If you choose to wait to hold a bond, the price is going to go up regardless. A bond voted on in May 2023 that is $20 million dollars, if you had the exact same projects in a bond in Mat 2028, the cost will be $28 million or whatever. It never goes the other way. No one has a bond that is $25 million and if they wait five years goes down to $18 million.

It's also a doesn't benefit me / I don't have kids in the school, so I'm not going to pay for it mentality

Love the internal candidate candidate in situations like these. We want to go "in another direction" from the current guy in charge, you know, the one who hired this guy for his staff and been a part of what has transpired recently, so we'll totally considering hiring that guy to replace him.

School board wants to go with someone else over superintendent's recommendation. They've been making the playoffs -- three of four years, didn't make it 2020 because of COVID, they had to forfeit their last game that if they won would have made it 4 of 4. The biggest thing has been lack of continuity. Since Lipsey left, the head coach totals have gone: 1 year 2 years 2 years 2 years 2 years 2 years 4 years (Wiggins) And in their history, Lipsey is the only guy to get to a fifth season since Charlie Seesom's first stint from 1970-76. The new coach will be the 20th stint -- two guys came back -- in 46 seasons

I wouldn't say they are specifically known for a single sport. They have pockets of success for a couple years in certain sports but there isn't one that is their main sport.

They did a review of applicants at their regular board meeting last week. Their next meeting isn't until the 17th, so it will take a special meeting to do it before then.

Nowhere yet....school board decided to make a change.

Gunter is a young bunch -- just one senior and they only roll with eight, so foul trouble on the right/wrong people can be an issue. They've got two girls that are pretty good on threes and they have good length. Maybe a year ahead of schedule based on the freshmen and sophs. They are just really solid, which you expect at this point. There's not one glaring weakness in the games I've done. Obviously they'll be underdogs going against defending region champs.

Deiontae Merry is on the second team for Carthage and Fluellan is third-team all-state at the all-purpose spot

If their coaches aren't members, then they aren't eligible. And if the coaches are members, then they didn't nominate them to the THSCA. It's the same thing for girls sports with the Texas Girls Coaches Association all-state teams or basketball with the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches. Some coaches aren't members and therefore their teams aren't eligbile.

This is why: The THSCA Super Elite Teams consists of high school players nominated by current professional members of the Texas High School Coaches Association.

Gonna be tough for the next couple cycles regardless

The main one -- Texas Sports Writers -- comes out week after next, starting on Feb 6 . Voting is going on now

The game was ruled a double forfeit

Overall numbers don't tell the whole story: In 8 seasons at Wolfe City, he had a winning record his last five and was 49-40 overall (5-25 first three seasons, 24-13 last three, 11-1 his last season) He had a 2-8 at Whitewright and then went 0-10 at Bonham, before going 4-6 and 5-5. I'd be more concerned he hasn't been a head coach since 2011

The salt in the press conference was very evident

Based on people who have played there, SMU is not a good host in a variety of areas -- regardless of how good the location might be. I don't think either the new or old Rangers ballpark is a good venue to watch football, but I get it being an experience for kids to have at least once. I wouldn't do it more than every couple of years to cycle through a new crop of players.

It's at Memorial, not Hanby

I will point out, because it isn't being mentioned in a lot of these articles, that the series is mandatory if coaches can't agree on the number of games. If both schools agree to a one-gamer, then it will be a one game. This just eliminates the opportunity for a coin flip to determine the setup. If the coaches can't agree, then it has to be a series.

Howe is the only team to beat Gunter in district since 2013 -- Gunter is 48-1 in district games in that span

Penalty reduced to two years from three.

UIL to hear the appeal of recruiting punishment from the 6-2A DEC on Monday morning

Hasn't been determined yet -- if you go by precedent, within the next month but it depends on how many cases are in the queue
