Ok I have been lurking for sometime and am fairly knew to the Winnie area. My job transfers me about every 4 years so my kids know what it is like to have to change schools. But when I got transferred to Port Arthur my wife and I decided that the best school for our kids was East Chambers When you work in the plants or in a town that works near the plants you will have a better choice of athletes than if you are in the middle of the piney woods it is simple economics people move from places without jobs to places with jobs. To think that a high school team has to have the same genepool for 50 years is just insane.
My wife and I both grew up in Big Football towns of the 90's Freer and Refugio respectively and have fallen for this East Chambers Team. First I have met some of these kids and the way you talk about these kids here is disrespectful. That kid you are mad is faster than your team is one of the most respectful and liked kid in the high school. The kid they had at Quarterback last year who broke his ankle against HF was the same. I have seen this QB now grow from a Freshman that fought like hell against Grandview and had them on the ropes in the first half. These kids wont be kids for long and it sounds like some of you need to stop being miserable and enjoy the gift that is Texas Football. Trust me I have been all over and nothing beats 2A-4A Texas football. To say that EC has not played anybody is not fair either. They beat 3 4A schools in a row schools that have enrollment almost 50% higher. Are you a coach? Do you know how hard it is to schedule someone pre-district when you are a good team. They had West Rusk on the schedule who is probably a better team that than anyone in the district but that was cancelled due to a hurricane. A good portion of these kids are also still living in houses that had damage from the horrible flood last two years in Winnie. Be the bigger man and just enjoy this team. This Coach is not like some Coaches that will purposely run up the score. Buna if you are mad stop them from scoring. I mean the second team offence was in half of the game. How is this fair to East Chambers they will have to be prepared to play full games in the playoffs. Do you think the coach in Refugio who had a National stroy written about him takes his players out? Does he go to State year after Year? And I am just a Band Parent
