How do the Aggie faithful put up with getting dooped over and over? I don't care who is covering the ongoing pay to Jimbo, just the thought of an institution of "higher learning" exhibiting such idiocy is so nauseating, I don't know how they can put up with it?

Thanks for sharing. Glad to see that Aggie education is paying off. It's a play on pooped (dooped).

Lorena's strength of schedule looks so much better than Woodville, I think they're likely a heavier favorite than some may think. Only two losses to two quality opponents that are regular contenders in 4AD1, China Spring and La Vega. The did decent with China Spring and played La Vega to the wire. Also with wins over Franklin and Little River looks very good for them. I'm saying Lorena by 21.

I think better funding would help...many of the issues in public schools are societal issues, but that doesn't mean public schools in our state should be underfunded
Definitely not a funding issue. If I were a betting man I'd wager my right leg that we spend more dollars (inflation adjusted) per student now than we ever have, yet the results are on a downward spiral in too many schools. We've chose to focus on too many things that used to be taken care of by parents in the home and we've also chosen to build extravagant facilities in many districts. IMHO, anything funded by tax dollars should be adequate to meet basic needs. I know this is old school, but old school wasn't 30+ trillion in debt. While that's national debt, it creeps down to every level and many of our districts are in pretty deep debt too.

Rain shouldn’t be a factor this Friday
Diboll scoring 27 pts per game while giving up 11 points per game
LRA scoring 43 pts per game while giving up 30
Common opponents: Franklin
Diboll lost 28-13
LRA lost 49-28
Diboll’s 2 losses were to Franklin & MadisonvilleLRA’s 2 losses were to Franklin & Lorena
Looking at these numbers, I give the edge to LRA. I think LRA has played a much tougher schedule that has them better tested and prepared.

Sorry that games still bothers me. The three dropped passes with no defender in five yards of Dixon or Williams and the fact LH ran for 500 yards on the Dawgs.
That game gets to me worse than the El Campo loss did.Like I just said to bossman, I know Carthage is a superior program and LH was more than fortunate to get that win. All respect to the Dawgs. My annual pokes on Smokey are just for fun. While LH is more competitive than most thought they'd be in 5A with the Slot-T, they could be in for some lean years ahead with a second HS opening next year. Never know how that will impact...

I honestly didn't think about LH until you mentioned them bc they are never brought up as the Big Bother that people want to see the Dawgs play and hopefully lose to. I would gladly accept those 2 loses again if it resulted in 9 rings scattered around them. I respect LH especially after learning of the coaches illness and what they were dealing with during the week of that last matchup.
In a rare moment of total transparency, I know Carthage is a far superior program to my humble Liberty Hill Panthers. We were very fortunate to even be in the 2018 game, much less have enough luck to win. Yes, the stars had to align for LH to get that win. They'll likely never play again with the LH area growing, opening a new high school next year with both being 5A forevermore.
Also, I'm a Texas High Alum, so I enjoy seeing your coach win all that he can.

I'd start with 15k per student that would put us I believe in the top 15 in the country and put us more in line w/the national average
That's a 20% increase. Does this mean our property taxes go up 20%? I don't know enough about the system to have an answer to that, but the money has to come from somewhere and my taxes are already too high.

This dude lives off those two losses. If I recall that LH team that beat Carthage by 3 points lost to Waco La Vega, so they got the same ring that year as Carthage did....as in, not one.
It's all I've got JBizzle. Let me enjoy it. Ring or no ring doesn't matter, 2-0 matters, especially when not given a snowball's chance.

3 points is your idea of getting the brakes beat off. I don’t remember seeing Liberty Hill any any of the state championship games Carthage was in.
They were in 10 and won 9 how many was Liberty Hill in. Oh I remember they were 2 and 1. Enough said.Come on 'cowboy,' lighten up and have a little fun. Still, we both know the head-to-head is what matters. the thread is about preseason matchups and this one was glaringly missing from the long list given by bossman. Dawgs have had enough of the Panthers.

Carthage vs D. Cowboys (@ the Star scrimmage)
Carthage vs GP North Shore (scrimmage)
Carthage vs Tx Longhorns
Carthage vs A&M
Carthage vs Alabama
Carthage vs Duncanville
Carthage vs Longview
Dawgs go 3-2 and the haters go wild when the Dawgs lose2 in a row
All joking aside
Dawgs vs Henderson (just bc it’s fun watching them beating the brakes off of the cowards of Rusk County)
Dawgs vs Kilgore (always competitive)
Dawgs vs Marshall (why not)
Dawgs vs Tx High (Thanking them for Surratt)
Dawgs vs Lindale ( To prove DI is not superior to DII as someone seems to think)
Dawgs vs Argyle, La Vega or China Spring
The one matchup that is glaringly missing... Dawgs vs Liberty Hill. (just bc it's no fun watching them get the brakes beat off them by a one dimensional team)

I went to see Refugio play at Lago Vista (LV) when Lago was 2A. At the time that was the worst 2A stands I'd ever seen and I've been to some games in Arkansas, so really not good. LV has since moved up to 4A but you can still see their old stadium and stands on Google Earth. Looks like they're using for Middle School and may have made some improvements.

Definitely the streaming has hurt a lot. After a long week at work, it's hard to get motivated to head out the door for a 1st round game that may not be too competitive when I can sit in my recliner and watch, restroom only steps away, snacks are cheap, bottomless drinks, shorts, no shoes, no annoying dad sitting next to me yelling at refs every other play, etc. Too many benefits to watching from home.
Gotta be a lot thinking just like this when I can pull up a 2A game and have 1,500 people watching, some of these with multiple persons watching from the same location. Likely at least a third to half those people would go to the game if it weren't streaming and that's a good part of the crowd for a 2A game.

I had to stop at an establishment in Holland a few days ago... overheard a conversation between a few of what I believe were coaches saying once the Hornets take care of Shiner, Mason, and Refugio they are going to give Timpson a real good whoopin'. Couldn't bring myself to say anything to them, just let them enjoy their day.

I like the top two in the playoffs. This is decided by what the district provides. There are agreed upon tie breaker rules in place to handle ties. That would drop the post season to 5 games. As it stands at 6 games is driven by revenue potential for all involved. The more games the more wear and tear on the players bodies or in the worse case serious injury. I love football and love to watch as many games as I can. Watering down the playoffs is just not a good answer. Sorry About being old school but I don’t believe in 4 teams in bi dist. from each district. Unnecessary risk of injury to teams that earned their right to the playoffs during Dist. Play. My forever last comment which will not be popular. A trophy for almost all. LOL
One more game isn't putting that much wear and tear on a 16-17 year old body. I think they can handle the wear and tear of 1 game and this is only the case for half the schools. The other half are sitting at home week 2. Any school that thinks it's too much on their kids can simply opt out. Being the 4th place team doesn't mean you have to show up. We've seen this more than once.

Hopefully it’s not the two guys that KGAS normally has covering Beckville games. Listening to them makes me need a full jug of Doomer’s finest.
Sounds like the two guys from Refugio Sports Network. Best just to put it on mute.

Schools are not fully funded. Abbott literally says this when he keeps saying he’ll fully fund public schools IF vouchers pass.
You might want to look at how stadiums are funded. (I’ll fill you in, they are voted on by the tax payers through bonds.)
If they're not fully funded, how much do you think is enough per student to be fully funded? Is $12,500 not enough? Give a number.

Yes, Ernest Campbell has won the state 100 the last 3 years. Has a chance to win 4 straight in the 100. Clocked the best time at state last year in all divisions with a 10.22. That is pretty fast.
Right, it was Campbell from Refugio, not Bremond. It's around the 5:00 minute mark.

Because they consistently disappoint. They can't put it all together.

Tell Governor Hot Wheels to fully fund education.Texas schools are fully funded. We spend more than $12,500 per student according to TSTA. That's a ridiculous amount for what they're providing. It takes a lot to build some of the Taj Mahal buildings I've been in. There's no lack of money, it's what they're choosing to spend it on that is the issue.

Yeah, but would they give any of it back to those paying the ridiculous property taxes to the school district.
