I'm old enough, we only took 1 from each district. I guess it gives the kids the playoff experience but the biggest factor is the dollar - Schools like PNG, Nederland, Lumberton, or Dayton, that carry a large traveling fan base, make a lot of money for their school districts, especially when the season is extended through the semi's of finals - I didn't mean to slight anyone's fan base, I'm just more familiar with these schools because we have faced each other and I've seen their playoff games over the past few years -

I feel 1 team is not enough. To me 2 teams in the playoffs is enough.  This way a team can really feel they've earned something.  I think what you have now is nothing more than a money thing.  But if this is the reason: why not make it more of a joke and let them all go?!

If it bothers you don't respond.

Old topic...

It's one of those that will resurface every year with new posters.... yawn

Yes indeed!  Lol.

not bothered... wait til you're on here for a couple years and you'll notice the trends of how the same threads pop up over and over.

I'll stick to the topic though...

I feel that it waters down the playoffs but every so often you get a 4th place team that make a serious run but IMO they are too few and far between to warrant taking 4 every year. 2 is plenty for me.

If you ask me, the only reason there are 4 teams in the playoffs now, is so that the number 1 seed can get a live game practice in before the real tough games start. Of course that can come back and bite you right in the butt too, just ask the L-Town fans.

Dayton got a whole lot more than a live game practice from Livingston too!!

      Financial advice from kamala harris

      By LumRaiderFan · Posted

      This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up From the article: “As a parent, then as a homeowner, if you have some equity in your home, then you can say to your child, you know, ‘don’t take out the loan,’” she said. “‘I’ll take out some of the equity to help you pay for tuition so that you don’t graduate with extraordinary student loan debt, and so that when you graduate, you can do your dream job.’” Essentially, Harris suggested that parents give their kids a leg up in the world by being the ones to take out a loan instead. Except theirs would have much higher stakes than just needing to be paid back — it could mean losing their home. 🤦‍♂️

      It has been frustrating seeing the lack of coverage from virtually EVERY media outlet.  We (Chester) are in the SE Texas coverage area.  There are no radio broadcast from our area, and Ch 12 is the only one that has even mentioned it.   I know I could have gotten donations to cover a SETX Sports broadcast.  Oh well, water under the bridge - we aren’t as big as Silsbee, WO-S or PN-G.
