I know it's been said many times but I just can't get over how the once and proud mighty LaMarque Cougar football program has fallen so far. I would say they are not even a shell of what they used to be.

Lost last night to my Silsbee Tigers 50-6.

I know there are a lot of factors involved but dang.

It really is sad.

The same La Marque that was just 3A ---couple years ago (2017) that got thumped by EC, lost to Hitchcock and barely squeezed past Hardin?  They fell off a while ago Mr. AAW.

Yes, the district was / is a trainwreck, and people were fleeing like crazy. They have dropped in classification and still haven't recoverd. The team is a joke and the fans are almost non existant. LaMarque has not been Lamarque recently at all.

1990-2006 they were a powerhouse won 5 state titles and played for 3 others. Weren’t the on the verge of getting shut down and having to merge with Texas City?

La Marque ISD was shut down by the TEA (I believe in 2016) and La Marque HS is now a Texas City ISD school.

I was thinking the same thing. When I was in high school LaMarque was #1 in what is now 5A, and as far as I know they stayed a major state force until at least 2011. They aren't even close to what they used to be.

I may be showing my age, but I remember when La Marque was a pretty stout (what is now) 6A school.  Like many areas, the La Marque area has experienced a steady decline in population.  As Soulja noted, last night, they are also facing the problem of having their talent poached by growing schools in the area (e.g, Dickinson).

I will never forget the 2011-2012 run where Beaumont Ozan upset Brenham who had loads of D1 talent plus New Orleans saints d tackle former longhorn 5 star athlete Malcolm brown at d tackle and tight end lol ... ozan would then play LaMarque in the pouring down rain , they beat ozan and we watched from underneath the bleachers through the cracks because the rain was coming down so heavily but my point is LaMarque was LOADED it wasn’t close , and to see them to from that far up to this far down losing badly to 4A schools when they were a “then 5A” powerhouse . (I do believe If that game wouldn’t of been played in the rain Beaumont ozan would’ve won they had a bad A quarterback who would later on start in college in the SWAC I believe but either way things sure have changed !

Never said how recent the fall has been. Just that they have fallen.

I know when the fall started. Just making an observation that they continue to fall.

I'd argue that they aren't continuing to fall.  They fell hard around 16-17 (rock bottom) and are a little better now.   No longer falling.  Especially with Mike Jackson out, they are definitely in a better spot now.

BURKEVILLE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A PROUD PROGRAM THAT HAS FALLEN ON HARD TIMES. I PLAYED AT BURKEVILLE FROM 94-97 AND NEVER LOST A DISTRICT GAME AND NOW BURKEVILLE IS IN THE PLAYOFFS AFTER A 10 YEAR HIATUS. 

Burkeville hasn't been relevant for 20+ years?  It just seems like they were winning rings the other day!   Wow

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
