It sounds like you’re just being a little petty of Texas’ success against other public schools in sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody whines more than Texans about private schools who leverage their advantages to great success. But when Texas publics carve out *huge* numerical and resource advantages and leverage them to great success they wonder what the fuss is about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, we just talked about their advantages against other states publics and now you used the last 15 years against other publics that use the same crap as Carroll. Two campuses. These schools can't house all the students, and don't want to become Stony Point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurricaneNick Posted January 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 We’re 11 pages deep and all I’ve gathered is that Allen’s 6K+ student population and $60 Million+ stadium don’t have the athletes or resources to compete with Bosco. Lmao! Got it! I wonder if coach Morris believes the same. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can afford to build 60M dollar HS stadiums but not the fuel or hotel accommodations needed to travel. The world has changed a lot in recent years, but Texas not traveling beyond their own border remains a forever constant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If SLC was intent on not splitting to keep an athletic adv then why didn’t they just simply build a school to house everyone or add on? They definitely could afford any option without blinking an eye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to house 2800-2900 students you need a much bigger campus than housing 1200-1400 students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, building a *second* campus so your *one* high school can leverage it's scale to crush its fellow schools is against all norms and is basically only done in Texas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
181pl Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Go Allen! And size matters to a point. Cypress Bay HS in FTL is mammoth. And hasn't won state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Bay is a bad example to prove your point. They opened in 2003 and by their 5th season (2007) they won 10 games. By their 8th season (2010) they had reached the state semifinal (lost by 3 to Central). By their 10th season (2012) they had reached the state championship (lost to Apopka by 3). More importantly, when they reached their peak in enrollment (5,500) the school board immediately went about building a new high school (West Broward) to relieve the overcrowding. Their head coach retired and the school lost more than 15% of their enrollment. This doesn't happen in Southlake or Allen because the cities serve as their own school boards. They see no advantage to building a new high school to relieve overcrowding. Broward County, on the other hand, doesn't care at all about Cypress Bay's competitive advantage. They just build a new high school when it's needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that comes a decrease in athletic performance for Carroll HS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
