I want my kids to go to the next level, whether it be at football, baseball or basketball. Don't think for a second if it was at all possible mine wouldn't be in Crosby's program if they could be.  We as parents can only do so much as far as them working and getting to camps and being see. They have to have the chance in their school program as well.

Oh please. Do you think they're going to stop practicing outside?

I think the SETX area is falling behind, but I think it's due more to the contraction/stagnation of the entire area in general. It's behind in enrollment, compensation, imagination, facilities and infrastructure as a whole. You can go to south and west Texas and find the exact same issues though. Other than the HISD schools I think the Houston area gets it as far as what it takes to compete. New Caney just built Texan Drive, Katy is building another monster, BH just built a college level indoor facility, Cy-Fair dropped about 60 mil on the Berry Center and even a place like Crosby there was a bond just passed that allocated multi-millions for athletic facilities/improvements. I think that was even after Crosby already spent about a million replacing the old turf with a new rug.
Our problem down here is that we're heavy on single high school ISD's. When you have 30k+ students like Mansfield ISD or 50k+ students like Plano ISD then you have a huge tax base to fund a single stadium and more money for individual facilities on campus. Even an inner-city school like Galena Park, which is in the district with North Shore, has a nice facility behind their school where the players can walk straight out of the field house to a field turf practice field. That's because they have over 22k students in the district and a relatively low income, but huge tax base and therefore have nice facilities for a two high school district. At times the mentality in SETX is that "we did it this way in '76, so we can do it again the same way".
Until the thinking down here becomes more progressive like that of the Dallas, Austin and Houston area suburbs SETX will be bringing up the rear. With all that being said though, I think WOS and North Shore showed you there's no replacement for a community producing great athletes.    

sometimes an ego can get you beat..

Congrats to all of the young men and women for their hard work and accomplishments.

Soulja, if PAM looses to Lumberton and Vidor this year, I promise you that they will have a new coach in 2017...

According to Gabe Pruett, Port Arthur Memorial plays:
Bay (Panama City, FL)
Houston Westside
Houston St. Thomas

Well in all fairness, you dont have to be a homer to see that Silsbee has a kid that needs to be a finalist or even win the offensive award.

The kid needs to go to a school he feels that fits him , not the name of the school.

Success must be relative. I mean Faircloth is 42-26 in his time at PN-G. He hasn't had the postseason success or the success against Nederland. That, I'm sure, is what is ultimately held against him. Be careful what you wish for if you're a PN-G fan and you want him outta there.
That being said, if he did go to SLC as the OC, I think he'd do a great job. Incredible offensive mind.

They would win the state title after I leave lol.
Congrats Coach T and to the entire Mustang team!!!! Enjoy this one, it's been a year in the making.

I voted for this the last few years when I was at the Enterprise. I don't love it, it's tough to vote on so few players in every classification. In most cases all you have to go off of stats. And if two kids have similar stats, I'm sure the writers from different areas will go with whoever they know better, or their local kid. The TSWA system is better because it also incorporates the playoffs. But there's no perfect system.
Also, I'm not sure how Dontre Thomas only got honorable mention. I feel like his regular season stats were still just as good or better than he guy that made 1st team.

I can't make the game but will be tuned in one way or the other...time to bring a trophy back to SETX...GO MUSTANGS!!!

From what I hear, they're not as fast as say a Gilmer, but they're big, strong and disciplined. Seems like a classic case of size vs speed. I hope that WO-S doesn't wear down because of the size difference in the 2nd half. Otherwise, I think it'll be a great game between two state powers! I really want to go to the game, not sure if I can swing the flight though. Either way, the Stangs have my full support!
