There were a lot of parents moving to the Calallen and Orange Grove area because of the increase in Oil service company's to that area. they have since moved toward the San Antonio direction and West Texas. Alice had a boom they thought would never end and used bond money to build a convention center and Natatoruim(swimming) among other things and the boom busted and service company's moved out and now they can't pay their bills. The Drilling company's are gone also. My sister in law had a hard time selling her house in Alice when she moved to Corpus to a facility. Alice is not a happy place right now. Agreed. But these kids that are leaving to play elsewhere are not doing so because of anything to do with the oilfield leaving Alice. Go look at all that ISD's schools state scores. They're horrible. And yet they just a few weeks ago gave the superintendent a $20,000 annual raise. That's Alice for you. I get why people get upset and come after me when I make my Alice comments because I use to be the same way and argue with anyone that would say anything negative about Alice but it is what it is now. I'm not here to make excuses for AISD anymore.

I get why people get upset and come after me when I make my Alice comments because I use to be the same way and argue with anyone that would say anything negative about Alice but it is what it is now. I'm not here to make excuses for AISD anymore. The raise was needed, he is doing a great job turning the district around. You can't expect results to change drastically in a year or two. He is great for the district and they need to do whatever it takes to keep him. He has raised the pay for teachers to be somewhat competitive in the area to help attract and retain teachers which will help boost scores eventually. Also, AISD had been in the red for quite awhile and are now functioning out of the green. Changes are happening he just needs more time, I understand you don't have "blinders" on anymore but you were also pretty upset when Alice chose not to hire you so you could still be salty about that. Personally i love your work and i think you do a beyond great job for all of the athletes in the area but your temperament on this forum and out at the games is likely what held you from getting that job. I do think things happen for a reason and I am glad you have broadened your horizons and have started making videos and images of all local athletes and not just Alice athletes. That guy that moved his kids moved them because he wanted his kids on varsity as starters when they were/are freshman...they just aren't skilled enough for that and he moved them because of it. He would host practices and workouts on his own time which was good however he only included a select few kids, then on game days hes talking trash from the sideline about the coaches and some of the kids. I am glad he is not in Alice. Parents have been moving their kids to Calallen for a long time now and it won't stop any time soon. When I was a senior we won the last district championship in alice and that calallen football team had at least 3 of the guys I had gone to school with my entire life until high school. Parents are going to make the choice they THINK is best for their kids and no one can fault them for that.

Parents are going to make the choice they THINK is best for their kids and no one can fault them for that. I'm not saying the super isn't worth keeping. I'm saying there was literally no need to currently give that dude a raise of $20k. Nobody was beating down the doors trying to get him and he was in no position to ask for that raise and I'm sure he didn't. As far as my temperament comment, you can come up with any excuse you want to justify defending Alice but we all already know why that job was given to who it was given to. I happen to like the guy so I'm not gonna sit here and make more comments on it other than to say it was way beyond that for me. I was disrespected by the super and the hiring committee and that more than anything has everything to do with my anger towards that school district. I didn't deserve to be disrespected like they did me. As far as your comments on the guy that left you can once again come up with all the excuses you want to defend Alice but the bottom line is Alice is littered with jealous parents. I see it in here and on social media. Did he scream at coaches from the sidelines? Sure. Some of them deserved it. Some of them are just there for the paycheck especially those at the lower levels. Hello, look who is in charge of the program and the drama he recently brought as well as the mess of the 2018 season. You're telling me that's a "well run" situation that doesn't deserve to have parents criticizing it? C'mon dude.

And you're wrong about me being "salty" towards AISD. I'm not salty, I flat-out hate AISD. But I'll make your online experience in here better... this will be my last post in an Alice thread.

I had a lot of customers in Alice and Lou Flournoy and Hank Harkins are long gone and Alice has changed. Nearly all the Pierce brothers are gone. Bill Poole and Don Magee. People I knew well.

My apologies to the Alice fans. I'm officially done today with the bitterness and shitting on the program I grew up loving. Time to move on.

You got nothing to be sorry about bro. You got screwed just like many people have been. Alice has always been like this no matter if it's the school district, city or county. All I hope is we keep getting better everyday for our kids in this community. Hell just the other day they started some work where the indoor facility will be at. Honestly thou i feel like the schools are getting better. My daughter goes to saenz and they have been getting better scores each year since the supt has taken over. But as far as the topic about moving kids out of Alice it's not just Alice suffering this. Orange Grove has been losing kids as well. I know this has nothing to do with football but it's just what it is. People can't find good jobs in our area. You have to move to corpus to land better jobs or move to SA. Hell I literally commute to harbor island for work everyday.

What’s the latest in Coyote land? Any chance the school board reverses course and allows things to get started?
