  1. Lewisville's 1996 championship came to pass because of its unstoppable run game
    01:14 AM CST on Wednesday, November 10, 2010
    Column by MATT WIXON / The Dallas Morning News

    The 1996 Lewisville team didn't have a huge offensive line, a star running back or high-flying receivers catching passes from a flashy strong-armed quarterback. But the Farmers averaged 45 points per game in the playoffs and had one of the most feared offenses in the state.
    "They are unstoppable," a Converse Judson linebacker said.
    The linebacker said that after Lewisville beat Judson, 58-34, without attempting a single pass in the Class 5A Division I state title game. Lewisville just ran over Judson to finish off a 15-0 season.
    "We averaged over 10 yards a carry," quarterback Michael Odle remembers. "The run game was so successful, we never did have to pass."
    That Lewisville didn't attempt a pass seems remarkable, especially when considered from today's football landscape, dotted with spread offenses. But Lewisville found success in basic football - and logic. Lewisville's Wishbone offense ran at defenses until it was stopped, and the way Lewisville executed, that rarely happened.
    In the title game, fullback Luke Taylor rushed for 154 yards, Odle rushed for 140 and halfback Kenan Gray rushed for 100. Halfback Danielle Brazzell added 95 yards rushing as Lewisville piled up 541 yards.
    "Coach [Ronnie] Gage said that we got better every game that we played," Odle says. "We were executing pretty much flawlessly."
    Judson cut Lewisville's lead to 41-34 after three quarters, but the Farmers dominated the fourth quarter and killed the clock to win their second state title in four years. It was the fifth straight playoff win by more than 20 points for Lewisville, whose playoff opponents had a combined record of 56-4. Lewisville beat those teams by a combined score of 225-59.
    "We weren't the most talented group around," Odle says, "but we played for each other. It was like a family."
    Odle is trying to create the same bond among his players at Barbers Hill, a school 30 miles east of Houston. Odle is the offensive coordinator for Gage, who coached Austin College from 2007 to 2009 and became the Barbers Hill coach in January. Barbers Hill (7-3) faces Port Neches-Groves (6-4) on Friday in the first round of the 4A Division II playoffs.
    Barbers Hill hopes to make a deep run, but it won't match Lewisville's magical season in 1996, when a team with few stars had many shining moments. The biggest came in front of 20,000 fans at Waco's Floyd Casey Stadium, as Odle and his teammates finished a perfect season.
    "That meant a lot to us to look back at it and know that we didn't have a blemish," Odle says. "Nobody could touch u"

  4. Finally...A store for the baseball and fast pitch softball families in the Southeast Texas area.  There is a new store called [i][b]Select Sports [/b] [/i] in Mont Belvieu located on the south side feeder of I-10 just East of Highway 146. 

    They are carrying top-of-the-line products that we all would have to order online or drive to Houston to get.  It's nice to see they cater to both baseball and fast pitch girls' softball.  They have a great selection of things in there.  If they don't have it, they'll be glad to get it they told us.  Plus, they are getting in new things every day.

    I know some of you travel through here to and from work and thought you might want to know.

  7. HF horns Fans, I know that money is tight, but if you really want to win in the athletic arena and in the classroom, then hire an AD that is separate than a coach. He or she can have other responsibilities within the school district that could enhance both the quality of your education and athletic programs. We had a plan to do this at BH in 2006, but the community was not open minded enough to listen and though that there was a hidden agenda. I know that in this time of financial stress that we are all in, that you all are thinking that this is nuts. But if you want the same treatment for the 7th grade female powerlifter that is given to the senior QB, then don't put the AD/Head Football Coach in the position to control the treatment. It's not fair to he or the kids! Good luck in your search and we hope to continue to have a fun, clean, competitive rivalry that we have had for years. It has been a great one!!
