I know you're probably very smart, because your comments sound very smart, but perhaps the growth in Lumberton is channeling through younger families who have younger children who have not made it to the high school level yet. Because (and I'm sure you know this too) the snapshot numbers are only for high school kids enrolled in the district, not K-8 grades or kids enrolled in private schools. I really shouldn't have brought this up, because, being as smart as you are, you probably already considered this possibility.

There are also not an insignificant amount of Lumberton kids in private schools as well. Not sure how many but I know 2 or 3 families and I don’t know a ton of Lumberton people in general.  I do agree that the growth is probably delayed because the families who move there with young children will let them go to LISD.  The ones who moved when their kids were teenagers weren’t going to make them lose their Beaumont private school classmates.  Next cycle should be interesting.

That's not entirely accurate...the actual reason is cheap land easier financing and marketing that is primarily geared toward the demographic living there

Owner financing land in a master planned community.  No restrictions.  Advertisement all in Spanish.  1 day late and the repo and sell to the next one.  Armed guards outside outside of the office with threats of deportation.  Seems like a place I would want to be

Good points.

With West Brook turning in 2232, they have a real REAL good chance of dropping down to 5A. The cutoff last realignment was 2225. Usually it moves up 15-20 each alignment.

I'm thinking cutoff will be at least 2235 which will make West Brook one of the largest 5A's in the state.

Now, will United follow?

1988-90 (including spring sports) HF, EC, Hardin, Anahuac, PA SFA and Barbers Hill played in the same district. Now, we are staring at a possible United and West Brook alignment with Barbers Hill.  

Time marches on and things change.

Also, if both Beaumont schools drop to 5A, I highly doubt we will cover any 6A district on this site for the next two years.

In that case, what do you think the 5A-1 district would look like? 

WB, BU, PAM, BH, GCM, RSS, Lee...

That's the seven "most east", but usually the UIL tries to avoid odd numbers. Add back LP or Crosby, or something like that?

An even bigger question: what Region would they put us in?

    • No worries. My thing is this. Trump was badly flawed. We knew it going into 2016. As an incumbent, there really wasn’t much of a chance to nominate a different candidate in 2020. But after all that happened during Trump’s term, the election loss and fiasco that followed, and everything else that he’s been a part of since… we should have chosen a different nominee in 2024. That’s been my point all along, but that’s not what we did. His followers are very vocal and infect all levels of the Republican Party leadership-especially in local counties and precincts. Enough people decided that Trump is the only person who should be considered to be the eventual R candidate that he cruised to the nomination in spite of everything, purely based on the cult of personality, IMO.  All of the signs were there. Trump is in a dead heat with Biden and has been all along, while every other potential R candidate enjoyed double digit leads over Biden. Literally all we had to do is pick someone over Trump and they’d cruise to a win over Biden-but we’d rather lose with Trump than win with someone else.    Names like Gary Hart and John Edwards come to mind. Those guys were Dems with a small fraction of Trump’s baggage, but the party still dumped them and moved on… I can’t understand why the Rs have refused to self-police and choose someone with decency… who would also be able to win the popular vote. We (the Rs) should have made DJT an old memory… but force the Ds and independents to do it for us. 
    • Trump literally ran on locking up hillary... ppl seem to 4get that
    • Currently in a monsoon raining badly here in Lufkin game will start late 
    • I read your posts and agree on some things and disagree with some.  I guess my one question is (in your opinion) who should we vote for?  Third party candidates do not get elected.  Kennedy is only going to dilute votes which will benefit Democrats.  Write-in votes do not win elections and I’m not even sure they are counted in a presidential election.  Many people get on and express views and tell us what is wrong with X, but never give the answer for Y.  I am extremely sarcastic and passive-aggressive, but genuinely hope this post doesn’t come across that way.  Trump has my vote until someone persuades me otherwise (and I’m a Never Biden).  Had another R been nominated they would have had my vote.
