neveragain Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 As Legacy looks to a new coach for the future, is there a problem with quality players transferring/moving to other schools? Are the private schools in the area draining good players from Legacy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threejs Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 The area private schools keep Legacy from having over 3,000 kids. The area private schools have limited, if not zero, effect on the Legacy football team's w/l record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For parents that are coming in from out of state are use to having their children in private schools 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrumpisDump Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 There are roughly 10 high schools along with private in the area that kids have an opportunity to go to. It's talent all around but they're not mostly concentrated in one area. I heard the rezoning of the schools was a big problem the past couple years too. Tyler has just as much talent as Longview. Here's my thought. 1. Tyler has way more private schools that Longview. 2. Tyler also has more white flight schools than the Longview area. 3. Talent is separated by an estimated of 4 to 5 school districts besides Tyler ISD. Longview has only Pine Tree. 4. Spring Hill and Hallsville is a locked school district. Meaning they only allow kids in their zoning district or you have to have special qualifications to join. (not 100% sure, correct if I'm wrong). It pushes more kids to Longview or Pine Tree. PT is of course the "little brother" to Longview in sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonG Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 You have at least 16 high schools not including JT and Lee that eat off Tyler, TX city limits.

All of East Longview = Hallsville All of West Longview = Pine Tree Northwest Longview = Spring Hill The rest = Longview The southern portion of Longview ISD (Lakeport/Easton areas) is also heavy battle ground area between Tatum and Longview....big talent area both historically and current. All of it is zoned to Longview but some of those kids still make their way to Tatum. So, Longview could actually be stronger than they currently are believe it or not. Tatum's Jayden Boyd for instance was zoned to Longview....but didn't go to Longview. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longview doesn't have to deal with that. and lets be honest...if you take 10 kids that are good in football in Longview, at least 7 will end up at Longview high. but, despite all of this, I still believe the reason Longview is better has more to do with Coach King rather than talent.

Longview doesn't have to deal with that. I know this man lol I never said otherwise. Was replying to the guy that said Longview only had 2 ISD's, which isn't true. We have our own challenges just like anyone else. I will say that I think all of those privates and charters in Tyler more so effect enrollment than it does the football programs. Also, let's not act like Tyler's 4 ISD zones are cut up the same way Longview's are. Go 4 minutes to the East of Longview High, you're in another zone. Go 4 minutes to the West of Longview High, you're in another zone...lol In other words, the 4 ISDs in Longview are well within the city limits....not just the outskirts. 3/4 stretch well within Loop 281. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonG Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 The area Tyler has way more schools than the Longview area. Hallsville is an outskirts school to Longview like Whitehouse, Lindale, Winona, and Bullard is to Tyler. Both cities have their fare share of schools eating off the city limits. Tyler just does it on a larger level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTI Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Except Hallsville ISD actually dips way inside of Loop 281. Way to Alpine Road, which is right down the street from Longview High. Again, they are taking all of East Longview. That ain't outskirts. Lindale ISD barely gets to Swan, Bullard ISD doesn't come past Flint and Winona is the most apples to oranges comparison of them all. Whitehouse and Chapel Hill are the only ISD's that could compare to what Hallsville is doing to Longview. But again, at least Tyler ISD owns everything within their Loop. Longview doesn't.

VonG Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Coming inside the loop or not has nothing to do with having different isd's eating off the city limits. Outside the loop inside the loop is still part of your city limits. Every school I named around Tyler has a plate at Tyler city limits table. Take Lindale and Whitehouse for instance. Both of those cities are smaller than Henderson and Kilgore. Yet and still both Lindale and Whitehouse have a larger school population than Kilgore and Henderson. I wonder why. Oh yeah they feed off Tyler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just showing you how far the ISD's dip inside of Longview city limits. As close to 4-6 mins either side of LHS. Nothing more, nothing less. Tyler ISD serves a much higher percentage of their population compared to Longview ISD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
