If so that might make more sense for HJ, depending on where Silsbee and some fraudulent 4A houston schools line up. Expand Nope. I spoke to a UIL official a couple of years ago at state basketball tourney. That is not happening. bullets13 1 Quote
Gameday2 Posted November 8, 2023 Report Posted November 8, 2023 I can see HJ and Liberty exploring opting up to play on div 1 football because they have not been able to compete in their current district for some time. Not sure if opting up will help them but can’t blame the school, moral has to be low when it comes to their football programs. Quote

They may get there first win against lumberton next year Quote

Mr. Thornton Melon Posted November 9, 2023 Report Posted November 9, 2023 So instead of getting a good coach you opt up. Still gonna suck if you keep the same coach. GEEZ I would of like to have been a fly on the wall when the conversation began about opting up. I bet some interesting things were said, all this district needs is more weak competition to prepare them for the playoffs Quote
Lumbertonraider17 Posted November 9, 2023 Author Report Posted November 9, 2023 usually you opt up because it helps to save money and etc and it makes sense you don’t opt up because you can’t compete Quote
thaferrett Posted November 9, 2023 Report Posted November 9, 2023 People won't like thier reason but its actually a good move. Kids these will jump ship if you lose in football and morale in the community goes down. Just look at WB. 20 kids transferred out in Aug last yr b/c of the losing. KF89 1 Quote

Mr. Thornton Melon Posted November 9, 2023 Report Posted November 9, 2023 Looks like lawn chairs will be needed because these stadiums are going to fill up fast. Liberty's visitor side is half the size of their home side which is shown in first photo. HJs visitor side will maybe hold a band and drill team and fans will need to bring chairs unless they've upgraded facilities. Those 5 porta potties by the stands are gonna fill up with poo rather quickly. They will get more concession sales, which may be their goal 🤣 Quote

Marshall and Vin. middle school isn't losing enough to push them up in the top 4. IMO Quote

Lumbertonraider17 Posted November 9, 2023 Author Report Posted November 9, 2023 just seems it’s the easy way out, if it was to save money and budgeting purposes then I’m for it but to try and win more then I’m against because Hj has won in this district before with other head coaches Quote
