Just curious on your opinions. Had this discussion at work last week.

[prepballfan]

Is there a team in the area that you feel that makes our coverage area better when they are a successful program? I have had this discussion at work a few times and wondered what your opinions were. I have always felt that the teams below fit into that category excluding my team of course.

#1 West Orange-Stark

#2 Newton Eagles

#3 Dayton Broncos

#4 Nederland Bulldogs

#5 Any Beaumont School

#6 Jasper Bulldogs

#7 North Shore Mustangs

#8 East Chambers Bucs

#9 Silsbee

# 10 Crosby

A couple of others I would consider would be

 BH, Corrigan-Camden, San Augustine, and PAM.

Thanks I thought in the past they were. Much appreciated. Also Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to this site and HS sports in generally. You have been such an integral part of Setxsports.

When Crosby is winning I think that it leads to everyone else getting interested because either A) they like to support the region (PNG, PAM, Beaumont Fans) or  They really hate Crosby (Vidor, BH, Nederland, used to be Dayton.) So i'd be willing to bet that Crosby being good does wonders for the engagement levels of this website at the very least. 

[bullets13]

not sure about making our coverage area better, but when lumberton does well it is good for the site.  not as crazy last year as it was several years past, but lumberton's last good team before this one brought a lot of traffic to the site.

The year they beat La Marque was pleasant. Shutdown the site damn near during that playoff run.

Crosby...nah.  SETX is up on the map when WOS, Newton, PNG, Nederland, and Jasper are winning.

I’m not sure I totally understand. What do you mean when you say “…makes our coverage area better.”?

I'm sure lumberton will be good for a few years to come.  Better get those backup servers ready lol... The TST ain't going away! 

[WOSdrummer99]

We have had a mass exodus of WOS fans here since CT retired. They'll be back once we win a playoff game.

[Vini vidi]

Seems like we don’t get near the small ball talk we did years back on the board. Dayton folks not near as much anymore either and I miss reading that. Would be fun to see more 21-6a talk but humble area is just out of range.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

21-6A would be talked about more if WB and BU put a quality product on the field. 

[Gameday2]

I also am not sure I understand the question. But I think if you look at the fan bases that travel good to away games that is a gage in community interest. PNG is on a different level than most. Silsbee has a good fan base. WOS if they make deep run. Lumberton has begun to travel good. Nederland will pack the house if they are winning. Jasper quick to pick up a crowd. More people interested in a school will result in more forum chatter. When Vidor gets on a win streak and it goes thru the roof.

I think Crosby draws a lot of random engagements to the site when we’re winning but we’re still kind of adopted. For instance, if we somehow beat CE King tomorrow it’s going to be a lot bigger deal to us around beltway and the Houston high school shows than it will be in this coverage area. 

[BHFAN]

I’m also confused by the question. I would think any team doing well is good for the area. Why would one be over another?

[NDNation]

I consider our area to be pretty good at supporting other area teams when they're doing well. During our playoff run last year, they're were fans from many area schools in the stands with us. 

Any team in this area that goes deep, will have this areas support behind them...including Crosby.🤣

You, me and everyone else. Lol. Still no clarification... Maybe it was just a case of someone trying to feel relevant.
