Chavis McCollister from Tenaha.

Josh Allen is a good example.

OL particularly receive offers based upon “size” and nothing else.

Has happened both ways. Many people would rate Chavis McCollister among the greatest high school players of all time. Yet, he received little to no college interest.

Ok, I will do that.

Thanks for the illuminating response. I have just had an epiphany. From this point forward I will no longer utilize the word “pathetic”. I will now utilize: “completely incompetent on a football field”.

Cry me a river. No kids are named and no one is hurt.

What colleges do is not relevant to high school performance. I could give you a list of players holding D1 offers that are borderline pathetic.

It will not matter what Newton lost up front. WV will be non-competitive.

Hardin will beat the brakes off WV. WV is about to be a dumpster fire. Fortunately, outside of Newton and Hardin, the district is utterly pathetic.

So, it takes "talent" to win? and "special talent" to win big?

I imagine Crumedy is perfectly happy at the moment.

To the dismay of WOS little league coaches and fans.

He did. Jasper situation is no secret. Sometimes coaches take jobs based upon future projections and not what is immediately possible.

Who said anything about coaching ability? Pretty certain the post was regarding “talent level”. He may very well have “several programs in the playoffs” in the future. 2026 football will not be one of them.

He wasn’t “impressed with the talent” for good reason. The 2027 class is horrible beyond all belief. He will need to weather the storm this coming year and try to get the foundation in place to build from in the future.

I imagine the AD got rid of him. Probably bringing in his people. Fairly normal.

Not from WV.

And yet here you are, unsolicited and fully engaged in the discussion. What does that say about you?

Thank you for the compliment. It means a lot to me. I take great pride in being the smartest contributor to this forum.

I am expecting him to concede very soon. Will be hard to continue with the recent trend.

Median household income in Texas is currently at $79k. You can draw no conclusions without a total number of districts in each income bracket. If there are 30 in one range and 50 in another range then you would expect to see more from the range with 50. A “numbers guy” should understand this beforehand. Also, does “every single one” mean: “not nearly all of them”? Exceeding poorly thought out comment. Grapevine, Katy Taylor, Flower Mound, Kingwood, VR Eaton, Northwest, on and on as far as you want to go.

Understood that you are a "numbers guy". You believe that a combined household income of $60k (two parent making 30k each) is significantly different than $50k (two parents making $25k each) and offers an athletic advantage. Also being a "numbers guy", you should know that no statistical conclusion can be made without simultaneously showing the numbers for all districts in Texas that did not make it to the semi-finals or without identifying how many districts are within each threshold. Example: What is the number of schools in Texas below $50k median income in Texas vs those $50-60k, above $60k. Or, "how many schools in Texas are above/below whatever range you choose to consider".

So, what exactly have you shown? That “Onalaska has everything economically needed to be competitive”? Or that “median income is not a determining factor for success”?

Not sure where I said “household income doesn’t contribute to money pumped into programs”. What I did say is: there are “many” programs “with money” that are in poor socioeconomic areas. The greatest influx of $$ comes from local industry. I also said: “for every successful affluent area there is another one that is unsuccessful”. The unsuccessful affluent programs are not an “exception” and the successful non-affluent areas are not an exception either.
