Actually, it will cost about 62.8 million.This was on the local tv station the other day. They're building a high school stadium in Mckinney that will cost $50 million. Is this true? Talk about skewed priorities. Odessa Permian all over again.
Allen has the $50 million field that that is broken - they had to pay rent to Plano ISD to use the Plano field. Allen abuts McKinney and Frisco. We have an arms race.They've got to compete against the Frisco schools just down the road who will be playing at the new Cowboys field.
If they handle it like they do in my hood, they just appraise the properties for 20% higher than you could sell it for.No oil in McKinney.
Rich folks live in Highland Park.
Where'd they get the cash?
Did the district start shaking down the meth labs?

Allen's stadium was actually 60 million. Katy is building a stadium with a 62.5 million price tag to go along with McKinney's 62.8 million stadium. It definitely does seem we are in an arms race.Allen has the $50 million field that that is broken - they had to pay rent to Plano ISD to use the Plano field. Allen abuts McKinney and Frisco.

One thing I'll give Frisco credit for - they build new high schools, keeping enrollment down. Allen has almost 5,000 in its high school, and only one high school in town. I don't know the politics of Allen, but from the outside, it looks like this slows or prevents development of the vast majority of students - there will only 1 kid that gets to play QB, 1 kid that gets the lead in the school play, one kid that gets to be president of student council, etc. Yes, they dominate football, and their halftime shows are spectacular, but at the cost of developing other kids (and I'm not one of those who wants to give participation trophies). Frisco has 14,000 kids spread over 8 high schools, with a 9th getting ready to open next year. Back to football talk. Anything else bad coming out of Waco today?My brother lives up in Frisco. He teaches at one of the 100 new high schools there. I've heard all about it.
Absurd.
All thanks to an idiot aggy.
Agreed! I think today's school district administrations look at it as "athletics bring more money into the district and community than academics do." I disagree with this philosophy but in today's schools decisions are always made about the bottom dollar.What ever happen to Education?
Hook'em
That's why you see Allen as a power school because it's only one school in town. If it were 3 schools in town, the football teams won't be as talented. There is this one town in the Bay Area(California) named Union City and it has 1 high school. The population of the town is around 90,000 folks. They refuse to build a new school stating it will water down the product. It's a very good school in just about every sport. I feel that every city with a population of 30,000 folks should have a high school. If it's 100,000 folks in town, then it should be 3 high schools for that townHigh school football is so freaking watered down now. Consolidate and we'll see quality pick up again.
Plano started the giant hi school. In North Texas. It enabled them to beat Highland Park.That's why you see Allen as a power school because it's only one school in town.

They have football in the San Antonio area?
Allen High School University! Other HS should follow their example.
That young kid will be offered a ship in his 8th grade year. That Boy Is Good AND fastHave you not seen Friday night Tykes? I have been meaning to bring this up if anyone has watched it. There is a 12 year old boy named Martzell Miller I think that's his name and that kid is a stud at running back at that age and fast I mean fast has to be the best 12 year old out there. He plays for the San Antonio Outlaws and they have won 5 state titles in a row I think for TYFA which is what the league is called. They just moved to snoop doggs league this past season and won the whole thing in thier first year in the league. They had to fly to Cali and play in a playoff against 2 other cali teams and Miller was the mvp of the tourney. Carried the team on both sides of the ball and those cali teams were co*ky thinking they were going to run the Texas boys home early.
And I still remember 2004 when Midland High and Judson were playing for state and Midland had the game won all they needed was to play prevent D on the last play. Judsons qb that had a pea shooter of arm gave it everything he had and found a receiver behind the D and Midland loses it in the last seconds....

Yep. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't offer him in the 8th grade and he commit. I just hope the parents doesn't use him for a paycheck (Hello Ole Miss)Also like the fact that in the show he wears a longhorn jacket all the time.

Don't know about them owning a bbq place but they seem like good folks.Well I wouldn't think so. Don't his parents or family own the bbq place on the show and teach him work ethic and manners right?
