Yep. They already are putting down some gray powder stuff, and from there it's supposed to be done pretty quickly. It's due to be done by August 3, the company has incentive to get it done because 2 other area schools are gonna come look at it to make a decision on what company to go with on theirs.

I need to drive by and see if they started laying it down yet.

I heard it will say Forney ISD in the EZ's. That would be the smartest thing to do. The two toned look is awesome. Are they replacing the track too or just parts of it?

Emerson1

Just parts of it. They had already repaired cracks and that part had a big dip in it.

as a teacher I dont mind the uniform policy. It will be interesting when the new one opens. I dont think anyone on the current staff would want to be the head coach at the new school but I may be wrong.

They will never be what they were again. IE Permian, Dangerfield, Temple, Baytown Sterling, Willowridge (some), Henderson, Huntsville, Lubbock Estacado, Marble Falls, Port Neches-Groves ect

Growth to a point is good. managed growth is best, but its hard to manage. Most growth is not managed because of money.
Roads, utilities, traffic, over crowding ect are things that towns have to deal with long after the developer is gone.

As always divide and YOU get conqured.

SLC it would appear had a plan. But not all towns are the same. What works in Sl may not work in Forney and vice versa. All up and down I-35 you can see the effect of growth. Some good, some bad. Its tough on athletic programs. Money is tight. facilities are cramped. Schools have a hard time keeping up with the growth.

But, division causes death to most programs.

Even Plano went down for a while. But they are back up and plano West does well. Bit their HUGE numbers may help them overcome the division. Forney wont be as lucky.

kaorder1999
07-26-2007, 02:00 PM
yeah...Forney will be two small 4A schools. That is going to be tough. Very tough.

Rabbit'93
07-26-2007, 04:19 PM
uniform policy= good thing IMO. You're not at school for a fashion show. If forney doesn't have uniforms teachers still have to worry about dress code.

Athletics will never be the same after the second school is built. They're not even the same now. As an alum of FHS it took a while for me to come to grips with the notion of a second school. That changed when I actually thought about what is best for my kids.

It's going to permanently have the outer lines painted on, but anything on the football field will be painted/chalked on before each game.

where did you hear that? I have never heard of that before. that is one of the reasons for having field turf and that is to keep from having to paint lines.

How is that a waste? No one wants to see soccer lines on the football field. I am sure they have something that they paint on before the season and it last a few weeks or months.

whats up with that?

went to college, started working two jobs, got married...last year I worked every Friday night on that AWFUL radio show...now I'm building a house in Denton...I still want to go to Forney to catch a game soon, but I don't know how my wife will feel about it...if we have a 5-year reunion (which I'm not sure if we do or not), then she'll definitely get sucked into one next year at the latest!

is that lettering they're working on in the endzone or just a tarp?

hehe...not really, but you ought to see a picture of her...I like keeping her happy....:D

But in reality, she works for the city up here where she went to school and she's their event coordinator, so we spend a lot of time involved with events around here...been going to Denton Outlaws games lately, and that's some good baseball.

Lol...well, she's still getting her payback from all the games I made her go to two years ago. I went to almost every game played at the new stadium in Denton, plus a couple of UNT games, plus a couple of Keller games.

yes - can only assume they will repaint one end zone when the other school starts playing

this will cost about $20K
