    I would have left Marshall High School when I worked there for Longview.  It was not a great place to work when I was at Marshall.  I hold no sentiment for Marshall ISD.  It sucked to work there. 

    I care about the success at Marshall HS, but I would have no problem or remorse working for a school that kicked their ### on the regular if it was a better work environment.  

    The town, for the most part, sucks outside of ETBU.  The people there are great, but I went to visit Marshall a few months ago to see my mother and sister, and I thought I would see some improvements.  Basically, the only improvements to the town have happened at Marshall High School and East Texas Baptist University.  Every other business looked like a swift 40 MPH wind could take down their building.  I honestly wish my mom would just move.

    ***All the statements above are my personal opinions and feelings about the town itself.  I don't doubt that people have tried to make an improvement to the town, but it doesn't show on the outside.  I understand that this statement may disqualify me from ever working at Marshall ISD in the future, but if it does, that would just be a testament of the current administration trying to defend the actions of a really bad previous administration dating back almost 15 years ago.***

    Hard for the town when the population peaked 60 years ago. Hasn't gone down much since then in terms of raw numbers, but the lack of growth is noticeable in the amount of abandoned structures/houses scattered across town.

    Hands down, one of the worst graphics I've seen this season, no team names, and the font is hard to read. The gold representing the away games doesn't mess well with the dark background making it even harder to read. They took all the worst aspects and put them together.

    obviously the taxpayers of the ISD have no problem remaining open.......it's all up to them....

    If the town lost the school, it seems there would be nothing left, so it makes sense to stay open if the town wants to not become a ghost town.

    The schedule posted by Coach Stanford on Twitter/X shows Midlothian Heritage at location to be determined.   I guess that means neutral site, but it sure would be good to get that one at home.   Otherwise, Tigers have only 4 home games - one in August, one in September, one is October, one in November.    Three game stretch in September to Argyle (well over 400 mile round trip), then Midlothian Heritage (neutral site???), then Fayetteville (close to 500 miles round trip).   

    Being a large, good team on an island makes it pretty difficult, when was the last time Texas High had relatively closer games?

    What is the point of keeping that school open if it has 6 people, are the other schools nearby all over an hour+ away? That would be the only reason that makes sense, and I am going to look at this school on Google maps to see what it looks like.

    I've always said, just take the largest 7 or 8 schools in East Texas and put us in a district. We don't have to worry about DFW or Houston area schools anymore. 

    JT, Longview, Lufkin, Lee, Nacogdoches, T-High, Marshall, and Whitehouse. There you have it. They are in the same district anyway except for football. Lee being the lone exception since they are 6a.

    Longview will be 6A next year.

    Serious question. If you’re the head man at NL or SH, do you leverage the improvements made into a job that isn’t terrible? Best case scenario for both is a 4th seed and a date with Carthage in the 1st round.

    They could always sneak one by into a 3rd seed, as Bullard did with Van last year, didn't impact the seed for Van, but it could in this new district if Pitt/SH/NL pull out a win on them.

    Bellville in front of us and we beat them throw this list away lol 

    Surprised to not even see PG on the list with them beating Gilmer and Brock on the list and being very close with Carthage.

    With further digging, I didn't realize the criteria was for schools with under 1k enrollment AND under 10k population in the town. So the criteria disqualified PG before it even started.

    Metzel has been to 3 state championships in 4 years as head coach.  Knocked out last year by the eventual champion Carthage. More importantly, he has established a culture that permeates through the program. I know everyone likes to complain about the coach, but it’s hard to argue with that kind of success. 

    Then won 3 district championships in the last 4 year, this year was the odd year out without a win, but went on to win state, incredible consistency.
