Lions Pride 2021

West Brook looks fine to me. They're playing schools with 1000-1500 more kids to pull from. Imagine if PNG, Nederland and PAM just combined teams.
And they're winning. It's an accomplishment and they'll look better once they play schools closer to their size in the playoffs.
They're ranked appropriately and if they keep it close to decent against North Shore they won't fall too far in the rankings. NS makes everyone look bad.

The kids have nothing to do with the non district schedule. Coaches on both sides want competitive games so they look for qualities that will help them come district and hopefully beyond.
Sometimes you think it's going to be competitive and you're just a little better than you thought you would be and the other teams are not as good as you thought. Two years ago, the Splendora non district schedule looked competitive but they ended up with the best team in their school history.  Their program is on the upswing and I'm happy for them.
The only thing that matters is they won their first district game and they move on towards their goal of making a playoff run.

I would suggest you visit the Equal Justice Initiative, aka the Hanging Museum, in Montgomery, Alabama. That is a horrible word that white people have forever forfeited the right to use. It's about a days drive and will leave you in tears.
As for black people, some of us have turned it into a word of endearment and others would bury it. I go back and forth on it every day and have educated my children why it's not a good word but I understand why we as a group use it amongst each other. 
I can't call my lady' friends the b word but she can. I have no problem with that. 
Taneshi Coates said it better than I could, that ain't y'all's word and y'all can't tell us what to do with it.

I think Splendora wins but stranger things have happened. But it will be competitive. 
As for my alma mater, As long as the Bears play not to lose ( which is what LCM has done outside of 93-98 when we weren't scared), there's a chance. I'm looking forward to visiting Battling Bear stadium for the first time in almost 20 years. Never sat on the visitor side so this should be fun.
There's no one in this district that can take a team for granted. Ain't no team in this district is a name that inspires fear in their opponent, like say, WOS. Overlook the Lions at your own peril. They are extremely fast.
Livingston is going to win 2 district games and play in November.

So sad. Kids are going too far with hazing.

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up This is not good team building.

Hargrave will be district champs this year. They're not losing to Lumberton at home on Homecoming. 35-20 Falcons.

Katy has suspended it's quarterback for two games and stripped him of his captainship after he was caught on the Mike saying a word that white people shouldn't say.

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Kid sounds remorseful, and no one should be judged by a single bad decision. I hope he learns and becomes a better person for it.
Katy will survive this. Just a reminder that hot mikes are everywhere so keep it clean in public.

No shame for Newton losing to Gilmer. Watched KTRE Red Zone and Newton talked about the size and how Gilmer speed the game up to keep Newton off balanced. They didn't use it as an excuse, but it's a big ask when your kids are going both ways while the other team can rotate fresh guys in at anytime.
Gilmer suits up 47 and plays a bunch of them. I would bet when Newton played Silsbee or WOS the number of players were similar or close.
The streak was bound to end. Better on the road than in Arlington.   I take 15-1 hoisting a trophy versus 15-1 and losing my last game of the season.
Newton will be fine.
As for Jasper, Silsbee and WOS, the playoffs ought to be fun.

Wow. Thats a tricky spot. You prepare all week for glass Joe and get Mike Tyson at the bell. 
Jasper will be alright. It's a good wake up call that the route to North Texas is going to be a fight.
BTW Carthage 17, Gilmer 9 going to the fourth quarter.  This has been a fun game.

Livingston had a TD called back against Shepherd,  two TDs called back against Orangefield, and another against Liberty that would have made it a game. They are explosive, just gotta clean up a few things.
The field will be fine, there has not been much rain here.
So no benefit of a sloppy field. Jasper will do what they want. But it wouldn't surprise me if Lions got 3 TDs.

48-7 final. Liberty Panthers. Good show.

Unless there's a 7A made,  even West Brook will be 5A within 10 years even maintaining its current student population. Houston, Dallas Austin and San Antonio don't open 5A schools anymore. It's not economical.
The population growth up 69 is crazy. New Caney, Porter, Cleveland will all be bigger than West Brook in 10 years, with Splendora not too long behind.
Beaumont just hasn't grown since the 1980s. The metropolitan area is missing about 600-700k people, which it would have had if it had kept up with all the growth Texas has had in the last 30 years. It's a shame, the area has a lot of good things going for it.

The streak is dead!!!!  Last second TD pass!!! The fat lady is singing!32-29 L-Town!!!!!

Were it not for the census bureau adding Newton County to the count, Beaumont Port Arthur Orange would have had negative growth. Most census projections show the area shrinking in population by the end of the century.
As for the plants, these new units only need 5-10 people to run them. The construction is temporary.
The area really needs to diversify. It's not a good sign when Orange county doesn't have a hospital and they refuse to pay for one and Port Arthur loses one.  Doesn't speak well for the health and growth prospects for the area.
