It would be nice if they balanced the 3 schools and played each other. I figure that would help travel cost as well since all of your sports would have 2 of their opponents across town. The way it is right now with all 3 in different districts is not ideal in my mind. Would make some nice, healthy competition along with some natural rivals. All of those are fun things when your in high school.
Maybe that is just a pipe dream though. Lee is smaller in size than Sterling and GCM so maybe the best we can hope for is Sterling and GCM to be the same size and Lee to be the smaller school. We shall see....
It would be interesting to see a district with GCCISD, Barber's Hill, Dayton, and Crosby all playing each other one day, but first things first is GCCISD has to all be in one district.

Un león no se preocupa por la opinión de las ovejas.

As a Baylor alum this is an interesting thread to read. I have many opinions on this matter, but feel like my opinions are shaded by my green and gold glasses so I am not going to get into them too much. Just to keep it brief, if the right thing to do was to clean out the football program then it would have also been correct for the Board of Regents to resign and re-elect new ones. Only one of those things happened, and it is a fact that the vast majority of issues were not in football. I, along with many other alumni, remain highly upset with the Board's handling of the situation. The policies they set at the university were more to blame than any one individual or coach at Baylor.
Anyway, back to Briles -
Remember Briles is 63 years old. He is either going to be at Mount Vernon for a couple of years and jump or he is going to end his career there. Not a lot of 65+ guys taking on a job at a major college considering it normally takes 3 or 4 years to put your system in. It took Briles 3 years to turn Baylor around and that was with RG3 at QB.
Also, to note is the NCAA has not ruled on the Baylor/Briles situation yet. If they believe Briles did anything they can slap him with a show-cause penalty which will keep any NCAA institution from hiring him for a period of time. The NCAA is expected to release their ruling on this at some point this summer.

To me that sounds like poor scheduling in both years. I just don't see how there was no way they couldn't have worked out at least one game in Baytown for non-district for Sterling and Memorial. Lee is more restrained as their bye is in the middle of District play so they have 2 weeks to take what they can get, but both Sterling and Memorial have their bye the 4th week of the season. Seems like they could have worked something out to get 1 of the 3 games in Baytown. This year this effects Sterling more than Memorial as Memorial gets to play Lee as a non-district, but if they keep up this scheduling eventually it will bite Memorial as well. Hopefully, the scheduler can work out a mix of home and away in the future.

This season is the tradeoff the GCCISD schools having all of their non-district games at Stallworth last year.  Most coaches try to balance home and away, but sometimes you have to take what you can get.

Of the 3 Liberty games I have seen this year this was the best. Dominated from start to finish, only 1 fumble, and 1 penalty. Hopefully they can get 1 more win to get another shot at WOS.

Liberty's Alex Brown broke Reggie White's school record for rushing yards in a season. If you are Liberty fan and know anything about their history then that is a pretty big record to break. Reggie White is a legend in Liberty. 

They ran a different style offense because they want to win you dont go out on fridays and play like the other team wants you to play, be smarter than that you gain any edge you can and if its running a different offense then oh well. Adjust to it which Cornell has look to have done... Great Coach

They probably changed offenses to keep the ball away from WOS.  And keep the score low.
Seems like a good plan to me.

I went to this game the other day. I pull for Liberty, but like to sit on the visiting side (better food and typically better seats). Anyway, I sat up next an old coach who was a pleasure to visit with. I never got his name, but his son is a coach on the HJ staff and he coached the 1985 Electra team that won the state title.
In my opinion, HJ won that game due to some great coaching. HJ basically wanted to wear Liberty down and was hoping for a few turnovers. It felt like HJ had the ball the entire game. They got more than a few turnovers and their last couple of possessions Liberty was just too tired to stop them. On the other side, I am unsure what Liberty was thinking on offense. Honestly, they had 0 reason to throw the ball and basically gave it way a few times whether that was through throwing an INT or killing their own drives. I think the Liberty coaches were trying to force the passing game when they didn't need too. That coach and I were wondering why Liberty wouldn't just keep running the trap. Seemed like they got 5 yards all night on it. Needless to say, it was a fantastic game and great display of coaching and determination from HJ. Their kids were ready to play and though they seemed undersized and a bit less athletic they were the better team that night. They had a great plan and executed it to near perfection. Also, if their field goal kicker would have been playing for the Arizona Cardinals or the Seattle Seahawks he would have saved us all some time back on our lives from that Sunday night snooze fest of missed field goals.
Once again, just one man's opinion, but that's how I saw it. I would be interesting in watching these teams play again in the playoffs. I am unsure how the bracket would line up because if WOS is between them playing again that won't happen, but I think it would be another close well fought game.

Maybe the truck and cash made Baylor seem more appeasing to the parents. I cant imagine why someone would legitimately want to go QB the Baylor offense ya know. Definitely something fishy going on there....

I am so glad our boosters had the foresight to buy him that pickup truck and steal him away from Tech! Hope he can pick up the offense as quick as a money transfer!

It helped that Auburn was 6 and dropped after their game and Florida State played USF which was a 10 point game until the middle of the 4th quarter. They don't like to move teams that much in polls unless if something big happened. My Bears looked ugly winning the game, but they still won big. That said I wouldn't have complained if they stuck Florida State or USC over Baylor, they haven't looked good yet. Hopefully Baylor gets it together in the bye week. If they turn the ball over like they did against Lamar then Baylor will lose to the rest of the teams on their schedule minus Kansas maybe. 

Sterling up 27-14 start of 4th quarter

I was just in Vegas a week ago. The local news was sky high on this guy. Saw an interview or 2 with him and seem liked a well put together guy. 

Come on man, I graduated from Sterling too. We both know what he meant, and he wasn't wrong. Sadly I was born in 1985 when the rebuilding started. 

well, this is all a big mess. i feel bad for that girl, her life is all screwed up now
