OK but I still don't get it. They should be better than they are. Any other new school anywhere is built because upwardly mobile families are filling out the area and they are almost always good in sports for a period of time. Just seems weird that GCM has had what...two good years in a decade and a half?

We have a Quilted Northern problem in Baytown- Undeniably soft.

I'm not sure why GCM has not been better  Usually the newer school always gets a new school bump in output because that's where the upwardly mobile families that care about sports are moving. They also have McNair I am assuming? I would have bet good money on it that GCM would have at least been able to have LaPorte type success let's say. Instead they are no better than Lee or Sterling really over the last decade.

McNair has not produced athletes in years.

I attended the majority of the RSS home games in 2019. (didn't attend anything in 2020) and you are right RSS has loyal fans. I remember one cold windy night they were getting blown out badly but the fans stayed and cheered until the end.  

When GCM first opened they had a pretty decent following. The move to 6A not only killed most of the programs, it made fans indifferent. 

Football has been inconsistent and really has minimal history (12 years) with no playoff wins.

Sterling and Lee have much more in that department (even though the majority of those graduates from the 90's and up are now on the Hill).

GCM Vs Bh would have been a decent game last year. Lee Bh was a good game a couple years ago until the 4th quarter. 

He's talking more about attendance (I think). With that, I agree.  GCM has very little fan/student support. It's quite sad.

Kudos to the baseball team for coming out this year though. They need to get their classmates involved as well.

Sterling scrimmaged BH a few years back and it was ugly. Lee and GCM were in BH district for a while. Your smoking dope if you think it would be a playoff atmosphere. None of these teams would bring a crowd to BH and the game wouldn’t be close. I have no dog in the fight just stating the truth.

We will never know.

I’m sure TW was trying to schedule tough teams for BH in non-district play. GCM doesn’t really qualify as that right now. Good chance they’re in the same district with GCM next year though. 

I doubt it. GCM probably moving back to 6A.

He played 2nd half.  Didn’t attempt a single pass.  We literally lined up and ran the ball every play.  Dayton could have sent 10-11 every play and it wouldn’t have mattered. 

Sounds like they just wanted to get out healthy and to the off week. Not the worst decision. No one makes the playoffs winning non-district games.

I’m assuming they had the roster. They kept calling him Mason Duke. I think #5

I’m sure it was him. He was hurt last week, but they expected him to play. Just thought they would have made a better showing. Sounds like Dayton will have a Happy Homecoming. 

Final

All 3 teams will have an Open Week and then start district play.

I was gonna say duke Johnson probably would have helped. I’m watching it on Texan live but Mason duke was in the entire game. 

Damn. Not good

Duke Johnson?

Duke Johnson?

Mason Duke- QB

This is just a tad bit surprising. I assume Duke did not play tonight. Not that he would have changed the outcome.

Well westerburg is gone so the problem should have cleared up lol

 

They do not play each other in volleyball either which makes no sense

It is not him.

They will play volleyball in the playoffs.

It has been a long time coming but to be fair up until last year the GCCISD schools didn't even play each other every year. Does seem like a missed opportunity for some revenue and rivalry building for when they are inevitably in the same district in the future. 

I am just gonna say it's not a GCCISD decision.  They play in virtually every other sport.

I mean. Don’t get it twisted.  Nothing is wrong with putting a lot into the academics side.  But schools should be able to put just as much into the sports side Too.  

When you’re winning, the whole campus is electric. It has been a power outage since 1986. Some ups, mostly downs. I thought Kyle Gandy was going to turn the tides. Beat Katy at Katy on their Homecoming. But, thanks in part to Olins Ganders, that team finished 6-4 and missed the playoffs. The carousel then continued. Hopefully we will make strides this year. Brought back some young coaches with Baytown roots- Chance Nelson and Jeremy Moses. They know the clientele. We shall see.

The step in the right direction was voted down a few years back. Combine the 3 schools. But 75% of Baytown was afraid of competition to make their school teams and other various things they would have had to compete for.

This is true, but we have never had 75% of Baytown vote for anything. 

We missed a giant opportunity to build 9th grade campuses when GCM opened. Seems like 2K people approved that bond. 

But yes, there are a lot of people in Baytown that don't want to compete.

The ball is in their court. They can very easily build state of the art football facilities like indoors, nice weight rooms, great practice facilities just like the DFW districts I mentioned that are very similar to Baytown and Pasadena size wise. The question remains is football important enough to them to do that? The answer is obviously a resounding “no”. 

We just added turf football, baseball, and softball fields at every high school.

We approved the construction of a new fieldhouse at Stallworth (I hope this includes paving the parking lots). 

I seriously doubt we will construct indoor practice facilities for each school. Although they tried to do this at rel when they updated their weight room. I think they have a 50 yrd area inside they use.

Is football the priority? No.
