I don’t think they’ll be able to duck going into District 23 if GCM drops down. What excuse will they have? What other 6A District is there for them? BH against the Pasadena teams? Besides, Barber’s Hill=New Baytown so with GCM out of District 23 it’s only fitting that BH take their place!

They lost one of those 3 out of district games too, to Deer Park in double overtime. See, it’s not just about BH moving up to 6A, it’s about what 6A District they’re going to go into. GCCISD is redrawing attendance zones this Summer to get GCM back down to 5A when UIL redraws Districts in 2026. That means UIL will have to fill that empty spot and BH is only 15 minutes from GCM so they’d be the obvious choice. Oh yeah, did I mention that the 6A District I’m talking about is District 23? The toughest District in the state? #3 North Shore, #5 Atascocita, #20 Summer Creek, #60 CE King, #150 Kingwood, #160 Humble all in that District. #734 Channelview is the only easy win in that District after GCM drops down. If GCM ends up dropping down and BH goes up it means no more playoffs for BH, they’d be permanent 5th-6th place if that happens UNLESS they find a way to REALLY toughen up. Better to do it now before they make the jump.

It won’t be done until BH Coaching/Admin gets it done which they won’t because they’ve grown complacent and believe their own hype. The fact that the 3 nearest programs to them, (REL/RSS/GCM), aren’t nearly on their level lends to this mentality of BH being the best and if they already believe they’re great why push harder and work out in that hot sun when they’re already great? 20-30 years ago, BH was a country-boy team. Hard-nosed, scrappy, and surrounded by other decent programs so BH always had a chip on their shoulder and something to prove so they’d outwork those other big-city programs. Today? BH becomes more and more high-dollar suburb with each Riceland house sold and all the BH Coaches and players hear all day long is how great they are. Well, if that’s all they ever hear, and they coast into playoffs each year due at least in some part to the schedule they play and quality of their opponents, then there’s no chip on their shoulder. They need to get that chip back on their shoulder. BH keeps low-key signaling that they’re 6A ready, like scheduling all 6A opponents in out-of-district this year. They’re never going to be if they don’t do just like other posters on here are saying and toughen up. Can you imagine what would happen in 2026 when UIL redraws districts again if they dropped GCM down and bumped BH up in GCM’s place? It won’t matter how nice “The Indoor” is or how much they pay their Coach. BH enrollments are already close to the 6A cutoff and if they don’t get right they’ll get humbled in 6A

So why, exactly, did BH not go for the field goal at the end of the game? I know they got down to the 2 and then got sacked twice but did they not have any time outs or did Coach Abseck lose track of the clock or something else happen, or what?
