Horsefly Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 I saw the tench pic of duncanville’s QB that DD posted and saw his growth since last year then ran across James Mitchell’s recent photo shoot and notice the standout DV DT has also filled out a lot since last year. These DV boys have been hitting the weights!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefly Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Bishop dunne is picking up the transfers, and they landed a big one in Alex Orji from Rockwall. @DevilDog @Texasball @Frosty4024 They may not have the Xs and Os, but they have some jimmy and joes https://247sports.com/Player/Alex-Orji-46058487/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tepper hyped guyer on the video. i want to see SOC too, they had an opportunity against aledo last year in the playoffs. Guyer better show up this time. Despite Guyer's health issues...Last year was embarrassing watching that from the Aledo side. Aledo fans were like "Nice stadium but we wasted our time."

Texasball Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 On 6/11/2019 at 10:27 PM, DevilDog said: Interesting what is transpiring in the Permian Basin. Will this be a sign of a resurgent Midland Lee and others? Will the Little SWC rise again? @Horsefly @Texasball @Champa. I found this very interesting and remember back in the 70's when this area was booming the Football was insane before the Big Urban areas exploded. It's now the most dynamic economy in the whole Nation. Texas' most dynamic economy isn't in Dallas, Houston or even Austin To find the most dynamic economy in Texas, you'll need to hop in your truck and head west for about five hours. Among the pump jacks and prairie land you'll pass along the way is Midland, oil capital of the prolific Permian Basin. It isn't only the Lone Star State's top local economy. It's also the nation's best. Midland ranks No. 1 in the Walton Family Foundation's annual examination of cities with the most dynamic economies. The study considers income, job growth, wage growth, short-term and long-term GDP growth, and a measure the foundation calls young firm employment. Midland is thriving on a boom in its shale oil exploration industry, the study found. The Permian Basin holds 16 percent of the nation's oil reserves and much of its natural gas. Three Texas metros ranked in the top 30 overall, out of 379 small, medium and large metros. Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro placed 27th overall, and sixth among metro areas with 1 million or more people. Austin-Round Rock ranked seventh overall and second in large metros. The foundation, led by the children and grandchildren of Walmart founder Sam Walton and his wife, Helen, invests in everything from early childhood education to stimulating local economies. The top 30 metros in the Walton Family Foundation's ranking. (Walton Family Foundation) Ross DeVol, the study’s lead researcher and a Walton foundation fellow, said Texas benefits from low regulations and taxes that contribute to a “very friendly” business regulatory environment, making it an attractive area for startups and corporations alike. Midland, D-FW and Austin also all have a high concentration of technical middle-class jobs that do not require four-year degrees. “Texas’ economy overall is becoming much more technology-based and knowledge-based,” DeVol said. The study said Midland is seeing “exceptional” growth, faster than any metropolitan or micropolitan area in the United States. It’s also more reliant on oil than any other U.S. metro area. In 2018, its labor force grew more than 8%, which DeVol said is “unprecedented.” Many oilfield workers are living in temporary “man-camps” as construction booms to catch up with the growth. Midland Mayor Jerry Morales said keeping up with growth has been a challenge the metro has been "blessed" to have. "For the last two-plus years, we have been aggressively planning and strategizing in every sector of our community, which is seeing tremendous growth," Morales said. Small metros of up to 499,999 people dominated the ranking, claiming four of the five top spots. Midland's population is fewer than 200,000 people, according to the U.S. Census. During a recovery from a recession, however, larger metros tend to thrive more, DeVol said. The study said some Midland officials felt boom-and-bust cycles of the past could return, but new innovations in the oil industry could make it less susceptible. Average annual earnings for oil exploration jobs in Midland were $91,000 in 2017, double the non-energy wage for the area, according to the study. DeVol said high pay in the oil and gas industry means benefits to other industries in the area. The study said the area is working on diversifying its economy, and ranching, agriculture, health care and transportation are already economic pillars. “Higher demand for goods and services and hiring at software and a range of professional, scientific and business services generates more economic activity,” DeVol said. “This multiplier effect is extended to entrepreneurs that decide to start new businesses to fulfill this rise in demand. An extra three to four jobs (per high-paying oil job) can be created in sectors outside of oil and gas.” A need for increased technical services is something that can be seen across metros, DeVol said, as even non-STEM based companies see increased need for engineers and programmers. DeVol said the Dallas area sees many of the factors helping create strong long-term growth. “Dallas is a really unique blend of many different structural factors,” DeVol said. North Texas is home to a mix of industries, including tech, energy, financial services and entrepreneurial businesses. In 2018, the region added more jobs than any other U.S. city. “The diversity reduces the volatility of the business cycle,” he said. “If one sector gets hit hard, Dallas is less susceptible to recessions.” Austin also is seen as an area with potential for long-term growth. It boasts the 11th-highest concentration of high-tech industries in the nation, according to the study. Its job creation is driven by medical research, health care, travel and tourism, recreation, and arts and culture. The University of Texas is credited for being a major talent contributor, and playing a critical role in the entrepreneur community, the study said. "Research universities are increasingly critical to metropolitan performance as their fundamental output — knowledge — is central to an economy driven by innovative endeavors," the study said. Most dynamic Texas economies The Walton Family Foundation ranked 379 metropolitan areas based on factors such as job and wage growth and a new measure called young firm employment.

Lobo fans actually aren't big fans of the independence bowl, there's a reason why Longview won't be doing another BOTB again. In other news, 2 TX D1 QBs are on the move in the big classifications. Both come from winning programs. One is a DFW-DFW move, the other is ETX-Lousiana move. I'd imagine they'll come out public in the coming days.

I won't declare they've made it back until they win a few big games, but Mathis brings a lot of energy and many are expecting them to become elite again.

This maybe the biggest add at Dunne ever! Unfortunately, the Catholic Dioceses has cut Dunne’s budget beyond belief, relieving several teachers including 4 or more position coaches. This will be an up hill battle for Dunne; but what’s new? Year in and year out, “Fly Falcons Fly”! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
