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.

Exactly. WB enrollment sits at 2400 ish currently. Two equal schools = best plan available.

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?

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.

Ehhh, when they started giving them for UIL and Ag, they stopped being so prestigious.

Still have mine from 18 years ago, but don't wear it. Something about grown men in letter jackets.......I can't do it.

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

Why is WH playing this game?

LHSA? Little Hopeful Shooters Association? Lonely Heart's Students Association?

Two words.....Rusty Nail.

I think they have a good chance to get out of the region. We shall see.

Somebody is salty. Especially after talking all that jabber this offseason. I figured you walked into this year with no expectations at all.

This is a 4th round game being played in round 1. I will definitely be at Stallworth on Friday night.

It's actually a disservice to the kids to allow 4 teams in the lower classifications. This will crush these kids.

Know how you develop winning cultures? Bring in coaches like Tod Stark and let him install a program.....not run him out of town in the middle of the season

Seems as if Gabe's expertise could be used by the BE or another news outlet in the area. Pretty crazy that this guy is not covering sports anymore in this area.......hear me VYPE?

I am not criticizing children, I'm criticizing the adults that were undoubtedly involved in all of this. Apparently leadership is lacking with that program.

Why? That field is embarrassing and it was once one of the best around!

I don't care what you say.....its pathetic.
