no-look

Learned today that Phil Ransopher, the state tourney announcer passed away. I loved to hear his voice. He was a legend and an icon for many years at the state tourney. It just wont be the same and he will be greatly missed.

This one will be hard to perdict. Should be tough from top to bottom. If I had to pick a winner, I would guess Lufkin Hudson. Carthage, Center, Jasper and Huntington to duke it out for the other two spots. Carthage lost a lot and may get their players late, but they are well coached and will be in the mix.....they may want to go ahead and play the games just to make sure.....

The first one!!!!  8)

And the OF vs LCM matchup in non-district.

The first one? We open with HJ. How in the #*## can you look forward to that???

Great article.......

no matter what the score was we looked pitiful.  we had so many flags against us it was like a parade, and the bad thing was most of them were correct calls.  Blocking in the back away from the play, holding away from the play, missed blocking assignments, snapping the ball to no one.  Jasper playes carthage next week and better get it together otherwise they will wipe the new field with us.

Sometimes teams play to the level of the competition. Did Jasper play their starters all game?

Prosper 33

Celina 0

5:20 4th Q

WOW! Celina hasn't been beaten this bad since 1994 when they lost to Archer City 42-6

If Prosper scores again it will be the biggest win over Celina since Southlake Carroll's 42-0 win back in 1987 (when they were 3A)

This could cost Ford his job......lol

Is there a final yet?

How did Jaspers jv do last night?

His age was being disputed.  The district voted on it and it was approved and then the UIL reviewed it and it was approved by the UIL!!!!

   THE UIL DONT NEED THE DISTRICT 2 APPROVED ANYTHING THAT THEY APPROVED.

Re-read the post!!!!!!  The district approved it and then the UIL approved it!!!!!

Lazeek, I think a couple HJ's starters must be in their mid twenties......lol

Hudson will win 3a state!

they must have had another good recruiting year.......lol

Whats BC's enrollment?

If I'm not mistaken, too lazy to look it up, there numbers put them close to 4a.  I too wonder why they are so terrible year in and year out.

they came in at 520ish last spring.

ill take bc by 30

Close to a hundred of that number is what they call Pride School.(troubled students from surrounding towns)they are counted for funding but are ineligble for sports.....

Makes you wonder where HJ gets their recruiting budget....... ;D

I was thinking of starting a petition to shorten the H.S. football season by 3 games in Texas and lengthen the basketball season starting in mid October.

bluedove, could we just doze the fb stadium and make room for more bb parking.....lol

Just got word that the repairs will be done in time for district for sure and maybe a little sooner.  Maybe several road games to start the season.

Huntington opens the season at HJ. Wonder if that will be cancelled or moved?

Tarkington won 26-20 I beleive.........Huntington had the lead and the ball at the Tarkington 20 yard line and a first down with two minutes to go. Kid returns an interception for a touchdown.

How did Tarkington finish last year. Huntington seem to be getting better. Wonder how this one will pan out?

How many of these guys play football?

Zach Hayes and Jarvis Benard dont play football.  I'm sure this time of year basketball coaches are nervous that their guys could get an injury during football season and have to miss some basketball.  Why did you want to know who played football, were you wanting to look for them on the football field?  Or another reason?

Was wondering about the HJ players. We open up with them. If they have a couple starters fresh out of football it will be a thirty point win instead of fifty for HJ.......

The 1-3-1 is great........a 1-4 low or high or a 5 out sometimes gives it fits.

Some get really sneaky and set up in a 1-2-2 and then switch to another defense in relation to where the ball is advanced. Different sets having different passwords.

True dat. The shell drill works good if your working on man. You can work on most all areas. Closing out, boxing out, rotation, cutters if you switch. What is the # 1 goal wheather running man or zone? Stop penetration?

Some teams run man to man but at times will have the appearance of a zone. Man puts you in position for better rebounding percentages.

Pros and cons?

There's an article on Texas Hoops about Corey Garrett, 6'8" from Center that had a good summer......said to have several scholarship offers. Center could be a force in this district.
