two different High schools.....kind of hard of parents, especially single parents if both kids have a game that night. I also heard rumors the start of last season when Alief Taylor played Katy on ESPN that the game was MANDATORY for teachers and staff to fill the stands. Since you're in the know, is there any truth to that? And I agree....win or lose, support the kids

     

    I graduated from Alief Elsik in 2001 and I can always remembering feeling a little embarrassed when we would get to the playoffs and play someone like Katy in the Astrodome and we might have 800-1000 people and Katy would have 15000 to 18000 I always wondered why poeple didnt show up and support the community schools.  Even when I was a freshman and our basketball team had Rashard Lewis (Gatorade player of the year) and Elsik would play a playoff game or a road game and there would only be 150-200 Elsik fans and the other school would have 500 I never could understand why this was until I went back to work in Alief.  Like Coach Huddleston stated he works at Hastings now he sees the inner city first hand, I can remember having to take 6-7 kids home from baseball practice because they did not have a ride and the only way the kids could get up to practice or game on saturday was by the Metro.  It sucks for the kids and I couldnt stand why people would not show up to the games but when they dont have a ride, the kid doesnt have a real home, mom or dad is in jail (or both), grandma is raising them and she just got off the night shift and has 30 minutes to change and get to her next job, it is unreal until you see an experience it.  I have met many fine men that are teachers and coaches at these schools and many of them know you probably wont or ever get the chance to play for a state championship, but they know they are the only male figure in these kids life and they wouldnt trade it for anything.  I have all the respect in the world for Coaches like Coach Huddelston and Martel at Hastings and Coach Barron at Elsik, they would, will and have bent over backwards for these kids in these inner city schools
