Are you a webmaster for a Nigerian prince?

 

the Matamoros El Bravo?

 

Ain't no God in Mexico/Ain't comfort in the can.
When you're down in Matamoros gettin' busted by the man.

 

I realize I started it, but how about we get this back on track and discuss the opening? Not the place for a school-the-rookie threadjack.

How many high schools are in the area?

 

There are eight schools in the area that we cover extensively, two others that we get to when we can and a couple of very small TAPPS schools that have sprouted up recently.

 

Noted.

 

I can personally vouch that you will earn your keep in Brownsville. The loot may not be much but the experience will help you down the line.

 

Have an online friend down there who is a retired teacher, but still runs the clock at football and basketball games and does some work with the indie league team there (OP may know of whom I speak but, no outing [/spnited]). Sounds like you will not lack for stories.

 

Applicant must learn to hate Corpus Christi schools with every fiber of their being.
