A lot of Texas teams have that oil money behind them thus those large high school stadiums.  Oakland win or lose will hold their own.  

It's more than just oil money, and dependent on which part of the state the school is located.  

Texas' economy is far more than just oil.  Ranching and agriculture are major economic contributors, as well.

Bragg, we aren't interested in your dating choices. "I loved Houston's coach in his shorts"

Auggie I laughed when I saw KC looking like he was on the Alaskan Iditarod and the Houston coach in his shorts and with half the coaching staff numbers that the great KC had.

Did you check KC's bath water temp this morning ?

It’s just not a fair comparison.

Bragg, I don't look to see what the Head coach is wearing.  Your proclivity to see what the coaches are wearing is weird.

Tech is a pretty big jobs sector in Texas as well

Tech is a large part of the Austin, TX economy but make no mistake the State of Texas operates on Oil & Natural Gas money.  I tell people in Tennessee all the time that healthcare is a major part of the economy in Middle Tennessee, but the Texas Oil & Gas people spend more on their bar tabs than the healthcare guys make.  However, what makes the public schools in Texas have so much money to spend is that the individual school boards set their own tax rate and collect the taxes.  Unlike Davidson County where the council & mayor's office set the tax rate and then allocate the funds to the school district all of this is done by the school board in Texas.

Isn't cut blocking legal in Texas? Just something to watch out for

Depends on what you are calling "cut blocking".  

Texas UIL plays by NCAA rules, which allows cut blocks in limited areas of the field. 

Chop blocking, which many confuse with cut blocking, is not allowed under either NCAA or NFHS rules.

    • We have 2 PG's that will be added to the lineup and another guard and all are athletic and can handle ball pressure. Gibson County beat Westview 4 times in 2024. Westview brought in a Miss Basketball Candidate from South Fulton last year and you want to say Gibson County has a mental hump against Westview. I tell you what you put her on Gibson County's squad and Westview would have had a mental hump. Here is a fact. They wouldn't have won it without her last year. Last I looked Gibson County has played with who we got on our campus. Let's see how Westview does this year with who they got on their campus. I do think they will be pretty good but I don't like shots being taken at my school especially from Westview. 
    • Smith County fans are delusional is they are wanting to get rid of Dyer. If they think they are supposed to be some powerhouse of a football program that wins 10+ games every year they need a reality check. Never have been that good of a football program and probably never will. It’s too hard for a small rural place to be consistently good every single year 
    • If you’re talking about when they lost to Corbin HS out of Kentucky(4A school in KY) in 2017, they lost by 1 point and Corbin went 14-2 that year in Kentucky so to say they got “taken behind the woodshed by a mediocre out of state team” is a bit of a stretch. You act like Alcoa never loses at all. They lose games every year, granted mostly to Maryville but other teams have beaten them in the regular season. Alcoa just turns into another animal in the playoffs. Winning is a learned skill and it’s an advantage that Alcoa has over everyone when the postseason rolls around  
    • Carthage is returning QB will be his 3rd years starting and a Jr.He should be coming around.A soph tailback that got a lot of exp as a freshman.Biggest problem is the line.They have a couple of good athletes that will make plays but the rest still remain to be seen.Size is not a problem.New OC will be interesting.He is known to be a trickster but a genius in some peoples mind.Coach Dyer better get the ball rolling.I'm hearing a lot of eyes will be on him this year.GO OWLS
    • If Alcoa keeps winning titles after moving to 4a it makes the whole state look weak.  Havent they won 10 in a row or something.  My god how can a team win 10 in a row, and the 1 time they went and played a kentucky 3a team they got there ace's beat.  Some redbone coonhound team handled business on them, but they can constantly win 3a in tennessee.  I remember at the time looking up that redbone coonhound team that beat them, and found out that team is made fun of across the state of kentucky cause they havent won a title in like close to 50 years.  Think i seen they are now in 4a in kentucky, and they never won a title in the last 40-50 years no matter if they are 2a, 3a, or 4a but somehow was able to take alcoa behind the woodshed in the midst of there title run about 5-8 ,years ago dont remember the year.  Point is it looks bad when a team gets there hind end whooped like a 3 legged rented mule to a mediocre out of state team the 1 time they play them, but can dominate the whole state in 3a for over a decade.  Someone has to start beating them.
