Why was I thinking this game was on Thursday?

For the most part I agree with you buddy. It just depends on who the other 6 teams in the district are besides West Brook.
I still ask the question, if the main building at Central is not going to be used anymore, why does it look like a turnaround at one of your local plants over there everyday?
BISD can invest the money in the building and, even in the case of a merger, use it in another capacity. This isn't about a lack of facilities as much as it is about an opportunity to do what should've been done long ago. No need for three high schools in Beaumont and this is a convenient excuse to make that a reality. it's the right decision.

When I see this publication, I remember that this was the, ahem, "journalist" who, among other things, made the claim that the Ozen football team had trashed the visitor's locker room at Barbers Hill High during a bi-district football game. A claim that was refuted by the AD at Barbers Hill almost immediately upon hearing it.
When I hear this "gentleman" speak regarding anything BISD, I immediately dismiss this as a guy with an agenda against BISD.
I'm not saying that the TEA isn't pleased with the school district as board members who were elected 6 months ago are still not in office. What I AM saying is that I will NEVER rely on the words of Phillip Klein to be accurate or even close.
Klein is a cook.....but his info aligns with what I am hearing from other reputable sources.

All jokes aside, I never understood the crazy support that was poured out for the old South Park HS, or the gusto with which administration displayed when demolishing it. I’m sure there were dynamics at play that outsiders like myself could only wonder about.
I also fully expect that people who felt that they “lost” on South Park are poised to return the favor regarding whatever ends up happening to Central HS.
I fully expect that we’re all about to take another lap on the old BISD political roller coaster regarding the fate of the these two schools.
I’ve also read predictions that the TEA is displeased with the ongoing turmoil and steadily declining school rankings of some BISD campuses. That source believes that we’ll see a complete TEA takeover and a conservator appointed to replace the current Board of Managers within the next two months. I doubt it, but who knows what will happen if a conservator is appointed.
I am telling you, the TEA is not happy about the reelection of Bush and the son of Reece. They are going to do everything in their power to ensure the people of Beaumont do not get to reseat the very people that single handedly oversaw the destruction of BISD. I am not sure how accurate your source is, but I can assure you all that the TEA is considering all options at this point.

Yes, TEA. Who did you think I was talking about at first?
Agreed. I didn't know if you knew about some illuminati business going on in BMT. My source dang sure hasn't filled me in on any of that.

Heck, we're still waiting on the board that we voted for to actually be seated... The board that's present is the BOM that they want to stay in place for a little longer...
And who is "they"? If you are referring to the TEA.....agreed. If not, I am not sure I am following what you are implying.

I'd probably drag my feet too since the citizens of District 2 reelected Zenobia Bush, and the citizens of District 4 elected the son of Woodrow Reece who wasn't even sharp enough to file to run for the district he lived in. Obviously the citizens of those two districts are fine with the corruption of the previous board and BISD's fragile condition cannot handle any of what they've had for the past several years. The TEA should ensure the current BOM holds on to their position until the people living in Beaumont can pull their heads out of their rear ends and ensure that their children's futures are taken care of.

Not to mention the potential to take that third FB coach salary and split it between the two 6A schools, allowing them to actually pay a 6A salary to the football coaches. The names that might jump at the chance to coach a combined Central and Ozen squad for a competitive salary might shock us all. Plus, a district matchup between WB and "the school to be named later" would be something to look forward to year in and year out. This is all positive.
Finally a BOM that truly cares about the kids and the future of BISD rather than their own interests.

Those who will hold tightly to the history of Central need to loosen their grip. I'm all for history and tradition, but the merger makes the most sense for the kids, and for the financial viability of the district. Once they merge, they will pass a bond and build a new high school that will be fabulous. The kids that have been dealing with sub par facilities and technology will have state of the art facilities and technology. The bad teachers will be weeded out leaving only the best of the best from each campus. Education quality will rise, opportunity will rise, student success will rise. It's best for all involved.
Let the tradition argument go.....it's not valid.

Just combining Central and Ozen would put the enrollment of the new school around 2400-2500
Exactly. WB enrollment sits at 2400 ish currently. Two equal schools = best plan available.

What do you mean, "done?" The work has been completed or saving the school is a lost cause?
It's done. The merger is being planned as we speak. The discussion is revolving around how to handle the backlash regarding the loss of tradition and history at Central.

Maybe HJ and Kountze should switch coaches. It might be time for a homecoming.
-
When they started adding "first team special teams".....that's when it jumped the shark.
-
I raised all these questions when it was initially decided that the school was uninhabitable and was told that they would fix it quickly and be back to business as usual. My sources say it is done.

Write it down....Central is going away.

You have to Ben kidding me. That will bury Liberty.

Wait, JJ Slack was ejected?

He started on 3 consecutive state championship teams at Carthage. Was a safety as a sophomore and QB the next 2 years. Threw 6 TD passes in 2010 state championship game.
A straight up stud that lit it up every time he laced up his cleats. A shame he didn't pan out at ETBU, but nothing for him to hang his head about. I believe he's married to a girl from Hardin now.

i still have mine, in the closet. It is a keepsake that you can show of to your kids. Also one will get their letter jacket on the hottest day of the year and wear it with pride, because it is one of the things in high-school that is earned.
Ehhh, when they started giving them for UIL and Ag, they stopped being so prestigious.

Makes me think that even if all other things are equal, HJ is taking a L this weekend.
