If you could have gone to another HIGH SCHOOL, which one would it be?

[KTJ]

If for some reason you weren't able to graduate from the high school that you did, which one would you have wanted to go to?

For me it would be any of the following: Lewisville, Plano, Arlington Lamar, or Southlake Carroll.

I had friends at all of those schools and would drive from Gainesville on the weekends (that i had free from basketball, track, and speech practice) just to see them.

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

I don't know. I think I'd like to go to Westlake. A lot of talent and a consistenly good football program.

[bullfrog_alumni_02]

i know my first answer is totally wrong for being where im from but i have a best friend who went to aledo. but my top choices are aledo, boswell, abiliene wylie.

[jason]

[BullFrog Dad]

[espn1]

GED

[Phil C]

I graduated from Freer HS but if I had to graduate from a different one it would be Sinton where I live right now. Of course if I had I would probably be living in Freer right now. lol

[CRHSeagle]

5a- Trinity
4a- Aledo
3a- Decatur
2a- Dublin (DR. PEPPER!!!)
All are nice schools with a good football tradition:D

[BlueBlood]

Barbers Hill and would have had a house on the bay.

[Chris Hart]

5A-Westlake
4A-Wolforth Frenship
3A-Abilene Wylie
2A-Refugio
1A-Stafford

[turbostud]

Celina

[PhiI C]

In 1A it would be Windthrost for me. All those championships would have been fun.

[Sans Couth]

Rockwall,

They have a Taco Bell in the snack bar.:D

[vet93]

Great Question:

5A: Midland Lee or Permian
4A: Brownwood
3A: Sweetwater, Greenwood
2A: Sonora
1A: Iraan
sixman: Panther Creek

There are actually many others...so I just limited my response to west texas teams.

Oh yeah, BullFrog Dad you hit the nail on the head. Kids don't realize what those years mean until they are gone. I loved the scenes in Peggy Sue Got Married where she goes back 25 years to high school. If we only had the wisdom and the youth all at the same time. What a combination that would be. But unfortunately, life is linear as is the accumulation of wisdom (experience with learning). Too bad adolescents don't listen to old f@$ts as they would gain immensely if they did.:)

[PhiI C]

I agree with you on 2A vet. I would l have chosen Sonora. Of course my 3A choice would have been the No. 1 choice in Sinton.

[sinton66]

Most DEFINITELY wouldn't have been Gregory-Portland.

[vet93]

Phil...had I expanded beyond west texas...good ole Sinton would have been on my list for sure!!! I just thought I would have bored everyone had I listed teams from all of the regions.

[sinton66]

heh heh, well you can't choose Rowena for High School anymore, but my wife did when she went.:D

[PhiI C]

I am undecided on 4A and 5A evem though John Tyler would have been a lot of fun during Earl Campbell's senior year.

[District303aPastPlayer]

5A: Douglas Macarthur in SA
4A: LaMarque
3A: La Grange or Greenwood or Port Isabel
2A: Refugio or Odem
1A: Iraan

[La Grange]

I would say Port Isabel, so I could go to the parties on and in South Padre :D .

[kaorder1999]

5A-Odessa Permain
4A-Denton Ryan (in their 4A run)
3A-Crandall...not sure why
2A-Celina or Lone Oak
1A- Celeste (i think they were 1A)

[vet93]

Does your wife remember what the mascot for Rowena was? I don't think that I have ever heard what it was.

Lone Oak?

I had a young friend that graduated from Lone Oak about 15 years ago.

I went to his graduation. He graduated 8th in his class.

Of course there were only 16 seniors there.:D

I guess Lone Oak has grown a little. But last time I drove thru...it was still a podunk town.:D

I'm not sure, but I think they were the Eagles.

As for which High School I would choose, can't imagine going anywhere but good ole Ballinger, but if I had to choose, I guess it would be Brownwood.

[vfunk]

man...who cares about the football program...i woulda went to where the hot chicks are!

[Matthew328]

Funny you say that vfunk.....but Itasca...ye Itasca had some hotties..at least when we went down there for drivers ed when I was a sophmore...more hot chicks per capita than any town! LOL

[La Grange]

Fayette county has always been known for it's ladies :D . La Grange, Flatonia, and Schulenburg all have a ton of girls to look at.

[Old Tiger]

5a - Westlake
4a - Denton Ryan
3a - WO-S
2a - Celina
1a - Where ever is really good?

[intocable_cowboy]

Hondo.
I like the tradition they have, their colors, stadium, and a band i would have liked to play on.

[vet93]

You are right! Sinton66 confirmed this yesterday as well. Through the years it seems that some of the best, most well-rounded students at Ballinger are from the Rowena area. Both athletically and academically. Interestingly, when I was playing football, many of the Rowena boys didn't play because their parents didn't want them to play football. There were some really good athletes that could have been dang good ball players had they had the chance.
