The whole argument of whether crosby and jasper should be playing is moot. Both teams and towns should be happy they are playing to take their mind off everything that has happened. There are still probably 100-200 teams in and around the Gulf Coast who are not playing next week. Heck it has been over 2 years since a typhoon hit where I am at and to this day the one gym on the island for our 3 high schools still has not been fixed.
The point is who cares who is playing who and if they should be playing when all that matters is that you are able to play.

Pretty sure Geno is just the Joe Lombard of women's college basketball.

More should be fired if this is true. Central Texas education is making headlines but for all the wrong reasons and the worst may be yet to come.

Texas City is in a tough position. Financially it does not make sense to have a 1800 student high school and a 400 student high school, but with the history of both La Marque and the rivalry it will more than likely not be a peaceful decision. La Marque has suffered with the academics and after the hurricane.
Right now if you consolidate Texas City and La Marque you have a small 6A school playing Dickinson and Clear Lake schools. I understand the concept of playing who is put in front of you, but the school and the community want to be successful in sports and UIL academics. In a district like that they would not be successful. Community pride comes from success in UIL in Texas. Then if you do consolidate what do you do with La Marque high school? Do you turn it into a 9th grade center or just sell it off? That could cause issues within the community, because I do not think La Marque people would like to see their high school and all of its history destroyed. I am not that familiar with the area, but that it is my guess.
They could vote to keep it the way it is if La Marque improves academically, but as I mentioned financially it would not make sense to keep the high school at their current population. Dallas ISD takes a lot of heat for having so many schools with a 3A district and a 6A district. It just does not work.
The third option that they could do is rezone in a year or two to have equal student population between the schools. As of now the two schools would be right on the cut line of 4A/5A. If they are both 4A then they would become dominant in district, but if they are both small 5As then it could be difficult in UIL just like if their was one 6A school. Once again, I only know of the rivalry from what I have read, but I do not know how Texas City folks would like having part of their town now zoned to La Marque. Especially the parents who grew up hating La Marque now watching their children playing for La Marque while still living in their hometown.
The final idea that could try is the Boerne method which is to have the schools close in population size but guarantee that the two schools are in separate classifications. While Boerne does it because they do not want a cross town rivalry, Texas City could do it because it would be the best option.
There are probably many more options, but nonetheless the fact is that is that the school board of Texas City will have to figure out a plan in the next couple of years and the plan will probably need to be presented to both communities so that the majority of Texas City and La Marque are accepting and their is no ill will.

The probably did it because Mary's is on the way.

Run
George "King of Texas" Strait
Was able to hear it live with Miranda Lambert at AT&T. Perfect, just Perfect.

Pretty sure Geno is just the Joe Lombard of women's college basketball.

Gray had no offensive line and then when he did start playing well, he tore his Achilles.

His choice will all come down to one thing.
Who offers the nicest truck.

You mean race away, right? He may have the talent to be a star, but their are too many red flags that have been shown.

Why you gotta bring that up? He was the other Splash Brother, the one no one claimed.  

Let's think best for the students. Next two years play all sporting events involving BISD and PNGISD at NRG, Minute Maid, and the Toyota Center. Yes it's a drive but then BISD would get their neutral site that they want and the students get to play on the same courts and fields as the professionals. BISD and their taxpayers can even pay for all the expenses. Rental Costs for the facilities, gas bill for both districts, and the ref costs. It would be the best solution.
Or PNG superintendent could just block BISD's calls and wait for UIL to say who cares.

Frisco ISD is being very smart to showcase the talent within the district with this quadruple header involving district matchups to open season. Do wonder how the coaches feel though having no non-district games.

The Mavs are also adding Curry as well to come off the bench. It is Seth, but with the name Curry, he will be making 3s.

UK may not have succeeded. England and Wales voted yes. They are going to negotiate to leave the EU. Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Gibraltar want to stay and are tired of being told what to do by the English. The troubles may be back if England tries to hold on to the last of its empire again.

I also want to wish Coach Beam good luck at Chester and I hope that Chester is able to continue the success under him. The success that has started with the move down to real football, and really showed last year the improvement that has been made. If the success and hard work keeps going in 3-5 years I think Chester might be able to start making noise deeper in the playoffs and in the state rankings. It takes time and they have done it the right way. They have showed they can win and are playing the best schools they can considering the distance they are from the good schools in Central Texas. The more experience they can get against schools like Calvert, Oakwood, Mt. Calm, and possibly Abbott and Aquilla they better they will be in the future.

Have not seen Stephenville/Brownwood/Wylie but there cannot be any more distaste between 3 schools anywhere else in the country.
As for Stephenville Aledo it was one of the shortest rivalries but every game was exciting and every grade level and sport competed like it was the only game of the season.

Would definitely not say it is that reason. There is nothing against him personally, but there are reasons for the statement not needed to be said publicly as they are beliefs and opinions.

What about it?

Baylor.
Where we promise a scandal every 10 years and also to never learn from the previous ones.

Lot of Brownwood and Stephenville on this list. Makes me wonder why the town in between could never be that successful.
