You are Incorrect, according to WOSdrummer99

WOS turned in 635 last alignment. If this was the same as last year WOS would have to lose 90 kids and I do not believe they will lose that many numbers this alignment or next alignment either. Last alignment was 545-879.   
I think it goes by average attendance for high school.

It actually goes by a "Snapshot" attendance. The attendance for a specific day. Hence, well you know, Snapshot Day.

For instance, let's say you're LCM and you're going to go down to the district with Silsbee, HF, WOS and Jasper... OR you could opt up and play against Lumberton, Huffman, Splendora, Livingston... I know what I would do.

I was talking about Newton

Schools should not have the option of what class they are in unless you are a 6 man school wanting to play 11 man football

Some do it because of budget concerns and time missed from school.  It can be a real problem in sparsely populated areas for in school week travel. 

All sports and Jr High even has to be considered for smaller classification scholls.

why would they want to opp up?

We are at the bottom of our bracket now. If the bio refr. Kicks off we would probably gain more students. If we go 2A I think it would be hard to get good 3A  and 4A teams to schedule us. WOS has already told us they will not schedule us   
next year.

My opinion: Playing "bigger" schools in the preseason doesn't really prepare you for anything.. if you play every district game after and even the first couple/few playoff games as a blowout win.  What was accomplished? After winning 8 games in a row by 60 points I mean.. The preseason "preparation" is wiped away at that point.

You need to look at Newton’s results, they speak for themselves. We have no chose to who we play in district. Barbay said he did not want to schedule a team   
unless he thought they had a chance to beat us. He said playing a real bad team serves only to get one of your kids hurt. That is why we have played Silsbee, Gilmer, WOS, Carthage, Jasper, etc.. It prepares us for the playoffs.

I'm not sure you're understanding what I'm saying.  I'm saying that by the time they're deep into the playoffs, it's been several weeks/months since they've had a "preparation game". You have no idea whether or not the season would have turned out exactly the same or not by playing different schools in the preseason. When you win by 50/60/70 points for 6 weeks in a row.. then keep doing so until round 3, does it really make a difference that you had a close game in week 2?  I don't think it does.. the starters haven't played more than 2 quarters since then. If anything, they've forgotten what it's like to have to play a whole game.  There's no way that you can convince me that 2 weeks of "prep games" has an effect but 10 weeks of blowouts doesn't.

Wanna play bigger schools preseason?  Fine.. go ahead.  I'm just saying that it doesn't make as much difference as people think.  Newton would've won those state titles no matter if they played WOS before district or not.

And.. can't be mad at WOS for not wanting to play a school multiple classifications lower... in football.  That's a no-win situation for them.

It works for us.

    • Not yet, anyway. If you can't see that there has been a strong effort to create gender dysphoria amongst young folks AND try to keep it from parents in many instances, you're not paying attention. You may not care about this, but it's ridiculous to ridicule those that do. There is an agenda behind this, no doubt about it, like bullets pointed out earlier, it's just a name change...for now.

    • I’ve stated over and over that I don’t think that the hush money trial has merit. I also don’t think that the fraud/appraisals case in NYC had merit, either. I think that the evidence in the Election Tampering case down in Georgia is pretty damning, and the case about mishandling documents down in Florida is a real problem for Trump… because that’s what intelligent people do-look at the facts make sound decisions not based on their pwecious feewings.  You know, just saying “Bah! It’s all a bunch of lies because I love him!” Or “of course he did it! I hate him.” But thought processes are something most people are incapable of. They only manage to scroll social media for posts that validate their own opinions and them off as truth or fact when they are just outright lies… but they make the re-poster feel good inside so he believes them without question.    Every time I soundly refute the  idea that trump was good for the economy, y’all yell “but COVID!” His tax cuts provided a short term bubble in the economy by way of an exploding deficit and debt that our grandkids will still be paying interest upon 50 years from now even prior to COVID.  It’s like when Mama takes over the family finances, maxes out all of the credit cards and drives the family into bankruptcy.  Y’all would be the spoiled brat, immature and stupid children that spout off “things were so much better when Mom was handling the finances! We had everything we wanted! Put her back in charge!” Anybody that says “Trump was good for the economy” is just letting they world known that they don’t understand micro/macro economics or the effects of rising interest rates have on a debt the size of ours.    What none of you seem to realize is that the problems were facing today (interest rates and inflation) would be occurring even if Trump were in office because his fiscal policies are more flawed than either conservatives or liberals.    Libs: we should raise taxes on the rich and spend more! Conservatives: We should cut taxes on everybody but cut spending!   Trump: We’re gonna cut taxes and spend more!    It’s a recipe for pure disaster. He’s literally the guy who says “we’re gonna buy high, sell low, and make it up in volume!”    
    • The problem our buddy @CardinalBacker has is that the Dems have been cheating Trump since before his inauguration.  There's 4 cheats going on right now against a private citizen.  But yet he wants us to believe that the 2020 election was squeaky clean.  No cheating what so ever.  That a brain dead individual got 81 million votes.  But the other guy that was supposed to be so bad got 74 million, the most any President ever got for reelection.  Evil people don't turn on and off their evil cheating ways.
