    Socrates got a reaction from Mr. Buddy Garrity in coaching staffs of southeast texas   
    He seems to be gradually getting a little better and a little better. Slowly working back into things. Dude has such a great attitude.

    Dickinson beats teams with equal or better talent than them because their head coach is as good as anybody in the state at getting the most out of his kids and finding a way to get it done.

    I don't have a dog in the fight, but haven't seen Hardin on anyone's list of potential playoff teams. Does this win change anything? Btw, Pav is one of the most underrated coaches in the area.

    Congrats to Alex for signing with Kilgore JC today!
    First Longhorn in a while to have a chance at bigger and better things in football. Hopefully more of his teammates will get the same opportunity. Great kid and well deserved.

    Yeah, a lot of things went "right" for Cy Ranch, but I was proud that the Gators didn't fold when they were down 17 late. Almost pulled off a miracle comeback anyway. The back for Ranch was a load.

    Tough loss yesterday, but congrats on a great season to John Snelson and his Gators. Took a few years to get the program going in the direction that he wanted, but I think that they have arrived and will continue to improve. Might be even  better next year.

    Socrates got a reaction from Geauxlden in Atlanta 49 Tarkington 26/Final   
    Just wasn't our day yesterday, and credit Atlanta for having a lot to do with that. On behalf of Longhorn Nation, which brought 2500 fans to Bryan and probably around 1500 plus to Lindale yesterday, I want to say thanks to this group of kids. Couldn't be any prouder. What a ride! Hopefully this success will carry over to the future Horns to know that they can accomplish anything that they work hard enough for. Also thanks to all of the posters on here from around the area for the kind thoughts and words. Best of luck to the teams that are still alive.

    Socrates got a reaction from Mr. Buddy Garrity in Tarkington vs. Atlanta Predictions   
    Really hoped this game would be played at SFA, but they needed all four possible teams (Tarkington/Mexia, Atlanta/Melissa) to commit to the site by a certain time. Melissa is farther from SFA and they would not commit, so the game could not be played there. After that it was get what you can get. Sux that Melissa didn't wind up figuring in to the equation after all.

    Not going to engage you, just don't understand why you need to knock another program, would seem to lessen the value of your win? Best of luck to the Pirates the rest of the way.

    A lot will depend on how healthy LP can get and how fast.Offense didn't look very good minus three offensive starters last week. Also looked like they had a little "Border War" Hangover. Not to take anything away from Sterling, they deserved the win.

    The Ranch Hand Cafe on 105 between Tarkington and Cleveland is down home cookin with just about whatever you are hungry for. If you go away hungry it's your fault. Also, Rock N R BBQ is very good, on the corner of 105 and 321.

    Geauxlden (Goldman), shhhh!

    I don't think cat was trying to ruffle any feathers, just stir some discussion. The Horns have much respect for EC and are looking forward to the challenge that the Bucs bring. This game should be a barometer for where Tarkington is at as a program.

    I guess this is why they still play the games on the field. Doesn't matter who is better on paper or in anyone's mind, just matters on the scoreboard.

    Socrates got a reaction from Critter in Bridge City vs Huffman Quarter Finals GM 3   
    Was able to make games 2 and 3 of this series. Much respect for both quality programs. Both staffs pitched extremely well, especially the number 2,3, and 4 guys. You pretty much expect Smith and Shug to dominate, but all of the other arms were outstanding, as well. Huffman found ways to capitalize on a few key opportunities and BC didn't. Best of luck to the Falcons as they continue on and best of luck to the Cards in their baseball futures. Thanks for an entertaining series.
    Also, gotta mention the Uzzle kid. Even in defeat, he plays the game the right way and is a class act.

    Should be a fun series, as should Huffman/BC.
    All four of these teams are very well coached, playing their best ball of the season and finding ways to win.
    At this point in the game, you are doing your team a disservice if you think any of the teams left don't deserve to be there or got lucky or whatever other term you want to put on it.
    This is the absolute best time of the season and I can promise you that all four teams will leave it all on the field.
    Can't wait to see who is left standing after Saturday.
