Wow...I know him,. That's my exwifes cousin...LOL

Good season Bucs....

Lamar up on SLU 14-13 at the half. Goal line stand to end the half.

According to a thread on the old coach, The cost of the facility will be about $115 million. Breakdown of who pays what is: Frisco ISD $30 Million; City of Frisco $30 million; Frisco Economic Development Corporation $30 million; and Frisco Community Development Corporation $25 million. The Cowboys will be responsible for any cost overruns, pay the City of Frisco $100,000 annually as lease payment for using it as a practice facility, will be responsible for all future maintenance costs; and will share revenue from any sponsorship/naming rights with Frisco. Not a bad deal for Frisco ISD. $30 mil gets a first rate facility with no costs. Whatever revenue they generate is pretty much profit. It smacks of "mines fancier than yours one-ups-man-ship", but I don't know of any school anywhere that wouldn't take that deal.

Don't know about stats, but saw Halletsville in the regional seifinals against Bishop. Big, strong and good bats. Bishop's #1 and #2 pitchers pitched back to back complete game shutouts the week before against #5 Refugio. Couldn't hold down Halletsvilles bats. Halletsville pitchers gave up 3 runs each game against Bishop. Don't know a thing about Salado.

Just read the post. I was surprised no one mentioned Abiline. They have bee a factor (with some lean years as well) since the '20s.

Good job Bucs...great defense!

Yep... and indoor plumbing too ... lol

You guys must be youngsters.....In the real "back in the day" only one team went to the playoffs in everything.....You didn't play your way into the playoffs---you won your way in...

Great finish!! Good job on the comeback. Been sitting on pins and needles waiting for an update...sounds like a much better 4th. I'm thinking they need to kick it up a notch in the next round...can't afford any more 1 point quarters....

Ouch!! That sounds ugly

Can't tell you a whole lot, I'm more familiar with the girls programs (a friend of mine's daughter played on their state championship volleyball team a couple of years ago). They are usually well coached with good discipline. Athletically not overwhelming but not a bunch of cupcakes either. Should be much better than most of the district opponents EC faced. EC should be able to handle them but they are usually the kind you have to beat, don't generally beat themselves. Usually have a bunch of Polish kids, usually descent to good height and ball skills. Usually have at least one or two good shooters. Notice I said usually a lot. I haven't seen this specific group and don't "KNOW" much about them. My post is generalizations about the program and what can usually be expected from them based on what I have seen and heard over the past 5-6 years. Tried, but haven't been able to get ahold of my friend to get any "scoop" on this particular bunch.

I hear from some West Texas friends that Permian may be looking west at the coach from Monahans. Don't know that they have any real inside information, but its one of the rumors floating out there.

I will be on the road traveling to West Texas, but will be checking updates on my phone every chance I get. Go Newton!!

Its what you do in the weight room that matters,. Doesn't matter if the weight room is a palace or a barn. Doesn't matter if its the biggest jumbotron in the state or the rustiest old scoreboard in the state. Its how many points you put on it. All the bling in the world don't make an ugly gal pretty and the pretty ones can shine without the bling---

Congrats on a fine season ....

Caught a few 6 man games when I lived in West Texas. Fun game but a lot different than 11 man. You gotta be in shape and you better know how to open-field tackle. During the regular season this year a 6 man team played an 11 man team. They played 11 man first half and 6 man second half. Don't remember the 11 man school but I'm certain Throckmorton was the 6 man school. From the report of the game I read the 11 man team took the first half but Throckmorton played more than respectably, no big blowout. Second half was a different story, school was on and Throckmorton spanked 'em nasty. Read about it on Old Coach forum.
