I'm not the one doing the top 10. I would say WB or Central will be number 1.

I can't see Central being in front of WO-S. 4A or not, Central was handled pretty well by WO-S last year and they both have a lot coming back. WO-S proved last year that your not better just because your bigger. They beat 2 of the 3- 4A playoff reps.

Wheres Kerry Franks now? Is he still in Aggieland?

I was wondering the same thing. The article says he is a "former" A&M football player. That kind of threw me.

They will not get field turf because that makes the terrain faster, something they don't want. 8)

I respect ofield very much. I have many friends from there. heck' date=' the house i am building right now is even in................oops, said too much.

I will ALWAYS bleed BLUE and SILVER! 8)[/quote']

I thought your house was in Mauriceville?

Are you EVER going to play paintball again?

I think most coaches realize that what's important are the quality wins (ie. playoffs, state title, etc). The only way to get to that level is through quality preparation, like scheduling quality opponents. This will, of course, hurt your win/loss record in the short term, but building programs is not done over night. That is what most quality coaches are after. The problem comes in when administrations (like Ozen in my opinion) do not give coaches enough time to get there OR the coaches do not approach it correctly.

I have to agree with the BH dude... I think Dayton is being a little under estimated. I think they will vie for one of the top 3 spots, which one I'm not sure of, but will get one. I think this will be the first time in a while that Mid County is outside looking in.

There's enough money around here, especially with oil at 70 something dollars a barrel. These corporations just need to turn loose of some.

I think Dayton finishes 3rd in district at the worst.

All games are at 5:30:

Thursday 6/29 @ WO-S............Cancelled

Thursday 7/6 @ Ozen

Tuesday 7/10 @ WO-S

Couple of points:

Earl Thomas did not go to Jr High at LCM, he was there for one year, his freshman year.

The old Lincoln teams prove that coaching IS important and that speed is not all that it takes. Katy, Stephenville, Austin Westlake, South Lake Carrol are also examples of teams that are not bursting at the seem with speed, but still win consistently.

We're now 14-0 in 7 on 7 this year... not to shabby.

Galena Park will have 500-600 for a home gameunless its homecoming' date=' or free taco night[/quote']

ROFLMAO... that's some funny shizzle there!!!!!!!!!

Linda Warner' date=' LC-M activities director/assistant principal, handled calls from teachers sharing memories of their former student Thursday afternoon.

She dug out an old 1994 yearbook and flipped through it looking for the five photographs of Williams. She stopped on his graduation photograph.

"Even in high school he looked like a Marine," she said. "He was a well-mannered young man. He was quiet, but if you wanted something done, he was quick to volunteer to help with anything."

Some of his former teachers also stopped by the school Thursday, including football coach David Williams. Williams, no relation, described the former star athlete as someone who was always willing to fill in and play any position on the football field. When he would come to school all banged up the next day, people would ask him if he wanted to take the day off and he would always say, "Nobody else is taking the day off," according to Williams.

"He was a tough football player," Warner said.

Williams, who played both offense and defense, was on the all-district team in both his junior and senior years. For his efforts, Williams was nominated for the Willie Ray Smith Award.

Williams athletic prowess didn't stop on the football field. He was also on a track relay team that broke the school's record.

Warner said that she talked with Williams's mother and sister, who are now living in Indiana. They wondered if the school was going to do something in his honor.

Plans are still being finalized to determine if there will be a memorial in the school auditorium or a local church, but something will be done, Warner said.

May God bless and comfort the Willams family...Sincerely, ECBucFan[/quote']

What happened?

We've won the same number BC has... and we may be beatble, but, apparently, not by you. :wink:

It can only help...

Yes' date=' two different issues, but a good analogy. The reason I purposely used it was because "two teams for 5A" in the playoffs started it all off. Now stuff is getting out of hand.[/quote']

I realize the point you're trying to make and I agree that the playoffs are "watered down" because of the number of teams making the playoffs. I just do not agree that you can connect the 2 because the playoffs is one issue and spring practice is another. I just do not think it's a very good analogy (no offense). 3A being allowed to practice in the spring will not, in any way, do anything to water down the playoffs in 3A or at any other level nor can I see how it could be considered a negative in any way, with the exception of the concern with participation in spring sports which was the reason for the original rule to begin with.

Also, not wanting rules changed just because some have been changed to something you see as a negative (like the number of playoff teams), really is not reasonable, especially when the rule needing to be changed is an old one and out of date.

Just my .02.

Hey guys, do you know when you will have the rest of the local 3A previews done?

Great job so far!

Well' date=' then 2A, then A would be asking....Seems like things are getting out of hand in some ways. 3 1A teams are going to the playoffs, even though a number of 1A schools don't even field teams....and isn't 4 5A teams per district going to go, to? Whats next? Let ALL schools make the playoffs? Let ALL play spring ball? It's gonna open a can of worms![/quote']

These are 2 completely different issues. I do not think you can paint them both with the same brush. You can do 1 without the other.

I agree with Grad, it should be available for 3A. This is an old rule and needs to be revised. With the increasing enrollment of 3A schools, I do not think that participation is as big an issue as it was at one time. I think it should be changed and left to the AD's discretion.

According to DCTF, they only have 1 player returning. Seems odd the coaches would pick them #1 if that is accurate.
