Rumor Mill#1 - 5A Teams Get Preference at New Stadium?

We asked, and you sent us some rumor mill items. Thanks for those, and keep them coming. Below is the first installment of our blog feature Rumor Mill where we answer some of the common rumors on the street.

Will the 5A high schools get a preferred schedule of more games at the new MISD Stadium than the 4A high schools?

False. We double-checked with Athletic Director Debbie Weems to be double-sure, but there is no such system in place. Actually, coaches from all high schools get together to determine the schedules.

Rumor mill.

We were talking in the office(we've obviously had a little time to talk since my last post), and we thought a fun thing to tackle on the blog would the rumor mill. We're often amused, surprised and occasionally amazed by the things we hear while out in the community. One of our personal favorites last year was the rumor that a Starbucks was going to be built inside Legacy High School.
That said, we have an assignment for you. Send us your rumor mill items and we'll take them on here. You can send us one by clicking on the comment tab of this blog or by emailing me at morate@mansfieldisd.org . If you send it by email, be sure to let me know it is a rumor mill item in the subject line.
