I believe Rouse is in the same school district with past power Cedar Park
My good friend from college was the HC there during the first state championship
They’ve really gone downhill
That's correct. Cedar Park HS and Rouse HS are both in Leander ISD.
Rouse HS is a newer school. It opened only about 15 years ago or so. Right now, the Leander ISD football talent, both coaching and playing, appears to be concentrated at Vandegrift HS at the southern end of the district. When Vandegrift opened (circa 2016), it took most of the Steiner Ranch area of Austin away from Cedar Park. Not so coincidentally, that's the richest part of Leander ISD, wedged between Cedar Park and the Eanes/Lake Travis/Austin Westlake area.
I live in Leander ISD. Dated a girl from Cedar Park in law school. A lot of her family either work or previously worked for Leander ISD.
I'm really, really going to enjoy this win.
