I know several other schools do well in several sports ie...Decatur, Abilene Wylie, Argyle, Lucas Lovejoy, Just an observation.

If you have the program in place in a higher classification, then it helps when you drop down sometimes depending on what district you drop into too.

Congrats to the MW athletic Dept.

The Miserable Smells Lambs got'em a good HFC/AD. I hope they don't run this one off like they did the last good one.

Pretty good with a 961 enrollment. Try 481 - Lorena.

Football 1st in district
Vollyball bi-district champs
Both boys and girls basketball district champs+
Both soccer teams in playoffs.

In a district w/ the likes of LaVega, China Spring, and Gatesville.

Don't include us in the big school realm. More like middle of the road. China Spring has only 650. 2nd smallest in the District.

The budget crisis is going to mean fewer new schools will be built, which will push fewer 4A schools down to 3A. Maybe not in 2012 because those schools are in the pipeline already, but you'll see it in 2014.

I don't think he was saying China Spring is a big school. I believe he was saying they have a good athletic program and a tough district.

Depends on the district I guess. Ask Lampasas. They competed hard in their 4A district that included Lake Travis and finished 3-3. Dropping down to 3A, everyone expected them to rule Liberty Hill, Burnet, and the rest...Didn't happen. Finished 1-4 in district and they missed the playoffs.....

No. No one from our district would ever compliment another member, overtly or covertly.

That is exactly what I meant. Tough district - CS and LV past state runner-ups, Gatesville 2000 state champ, etc.

I'm picking Mineral Wells to repeat as the bring back the whole backfield and a couple of receivers.
