New AD

Welcome Jimmie Mitchell and good luck. If you can wade thru the parent politicos, you might have a prayer of succeeding. If eye were you, eye would ban all parents from attending practices and refuse all meetings pertaining to who should be playing where and who should be on varsity. But of course, Eye'm sure, promises and backdoor deals were made before you were ever offered the position. As Eye said earlier, good luck. The player parents in this area all seem to think that their sons are the next Eric Dickerson. It will be fun to watch.

TAKS time, the state will be watching very closely today as a portion of the TAKS is taken. Except for Herrington, no significant heads have rolled. She wasn't local anyway so no one really cares. The true results will come when contracts have to be offered for next year to the teachers. The administration is in major damage control mode to protect and insulate themselves from the TAKS results. The bomb will fall at the feet of the teachers and blow them up. Just as in war, the foot soldiers always bear the brunt of the casualties. Is it right? It might be in this case, especially, at the high school level.
