Vets surprised me with the toughness of their defense last year. That playoff run was something else. I get the competition wasn't the toughest, but to allow 20 total points in four playoff games is something. Can they sustain it? Who knows. But they changed their identity a bit this year from what they have been. How big of a leap can Durrette make in year 2. I don't know how a team can go from year to year without a solid RB. After Frank Jones and Kobe Piper they haven't had that kind of bell cow. That makes it easier on a defense, in my mind. Everyone wants to talk smack about the Valley, but I think Region IV got tougher for Vets even without Bluff and GP. I honestly don't think they are the favorite going in. Fair assessment Not sure though that I agree with the FB & GP comment. You now have Vela to worry about but both FB & GP showed they are equal to the task last year. I think the biggest thing is by your sorry ccisd district opting up all those schools you pushed teams that SHOULD be in R4 into R3 and thus escaping Smithson Valley, Wagner, NB Canyon, Boerne Champion, Hays, Seguin, and maybe even SA MacArthur as they will have a good team themselves from time to time! What your district did was basically screw all other CCISD teams over along with those SA area schools by opting up all school but one. Thoughtless, spineless move by the person making this decision as far as I'm concerned. I know the kids, parents, coaches, etc did not have anything to do with this decision but you can bet your bottom dollar people all over R4 will be rooting against CCVM just because of this. Wrong or right it is how it is. I know it can't happing but I'd love for all of CCISD to go winless. I'll settle for Vets.

Yeah I’m transitioning over from perennial winner to perennial loser. The expectation was 3 round deep as a minimum at Vets… now I’d LOVE to see 3 total wins in year 1 as a Carroll Tiger dad. My hope is that by my son’s senior season in 2025, Carroll will WIN a playoff game.
As for Vets next season? Senior QB, absolute studs returning at skill spots, defensive coaching intact, most of O-line retuning… on and on.
Vets will be locked at loaded. 13-0 going into the R4 Championship game vs Edinburg Vela… and probably rolling in that game to get to the State Semis, with a potential win there too. Vets will start the season ranked in the top 10, possibly top 5.
FB and GP did good on themselves to stay away.

Dude you're gonna lose the 2nd game of the season to Alice and not just lose but get hammered so forget about that 13-0 start. Alice returns a bunch from a team that was a penalty away from beating your Eagles despite all Alice's youth this last season. I said it on my STXB Facebook page and I'll say it in here... 2022 Alice is gonna remind everyone who Alice use to be.

Vets toughest part of the schedule will be non district against 4A teams and one 5A team. They won't be undefeated come district play. I'll put money on that right now. If they make it to the semis, I'll also put money on that and spot you 14 points. Deal? Come on and put your money where your mouth is.

He is calling out Vets/Vela in the semis like it is a given. lmao Hell, if both teams don't win their districts they could face off as early as the 2nd round! I love the shot in his post towards FB & GP! lmao But, the best part of his post is the one about the semis. My goodness such a short memory of the last semi-finals game just 2 years ago. Let's just pencil CCVM in to the state title game because they are so damn loaded with talent top to bottom.

He's making a mistake betting against El Campo beating them.... We know what's going to happen.

GP and FB fans say the CCISD and their Queen did his boy's team (Carroll) no good by having them stay away from where they should be playing. I still don't get why he can't comprehend this especially since he claims he has a kid playing at Carroll , so he will be on the other side of the coin.

And I thought he said he has another kid over at FB to that is playing now? I'm 160 miles away and can see that CCISD plays to their favorite only! Just ridiculous as hell for a district that large to claim travel as a big burden. Give me a break. Hell, look at some of the small school districts out in W TX and the travel they have to play just district games!

Just ridiculous as hell for a district that large to claim travel as a big burden. Give me a break. Hell, look at some of the small school districts out in W TX and the travel they have to play just district games! I'm going to an annual informal event in a few weeks where I know a current member of the CCISD board will be attending as he always has in the past. He's in the same business as I am and actually a great guy and pretty much a cut through the BS type. The topic will be brought up by me if we get some quality time to chat over a drink. I am going to ask him if he knows his district is not well regarded not only locally, but statewide because of this decision. And why do they let the AD pretty much dictate this vs the Super and more importantly the board. Or if that's the case at all? Publicly it looks this way. He might be a lone wolf of dissent over there at least I hope so. For football they were maybe looking at four road trips to SA or the RGV and one to Victoria or two depending on the draw..... But at the end of the day the UIL should get more of the blame for just rubber stamping it and not rejecting it outright.

Vets hasn’t had open enrollment since 2018. 4 years ago. In 2019, CCISD changed the school boundaries. Since then vets gets Kaffie MS and Carroll gets Grant MS. There is no preference given to Vets. Vets does what they do with the kids they get from Kaffie. If a kid moves to the south side to join Vets, more power to him. Same has happened at Calallen and flour Bluff for decades. But the family has to make the move. Transfer ins are not allowed from outside of the school boundary. On a side note, Grant’s 8th grade (next year’s freshman) have been successful in beating Kaffie at just about everything since 7th grade. In fact, Grant has done well City-wide. Vets no longer has Kaffie and Grant to draw from, just Kaffie now. Carroll will have the horses to compete. This coaching hire is very important.

You do understand that what CCISD did by opting up every school in the district except one benefited one school, right? Which one would that be? That is what everyone here is talking about now. Not only did that nutless move by CCISD hurt all CCISD schools except the one named VM, it hurt a bunch of solid SA area schools by sending them to R3 which is already LOADED with great teams! Do you understand this? CCISD is using a BS excuse of travel when in affect that is absolute HORSECHIT since the ONLY one who likely would have been traveling for district games would have been CCVM if the rest had been left in the correct classification where they belong! Ray, Carroll, King, Miller, & Moody are all 5a DII schools but are pushed up to play D1 JUST FOR CCVM's BENEFIT!

Just maybe the hate is misplaced and it shouldn't be on your football program but rather on the administration responsibility for opting all the schools up. Those schools are being opted up to not inconvenience Vets and have them playing in a SA or Valley district. The problem is that turns around and screws over a bunch of other programs like G-P and FB and the SA area schools that got moved to region 3.

Ray, Carroll, King, Miller, & Moody are all 5a DII schools but are pushed up to play D1 JUST FOR CCVM's BENEFIT! To me, 5A-1 and 5A-2 are identical in competitiveness. There is no difference in quality of play. Some arbitrary dividing point makes no difference in what you see on the field. There is a noticeable difference from 5A-1 to 4A-1, and a noticeable difference from 5A-1 to 6A. But 5A is 5A. Surely that was evident classification-wide last season (and the several seasons before that). CCISD keeping its schools together makes perfect sense to me. And obviously I’m not the only one, because that’s the way it’s been for a long time now. Y’all can yip and yap all you want. The reality is that the decision has been made and CCISD remains intact for another 2 seasons. I bet some of you guys on here still cry about the girl that told you no back in 7th grade.

No they are not... So if Miller makes the playoff next year, you do realize they are going to play schools almost double their enrollment because of this. How is that "identical?"

The open enrollment thing absolutely gave Vets a preference over the other CCISD high schools. I would dare you to say that to any coach, Alum, parent, or player who really cared from Carroll or King during that period to current if Vets hasn't been given an preferences. The whole non sense for moving up the rest of the CCISD's is to save Vets from having to travel a few times a season in comfortable charter buses to the RGV or SA. How can that not be a preference? If the rest of the CCISD's were borderline D1, an argument could be made about moving them up to D1. But they are far from that number.
