Pack007 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 It was a mistake from what I could see. They didn't know that they had to include the Stubblefield kids, which we shouldn't since several aren't even from Lufkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I could see how it could honestly be a clerical mistake.... but....... I could also see how it could be intentional if you had a coach/AD/Administrator that felt 5A was a better option for LISD. Whoever that 5th place team has been in every sport could have a beef with it.... since they basically missed out because LP made it. Can't be undone. Highland Park rule is now null and void. New 6A cutoff is Lufkin enrollment +48 hehehe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboFan07 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Someone was tweeting that there was a 40 student difference at the actual high school. Either way, I know we've had to include LEAD so not sure why Lufkin wouldn't include their alternates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack007 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Isn't it part of UIL guidelines? District policy?? Not sure. Stubblefield is different than other alternative schools, not sure what goes on at Lead in Longview, but several school districts have kids there and several of the students don't even live in Lufkin that attend that school. It seems from reading the article that they didn't have to include those numbers in the past, so I'm just guessing they made a mistake this time. I could be wrong. I just hope they don't take the title away from those kids, because of that mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOLEE Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Honest Mistake. I hope the UIL and others don't make a big deal out of this, But... were talking the UIL here. Lufkin has had clean hands forever. They sure didn't do anything for an advantage of any kind.. Let it go. Lesson Learned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sackem Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 The water is under the Bridge, games have played, and teams have advanced or not advanced. If there is not a penalty on the future then there is no deterrent. TURN IN THE WRONG NUMBERS AND WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP OR GAMES YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE WON ANYWAY so you are declared loser in that game. what have you lost but a good name some thought you made an honest mistake. so you didn't lose that with them.. Can not take away scholarships or draft choices So play one year for each year not being able to advance win or lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBuddyGarrity Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 UIL might can pose a probation for 2 years they dont qualify for the playoffs in all sports. Never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillonpanthers Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Probably wasn't intentional, but not a good look for Lufkin. Bet the bottom teams from their old 5A district are pretty hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujoforlife Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 UIL might can pose a probation for 2 years they dont qualify for the playoffs in all sports. Never know. If they do that most kids want play because it wouldn't matter if they win or lose. They still will be at home vome playoff time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBTS Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 If they do that most kids want play because it wouldn't matter if they win or lose. They still will be at home vome playoff time. So winning and advancing towards a championship is the only reason for being on a team? Maybe if you are an elite AAU type player...you only play HS ball for the winning. But most grunt type players play for the love of sport, the sense of belonging, and because without it...school would sorta blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't know that they had to include the Stubblefield kids, which we shouldn't since several aren't even from Lufkin. Uh...Im not sure this is true. According to the link above: Haglund said nobody at the district has been able to figure out how the district came up with the 2,088 figure. According to the TEA report, of the 2,136 students enrolled at LHS on snapshot day, 67 attended Stubblefield. Subtracting the Stubblefield figure from the LHS figure falls below the 2,088 turned into UIL. If you subtract 67 from 2136, you get 2069. So.....why would they turn in 2,088. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grainraiser Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I wonder who had enough inside knowledge to turn them in. Being that the person also had info on three other schools makes one wonder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
