I went to a Little Dribblers game yesterday.  This is the crap the kids are playing on.  Little Dribblers raised money to replace this junk with adjustable goals in all the middle school gyms that they use.  Nederland admin told them no.  Someone else is wanting to pay for better facilities for our kids and they get shot down?   Make that make sense to me.  
 
Also the same Admin that won’t allow coaches to have camps for the youth in the summer.  I believe English is the only one that offers anything and he has to do it off campus at a church.  This is who we have running the district and ultimately making this hire.  Forgive me for not have much faith in them.

This is what people mean when they say culture change.  Maybe Todd Dodge can help out Nederland boys track program. Or at least get the kids to show up and get organized work outs in…..

Score was worse than the game.  Texans had some chances but Baltimore was just better.  Young team with a high ceiling.  

Does Nederland not emphasize this?  You’ve already called out English, but don’t mention other sports getting kids to sign contracts that they won’t miss practice for other sports.  It’s seems like you would get better talent working together, instead of making kids sign a contract that they won’t miss track practice for a baseball game. 

They going with the Harmony coach?

Why would the NFL put a playoff game on Peacock? Stupid.  Chiefs & Dolphins would be a fun watch in -30 degree win chill if it was on normal tv. 

Taso and UIL response 
 
Fitch explained, "TASO has a very rigorous Conflict of Interest (COI) Policy."
"Simply living within a school's attendance zone in itself is not considered a conflict. Imagine if every official living in the DISD attendance zone was excluded from officiating any DISD game," Fitch wrote.
"This would significantly dilute the pool of very qualified officials. After our inquiries, we have determined that the Line Judge has not violated any of the items in the TASO COI (Conflict of Interest) policy," Fitch noted.
 
 
University Interscholastic League Athletic Director Ray Zepeda responded to Elizalde in a separate letter.
"It would be impossible to preclude someone from officiating a game for a school simply because they live in that city or town," Zepeda said.
"For example, officials that live in the city of Dallas called four out of the five rounds of SOC's playoff contests prior to the 2023 state championship game," Zepeda noted.
"In conclusion, the game between Dallas South Oak Cliff and Port Neches-Groves was a very well played, well coached, competitive game that featured two very storied programs in Texas high school football," Zepeda said.

Saban is now available, but he didn’t win a title until his 10th season.  No sure if he fits the criteria.

Someone posted his taso card on the internet including his home address, so someone had it.  Maybe they didn’t notice until after the fact, but they do get the refs info cards. 
 
 
h. If the official has a child in school in one of the involved schools, or a child who graduated from one of the schools within the previous 2 years.

This is the only one I would question.  It says school not district.  His kids are younger, so not in the “involved school.”
