Though given they're in a situation where their kids can choose between PG, Texas, and I think (correct me if I'm wrong), also Hooks and Redwater. So I bet the parents there like their kids having some choice. Yes they can go almost anywhere they want. I live in Red Lick, and I have heard rumors of building a high school, but not sure if or when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Roxton school officials, the school wasn't going to open this fall because of its financial situaion. I think Honey Grove was a possible choice, but county officials want to keep the tax dollars in Lamar County. Also, I wouldn't be shocked if many more rural schools end up facing the same situation as Roxton and are forced to consolidate. Most people are leaving the rural areas, and the population and tax dollars are much less. Some rural districts can get away with it because although they serve the rural areas of the county, the school and parts of the district are located in a larger town so they get part of those tax dollars...ie Chisum, North Lamar, PG, Westwood. Yes I agree the next piece to fall in the small school world is fannindel they will probably end up going to Honey Grove. I believe next year is their last school year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be true but living in the area I was always told that Chisum is the school of academics for Paris but North Lamar was a close 2nd until the financial debacle a few years ago and the mass exodus of good teachers.

Cooper is just as good of a school as Chisum I would like to think we are but i am personally biased. I know that Chisum hangs their hat on is academics because we use to destroy them in every sport. Now its just football we destroy them in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already get anyone that can walk and chew gum to move from QC. All that would do is bump up Atlanta's enrollment numbers. They seem to be enjoying 3A right now.

That's surprising, I honestly figured most kids from Red Lick would choose Texas or PG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather have them as a district opponent and send EF and Waskom back south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACKETLIFE Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Unless I missed it, Lion54 suggestion of ARP and Troup would benefit both. Haven’t seen an response on why it wouldn’t work. But have always wondered why that hasn’t happened. A lot of family connections. Is there some kind of history that everyone doesn’t know about?

As compared to who? Bloomberg ? What’s wrong with Bloomberg ? Lmao. In general Mcloud (the kids I saw at diffrent sporting events) looked like above average kids in the categories mentioned. Bloomberg has some diffrent folks...I had not seen so many tattooed girls playing basketball since I went to school at Rutgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
