Why dont they try to contact some schools for a possible three way scrimmage? If not with a varsity, maybe two JV's and Burkeville.

I think the most dangerous thing on kickoff is when a kid on the kicking team is running down his lane and the next thing he knows he is picking himself up off the ground from being earhold..I have seen this happen alot, and have had the honor  ;)  of it happening to me a time or two.

Did you see what he did playing first yesterday?

I dont understand why this is illegal. Can someone explain?

Its good to see a catholic school inside the top 20    ;)

Good Article!

Berkman goes 0-4 with one strikeout in his debut.

One of my all time favorite Astros player. Hopefully he can do some good in Philly.

5a- North Shore over Katy

4a- Crosby over Montgomery

3a- Hardin over Liberty

2a- Lovelady over New Waverly

1a- Woodlands Christian over High Island

6-Man- Chester over Mount Carmel

That's just a touch misleading.

If a team is steadily losing enrollment over a period of time, then it makes more sense to use the years that are extremely close to the drop.

Let's say Humble 6 years ago really did have good 5A numbers, so that's not pertinent.
Six years from now, Humble might be low even for 4a numbers so that is not really pertinent any more.

The important numbers are to see what they did when they were barely hanging on to the large classification, then see how they did when they were at the very top of their lower classification and still had the residue of players having played the larger classifications left over roaming their halls.

Jasper in their last 3 years of 4A ball went 6-4, 3-8 and 12-2.
Jasper in their first 3 years of 3A ball went 12-2, 11-3 and 12-4

That's a jump from 21-14 to 35-9.  They went to the semi-finals twice and the finals once in their first three years in 3A.


Look at Longview.
Last year in 5A they went 12-2.  They outscored their opponents 403-224 and lost in the quarterfinals.
First year in 4A they went 14-2.  They outscored their opponents 613-325 and lost only to 5A Allen and juggernaut Lake Travis.
Second year 4a they went 14-2.  They beat the tar out of everyone except 5A Lufkin and powerhouse LT again.

In their 5A district, they won by 17, 8, 4, 8 and 25
In their 4A district, they won by 34, 19, 44, 29, 14 and 27.
In 2009 in district, they won by 3, 45, 44, 17, 45 and 49

They were good all three years, don't get me wrong.  They went from going undefeated in district with a 12 point victory margin to going undefeated with a 27 point victory margin to going undefeated with a 34 point victory margin.

Again, the only times they lost the last two years were to 5A teams and Lake Travis.

Longview was 4A last year, not 5A.

Believe he meant last year of 5A

There is a lot of speculation that he will join strikeforce. I think its a total joke. I read a post on a different site and it stated that most MMA fighters are ending their careers at his age (41), not starting it and i have to agree.

i think the key word there is "most" and not all... i HATE wrasslin but batista is an athletic freak. i guess we'll wait and see.

Yeah I would have to agree with him being an athletic freak..like you said we will have to wait and see how this turns out.

They should do it! Therefore we (those who cant be at the games) can watch.

Were there any locals playing in it?

The new one is better than the original.

Link for Coach Woodard's resume. I would say he is well qualified!

As a Yankees' fan, I am truly bummed out today.

Same here  :-\

Mayweather has until Friday to make a decision on whether or not to accept the Nov. 13 fight vs Manny P. Do you think he will meet it or try and put it off again? Personaly i dont think he will, he will have some kind of "reason" not to.

I think this is a good move.

Spain ended up winning it all 1-0 over the Netherlands. I didnt watch the game just got the score off of espn. My pick to win it all in 2014 is Germany. They did great this year and should return most of their team. But who knows? Still 4yrs away.

I am a little bumbed that Brazil lost today cause I had them picked to win it all. Netherlands is pretty good, got to give it to them.
In the Ghana Uruguay game, Ghana leads 1-0 at the half. Ghana looks pretty good so far. Lets just see what happens in the second half.

Im going to go with Lesnar in this one.

I have to agree with the actions he has taken.  ::) Honestly though, what good is this going to do the team? Lets not play anyone for two yrs and then see if we have learned our lesson and will be better..DUMB

No games tomorrow. The next set of games come Friday.

Brazil vs Netherlands

Uruguay vs Ghana

Paraguay wins 5-3 on PK's over Japan. Good game.
