About time they finally have a black Head Coach. All 4 of the Best Southwest high schools have black head football coaches except Desoto.
What do you mean about time? Dude had been winning there for awhile, it's not like they've been going through coaches and not giving the Black ones a shot.
If anything be mad about duncanville going as long as they did until finally hiring samples. They should've been Allen before Allen.
Why do you say Duncanville H.S. Football should've been what Allen H.S. Football is?
Damn, Coach Lynn lost weight
Glad they gave him the job.
Him and coach McGuire started at Cedar Hill at the same time in 1998 under sorry ass Coach Woods.
shyt tho.
Because of the size of that school to begin with. The facilities, location. They should've been making deep runs like CH and Desoto and Lancaster but they hired that last coach and he didn't work out. They have coach samples now but it may be too late to catch up to the other 3 .
They were pretty close to this in like every damn sport when I was in school. They were like the dominant baseball and basketball school in the state as well as girls' basketball. They even won all three in '98. Seemed like they were comin up quick in football in the late 80s during Carter's run, but they just never got over the hump. They may be able to do it now with coach Samples.
You could put it in that category. This is actually pretty far along, but it has a lot of political opposition in the rural areas in between. Texas Central Railroad is basically a corporation formed to take care of the political and logistical side of getting this put together. The Japanese Central Railroad company is the company putting up the financing and engineering. They've run this high speed rail profitably and with no accidents ever like over a 50 year period. 15 years of no accidents with the Kinkisharo model they want to run in Texas. So they have the funding and engineering side. Army corps has approved their plan and corridor. The problem is, they want to do this without state funding or emminent domain. So no matter which alternative they choose they are getting a lot of rural opposition. TCR and JCR have been willing to work with them. They wanted to initially build berms with pass-throughs, but they are being required to build more viaduct type raised tracks where its asked of them. They want to start construction this year or next, but good luck with that. Especially with the emboldened politicals. Shame as this is the only route in the US that has been deemed economical by them with no federal money. California has gone ahead and started building a line, but with lots of state money. This could start and open sooner because of an easier route to build and being privately backed. Supposed to be quicker door to door than a flight and Dallas has developers throwing their money and land at stations if they build it(two sites chosen will either be over I-30, yes over or just south next to where the Alamo Drafthouse sits, aka the original new Cowboys Stadium site back in '04). Houston's station would be in NW Houston @610 and 290 according to the approved routes. They weren't able to secure a route to downtown like Dallas was. I don't know what to think. Can't blame people that don't want this going through their ranch land, but at the same time, I have some land in East Texas and would love for this to run through it as long as I'm compensated.
Yep, it seems like people forgot that Duncanville was the one running shyt in the mid-to-late 90's.
Didn't they win state in Football, Basketball, Girls Basketball and Baseball all in one year.
Can some explain to me why the Best Southwest suburbs, Mesquite, & even Grand Prairie don't have DART service?@rantanamo
@rantanamo
Municipalities have to pass their own referendum requesting DART membership. In doing so, they have to give up a ..25% sales tax hike to join. They've simply either voted it down, haven't brought it up or in Arlington's case, been convinced they needed the Rangers and Cowboys more.
That's not Gentrification. What happened was one man went on a buying spree and started renovating and attracting new businesses with his renovations and renovation plans. Business are pushed out of rising rent situations everyday. Residents aren't being pushed out as there was never a significant resident population. As it is, Deep Ellum is just a retail center. West Dallas or the Design District would be closer to what Uptown is. East Dallas and Oak Cliff would be more of a widespread gentrification.
