I played up there against them in high school. Pretty damn nice.

I haven't seen the new high school yet. We played them a few times as an out of district game when I was in HS. Back then, the school wasn't that great; neither was the football team. We usually beat them although they were a larger school.

Murphy Promise. Pays for every graduating senior who has been there since 9th grade to go to college in state.

I didn't know if Murphy still did this. That's a great incentive for kids to do well in school, and good for the state universities, as well. Georgia Pacific used to give full 4-year scholarships to four seniors every year, for many years, at my hometown high school, but the recipients could choose any college, in or out of state. GP stopped giving them a few years before they sold out to Koch, and that company sure as hell wouldn't do it.

Brand new high school. I think it is only two years old.

I'll have to check it out next time I go home for a visit. I haven't been to El Dorado in quite a while. I've heard it has changed for the better over the past several years.

Things have changed. When we played them, they weren't very good, mainly because they were very undisciplined, as was the entire student body. If we played there, we (cheerleaders) and drill team were escorted by police, quickly, to and from the bus and were not allowed to go to the concession stand on our break. Drinks were brought to us on the sideline. Our bus always stopped at McDonald's before the game so we could use the restroom. We couldn't go during the game. It was pretty rough. Good to hear things seem to be somewhat better. They couldn't have been much worse back then.
