Wife's an alumni... I'm not joking when I say they actually built that facility primarily for the BAND and not the football team.  Part of me is that's incredible, other part is WTH are we spending money on.

Isn’t Tito’s vodka going to build us a facility that will replace the bubble?

Anyone heard anything about the school of social work possibly getting moved elsewhere to make room for football facility,  presumably a new indoor?

That's interesting because it's been a hot minute since their band was much more competitive than their football team.  Last time they made State was 2016 and the last time they made Finals at State was 2012.

Yeah, it's all Richardson ISD schools... but coincidentally 2016 was the year the bond passed to build the facilities at each high schools.

Jack Alvarez leaves Cuero after 2 seasons for Marshall.  

Official.  Curious to see what the salary number is.  Rumor is they got him on the second offer.  Told em no the first time around.

Not football but Westlake finally fell short at something. McKinney wins the state semifinal in 2OT in one of the biggest state tourney upsets ever.

Crazy finish to regulation, and to 2OT, but that can’t be one of the biggest state tourney upsets ever. It’s not even McKinney’s biggest upset this postseason.

I don’t know, Westlake was 38-1 and probably would’ve hung with (not beaten) Duncanville. 

I don't keep up with HS basketball anymore,  but the last 3 posts got me curious so I checked out the State HS rankings.  

The metroplex is definitely the hotbed for Texas HS basketball nowadays.  Back in my day the Houston area was in control.  

I know,  a long time ago.  

Yep all DFW final in 6A, and DFW is represented in all finals from 3A up.

McKinney beat Richardson earlier in the playoffs in another thriller, and Richardson was probably better than Westlake. 
 

Richardson was the only team to beat Duncanville this year, and was ranked the #1 team in the state before they lost to McKinney.

Westlake is really good, but plenty of people saw McKinney winning this one, because of what they’ve shown earlier in the playoffs.

 

 

Edit: Also McKinney was a top 10 team too, with one of the best players in the country, it’s not like they came out of nowhere.

Westlake (38-2) took a 54-53 lead with 19 seconds left in regulation on a runner by Donovan Santoro and rebounded a missed shot by McKinney (35-5) with 8 seconds remaining on the clock. A desperate McKinney forced a turnover, but an erroneous Westlake defensive substitution in the final 2 seconds of the game led to a technical foul, a free throw by McKinney’s Ja’Kobe Walter, and the wild double-overtime finish.


The clerical error by Westlake’s coaching staff came down to a jersey mistake. Loch Cunningham wasn’t wearing his usual No. 30 because a washing job had apparently changed the white jersey to an unusable shade of gray, said Westlake coach Robert Lucero. The Westlake coaches didn’t note that change in the official book, and Cunningham entered the game wearing a different number.


The bookkeeper immediately caught the error and informed the refs as a furious Lucero tossed his gum to the side and glared down at the court.

How was that an upset? Mckinney already beat the #1 team in the nation Richardson earlier in the tournament.

Well, if it’s any consolation to them, nobody was beating Duncanville anyway.

Duncanville 4x100 also put up a 40.28 yesterday for the number 1 time in the nation

I didn't buy a Senior ring, I damned sure wouldn't have bought a ring for winning Bi-District.  LMAO and SMDH.

You might have if you were in the Valley and that was your absolute ceiling.

Joke's on you.  We lost 42-7 in Area...

Just not a fan of the rings for otherwise meaningless games.  That goes for the trend in youth league baseball where every weekend tourney gives out rings.   Really?  They're fucking 11.  We have a dude at work whose kid has won more rings this season than fucking Charles Haley.

You misspelled regional semifinals. 

Hopefully this becomes an annual thing. Just with a more original name.

3 Northside ISD schools got knocked out of the playoffs by border schools last year. Either the valley is getting better at football or SA is getting worse. Seems more like the latter but it’s hard to tell. Would still love to see one of the top valley teams up there for a game against an SA school.

Nice story about Garrett Wilson and the draft. (excerpt)

 

No one had a better seat during Wilson's high school career that Cavaliers coach Hank Carter, who sat with Wilson and his parents — Kenneth and Candace Wilson — Thursday night in the shadows of the Las Vegas Strip. Carter's ticket to the show was made possible by an NFL program called "Thank You Coach."

 

Yes, it all started when Wilson was a Lake Travis freshman. He arrived at the spacious school with the idea he would be the next great Lake Travis quarterback. But the Cavaliers already had an established quarterback in Charlie Brewer and Carter was looking for another way to utilize his talent. Wilson was reluctantly switched to wide receiver and the rest is history.

"He has this athleticism and concentration to catch the football," Carter said. "It was something I had never seen before."

Looks like a violation of contract deal.  

Seems like terms of buyout were no head coaching jobs,  even HS.

Wow irs one thing if he leaves in January,  but mid May is crazy late. Almost have to stay inside and promote at least as interim HC at this point. Former Brandeis HC David Branscom is DC, wonder if they bump him up
