Many teachers do have “Real Degrees” that are capable of achieving them more money. However at some point in their life they realized that their lives were positively impacted by a teacher and decided that they would like to do the same. They do this at the expense of financial security that is available for them. Yes there are long periods where teachers are off. However they are not paid for that time. Those checks during the summer are their salary spread out over the year. Yes if their salary is not enough then they are more than welcomed to get a “Real Job.” Which btw many are doing. Do you know why teacher salaries are going up every year for first time teachers. Because teachers are not lasting. So the children of America are being taught by new teachers more and more. Lower quality teachers for more money than ever. That doesn’t hurt society at all. So don’t worry about the pension of teachers, many won’t teach long enough to get it.

College degree required, hours of grading and lesson planning that are to be done on own time, educate children, professional development training in summers, year by year employment, corporal punishment has basically been removed from schools so they have some awesome kids to deal with. Oh not to mention that the average college grad leaves college $25,000 in debt. Yep they are overpaid. Take a read on this link and then tell me teachers are overpaid. [Hidden Content]

We do dictate what we pay coaches and teachers. We elect a school board and they approve these contracts. If the public felt as you did then they would elect someone that would say no to these salaries. You would also loose quality coaches and instead have people using your school as a springboard to a better paying job or a coach waiting on retirement. Either way your athletic program will go down the crapper. I believe people working in education are generally good hearted people that want to improve the lives of their students. But if you remove incentive to strive for success, you will stop seeing success achieved.

I knew quite a few guys on my team in high school that got diplomas because of having to remain eligible to play high school sports. Our coaches constantly checked our grades and stayed on us. Even out of season we were expected to pass. Those Coaches that can motivate the "Bad" kid to do his work when the rest of the teachers have made up their mind that this kid is not worth their time deserve ever cent and more. I know their are plenty of teachers that are doing their best and are in it for the right reasons. They try and reach every kid they can. However, some kids need that tough love of a coach to push the harder to reach kids. Beside we live in a Capitalist country. You want everyone to make the same? Move to a communist country.

If Boling doesn’t come out and score on opening drive this score is gonna get ugly fast.

Newton scores and fails to convert the 2pt attempt. 21-20 Boling

4&1 Boling goes for it and takes it 45 yds to make it 21-14 Boling. For Newton’s speed I’m surprised that Boling has had as many long runs.

That early momentum is wearing off.

First time watching Boling this year. Not enough people talked about their shifty change of pace back #28. Newton is keying #6 and that 28 is hurting them. 14-0 Boling 4:50 1st Qt

Boling drives 98 yards then recovers onside

They will if HISD opts all of their schools up to 4A D1 like last go around. The Districts will likely remain very similar to last time in that scenario.

If Navasota gets put in the district again then I'd go with them winning it. The UIL did it once, Im sure they wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

Im guessing Houston ISD will consolidate there schools as much as possible to save money and create all HISD districts. They will probably opt all of their 4A schools to 4A D1 which creates an 8 team district. They will probably bump all of their 5A schools to 5A D1 which creates another 8 team district. So that will do some major adjustments to the districts in region 3.

[Hidden Content] Not sure who they go after but this school has put out some athletes. Surprised to here they have only won 5 playoff games in their history.

They any closer on the head guy at Lake Creek?

I am pretty sure they won't split up a school district to balance it out so yeah someone is gonna get screwed. There will be some 7 team districts, so maybe they will be able to just add 1 school and not mess it up too much. Maybe throw Lee in there. That would leave enough schools to put together for a district for Port Lavaca.

There's only 6 HISD schools at 5A DII. Unless they bump up some schools from 4A, they will have to have some schools placed in their district.

Thats pretty much what I was thinking it would turn out to be. That Waco game is gonna be a drive! Not sure they don't go north towards some of the schools that are south of the DFW area. Either way its a spread out district. Not like the good ole days of playing kids that you played little league against. Hows do you think the split with y'alls schools gonna affect your teams? I know y'all were playing with some monsters up at 6A. Is the opening of Lake Creek gonna drain some of your talent away at Montgomery next year?

The new Montgomery school will be 5A D2 and Montgomery will be close to the cutoff. That may be where Splendora/Cleveland may shift towards. Not sure where the rest of the teams will come from though.

Glad to see the Reeves twins from Cleveland both get 1st team selections on their last year for Cleveland. That 88 sure is an animal out there. I hope he will get to play at the next level. Congrats to all that were selected.

That one was a pretty good game. How far did ya'll go that season? That team was loaded for Cleveland. I'm trying to be positive for this game. So here goes the grasping for straws reasoning for why Cleveland will win. Back in the late 90's when Cleveland was in the same district with Silsbee, Cleveland only made the playoffs 1 time. It was the last season before Cleveland moved down to 3A. The last game of District, Cleveland clinched an undefeated District Championship by beating Silsbee 61-12 (which is the last time Cleveland beat Silsbee). This will be the last 4A season before Cleveland moves up to 5A. Im calling on history to somewhat repeat itself and Cleveland ends their tenure with 4A on a high note. Cleveland 34-33!

He was on varsity last year and this year. He is one of the backs that they use and is also a CB for them. He was the player that was horse collared and left in the ambulance last week. He is definitely a player. I haven't heard anything on him but it didn't look good.

I know that a couple of weeks ago Cleveland had one of the main threats on offense and defense leave the game with an injury in first series but he played last week. He had a couple of nice runs but didn't stand out that much. Not sure if hes 100%. Last week a different RB/CB left in an ambulance with a leg injury from what looked like a horse collar tackle. Not anticipating he'll be back for this game. They've been dealing with injuries all season. 2 of the starting O linemen haven't played in any district games. But I'm sure that every team has their own stories about injuries. They are part of the game. Oh well, whats that saying? Next man up.

Awesome break down of what is at stake for each game. I think that it’s pretty cool that every team has a chance for the playoffs going into the last week of district play. It’ll be a long shot but I sure hope that my Indians can pull off the upset of District play Friday night. Of course I’m forced to root for Huffman as well. No matter how it plays out, good luck to all the representatives that make it out of district.

If that is the district then I would say this might be a case where it may be in Cleveland's best interest to request a move up into Kpark, Caney Creek, Porter, New Caney district. Who knows what the UIL will do.
