Would have been a hell of a match up about 30+ years ago. It's sad looking at how empty those stands are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was talking about this (in Houston of all places lol) with an Old High grad. I get you new buildings, but this move seems dumb to me.

It's not like the schools have to close because of enrollment. Old High has been a school since 1891 and now basically ceases to exist while you now have two new named schools that no one will have an attachment to.

The issue was to avoid conflict in choosing 2 names of the 3 high schools. So they wanted to avoid it all tigger and keep it fair for all.

The one closest to Old High is named Wichita Falls HS, the one closest to the old Rider is Rider HS. Hirschi was opened up a year after and has transitioned into a magnet school, so they're the odd man out. I'd add they likely have fewer local alumni as having had a good number of students from the AFB. Sucks for the alumni of Hirschi, but better that than sucking for every HS graduate in the history of Wichita Falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The afb housing area isn’t large but supports 2 districts not just Wichita falls but burkburnett as well) when I lived on base I sent by oldest to old high then she transferred to burkburnett. It’s a good mix of the base that attends all the schools (although most families live in the local community) but taking the “fuck em” approach was thankfully avoided. New name was fair for everyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New name was fair for everyone Except all the graduates. I’m not affected but spent the weekend with an alum who is pissed along with his whole family, some Rider, some Old High. Wichita Falls, a town with a lot of tradition and history, suddenly has no tradition. At all. Not sure how that’s a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still has family there and likely moving back after his kid graduates this year. He was born there, went to school there and even went to Midwestern. Only moved to Frisco four years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pied Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Think I'll be the only one at Brinkman Field (best grass football field in Texas!) following the Aledo-Guyer/HP-Lewisville/Parish-Bellaire Episcopal/and several others very closely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champa Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Got my eyes on Atascocita/Katy. WFAA will be doing Lancaster/SOC. Steel/Lake Travis should be a good one. Don't know if there's a stream for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
