  1. Sorry to inform those who think Pitt is sub-par, but imo they are already better than last year, and their last year loses to PG and Gilmer were closer than some May want to remember…
  2. I guess it really does not matter what some schools do to better their facilities, people are always going to have negative reactions and comments. For those questioning WHY? MP is going to turf for their baseball and softball fields, here are some of my thoughts and observations: 1. MP is in East Texas where the weather goes from snow, to rain to hail to 100 degrees ALL IN THE SAME WEEK! Good Luck getting early season games in before district starts, and if the season is like 2021, good luck getting games in during a "monsoon" week if you are on a grass field. 2. MP has ONLY one softball field and one baseball field to practice and play on, therefore the surfaces have no recovery time. I would contend most schools around us only have one field each as well, but playing and practicing on the same field day after day with 3 teams puts a strain on the playing surfaces. 3. Upkeep and maintenance will be less time consuming/costly. Coaches are mostly responsible for the upkeep/maintenance on our grass fields. 4. If you build it, they will come! - This is just a BONUS in my opinion. MP is in a great median location for neutral games. i.e. playoffs, etc. New surfaces mean more availability. (Just ask Marshall about having new facilities.) 5. Good schools with up-to-date facilities in an advantages location means greater availability for industry to move in. Things industry looks at is 1. solid place for growth, 2. easy access (roads, railroads, Interstates) 3. school systems with good facilities. (attractive qualities bring more looks) For all the schools updating their facilities, I applaud you and the foresight to take care of your schools and athletic programs!
  3. MP has replaced all their elementary schools in the past 15 years, renovated their middle school and is renovating and adding on to their High School currently. Stadium is getting new turf and track after graduation, baseball and softball fields are changing over to turf this summer. many things happening at MP. However, look for the numbers at MP to decline over the next 3 years. Harts Bluff, an elementary/Junior High school for years past, just had their first freshmen class this year and will continue to add a class until they are a full Senior High school, 1st graduating class expected spring 2024. The school lies directly outside the northern city limits and will probably take a considerable amount of the rural students. With Harts Bluff, their will be 3 High Schools vying for the students of Titus County. (of course this is my opinion)
  4. Oh it makes a HUGE difference...Lancaster had 5 DI recruits starting and 3 more DI recruits SITTING on the bench when MP played them in the Regionals this year. Whole lot easier to find 8 DI players out of 3500 students(1400-1700 males) then out of 2000 students (800-1000 males), IMO.
  5. Maybe, but how many of those young men play football? Or better yet, how many players does each team have on their Varsity Roster? JV Roster? Freshman Roster? Those are numbers that matter also.
  6. Well for those arguing classification, Pittsburg has had Pine Tree on their schedule since 2016, which Pitt has won every year, and the only reason they were not this last season was the schedule difference because of Covid. What makes sense in scheduling any team is 1. will the team give you good competition, 2. help you prepare for future games from an offensive and defensive perspective, and 3. give you an opportunity to see your players and how they respond to positive and negative things during said game. IMO
  7. Don't always base a team on the size of the school. 5A division, 4A numbers, at least on the football side.
  8. Unfortunate it seems to always be ignorance which causes good things to end. I played in that rivalry in the 80's, ALWAYS a great game, lots of fans, bragging rights 'til the next year. Had great friends on the other side of the ball, combatants during the game, fishing buddies after it was over. Daingerfield/MP was always a great rivalry as well. Not sure why that one stopped except for maybe the difference in classification.
  9. We do for sure, but a lot of the problem, at least for MP is sheer numbers. You have said it many times before, depth always seems to get us (MP) in the end. So many of our students, district wide I would probably think also, do not participate in sports, for whatever reason. Sports are such a vital part to a school, the kids and their community; they give the people a common goal to rally behind.
  10. Mind you, 2 years ago MP girls and boys both played at the Regional tournament. Jacksonville was also there for the boys.
  11. I agree. Also, what I see is schools can be classified as 5A and be playing with 3A-4A numbers, especially on the girls side. Example being Mount Pleasant. Many of the girls who play soccer also play other sports. Difficult for girls to work on a particular sport year around when they are playing different sports in different seasons.
  12. Is there any information on locations, dates and times for our local playoff teams? MP Lady Tigers vs Highland Park Greenville Stadium @6:30 pm Tuesday March 30
  13. With MP's win over Marshall, Longview's win over Pine Tree and Hallsville's win over Sulphur Springs: Longview stays 1st Hallsville stays 2nd MP moves into 3rd (tied with Pine Tree point wise at 18, however MP holds the tie breaker of goal differential) Pine Tree is 4th Sulphur Springs is out
