Rivalry Unbridled

[ktCarl]

I can't believe this made the local news down here.

A Cinco Ranch student wrote an inflammatory article about rival school students and parents invading businesses in Cinco's territory. The article is supposed to be 'satire'............
Oh well. :D

Article....

Cinco territories: other schools should find own hot spots

“Hi, could I get a three count chicken minis with a large sweet tea and a side of bitterness please?” This is not your typical Friday morning order at Chick-fil-A, but it may be if you get stuck in line behind two Taylor girls, a Katy mom, and a rather large group of Seven Lakes sophomores. We have all been there. You can’t help but be a little bit angry when you’re stuck in the Whataburger drive thru behind an unimaginably large caravan of Katy cars, each sporting at least 12 stickers reminding you of their accomplishments. If they’re so great why can’t they go to their own Whataburger? There’s this feeling in our little corner of the world that just says: This is Cinco. Some believe there is a sense of ownership to the neighboring businesses and restaurants… Cinco’s Mission Burrito. Cinco’s Target. Cinco’s Taco Bell, Whataburger, Sonic. Seeing anything but maroon clad students and parents roaming the aisles seems odd to some. Don’t they have their own places to go? It seems we are suffering from a case of Cinco Territorialism. Starbucks is packed with students after school and on the weekends. So why do we occasionally get held up at Starbucks not by band moms or teachers from Cinco, but Morton Ranch students? Morton Ranch. That’s a pretty far drive down Mason Road that takes them by at least two Starbucks. So why do they make the drive? The problem is not that they don’t have their own places to go, but they prefer to come to ours. With the surge of greatness ebbing from Cinco Ranch High School this year, maybe other schools are hoping to digest some of that greatness along with the food they grab on the drive down Cinco Ranch Blvd, not to mention picking up a few of Cinco’s gorgeous guys and gals along the way. “The Katy boys come over to our area because the girls are more sophisticated,” Security Guard Gus said. “They just want to hang with the best. We kicked them out of football so what do they have left? They come over to our Chick-Fil-A”. It’s true that Cinco reached a new level of accomplishment this year with its District Championship in football capped off by a historic victory over Katy, but what’s the deal with “the Red School”? If they are such a threat to us, then why do we catch so many Tigers chowing down at Chick-Fil-a before school? It’s funny that even though they think themselves superior to all schools, they still frequent common hang outs of the reigning District Champs of Katy I.S.D. Senior Colin Buteaux feels the tension and offers some simple words of
wisdom. “It’s a tough world out there with all these gangs and everything…no red is allowed here in the maroon section. Their peeps should just stick to their school and we’ll stick to ours. Another common perpetrator of crossing
enemy lines is the Taylor HS Mustangs. Sometimes we wonder if Taylor kids have the sense to go behind their school to the many commodities located off of I-10. Have they not seen Westgreen Gardens? Yet they never fail us, showing up at our Sonic Saturday nights and clogging the already slow line at Mission Burrito. This is puzzling, because it’s clear that Taylor kids have claimed Qdoba on Mason Rd. as a “Taylor Territory” and Chipotle on Fry is a
common Mustang eatery. They can’t have it all, can they? It seems fair that if they can roam through our burrito joints we should be graced with the
same privileges, but brave Cinco students meet awkward, sometimes angry, stares coming from ill humored Taylor Students. Junior Brad Cernota, and Seniors Ryan Silviera and Fransisco Diaz said “We don’t feel safe eating in an environment contaminated and infested with other adolescents from different high schools, especially Taylor kids. We feel like we’re dining in a barn with all those ponies.” We know this is not the complete truth, but what’s the harm in joking around a little? It cannot be denied that Cinco Ranch is sometimes the center of jokes. “Cinco Stinco” anyone? Due to the elaborate planning of our neighborhood there is a lot for other schools to be envious of; the master
planners really knew their stuff. Do not be alarmed, this is not an article proclaiming Cinco superior to all and burning the rest of the district for all eternity, for this is high school and such things cannot be printed in the paper. Those bothered by the influx of students from other schools should recognize our blue ribbon excellence, and remember that “Cinco Ranch is the best high school in America”. The cure for this case of Cinco territorialism is clear. We shouldn’t think of it as a burden, but as an honor. That other schools find our hangouts so spectacular they can’t help but stay away. So next time you see that caravan of Katy moms don’t get angry, just smile and say “Thanks.”

pretty?...im alriiight!:D

but hey at least Katy people have some good taste eating at Chick Fil-A...thats a start!
U SEAT HOGS!!!:D

at first, even I picked up on the satire. This is ridiculous... and even comical at some points. The same generalizations and stereotypes have been around in Katy since there were the old three schools- Katy, Taylor, and Mayde Creek. Each had their own identity and were very competitive/territorial.

The retraction however, makes things much worse. If you read the letter- they state that they are making light of the actual feelings of some in the Cinco community. What was meant to be a retraction- made it worse. IMO.

Definitely lots of Oakies and other Kleinsters frequent the Waterway, Market Street and Town Center. Mostly Oakies I think. But they're more than welcome to spend their money in The Woodlands :D
