Unless they play another La. team that no one in Texas gives a damn about. Never seen so many Center updates in my life 😳 Stephenville is the new Center 

He stopped giving updates on center after they got waxed by Carthage.lol

North DeSoto, La first 3 games in 2024. 👇

North DeSoto is looking to go 3-0 vs Center, TX.

North DeSoto Griffins

W1 Union Parish (3A Louisiana Champions)
W2 @ Center (TX) (4A Texas power)
W3 West Monroe (5A Louisiana power)

North DeSoto, La will travel to Center Roughrider stadium this year.

A nice little stadium that holds right at 4,000.

It's not a Melissa stadium or any of the other Texas high schools named after girls.

They are now magically a 4A power because they are playing some no name La. team we've never heard of till almighty Center known more for a basketball school with one 10 win season in the last 12 years. Not only are they not a 4A power they are not a bEast Texas 4A power truly hilarious.  Stephenville the new Center till they get worked in Texas.  It was Van that smoked them before Carthage beat them by 45 😁. We didn't get updates on Byrd and PG or Texas High vs. Benton 😁

this is hilarious.

1. Carthage

2. Timpson

What was there to update,  bubba?

CE Byrd was 4-7 and ranked #98 here.

Benton was 5-6 and ranked #97 here.

Benton gave up 60 points or more 5 times last year, bubba.

That has to hurt your fragile ego.

Cya, bubba.

Center finished 198th in Texas while North Desoto finished 31st in Louisiana 

And ND needed a miracle to barely beat them. Lol. 
 

That is how you know Red Flag doesn’t feel shame. It’s one of those games you hope no one brings up. Because of how embarrassing it is for Louisiana

Exactly!  Center was the 3rd best team in their district  losing by 20 and 45 pts to Van and Carthage but had a top La. 4A on the ropes on the road.  Per maxpreps.com they are #3  LA Class II Non-Select.  Whatever that is.  Center was 15th in 4ADII. Now imagine the 4ADI  Schools.  They would be ranked in the 30s in 4A that's hilarious and scored more points on that team than everyone.   They would be a La. 4A Power.  🤘 Now thats more attention than anyone from La. Deserve here.  

There seems to be a new post about something Texas daily.  Comparing structures in LA and MS to Texas is like comparing Cuba to America. Dirt poor states vs one of the robust economies in the world.  The Schools are just as impressive here where you see those stadiums.

The $2.4 trillion 3Texas economy is now the eighth-largest economy among the nations of the world, larger than Russia, Canada, Italy and more. Texas is the top state for Fortune 500 headquarters, now at 55. Texas is the 2023 State of the Year for the best-in-nation business climate and job growth.

This is an elementary less than 5 miles from me.  Collin County is home to world class training facilities.  The NCAA DII football championships are played at our stadium in McKinney, THE FCS championships are played in Frisco as is the Cowboys training facility including the Star.  Its a wealthy County.  

Elementary school here in McKinney.  We have very high property taxes.

Dallas ranked best sports business city in the U.S

DALLAS — Dallas ranks No. 1 as the best sports business city in the United States, according to a study conducted by Sports Business Journal.

The study finds that the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including surrounding suburbs and large cities like Arlington and Frisco, continues to spur daily growth in the sports business industry. Adding on the comparatively lower cost of living and world-class venues it has to offer, Dallas takes the cake in this report.

No. 1: Dallas

Score: 100.0

Everyone’s moving to Dallas! Texas is the No. 1 destination for California transplants, and Dallas is a primary destination for many people looking for lower taxes, lower cost of living and a business-friendly regulatory environment. The same holds true for sports:

■ The PGA of America moved its headquarters from Florida and just opened in 2022 the $33.5 million new home as part of its $550 million campus development in nearby Frisco.

■ In 2022, the PBR moved its World Finals to Fort Worth ( Dickies Arena) after three decades in Las Vegas. 

■ The ATP moved the New York Open to Dallas in 2021. 

Several sports companies and sponsors have relocated their headquarters to Dallas in recent years, including: American Athletic Conference (from Providence, R.I.); Active Network (San Diego); AECOM (L.A.); McLaren USA (from New York City); Nolan Partners (L.A.); Oracle (Bay Area); Perfect Game (Cedar Rapids, Iowa); Smoothie King (New Orleans); Sunoco (Philadelphia); Toyota (L.A.); Warstic Bat Co. (Detroit); and Topgolf (Chicago).

Boyd High School opened in September 2006 at costs exceeding $88 million. Boyd's capacity is 3000.  Pretty damn sure Missicreappi can't afford to do this since only La ranks below them in infrastructure  per US News in the U.S.

Got to suck for the real Texans, not Urban cowboy fake Texans. It adds up when you think about it..👇

 

According to a recent study by the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank cofounded by prominent Abbott donor Charles Koch, Texas ranks dead last among the states when it comes to personal freedom. (Probably of some relief to Abbott, Cato rates Texans highly on a few particular freedoms: chiefly economic ones. Dec 1, 2023

I lived in San Diego for 13yrs and La Jolla is a very wealthy area.  Guess who had the best damn HS facilities in Diego.  La Jolla HS did.  S.E. San Diego damn sure didnt have it.   

La Jolla HS aquatics 😁.  Wonder how much it cost? But Cooter from Bugtussle, La. Can't understand  why they just didn't dig a pond 😆

If you don't understand why we spend so much on infrastructure in Texas that's because you live in a poor state and what's extravagant to you is normal to us.  This County is exploding and major companies are moving here.  

You probably can't understand this.  An Acre in Monroe, LA or somewhere in Missicreappi is vastly different.  Even before you lay one freaking Brick. 

How much does land cost in Prosper, TX? Buying land in Prosper, TX costs $597,706 per acre on average based on the listing price of 135 acres of land for sale.

We understand it perfectly.

After watching the Colorado - Colorado State game last night, I had to look into the kid who played QB for CSU. His name is Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi, a redshirt freshman from Aledo. I thought he played really well. He's got a damn good arm.

Any of you remember seeing him play at Aledo?

Jake Bishop was '17-'19. BFN was the backup through the first part of the '20 season but the starter got covid and missed a little bit of time. BFN then took the job and never lost it. Aledo ended up beating Crosby in '20 for state. Then Aledo lost in the 3rd round to eventual champ South Oak Cliff in '21. I think BFN went 21-1 as a starter.

Top 100 Texas HS Football Programs the last 6 years

https://www.texasfootball.com/article/2023/01/24/the-top-100-texas-high-school-football-programs-2023-texas-high-school-football-program-rankings?ref=related_title

Don't agree with Aledo over Carthage.  Same amount of Championships and appearances.  Carthage is 87 - 2 vs. Aledo 85 - 6 the last 6 years.  They need to play each other. 

Today: The Top 100
2023 Rank    School    Class    Record    State Titles    Title Games    10-Win Seasons    Last Year    1-Year ?
1    Aledo    5A    (85-6)    4    5    6    1    —
2    Carthage    4A    (87-2)    4    4    6    2    —
3    Mart    2A    (86-8)    3    5    6    3    —
4    Austin Westlake    6A    (86-5)    3    3    6    5    ↑ 1
5    Gunter    3A    (87-6)    2    4    6    4    ↓ 1
6    Galena Park North Shore    6A    (84-8)    3    4    5    7    ↑ 1
7    Duncanville    6A    (78-7)    1    4    6    14    ↑ 7
8    Refugio    2A    (78-9)    1    3    6    9    ↑ 1
9    Highland Park    6A    (74-7)    2    2    6    6    ↓ 3
10    Strawn    1A    (67-16)    3    3    4    8    ↓ 2

Carthage does not offer anything for Aledo. Someone on the Smoaky site said Carthage should be #1 due to the record also. Here is what I said-

Hell yeah we lost 4 more games than Carthage lol. Look who we lost to. 

2022- Parish Episcopal- TAPPS Division 1 State Champion

2022- Denton Guyer- 6AD2 Semifinalist

2021- South Oak Cliff- 5AD2 State Champion

2020- Cedar Hill- 6AD2 State Finalist 

2019- Denton Guyer- 6AD2 State Finalist

2017- College Station- 5AD2 State Champion

I went to the Aledo vs Guyer game...This is probably the best Aledo team that I have seen.

They need to shore up the pass defense -  They check the boxes everywhere else. 

I didn't realize the QB who is committed to TCU was so damn fast.

The RB is really talented and only soph.

Guyer might be little down - Aledo is much improved from year ago.

 

The '23 team we just had was really talented. Turnovers at the end of the year werent ideal but honestly, they didnt hurt us all things considered. We should be very solid in the trenches this next season. We have Guyer and Lancaster to start things off.

Aledo can schedule those teams in pre district but they won’t. Heck even SLC

Scheduling goes both ways. I would like to see SLC and Aledo play but SLC might not be interested. Who knows. But it does seem like Aledo and Denton Guyer have a decent series going. Not sure if we prepare them for district and the playoffs but they help us.
