Listen up maggots! And that's an order!
The spending on athletic facilities in Texas will come to a head one of these days in the legislature. Not soon, but one of these days. it's going to take something like the mid-80s oil bust for it to happen.

That is exactly right, I'm in unknown Mansfield school district and there are some beasts in these schools. My 6th grader has a team mate RB about 5'10" 155 or 165 already and he can run like the wind but my lil 4'11" 85 lb son has to deal with skill players like that all the time here in Mansfield.
My other son has a team mate that is already 6'2' or 6'3" already 240 lbs of muscle could play LB in the SWAC now, Texas has the horses

I'm saying it's going to take a serious blow to Texas' economy (like the mid 1980s oil crash that hurt Oklahoma and Louisiana as well) for ISDs to stop building crazy facilities for high school sports.
Ross Kecseg with the Austin-based fiscal watchdog group Empower Texans calls the money being spent on high school stadiums “excessive.” The larger problem, he says, is school officials who combine outsize expenditures in one large bond package, leaving voters with no option to approve or reject one project over another. New school construction, building renovations, requests for more buses and other needs may be wrapped into a single request.
“When they put these propositions on the ballot, they put a whole lot of other things with them,” Kecseg said. “By law they’re allowed to separate the different requests … but they lump them all together in an all-or-nothing proposition.” http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2016/04/29/texas-schools-spare-no-expense-for-huge-football-stadiums/
Oh, and that stadium in McKinney they're talking about in the above linked article ... it's now about $7 million over budget.

Manvel was definitely more talented. You think this North Shore team will be better than last year's State Championship team? Defensively, that team was nasty.

That St.Aug team was loaded, they just had poor coaching.

Smooth as ICE '06' Style
If they were so loaded, why were they playing Fournette both ways in the playoffs? He was playing running back and Linebacker in the Playoffs.
But you did prove my point........ "Coaching"! St. Aug Fans tell the Coaches what plays to run at Tad Gormley Stadium. If you don't believe me, sit up by the press box and listen to them tell the DC and OC coordinator what plays to run. Guess, what? Them Clowns listen to the fans.......... smh!
St. Aug has sent over 35 players to the NFL and haven't won a State Championship in over 35 years! Schyatt, they can't make it out of the Quarter Finals, but will have 4 to 6 D1 Signees.

John Curtis has won a national title 2012 and Katy won in 2015. JC has already beat Hoover. We'll see what Allen does. A lot of this has to do with what year you're talking about. Size of schools don't matter because some schools recruit.

B,
The Colony is part of Lewisville ISD and is the only 5A high school in the district. All of the rest are 6A. LISD (the parents) shot down the idea of a district stadium. They were not having it. Instead, every high school in the district has it own on campus stadium, each school has its own indoor practice facility, and at least two extra practice fields. It is sick.

Some of these comments remind me of comments I read last year before LaSalle came to play Euless Trinity. LaSalle came in #1 and by the end of the game the band and cheerleaders were getting reps in the game.

You talking about the Lufkin Panthers that mighty Curtis barley beat if it wasn't for two late tds in fourth, that went 6-5 and barley made it to the playoffs just to lose in the 1st round. Your bragging about beating that Lufkin team?

Don't get confused. I am not bragging about anything. I am just throwing out facts because a lot of you all don't know what you're talking about. There is a reason as of late LSU been kicking off in Texas AM & TCU ass...LA. high school players. Per Capita TX isn't better.

Texas economy ranked 21st in nation
State also ranks near the bottom on education spending, correlation?
The Texas economy ranks 21st in the nation, according to Governing magazine, which used economic data from 2014 to 2016 to create an index.
That's a pretty middling performance for an economy once labelled the Texas Miracle because of how quickly it added jobs following the Great Recession of 2008. It turns out that all of that growth was tied to the oil and gas industry, which has taken a nosedive over the last two years.
