Change has been needed for a long time. After the first takeover the community voted back in the same idiots who'd presided over the disaster originally. It's hard to help people who won't help themselves. The amount of quality teachers that have left the district in the last 15 years is staggering. There were 28 classrooms at the campus I taught at in Beaumont. I left 4 1/2 years ago, and there are only 9 teachers left from when I taught there. How does a school have a 66% turnover rate in less than 5 years? I'll tell you how... an awful administration and lack of teacher support. On that whole campus there are 6 teachers with more than 6 years of teaching experience. At my new campus in another district there are also 28 teachers. 20 of us have more than 6 years experience. We have 12 teachers with 20 years of experience or more. Keep in mind that this district pays significantly less that BISD. There are dozens of teachers of the year in this area that spent time in Beaumont who took pay cuts to work elsewhere. If I'd been treated decently I would've worked my entire career at the school I started at. I loved my job, but hated the situation. BISD needs a complete overhaul, starting at the top.

The school district taught most of their parents, too.

Big upset for the rams! The Hamilton game feels winnable next week

Just need to pick up a couple yds to get away from the goal line and this one is over

Interception at the 2!

Refugio loses 5 on 1st down. Uses their last timeout with 1:34 left

Refugio picks up 30 to get to the Joaquin 20

For sure!

Rams just kept the ball for 9 straight minutes, scoring 23 points to from 14 down to up 9 up. What a game!

Ballsy call! Rams up 9 with 2:06 left. Rams up 37-28. Gonna be a tall task for Refugio to score twice in 2:06

35-28, try pending

Touchdown Rams!

Refugio timeout with 2:13 left in the game. Joaquin facing 2nd and goal from the 7. If they score here to go up 7 I’d like to see them go for 2 again to try and put it out of reach

Rams eating clock. Down to 1st and goal from the 9.

Rams recover another onside kick!

2-pt conversion good! Rams up 29-28 with 6:25 to play!

TD rams!

Joaquin with a quick score, then recover the onside! 28-21 Refugio, 10:06 left

After a great drive by Joaquin to cut it to 6 Refugio takes it to the house on their first play. 2-pt conversion good. 28-14, 11:43 to go

20-14, Refugio

What a run!

Sometimes, except we already know the "travel" that certain teams have foregone around here. Opting up for "travel" when you never had more than an hour drive to an opponent isn't convincing.

8-5A D1 projected district from DCTF is fun. Spring Westfield, New Caney, Lufkin, Crosby, West Brook, BMT United, Baytown Sterling, Goose Creem Memorial, Port Arthur Memorial.

Newton is the clear favorite in this one, but East Bernard is seriously battle tested. The records of their pre-district opponents: 10-3, 11-1, 11-2, and 5-6. Goliad, Woodlands Christian, and Ganado are all very good teams. They’ve pulled off 3 arguably upset wins against really good teams in the playoffs. Poth and Lexington are very good teams, and I don’t know if I’ve ever heard of a team avenging a 53-point loss in a playoff rematch, but their upset of Tidehaven was something special. Newton may have their hands full this week.

Give me King, North Shore, PAM, and Newton. Rooting for all 6.
