The crazy thing is the way they do the count..meaing that it's the numbers as they are right now (9-12).  Why in the world would this year's seniors have anything to do with UIL competition NEXT year

It won't be any different than what the program is already used to.  Currently, we are the 5th smallest 5A in the state.  it doesn't do any good to belly-ache about it.  If it happens again, we just d

Eventually people will realize this and quit saying that they chose to be in 5A

I will be interested to hear what numbers Livingston turns in.

As am I.  But it looks like I will have to wait 10 business days to find out.  I have just been instructed to get their snapshot number, I will have to submit a Freedom of Information request.

Any idea of where they will land?

Well, there is no way of telling with the UIL.  But given the predictions that he has seen, not only Matt Stepp's but Carl Padilla's, he and I agreed that Lumberton will probably be one of, if not the, smallest school in 5A when the realignment comes out.  He even made a request to change the mascot from the "Raiders" to the "Unluckies."

HAHA you ain't lying. That would be a tough break for those guys. Should have talked some parents into "un-enrolling" for a week vacation.

Still having faith that we can drop down. Sure would be a lot more fun for us little guys lol

Well, it wasn't like Coach Babin predicted gloom and doom.  He noted that in the 3 years that he has been there, the Raiders have almost as many wins as they did in the 6 years before that.  Just because he thinks they will be the small fish doesn't mean he believes they will be easy prey.

Regardless of where we end up next year, what he’s done with the program in just 3 years has been pretty good considering the lack of talent and numbers that we have.

Oh I know. I don't doubt our coaches at all. The coaching staff we have is rock solid.

WOS has made a living as a smaller school

      Not many schools, if any in our area, have fall baseball teams. Kids play for teams outside of school during the fall if they want to.

      I don't completely disagree. Individual drills, running, lifting, etc. I agree are perfectly fine. This incident involved a padded practice where a kid was injured. I just think it would be best for an AD to have the Varsity athletes currently participating in another sport just sit out. It's an activity with a much higher risk of injury. We don't see basketball kids practicing/playing while football season is going on do we? No, because no AD would allow that. Let's have the same common courtesy for the other sports too.

      Too many people haven’t heard “Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog” by Johnnie Cash.  Way too many flakey people in this world. Was she fighting dogs to death across state lines? Lots of the people who would condemn Noem  had absolutely no problem with Vick. I guess politics is a whole nother animal.

      I have some friends whose “fur baby” bit somebody in the face because “she wasn’t feeling good and he was “in her face.”” The young man needed three stitches on his chin. She still growls and snaps at people all of the time… she’s a cocker spaniel with a bad attitude and she bites.    Those same friends are expediting their first actual skin baby this summer… they’re not worried at all, and I’m certain that they’ll be shocked when the dog maims their baby.     God gave us dominion over the animals for instances like this.

      No argument in your rationale however politics isn’t rational. Said people vote. Those votes don’t have to be approved by a jury deciding if a voter has a valid reason for his beliefs. There are things that I firmly believe but I would never say them, even in private (what is private anymore?) if I ever intended to run for office. It doesn’t matter if my private thoughts could be proven 100% as correct, it still might very likely lose voters and an election.  Maybe you missed the Trump presidency……
