Feel sorry for the few kids who care for them. Eastside shut down their varsity program in 2021 for a year. I think they were back for 2022-24 but they played in an all-Austin ISD league. They got crushed by other AISD schools for two years. They are now in 4A with some Austin and some non-Austin schools, and they are probably going to be crushed for two more years by smaller schools. Eastside is only slightly smaller than Austin LBJ, but LBJ has a focus on football. LASA has some decent sports, but football isn't one of them. They went to state for the first time last year in tennis. They may do well in non-contact sports like tennis, diving, maybe cross country. They have the worst high school building in AISD, the second lowest percentage of poor kids, and tons of homework, so any kids that want to play sports need something that is more individual. The parents have the resources to pay for coaching. They don't have team training facilities or decent fields like you would find at Westlake, LT, or really any school west of AISD. Or north of AISD. Or south or east. Eastside has a cool stadium that hopefully AISD will renovate as part of the 2022 bond. It's a historic on-campus stadium and it was the only stadium for Black students in Austin during segregation. Most of the seating is on one side, but that side is a nice hillside with downtown views. Lots of potential for fun Friday night lights at a smaller school.

Suiting up less than 20 or so players in 5A football definitely wasn't ideal for anyone.

Move them to the district in middle school? lol Yeah but it’s harder to track at that level, and I don’t even know if that’s against the rules. Also “90%” was really 78%. 18 out of 80 players being high school transfers seems like a significant amount to me, but realistically most large high school football teams probably have similar numbers Quote The district tracked every varsity player from the seventh grade on and, according to their report, determined 60 of the 80 athletes on the roster came from Galena Park ISD feeder schools. Another 15 enrolled at North Shore as freshmen or sophomores. Two were previously at the district feeder schools before moving away and returning, and only three came from other schools as upperclassmen. With those numbers in hand, the district concluded Cameron’s action were isolated incidents and that none of the players currently in the program had been recruited to enroll at North Shore.

March 10, 20241 yr Damn, North Shore senior linebacker Jarvon Coles was killed last night in a drive by shooting. He had the game clinching INT against Westlake in the semifinals.
March 10, 20241 yr Was apparently at a house party, when another group of teens that had been kicked out fired indiscriminately at the house from a block away before fleeing in a car. What the fuck is wrong with people. https://abc13.com/teen-fatally-shot-humble-shooting-fieldwick-lane-airbnb-party/14510602/?ex_cid=TA_KTRK_FB&utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook#ltlsfceb9e8cvfx87ib

It usually attracts the best sort of people. Got kicked out of the party so they fired shots into the house. That's a pretty normal reaction.

I don’t know if North Shore was the right move though as they aren’t really ones to sling it around a ton.

March 23, 20241 yr Pilot Point might have found their new HC. He’s got a 3A state title on his resume, but should have at least one more from that same time period.
March 24, 20241 yr The national 4×100 record set by FW Wyatt 26 years went down this weekend by 2 teams in the same race. Duncanville (ft D Moore) went 39.65 and Atascocita ran a completely absurd 38.92. Jelani Watkins is the fastest high schooler Ive ever seen Edited March 24, 20241 yr by cmontexas

Perfect conditions and a perfectly executed race. Texas (Houston in particular) has some serious speed.

Shoot some hs twitter page said Duncanville was traveling to Alaska to play a school for week 1. Half of Twitter thought it was true. Pretty funny tho
April 8, 20241 yr I really like the new district for Lampasas. I think they win that district and the region. Jett Walker will have a really big year running and Ty Johnson is looking at having his coming out party as a sophomore. He’s a rare talent for the Badgers that is going to wind up setting every receiving record Lampasas has.

April 9, 20241 yr Charlie Reeve named the new head coach at Calallen HS. He led Victoria East to an 8-4 record last year and a 42-7 playoff loss to PSJA North that was way closer than the scoreboard indicated. Solid hire. Edited April 9, 20241 yr by Helobious
April 9, 20241 yr That's a damn good hire. Whoever starts at QB will break all of the school passing records by halftime of the 4th game.
April 9, 20241 yr Duncanville having an all time season for a high school athletically. Even their soccer team has made the state tournament.

As a Calallen taxpayer/booster/ parent of former athletes, I like the hire.
