2019 Marshall Maverick Thread

Recommended Posts

Had a discussion with a few folks yesterday.

We've seen lots of upgrades in the last few years with the football program.  The new locker room is one of the best in the state.  Well done, Mav Nation!

Maverick Stadium has really seen a lot of upgrades in the last 2 years with the new Press Box, the video scoreboard, new stadium lights, new track, new turf..... but there's still more to be done.

1.  Restrooms-  This is a must. Home and visitors. 
2.  Concessions-  See Jacksonville Tomato Bowl!  Great idea! 
3.  Box office and gate upgrades- some wrought iron gates/fences.  Box office upgrades.  
4.  Seat replacement- replace old bleachers.  Stadium seats for sections B, C, D maybe.  Or at least C.
5.  Visitors locker room upgrade at the field house.
6.  Construction of the covered practice facility from the legacy campaign.

This spring/summer will see the replacement of all the seating at Maverick Gym.  This will go with the new locker rooms, new scoreboard, and new flooring at Mav gym, which has truly become a top of the line facility.  New seating will make it fantastic.

Anyhow..... you talk about this stuff when your done with football before Thanksgiving....lol.

BTW...the basketball is already 2-0 or 3-0.  Not sure....and that's not full strength yet.

Soccer, softball/baseball news will be starting soon.

With all the realignment talk on other threads.... something Mav fans may have missed about all this was the fact that the ADM at MHS jumped from 1,407 to 1,468.... one of the largest jumps we've seen in the last decade (or more).

It doesn't change anything as far as alignment..... but it's good to see an increase again.  MJHS apparently has some big classes coming up.... so we could see more bumps in the future.

I don't expect to see us flirt with 5A Div I ever again.... but seeing us break a slow downward trend is nice.  We were actually one of VERY FEW East Texas 5A schools to see a gain at all.  Most saw decreases.  

MHS has spent most of its history in the 1600-ish range..... ultimately it would be great to see us return to that neighborhood.  

It's a small thing...but still good news to see some increase.  Here's to hoping it continues!
