There's at least one in Lockhart who shares those sentiments.

Lockhart…great BBQ, yet very close to the city and proud home of the Fightin’ Austin Lockhart Lions.

Hebron HS in Carrollton Tx is always referred to as being in Lewisville Tx.

Hebron is in the Lewisville school district but the school is certainly not in Lewisville.

LOL, that's like Canyon Randall HS being in the Canyon ISD but is actually located in Amarillo, not Canyon. And now Canyon ISD has a 3rd high school, West Plains HS, which is also within Amarillo city limits (just barely).

Do they now call it Lewisville Hebron?

" so and so from Hebron HS in Lewisville Tx "....

It’s more common than you think especially in the Greater Houston area. School District boundaries and City boundaries often overlap. There are Pasadena ISD schools in the city of Houston, Fort Bend ISD schools in the city of Houston. I remember working on a project that was for Alvin ISD but the school was in the city of Pearland which is a bit crazy because Alvin and Pearland are huge rivals. And I think every school in Manvel is part of Alvin ISD. Alvin ISD is huge. I’m sure there are many other examples all over the state.

Big Lake, Texas doesn’t even have a lake.

That's an insult to rectums everywhere.

Yes rectums are useful and toot their horn less.

 

[mchammer]

Meep Meep!!! We prefer the original name….just Westlake. WHS is not in Austin and I have no idea how “ Austin Westlake “ got started.

It’s like calling Lake Travis, “Austin Lake Travis” or Katy High, “Houston Katy.”

It’s how AP reported HS games: city and name of school. I see your point, but is it Austin McNeil or Round Rock McNeil HS? I don’t recall. I think it is Austin though McNeil is in RRSD.

I always liked Tyler John Tyler HS.

Newspapers reporting HS football scores. It’s the same in every state. City and then school name. See Tyler John Tyler HS.

Also borrowed by Angleton HS (my daughter’s Alma Mater). Now when I hear that song I tend to think of AHS rather than ND.

Win Win for ole AHS
You do the score and we’ll do the rest
Circle in and hit em hard
They’ll never gain another yard..

There are two other powerhouse Westlake Highs. One in Louisiana and another in Southern California.

Perhaps that’s the reason in recruiting and with the national media that the Austin Westlake thing cropped up in the 80’s. That and the fact that Westlake hadn’t gained statewide prominence until then.

But in the 70’s it was never called Austin Westlake

You'll never hear us singing the blues
We're loyal whether we win or lose
We're the Wildcats A! H! S!
We're out on the prowl again

(or something like that)

How about changing Westlake to the Dodge Family School. Between his father-in-law and Todd, Westlake earned the right to be called whatever they want to be called.

Emmett Shelton Sr High..more appropriately. He was my friend and employer…clever lawyer who amassed most of Westlake Hills proper by adverse possession.and representing land owning cedar choppers in their constant shootings and various other serious legal scrapes from the 30’s to the 50’s.

Westlake High was his vision and he had the land to do it. He and other founders hated the prospect of busing students at least 15 miles every day inside Austin to achieve ineffective social ideals. So they created an independent school district.

If you have the chance Google Emmett. He was an early Austin storyteller and historian as well.

Purple White Fight Fight Fight!

Sounds like you’ve heard that sung many a time.

Are y'all talking about Eames Westlake High School.

The Chaps have been one of Central Texas' best programs for a long time.

This is kind of off topic, but I actually live in Lewisville. When I travel and say where I am from, people often try to correct the pronuciation to Louie Vill. I say no, it's the English spelling LEWIS.

 

[SabreHorn]

Crockett,

Tell them that you're from LEWISVILLE, they are thinking you are from the hellhole better known as Loserville.

Crockett,

No, tell them that you are from the quaint little village of Flower Mound.

 

[Crockett]

Higland Village starts at my back fence. Flower Mound is 2 blocks away.
